Overheard Conversations that Anger You

[Striker501]

'So miss, did anyone die in the pearl habour bombings?'

That angered and depressed me so much i face desked.

Okay, so I've only read one page, but I felt the need to add my input; you're completely right in being angered at such individuals. I use the term 'individual' loosely though, because at times it seems like there's a delinquent hivemind thing going on. I mean they're all carbon copies of one another...

I've often heard rather infuriating conversations while travelling on a bus or train. There was once a woman talking to another woman about how her child was being taught Indonesian in his fourth grade class. Now, as far as I know, it's pretty much protocol in Australia for elementary schools to teach the basics of some language or another. Anyway, I'm getting to my point; she was angered by this fact, suggesting she wished her child to learn 'Proper Australian' first.

Yeah... I'm relatively sure we speak English here, lady. Though, she was one of those 'bogans' that overuses Australian slang at every chance she gets.

Sitting in on a marketing class trying to teach their students about the gaming market/industry. Oh. Dear. God.

I managed to get a textbook edited due to the complete moronic state it was in. Gotta love a Game Design/Marketing degree.

But I think the one that sticks in my memory is trying to construct K-9, a bunch of Daleks and the TARDIS for a Digital Communication assignment whilst sharing a lab with a bunch of half-drunk engineers playing TF2. Frustrating at the very least - very noisy and I had to finish the assignment. Bah.

Imagine two blonde girls (nothing against blonde women in general). Imagine stupid, dumb, bimbo voices. Imagine them window shopping at a jewellery store.

Girl 1 - "Ooh, look at that necklace!"
Girl 2 - "That'd look good on you. You should buy it!"
Girl 1 - "I don't have the money to buy that right now!"
Girl 2 - "That's shit. Wait, I have an idea!"
Girl 1 - "What is it?"
Girl 2 - "Get a boyfriend and make him buy it for you!"

I sat there with silent anger. Why the fuck can't they get it themselves? Why can't they work for it themselves. If their sole purpose of getting a boyfriend is to get him to buy them shit, then they don't deserve one. I'm so glad my girlfriend isn't like that.

What do you mean "ten times before you"? That doesn't even make sense. Also, you are both doucebags, shut up.

How does it not make sense?

One must act as such when provoked, so I'll let you off for calling me a douchebag.

Also, please reply to the thread rather than just flaming.

Edit: Oh look you double posted instead. Congrats.

Edit 2: Oh look you also spelled douchebag wrong.

I can't recall the last time I overheard a conversation, bu my ears do get a bit more sensitive whenever I think I hear my name...

I hate my curly hair, so I straightened it, and all day in the halls I heard people muttering that I'm gay, so after the twenty-fifth time hearing it, I spun 'round and socked the guy in the face.

And now I'm picturing you beating him with a sock. Dear lord, that'll stay with me for the rest of the day.

"How many times have you been fingered in one night?"
"Just five, you?"
"Seven."
"Same guy?"
"Idunno."

That's probably the funniest thing I've seen today.
On the other hand, I'm slightly terrified at the idea of "just five" being a small number of times to be fingered in one night and what her idea of a large number is.

I was walking in the supermarket near where I live the other day, when I heard a ten year old kid with a thick Scottish accent told his friend 'And then I stabbed him right in the gut, aye'.

All I could do was hope they were reffering to MW2.

Oh don't get me started on the 'ethnic' faction in Sydney. If I had a dollar for every time they threatened to 'stab' a '****'...

Wait what? Are you inferring A: That you don't like minorities?
B: That Scots are a minority who all threaten to 'stab cunts'?

or C:.. screw it if you are inferring either of those you're an asshat.

OT: Kids in game stores talking about M rated games like MW2 and GTA. Like young kids.

The Scots? As in Scottish? That just confused the hell out of me.

And now you have brought the word "minority" into it. Everyone burn the non-PC guy!

I just don't appreciate it when I witness "minorities"[footnote]In this case the Lebanese, Italian and Greek "minorities". They do not wear Kilts or play the bagpipes.[/footnote] acting out their little gang violence fantasies in public.

Not quite what I meant, but now I am chuckling rather loudly. Good job.

An excellent method of conflict resolution. Bravo to you sir.

I know violence isn't the answer, but I hate people who stereotype homosexuals, because I have a few in my family.

Little kid trumpeting his mental superiority over his mother, swearing and DEMANDING that she buy the yogurt covered Froot Loops "because the yogurt makes them good for you".

Never before have I interceded while working, but by the time I was done, the mother gave me a dollar and walked right past the sweet cereals, and another serial killer was made. I swear, if looks could kill, that kid would have decimated me.

I just wanted to congratulate you an your articulate use of footers. They really helped me understand how you were feeling and why you felt that way. I'm shocked that there isn't an award for this sort of thing. To clarify, I am not mocking you. Bravo.

Oh why thank you!

Shows the NSW education system does teach you something useful.

That's a blatant lie! All the NSW Education system taught me was...... ummm..... well fuck, I was sure I knew this one

Props for the footers though, very professional

Second this

Pretty much any conversation about MW2 from people who couldn't tell you a think about gaming beyond MW2 and GoW 3.

Like everybody has a right to enjoy video games, but you shouldn't play yourself up as a master gamer if your not.
