I'm getting sick of people

[freefall]

I see the same thing in a crowded parking lot. When a car's owner is about to go, seeing another car which is waiting for his space, he pretends he isn't going to leave in order to make the second car can't park. What a douche.

I never had that sort of problem.

I'm sick of people since ages.

I went to a store today to pick up 1 item. I was in the aisle looking for the item and some stupid jerk walked right up next to me and huffed . I’m a little guy and don’t take up much room (and there was plenty of room for him to walk around me) but I thought maybe I was in his way. So I moved several steps backward thinking he wanted an item in front of me. OH NO! He stomped right on through and went to the other end of the aisle to get whatever the hell he needed and came walking back and made sure to pause right in front of me as he walked back by. Anyway, I found what I needed and proceeded to the cashier. I was the only one at the register but of course someone came stomping up behind me and huffed (not the same huffer as before, it was a brand new muther huffer). He had a handfull of crap and seemed to be pissed that I was only purchasing 1 item. While the clerk was ringing up my one single solitary item, muther huffer kept creeping closer and closer until I thought he might climb over my shoulders to get to the cashier. I paid cash, so it’s not like he was waiting for my credit card to be approved! My whole transaction took about 30 seconds. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t want a total stranger breathing down my neck while I’m opening my wallet and paying for something. And don’t get me started on the idiots driving through the parking lot at 90 miles per hour to get the spot closest to the door! Maybe I’m just getting older and more intolerant, but I really think people are in too much of a hurry to get nowhere. And it’s turning them into very rude, nasty, revolting people. Sorry for this rant.

OH I KNOW!! I hate huffers!! There's no reason for it. Whatever happened to "excuse me" and getting people to shift slightly?! Has humanity devolved so much that we now revert to huffing and puffing to communicate?!

It's a sad state of affairs...

Soon grunting and clubs will make a comeback.

I'd say I fend them off with a wide stance, but Larry Craig kind of ruined that expression for me.

So being a bit of an eco-hippy I've been taking Transit to work, which involves a bus, and then the LRT. Everywhere else I've been, London, Vancouver, Montréal, people have lined up to get on the bus. Everybody knows the drill: first of all it is common courtesy. Second of all, it is the only way those cities could function: get in line, be ready with your fare, and get out of each other's way as painlessly as possible. You're in a big-boy city now and we've got to move things along.

In Edmonton, no. Often enough they just kind of mob the door. It's like all of the diseases that Mr. Burns has, all trying to break into his pathetic fragile immune system at once and none of them can get through because they all wedge in against each other in what his doctor calls "Three Stooges Syndrome."

Doctor: Mr. Burns, I'm afraid you are the sickest man in the United States. You have everything.
Mr. Burns: You mean I have pneumonia?
Doctor: Yes.
Mr. Burns: Juvenile diabetes?
Doctor: Yes.
Mr. Burns: Hysterical pregnancy?!
Doctor: Uh, a little bit, yes. You also have thousands of diseases that have just been discovered, in you.

So some ass-hat tries that today when clearly myself and another gentleman are there well before him, yet he feels entitled.

Now I know many people would just roll their eyes and think the guy is a jerk, but some days the day is too long and life is too short. So I step in front of him just as the bus doors open, and he's the one who is offended!

I'm so done with assholes. Fuck the environment. I'm driving.

If people are standing so close to me that I can smell their breath, I usually take a step backwards and right into them. They usually get the message that they are in my space and that it is a 'bad' thing to do.

The people who really get on my nerves are the ones who think that the supermarket is just there for them and that they are the only one in the entire store. This usually means that they leave their trolley in the middle of the aisle while they go looking for something. Again, this is a 'bad' thing. This always results in me asking them when they return, 'Am I in your way?'. To which they sheepishly reply 'No'. Then I get to use my outside voice 'THEN YOU MUST BE IN MY WAY. MOVE YOUR FUCKING TROLLEY!!!'

LOL good one.

Hey, question: Where do you live that they call it a trolley? I'm curious. Here it would be a shopping cart. (Canada that is..)

I've noticed the same here, I'm so sick of the rude people that my normal and friendly manners are going out the window.

Usually in our shops, you have old people with shopping trolley's and their own personal trolley's they use to hurl things about in. Then you have people with strollers/prams and trolley's. Then you have people standing, blocking aisles whilst they talk away.

I just use my trolley as a ramming device, anyone in my way are gonna have sore legs!

So why not stand up to these fuck wads? If someone had pulled that shit on me they would have heard about it. Next time say something. You'll feel alot better.

Jayden makes a great point. I have started to do just that. NOt all the time, but I have begun to tell these people a thing or two. You must plan a bit so as to not be be nasty, but demeaning. I fine that clerks like it. Make syou feel better. In the end you may even help these poor souls a bit, too. We lead such fast lives and sometimes need a reality check.

Exactly. Well put Jayden! That's what I do anymore. I used to be the kinda shy, quiet, and reserved guy, but not anymore. If someone pisses me off, especially in public like that, they're going to hear about it. Like the people who just stand in the middle of the isle and talk! Those people really annoy me. I was in Wal Mart one time, and these two hens were just cackling away about random shit and I couldn't get through the isle. I stood there for a minute, thinking they'd get the hint that I wanted through, but oh no, they were too busy blathering on about some stupid shit. So then I told one of the women, I said, "Excuse me", and tried to make my way past, but to no avail. So finally, I was pissed off by that point, I just looked at both of them and then said "You would shut the fuck up and move outta the way so I can get through?" then I went on about my business.

I know where you're coming from. I find that the older I get the more I want to strangle most people I come into contact with out in the public.

I don't have a problem with people telling me to have a nice day. That's fine, but it's these freaks who want to always say "have a blessed day". I was in a really foul mood while in a grocery store a few weeks back. It was the wrong day for one of these "blessed day" freaks to start up and when she did it I just looked at her and said "you don't give a rat's ass whether I have a blessed day or not so why do you even bother?" The idiot girl just stood there looking like a mental defective while I left. I was in the checkout line next to her a week or so later and I noticed she was not doing the blessed day crap anymore. I think maybe some others lit into her too or the management told her to cut it out.

LMAO you sound extremely jaded and bitter; but you're a silly Atheist. I'm not the most religious or spiritual person but if someone says bless you when I sneeze or 'have a blessed day' I do not have a temper tantrum like you do Tybee.
