People Are Jerks...

[Stoic raptor]

I am an Indian/Pakistani Muslim who went to a school that was literally 91.6% white and most of them were hardcore right wing Catholic conservative pricks. One of the worst things to happen was this rich kid made a huge banner depicting a Muslim terrorist stereotype only with my yearbook picture as the face (he was on the yearbook team so he had access) and people signed it and added more comments that praised it. AND nobody removed the damn thing till the Christmas holidays.

Though I'm not sure it was worse than being beat up and left on the sidewalk bleeding by some of these assholes.

Damn. I was discriminated for being Muslim too, but not that badly.

During my middle school year especially 8th grade, somebody bullied me.
I was overweight, but I had abnormally large boobs for my size. So he would grope me.
Everybody thought it was funny. I hated middle school.

At least high school was a complete switch. I love my high school.

The other day I saw an old man in a wheel chair stuck at a crosswalk, so I pushed him out to the middle of the road and left him there. Wait, you meant OTHER people.

one kid at my school would steal kids backpacks(this school was nazi about back packs and if you were caught going to class with out one you would get a few days detention)and would do some assorted beatings the best part was when he opened his backpack a bunch of assorted porn print outs spilled out and he got a months detention and I think his dad beat him I counted out how many days of detention and roughly how many beatings he had doled out and he got roughly half of what was coming to him.

any 80s movie antagonist

I love movies from that day; antagonists who are evil just because there needed to be an antagonist.

Now-a-days, the antagonist always seems to need a tragic back-story that makes you sympathise/feel sorry for them. This makes it confusing as to who I am supposed to be cheering for...

Although, I do like the tragic back-story thing, I just wish it weren't overused.

Was up visiting a buddy going to Madison, out at the bars- my buddy goes up to get another pint when he answers a text, a girl comes up from behind him and takes his phone and starts saying "why the fuck did you take my phone?? what the fuck, asshole?!" Even though she had another phone CLEARLY visible in her jeans pocket and that this was scamming him into not fighting it- as he THOUGHT no one would take his side.

He tries to forcibly take his phone back when a guy and girl back her up, the guy punching my friend in the nose and calling him a sicko for taking 'his girls' phone and touching her.

The rest of our group gets up to help out, and the 3 bolt for the door, in the commotion they just about get away til my buddy grabs the guy by his wallet chain, breaking the chain and wallet with it. Wallet is full of cash, Harvard school ID and credit cards in other (assuming parents) names. So he wants his wallet back now- and calls us fucking pricks for taking it, and pleads that his parents will kill him- so we start throwing ID, credit cards and all at the window into the snow bank one at a time til they give the phone back- until he yells for his gf to give back the phone- so she throws it against the wall. Phone broke upon contact.

We throw the rest of the wallet out the window, cash and all- they run to catch it.

What the fuck, some rich asshole kids who like to get some kind of thrills stealing the poorer kids stuff? Fuck everything about that.

I high school was the quiet kid who always sat in the back of the class and never got involved in anything, add this to the fact I have long blond hair, dress nicely and only have about 4 friends (all male) everybody assumed I was A). a raging homosexual who would wanted every piece of male ass I could find or B). planning to bring a gun to school and murder everyone... I still cannot figure out how they came up with these ideas but to this day it still hurts to look back and realize that I hated every second of "the best years of my life".

People are, have been, and always will be complete and total assholes. I know this is unabashedly cynical of me, but until someone can give me definitive proof that a group of people that have nothing in common can get together and actually GET SOMETHING GOOD DONE without insulting or harming someone they don't know, I will continue being a cynical prick.

EXAMPLE: I work in a grocery store, and two or three years back, we had a special going on in which a random customer got a free T-shirt when a little certificate got printed out with their receipt.

Needless to say, this day was pretty busy, and a few people were understandably quiet to our obligatory "hello how are you have a nice day" rigmarole.

Then a lady came up with a small basket of items who was clearly NOT in a good mood, but she at least seemed to be trying to act pleasant, which is really all I ask for.
UNTIL! Her free T-shirt thingy game up, and the cashier I was bagging for took it and held it out to the lady and said, "Looks like you got a free shirt!"

And I quote: "I don't have time for this shit."

My job description states that I have to play friendly no matter what, but I forgot that as I stared open-mouthed at the ***** as she stormed past me, refusing to look at me.

But I got her free shirt, so on the extreme off-chance she reads this at some point, FUCK YOU, *****!

I hate the grocery business so much I almost get tangibly ill. One time I was bagging for a pissy old bag such as the one you described. All of a sudden she felt the burden to stand over my shoulder and watch me work. She slaps my hand as if I were a dog that had just pissed on her floor and said "NO! THAT'S WRONG!" I snapped. I turned to her and I said "Ma'am, and I use that word very loosely, Get out of the store. We reserve the right to deny you service, and I'm utilizing it. I don't ask for much from this job, but I will be respected. Now go, or I'll file assault charges for you hitting me." Whether or not I had a legitimate case against her, she became very scared and apologetic. I didn't care. Merely the word "OUT." We just put her stuff back in her cart and but it in the rerun section. Word got to my manager, who was very pissed until she heard that she hit me. She told me I played the lawsuit card well but she didn't want to hear about anything like that again. It was totally worth it.

its not mine but my moms story
she worked as a nurse in a hospital and someone she worked with remove her day off on her birthday and gave it to herself so she could get her HAIR done...*****

 

[cryogeist]

6th grade worst grade ever....i was made fun of so much that the last day i was a complete asshole i hadn't shown up the first 3 days of the last week of school came in the last day and leaved early cause i told the teacher quote"i only came in to get my report card so my mom knows i passed" worst part is the teachers knew all these kids were being jerk offs and they did shit about it...

 

[badgersprite]

Been around the internet lately? =P Yeah, there's a lot of bitchiness, smugness and superiority complexes on the internet. Not so much on the Escapist, thankfully, but in a lot of other places.

I don't tend to associate with people who enjoy putting others down or being snide and judgemental about people they haven't even taken the chance to know, since that's been directed towards me an awful lot in real life since I'm kind of a nerd, wasn't overtly girly in high school (or what you'd call middle school) and because it's not cool to be nice to people, I guess. You know it says something about how bad and two-faced someone's attitude is when they read genuine friendliness as being 'fake'.

Anyway, the worst story I know didn't happen to me personally, but I know of a girl who got cancer when she was really young, and other kids would make fun of her for...being terminally ill, I guess. Yeah, I guess kids who are dying are super lame. She's such an attention whore for...getting cancer.

...What the hell were these people thinking?! How can people be like this? Honestly, those kids are so incomprehensibly unempathetic and heartless that to this day I cannot even wrap my mind around it. When I was their age, I definitely knew better. Kids at my primary school were always nice and friendly towards others who we knew had medical problems, the same as we were to every other kid, from the very first day of kindergarten. Maybe we were just raised to behave right. I don't know.

Yeah, I'm kind of a jerk to my roommates, but I haven't thrown them out yet, despite the fact that they still owe me part of December's rent... and all of January's.

Neutral

A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn?t feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she?s not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.

Seems pretty accurate...

Wrong thread, methinks.

An entire school, except for one girl, essentially bullied me for a year in 7th grade. No reason at all, the teachers were all useless, they turned a blind eye to the bullying and said I was a liar even when I had scrapes and bruises and I was not one of the kids that would run and play, I was more of sit in a corner and read a book.

At the end of the last day of the school year all of my pent up rage was forced out when a kid who I thought was alright, pushed me down to the floor of the gym. I chased that kid down as much as I could, but never hit him, it took two in shape gym teachers to hold back a small 13 year old, out of shape, pacifistic kid with arthritis long enough for him to hyperventilate and pass out. Then after waking up I nearly got right back up to chasing the kid but the teachers were still holding me down so I couldn't do anything.

I hate myself for losing control like that.

I've had fantasies of doing the same thing to one kid.
He really doesn't really bully, to me anyway, but he just acts like a huge douche to his girlfriend who i like and i think she deserves better. im not saying me but hes just a big douche to her. i have even heard him say hes going to break up with her for some other *****... i generaly care about her
