Overheard Conversations that Anger You

[Blemontea]

My so called "friends" were standing right next to me and they started talking about the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Rule the military has established. They were saying stuff like "Yeah man, if i was stuck in a trench, stranded from the rest of the military, with another guy who was gay. I would shoot him." I wanted to turn to him and tell him "So your saying is you would shoot a man who is not only your ally, but also a person you are friends with for weeks or even months. Well then i hope you dont get into the military or else we would certaintly lose every war." But i didn't becuase i didn't want to be called homo for the rest of the year.

Pretty much any homophobic person opening his retarded little mouth. I ALWAYS ask why they think being gay is wrong and the only answer they can come up with is "It just is, I find it gross!"

a. no one asked YOU to be gay, so why would you care how other ppl want to live?

b. "It just is"??? WTF answer is that?! If people are going to accept that shit as an answer nowadays, I'm going to proclaim that the fucking planet is a cube and when asked why I would say that I'll just answer that "it just is". I'll get ridiculed, that's normal and I would understand if I did, but why don't these idiots get the same treatment?!

I work at Staples Business Depot (we sell business related products as well as computers, printers and other technology) and so another example that pisses me off are the comments from the token friend or family member who is technology illiterate and that is completely wrong about shit while I'm trying to make a computer or tech sale. I would love nothing more than to tell those people to just fuck off or just shut the fuck up and stop interrupting me sometimes...

Hmm, I can't recall any recent times where I overheard something that ticked me off, but back in highschool I'm sure there were many.

Come to think of it, most other females I sat near during classes were obnoxious as hell. English class I'd have 2 girls in front of me yabbing on about parties, makeup, yada yada. Nothing offensive, but it's english class. I damn near missed half of what was taught because those two didn't shut up. Not to mention sometimes a few of the guys in the class (quite textbook smart guys) would talk about how they tortured small animals. If they're conversations weren't so short I'd of had half a mind to punch one of them in the face.

But yeah, most times that anything disturbs me enough I'll end up saying something to make them aware how idiotic they're sounding. It works quite well honestly.

I did however once have a group of 9th graders purposely gather around me while I was at my locker and start talking about whatever; Seemingly ignorant to the fact I was dab smack in the middle of them. I had earphones in and couldn't hear anything they said. Although obnoxious I found the whole situation extremely amusing, so I just waited until they got bored and wandered off then burst out laughing.

Well that didn't really explain much XD But pretty much anything to do with people bad mouthing/bashing other people they hardly know, racists and idiots that say (loudly) whatever comes to mind to seem impressive.

I want to congratulate as well. You really did a nice job.[footnote]You Really did.[/footnote]

OT: Basically most conversations, and yes I am a student of 14 years[footnote]Yes I have 14 years, yet most people think I have 19 for my appearance and overall how I am in front of people[/footnote] and I do get very mad about the goddamn conversations these people have, like parties, god awful music, boyfriends and pure nonsensical rubbish.

It's a miracle I have survived THREE WHOLE YEARS[footnote]I finished middle school this year, just for you know[/footnote] things like that.

But Wait! There's MORE...

Another THREE AWFUL YEARS of THAT ARE COMING!!![footnote]Going to start High School the Eighteen of August/[/footnote]

Fortunately there is the Conservatory, that place makes me really happy, it's very different to basically everything and it's the only school I do go Happily[footnote].

I have an Aunt (non-blood relation) that I absolutely cannot stand for various reasons. One of the last times she stayed with us, I over heard a conversation she had with my uncle...make that an argument. I was in the shower at the time, I was 15 and they thought I couldn't hear anything. In fact, I heard everything and I quote the most important part, "Just stop fucking sniping about my sisters behind their backs." Needless to say I told my mother and all hell broke loose. Since then my aunt has done worse, nothing that I have overheard but things that I've seen.

Hmm, nothing very drastic but I can't stand kids that play COD4 or something and then automatically assume that that is the best game in the series just because they aren't aware of the first 3.

It happens with other things as well, I have a friend who is 13 and, granted he would have only been 3 or 4 at the time says he HATES old games like Ocarina of Time, this annoys me because having grown up during that era I have a huge amount of respect for games like that, in fact they were a massive part of my childhood.

It annoys me, because they don't seem to realise how the games they play today (CoD 4 etc.) came to be, or worse yet, they play the previous games and say that they're "shit" because you don't get perks and you can't sprint away as soon as you get hit, that's what really gets on my nerves, kids who claim that they know stuff about older games but really don't.

Another thing that annoys me are kids who play games like Guitar Hero and Rockband and then go out and buy a real instrument because they think that it's the same, I am a drummer on both Rockband and Guitar Hero, (and yes I can play real drums before anyone says anything) I appreciate that it's good that rhythm games are inspiring kids to learn to play but the problem is their parents go out and buy expensive guitars only to have their child decided a few months down the line that the real thing is 'too hard' and give up, thus wasting about £300

EDIT: oops, it appears that my post isn't on topic, I apologise

OT: Playing an emulator at school (playing Ocarina of Time) and some kid leans over and asks "is that zelda" and I was like "duh" god, kids these days

While sitting outside a movie theater, I overheard some teens trying to figure out how to sneak food into the theater. They finally decided that they would pretend that one of them was diabetic and needed the food to live (Note: this is hypoglycemia. Diabetics would probably die from so much sugar) but they were worried that he would be asked for his, quoting here, "Diabetic ID". They thought that diabetics carried cards to prove that they were diabetic.

I wanted to beat the stupid out of them.

I recall trying to tell a friend about Firefly. I made it sound rather dumb, though, calling it a Sci-Fi Western. I never heard the end of that one.

Just so you know, Hypoglycemia is when diabetics need sugar, hyperglycemia is when they have too much of it, although it's true that sugar can send us into a coma, I know because I've been diabetic for years now.

And by 'Diabetic ID' I presume they mean these bracelets that you can get that are engraved with your medical condition and what you're allergic to, but still that's the stupidest idea I've heard. I once had to shout at someone in my math class because he said "I heard diabetics can't control their bladders" so I stood up and said "(name of the guy) DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M PISSING MYSELF RIGHT NOW? NO, SO SHUT UP"

Ah, my mistake with the terminology. And I'm fairly sure that they meant it as in "Card carrying diabetic", which is baseball-bat-to-the-hollow-skull-worthy.

Not a conversation but...On a plane one day we just got the standard turn off electronics blah blah talk and we were taking off when a girl about 12 years old or so in the row across from me turns on her Nintendo DS. Then puts her hedphones in and proceeds to play some music. It starts playing through the external speakers and I realize that her headphones are not plugged in *FACEPALM* To make matters worse, she turns up the volume and starts singing along.

While walking around, I've overheard a very little snippit of a conversation saying,"No, it's not racist because it's good!"

Gah, I absolutely hate people who think like that...

Pretty much this. Alternatively the opening sentence starts with "I don't want to feel this way, but..." and is usually followed up by a genuinely racist statement.

While signing up for classes today I over heard by a group of kids bitching a police officer was rude to them while drinking. I was there for fifteen minutes so i will highlight the fun points.

1.They were at a party that someone called the cops on.
2.Over half the kids there were under 19(Legal age of drinking here)
3.The kids in question looked 16 despite being legal age, maybe.
4.When asked to show ID one of the kids was lipping off to the officer first. He sounded proud of it.
5.One of the kids was apparently actively trying to hide liquor, in front of the cop.
6.The girl called the cop a "stupid pig" while showing her id.
7. What id the copsay that was so damn rude "What the hell is wrong with you kids giving alcohol to under age teenagers? Get your shit together.

No punishment, he called the parents of the underage kids and had them taken home.

The last thing i heard before I finally got to go get my classes sorted out.

"This country is so fucking oppressive with these fucking cops"

Right....
