What Are Some Little Things People Do That Make You Mad?

Stopping in the middle of the aisle to look at something on a shelf in such a way that you take up the whole freaking aisle, and then not move when people say excuse me......Lord help me, I will run you over.....

Freaking?

See that's called cussing on the sly.

I have been known to cuss on and off the sly.

If I post something somewhere, and it gets a bunch of views, but no replies. Watching that view counter go up without a single reply is frustrating.

Pay attention to me! Love me! I want your affections!

Did you guys hear something?

Another thing that I've noticed, MOST people seem to do, is try to park as close as they possibly can when going to a store or the mall. I never understood this. I always park in the back, and watch and laugh at the cars that act like vultures, that keep circling areas closer to the entrance of a store. I zoom around them, park where I am 5 spaces away from a car, and am in the store before they even park. I always think, "You guys are idiots." Especially when they're going to be walking well over a mile in that store, an extra 50 feet of walking in the parking lot isn't going to kill you! It's so much easier to park, and it's so much easier to get out, when you park a little further away. If you park too close, the traffic is worse and people will be blocking you to try to get into your own spot. (If you have to park on the side of the road, it's a different story)

It is really funny when people make such an effort to park very close to their gym.  They seem to be forgetting the point of why they are there.

PDAs.

I can endure seeing someone give someone else a little peck,
or a hug, or holding hands.

But anything more than that makes my skin crawl.

Get an effin room.

Whaaaaat? You don't enjoy a little soft porn with your green bean fries and artichoke dip at Applebee's?

You're so funny

YES.

And what is INTENSELY infuriating is when they park like this:



...taking up two or more spaces, in a busy lot, because they don't want their car scratched.

Talk about entitlement.

If you don't want to risk a scratch, PARK NEAR THE BACK where there's lots of space.

I once watched a young girl in a souped-up girly truck
(read, small black pickup with hot pink wipers, license plate frame, etc)
do exactly that, on a busy, rainy Saturday.

Suddenly in a stroke of inspiration,
I remember something I'd seen on Pinterest,
and thought I would replicate it.

When she had gone in, I left her a note, in a plastic sheet-protector
(I had my school stuff with me):

Dear Inbred Skank,

Nice parking job.

It looks like you did that while drunk, blindfolded,
with rabid monkeys clawing at your genitals.

If you don't want your tacky truck to be scratched,
that's understandable...just do everyone a favour and park at the back of the lot,
get off your entitled hot pink whaletail,
and WALK up to the store.

Then elderly people and expectant mothers can have the spots
closer to the store.

Have a great day.

PS:  If I ever see you doing this anywhere else,
I swear I will key the crap out of your shit.

Yes, people that do that are actually asking for their car to get messed with.

OMG AAAAHHHH!  I know haha.

I'm always thinking, why can't people be courteous or how does it not occur to them that they are not the only person in the store?

I never have that problem when I come down the aisle with my long white ankle beater. They can stand there if they want to, but hey. You se this cane? This is the same cane that killed able. so move your meat.

Man, one of my favorite jobs I ever had was a customer service job. Such a great opportunity to flex my smartass. It was a Starbucks, but it was sort of a perfect storm, because it was at a turnpike rest stop, so we got a lot of non-Starbucks type customers. Namely, older folks. They would come over pissed off that the Micky D's line was so long, and they'd yell at me "I just want a coffee. Just a normal coffee. None of that fancy crap. Ok?" The best comeback, I found, was to just tell them the price.

I had a lady come up with the same attitude. I'm standing there smiling "Hello, what can I get you?" She sighs "Just give me one Starbucks." I shout to my drink maker "One franchise please."

My favorite rude customer snark, however, was from a young business douchebag. He came up talking into his Bluetooth, wearing sunglasses and a poorly fitted suit. Somehow he was able to order a strawberry frapp (of course) in between being a big shot on his phoneless phone. I make the drink and hand it to him. When he grabs it in his hurry, he squeezes out some from the top and it runs down the cup. He says "Hold on. Hey, would ya mind wiping this off first?! This suit costs more than you make in a week." And as sincere and as dry as I could, I say "That suit costs $80?" Haha I felt like a damn champion. My boss ran to the back room an was keeled over in laughter.

lol. I'm sure there could be another thread made about dumb customers.

I have a ton of stories, two things that happened that just popped in my head I'll share.. I used to work in a car wash, mostly scrubbing, but I stayed overtime to help cashier this time. One customer rolled up in the car and bought the best wash, which came with air freshener, and she asked, "Does this go in the inside of the car or the outside?" I almost wanted to say, "Put it on the outside of the windshield, and it makes the whole outside world smell like strawberry."

We would also have a great time watching people trying to work our free vacuums. There were about 8 large FREE stickers on each vacuum and we'd constantly get people come up to us to ask how to turn them on, when the only obvious instruction was Press Once Here. They'd also come up and ask how they could pay for them. When we told them it was free, it didn't quite compute in their minds. We could explain to them 3 times in a row, but they still wanted to hand us money.

We had this happen a few times: one of the FREE stickers was covering the hole where you used to be able to put money in it to pay for it, and we literally had people shove quarters through the FREE sticker and into the coin slot, then come to ask us for their money back. We'd tell them we could no longer get into the machine, but after awhile we'd go in there and split $10-$20. People can be huge idiots.

Oh yeah I forgot this one....

Hey I'm talking to you. Put down the damn phone and make eye-contact.

Reminds me too, when I'm talking to someone on the phone and they start talking to someone in their house without even saying excuse me. I have things I could be doing besides listening to the shit going on in their house.

And people who talk on and on without stopping to see if I'm still interested or if I might have something to say. I have even put the phone down to go do something. Come back and they are still talking, none the wiser. When I was a kid somebody in my house would help me by telling me I had something on the stove. I'd go and there's this pot. cold and empty but on the stove nonetheless.
