People that piss you off

[Torrasque]

No, this is not a generic "omg why do people do this?!" thread. I want you to tell me about something people do that drives you nuts (or just slightly annoys you), but with a twist; I want you to tell it from their perspective as they are doing it.

It'll make more sense with an example:
"oh sweet, there are a bunch of open spots for me to sit by myself on the bus, and the entire isle is open for me to stand. But I feel like being a stupid douchebag for no reason, so I am going to stand so close to the ONE guy standing up that I mind as well be leaning on him.
Oh, he seems to have moved away to give me some space. That must mean it is time for me to start TALKING AS LOUD AS I CAN INTO MY PHONE, RIGHT BESIDE THE GUY."

And some people have the audacity to give me looks when my music is a bit loud at times...

Your turn! You can be as obvious as you want (like mine) or whatever.

"Ah, an evening at the theater(live action, movies are for plebs)! Wow, this show is awesome, I gotta tell my friends about it! Why is everyone glaring at me? Why is that lady in black skirt, vest, and white shirt telling me to turn off my cell? Don't they want publicity?"
Dear crying lord, I hate this...we have intermissions for you to talk on your phone and crap! Do you honestly have any idea how distracting that blue light is in a pitch-black theater?

"Hmm, I need to change lanes here. Of course, everyone around me can read my thoughts, so I don't need to indicate my intention. I'll just move without warning."

 

[Torrasque]

People that are totally left wing or totally right wing that always feel compelled to try and force their views onto everyone near them.

Nuuuu, you are doing it wrong

 

[DyranLK]

"Oh man, what a wonderful day. I think I'm going to piss someone off and make sure that they know I'll be enjoying every second of it while they grit their teeth at every 'just kidding' I follow it up with! HELL YEAH!

Now where's my toast...."

 

[Torrasque]

"EVERYONE who plays this game cheats, every single person. So as a 'fuck you' to the other players who ALL CHEAT, I am going to cheat as well. After all, it is only fair!"

Well I have to hate somebody I can't forcefully stop because I won't infringe on their freedom of speech.

Kinda hard to do with those witnesses that love to knock on the door all the time as they look so helpless and that would turn me into a giant douche

No, I mean you are not doing it in the format I asked, lol.

This will be dealt with!

*Standing pretty much anywhere in California*
Random guy walks up to me "Hey man, rich people suck and you should smoke a ton of weed and become a bum to stick it to the man!" and he walks away. 2 blocks later there's a guy yelling that sinners are going to hell, and gay marriage is wrong, women should stfu, and abortion is murder! Also AIDS is punishment because people worship the wrong god!

And then they both accuse me of being on the other side when I disagree

Eh, that'll do I spose.
I can't say I've had that happen to me, lol. Not a lot of crazies here in Canada.

This so fucking much. There's a special place in hell for people like that.

OT: "Oh the restaurant is going to close in five minutes? Me and my group of 10 other people should probably go in before they do, doesn't matter that they have everything cleaned up already. On top of that let's sit there for a half hour without ordering anything! YEAH!"

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

"What's that? You want to change into my lane? You have plenty of space to do so but just because you turned on your signal light I will drive 3 times faster and pass you before you can merge."

So many bad drivers in my area.

"This problem doesn't affect me, so I'd better make sure nobody wastes time fixing it"

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

"I think everybody should have the right to have their own opinion, unless that opinion goes against my Athiest views, because we all know if your religious at all, your evil and deserve any hate you get. Also if a person doesn't have liberal views, they are wicked people. But hey! I think everybody should have the right to their own opinion!"

Ugh....people like the ones I just mentioned are one of the reasons I dislike Liberals as much as I dislike Conservatives.

"Oh hey, you close in 2 minutes? SWEET! That means you are still open! I am going to look around the entire store and scrutinize all these products that I know nothing about even though I know I just want the cheapest beer you have.
*10 minutes later*
"And I get a shirt right? I know it doesn't go with that product, but come on man! I am like your best customer despite the fact that I've never been here before! Man, you are a dick for not giving me that shitty beer shirt that I would have just used as a rag anyways"

"A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater. "

 

[The Preened Mr. Fust]

"I am old therefore I deserve respect and it's high time people started treating me to whatever I may need on a whim without me even having to ask."

"I'm not picking that trash up, that's what the janitors are paid for anyway."

"Why would anyone wear something like that? Maybe I should tell them how stupid it looks."

"Your opinion is WRONG."

There are more, but I find myself feeling that this is an exercise in poisoning oneself and will now move on.

"Op shops aren't real shops. It's not like they paid for the stuff they're selling... so it doesn't matter if I take a couple of things without paying for them. Or carry that $200 jacket priced at $50 into the dressing rooms, cut the tag off and walk out wearing it while the guy at the counter is distracted. Not like it's actually stealing, y'know."

This happened once. And has happened many many other times with other items. When you work as a volunteer sorting goods, pricing goods and sometimes cleaning goods, shelving times, assisting customers, serving customers... well, it breaks our hearts when we find the stash of removed price tags behind the mirror in the dressing room, or the empty boxes in the window that once held expensive perfume bottles.

Seriously, what kind of person steals from a shop where the proceeds go to charity and the needy?



" is a bit expensive for , could I get that for ?"

We're not a market stall. I know it's difficult to understand, but please try to treat an Op shop like it's a "real" shop. It's frustrating for us when people try to haggle when there's nothing wrong with the item, especially when there's a line and we're busy.
