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

Kingpin....that was graphic.

Remember, this is over littering.

You know he's a pussy attacking a woman he thinks won't retaliate, as soon as another guy comes along he'd run with his tail between his legs. I know the type. I'm so glad the crowd came together to drag his ass though, that doesn't happen enough these days when someone gets violent.

- Anyone older than 5 who still manages to get food around their mouth while eating... gross!
- People who walk way too slow. When I have somewhere to be, I pound that pavement like a model on a runway. I don't need your slow ass walking at 2mph in front of me, with no way around you, when I have places to be.
- Litterers.
- People who don't wash. I keep chopping people on this but I can't say it enough, people, in the morning... shower + brush your teeth + deodorant + clean clothes. It's really not that hard.

I despise litterers, but what is worse are litterers with attitude, who think they have every right to litter,
and think that you have ZERO right to resent it.

There was a big flap in Toronto in 2006, over a litterbug.

A female bike courier was passing through a quaint, pedestrian-only, vintage-clothes-shopping district of Toronto,
called "Kensington Market".

As she was leaving the area, she saw a huge SUV roll down a window, and an empty McDonald's bag hurled unapologetically to the ground, outside, in plain view of everyone.

Outraged, the bike courier picked up the bag and chucked it back into the still-open window of the SUV.

The driver of the SUV, a young man much larger than the bike courier, emerged, seething, and this ensued:

Remember, this is over littering.

The story made the news, much public opinion siding with the bike courier,
but a surprising amount sided with the litterbug;
the main reason seemingly that she "took the law into her own hands"
by electing to toss his garbage right back into his truck.

Same here, I always keep my garbage in my car until I get to a trash can. And, if I'm walking or hiking on a trail somewhere, I put the trash in my backpack or pocket.

This one is sort of common too: people that have really messy cars. I do get used to it after a little bit, but it's always a shock when there is garbage all over the car. I don't see how people can drive like that, or how they can invite people in the car without any shame when it's completely trashed.

Hate a messy car.  Far too many people don't value and appreciate the things they have.  I take care of what I have worked for.

Where the fuck am I supposed to remember your silly ass from?

Baaahahaha God damn it, Rhonda! I'm at work.

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)

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.

Parking their cars on hills with the front wheels oriented in the wrong direction in the middle of winter.  Hey asshole, it would take you half a second to make sure your jalopy doesn't careen into the road - if I could kick them into the proper alignment, I would.

[Kingpin]

How about in a construction zone that has clear directions that your lane is closing in the next 2 miles, 1 mile, 1000 feet and you wait until the absolute last possible second to decide to merge over. You can hit my jalopy van with your shiny new car dude, I don't care.

[The Grand Nudger]

LOL, I used to box the shit out of those people when I was a truck driver.  Alot of us did, we'd get it planned out over the cb, put em right onto the shoulder. Nut to butt, 4 deep in the right lane, laughing our asses off.

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?


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.
