People that piss you off

"We've been told time and time again that our hourly workers are not allowed to work longer than 8 hours, but since she's just sitting there waiting for a ride and I shouldn't be inconvenienced I'll just ask her to do this one real quick thing. . . five times before I leave. Yeah. It's a favor to me so it's not like it counts as actually working or anything. Not a big deal at all!"

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

People who won't take the hint and shut the fuck up who try and start a conversation with me... and me alone when I'm OBVIOUSLY on a DATE... just saying it tends to happen, someone hears some of the stuff I'm talking about with said date, generally something of an interesting nature, and decides they want that to be the topic and start in on it at me... in public... when I'm talking to a cute girl... I'm sorry old dude but you should just shut the fuck up man, just leave me in peace, you throw me off my groove then I look a fool, or hafta get all awkward and we both hafta leave... just... annoying as hell.

Oh and people who are totally fake, friends that pretend to want to hang out and then make a lame ass excuse, and ditch at the last minute, not even giving you time to make other plans.

"My shopping cart is full and things are falling out because it is so full, but I'm too important to wait in a normal check out. Look at that scrawny twig girl in the express lane. She is probably annorexic junkie, because no one can be that skinny. Screw her. What is she buying? Some batteries? She'll probably use them to make drugs. Stupid skinny ^%$#. I got my oversized sunglasses and sweatpants so that means I'm like a celebrity so I'm just going to shove her out of the way. I will fart to in her face, because my body makes lovely smells.

Oh hell no, the clerk asked if I wanted to use my savings card which is free. Sure a simple no thanks will be okay, but I bet that clerk loves badgering customers for fun. See I knew it! She won't accept my expired coupon that is a couple months old. I need my chocolate fudge!! Get the manager here now."
*she talks to manager, manager gives in and admonishes clerk for doing her job (but if she had accepted coupon earlier than she would have gotten in just as much trouble)*


~_~ Yeah, I hate pushy people who think they are too good to wait in lines. I had one item and this massive lady cut me off. I'm very skinny and sometimes get treated as that I must be annorexic. My metabolism might be good, but even if someone's isn't there is no excuse to be like 400+ except laziness or not having legs. I hate how in America, customers who are extremely rude get to have rules bent (when I worked in a bookstore I had to accept books for return that were obviously read and trashed due to manager kowtowing to some nasty lady).
At least living in Korea, that behavior and clear disregard for health is very rare instead of the norm.

Shopping survival of the largest? I noticed that when I went to Vegas too; people are dicks when it comes to waiting in lines. Fortunately I was too drunk to care most of the time.

At my last job (liquor store), we'd have so many customers demanding free shit (glasses, shirts, etc) even though it didn't go with what they were buying. Depending on the person and my mood, I'd either be "yeah sure" or "lol no fucking way dumbass".
My friend gets flak for being super skinny too, but she just has the nuclear reactor metabolism that I have, and can't put on weight no matter what. She even tried putting on weight for 2 weeks (was extra lazy and ate really fatty foods), but instead of gaining weight, she got sick for a week lol.

I have the same sort of metabolism. I tried eating a lot of cheese for a week to gain some pounds on my doctor's insistent (I'm 112 pounds and 5 foot 7). It didn't work. I also am only hungry a couple times of the day and I fill up quickly.

"Hey, that guy just killed me! Well, he can't be better that this game than I am! He must be hacking!"

This has happened to me countless times on multiple games mainly TF2, but even on L4D2 once. On versus a smoker grabbed me but I was close enough to push him off. Unfortunately, this was apparantly "hacking" as I was kicked for being a "hacker".

"Hmmm, what's this? A car going the speed limit catching up to me when I'm in the fast lane? I had better slow down to match the speed of the guy in the lane next to me so he can get by."

Meanwhile, I have a good 80 mph run going, and have to slow down to 55 in a 70 because this guy in a fucking prius can't go the speed limit, can't pass the guy next to him because he's in a prius, and refuses to slow down to get behind the guy. I'm in a motherfucking Chevy AVEO for fucks sakes and have no problem going faster than the limit.

Wow my four wheeler is awesome! I think I'll wait until night to tune the engine because that's the best time to do it! It'll make it easier to focus the light from my flashlight.

*night comes*

I think everyone in the neighborhood will agree how awesome it is when I rev the engine at full throttle. I'll make sure to fire it up an hour later too in case anyone missed it, that way, They ALL can enjoy it! XD XD

"i love wearing flat-billed baseball caps slightly askew, with a poorly drawn, multi colored, too long decal shirt that covers the fact that my pants hang well below my ass."

or

"i love wearing normal every-day clothes, save for a fedora/trilby because i think it makes me look educated and intriguing, regardless of the fact that i'm just a sophomore liberal arts/journalism major."

or

"the only thing i like more than chewing gum is chewing gum loudly enough for everyone within 30 feet to hear it."

or

"the only thing i love more than buying roofies and miller lite with my frat buds is taking distressed, dark-grey university t-shirts and removing the sleeves and sides so everyone walking by can see the chest i spend all of last semester's class periods working on."

i could seriously do a A LOT of these.

"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.

What is this magical Op shop? I've never heard of one ?_?

Whoops, didn't know it was only called that in Australia and NZ. It's short for "opportunity shop". An op shop [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_shop] sells donated goods, is usually run by a charity and is staffed by volunteers. The one I work at is one of the shops run by the St. Vincent de Paul society [http://www.vinnies.org.au/home-vic].

Ohhhh ok. They are apparently called "hospice shops" here in Canada. I don't think I've ever been to one...
A friend of mine in So Cal does most of her shopping at shops like these, lol.

"Hey everybody, our favorite driver in the Chevy S10 is hitting the road again! Let's all make sure to set a good example for him by driving as sloooooowwwwwwwww aaaaasssssssssss wwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeee caaaaaaannnnn! "

Meanwhile, in my truck:"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK!!!!! GET OUTTA MY WAY, YOU SLOW-ASS!!! I GOTTA GET TO WHERE I AM GOING TTTTT-TODAY, JUNIOR!!!"

The Offspring put it much more eloquently with their song "Bad Habit" off of their Smash album.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Ignorant people who try pushing their beliefs on other people. And crazy fans of anything, really. Also, self-proclaimed autistic people, especially when they use it as an excuse to be an asshole.

Could you please re-state that from their perspective?

Ah, touche.

lol, I meant could you re-state what it is they do that annoys you as if you are them doing the annoying action.
Please read my original post if you need clarification.

Right, sorry about that. "I'm autistic, 'cause I read it on the internet that I have the same traits, and that means I can get away with being a jackass!"

That mentality really bugs me.

"Wow this is a nice meal.In fact it's so nice that I'm going to devote all my attention to it and completely ignore the fact that my child is running around the restaurant shouting at the top of his/her voice.I'm sure the other diners won't mind anyway because after all my child is a little angel and this way they get to she just how adorable he/she is."

"I'm a really tough guy but I don't think people realise just how tough I am so I'd better show them by starting a fight with a complete stranger.Oh hey that guy glanced at me for a split second.That means he's challenging me to a fight so I'd better go over there and get stuck in"

"I hate smokers.Even though the law states that they're not allowed to smoke indoors anywhere but a private residence I don't think it went far enough.Oh look a guy just minding his own business smoking a cigarette out in the open air nowhere near any buildings or people.I'd better go over and tell him exactly how disgusting his habit is and how he's damaging other peoples health even though I breathed in ten times more toxic fumes from car exhausts while I've been standing here.Wait how dare he get annoyed at me.Doesn't he realise how evil his habit is?"
