It's the Official Friday Night Why I Hate People Thread, feel free to join in!
Reasons why LeftyMom hates people:

1. They can't fucking drive. Three cars came within a foot of hitting me on my way home today.

2. They keep asking me if we have any Elmo/PS3/whatfuckingever else we can't get while I'm at work. Nobody has these. Stop bothering me.

3. They can't fucking read.

4. They seem to think rules are for other people.

Okay, your turn DU! Why do people suck today?

2. So you are up from sick, to hating people?
Good for you, LM.

BTW, I considered using that particular image (you know the one) as my avatar -- no descriptive title -- just the image.

Then decided I like to be able to post on occasion.

For some reason I associate that image with you.

So are you up to instigating?

Organizing?

Visiting?

Complaining?

I'm still new enough that I find it amusing -- but the little old people here where I have moved are incredibly grumpy, argumentative, divisive and vicious (some of them)! If I weren't amused, and overall so much nicer than them, I would hate them and their behavior.

12. I could come visit sometime in the near future, I think.
School's starting to wind down. I only have six class periods left, then finals and the whole mess is done for a few weeks. :)

3. Now this is my kind of thread
And can I just say something to all retail shoppers?

When I ask you if you want a bag, I simply desire a yes or no answer. I don't need to know WHY you want the bag. I don't CARE why you want the bag. Just answer YES or NO.

No one is going to judge you based on your answer. Just say yes and get out of my face.

20. Thank YOU for even asking if I want a bag!
I'm the person who says "no thanks, I don't want a bag".
I am used to having to say ' No, no bag, please. I hate bags".

It's so refreshing to hear a testimony from the bagger's side, LOL. No actually, it isn't, because I think there are FAR worse things for a bagger/ cashier to focus on.

You take your life in your hands.

Now I am laughing my ass off:rofl:

You know I live in Florida and you don't even KNOW what happens down here. OMG, you are so right about the grocery store/shopping cart thing...oh wow, just being in the grocery store during season is a trip. Oh, thank you, I like to laugh...:rofl: And here we are, really on the cusp of yet another season...:hide:

8. Dude, I'm sorry you have to put up with that today....
:hug: Working retail sucks.

Let's see... I hate people who spend more time griping about the amount of work they have to do and how stressed they are, at work, than they spend actually getting said work done.

I hate people who can't read. But, that's job security, right there.

I hate people whose fakeness oozes off of them.

I hate people who are actively anti-curious about the world.

9. Some horrible person stole a package of mine off my porch
They ripped off all the contents ($200 worth), dumped the box in a neighbor's yard about four blocks away, he called me and now I'm not really quite sure what to do. I've emailed the person I bought the stuff from. It was insured, at least. But still... what an asshole for doing that. :mad:

11. How late do you plan on staying up tonight?
I deal with a bunch of phony shits and people who can't understand why we have no more show tickets to sell because they wait until the night of the FUCKING PERFORMANCE expecting six seats in a row; then they throw a temper-tantrum at the window.
When I have someone on the phone who asks twenty questions and at that point ten people just DECIDE to show up at the window huffing and puffing because I'm on the phone with someone who doesn't know when to SHUT THE FUCK UP. I can't stand people who gab and gab and gab. I'm not much of a talker, so I guess that's why it bothers me so much....
Ah, I could go on and on and on...but I think you get the picture

17. Oh, let's see
I hate people who , with pointless vindictiveness, lie viciously about other people, including children. I hate people who pretend to be your friend, use you for their own purposes, and then dump you like old trash. I hate people who take one look at me, decide I'm an idiot, and talk to me like I'm an ignorant 2 year old. I hate people who become the president of an organization, then decide a certain person is, I don't know, not impressive enough, and then pushes that person, who worked for three years doing anything that needed doing in the organization, out completely with thinly veiled contempt.

Oh yes, and I hate myself for laying awake at night and feeling hurt when I was stupid enough to expect anything different.

18. Your #4 Rules are for other people
reminded me the first and only time our family went on a cruise and you have a mandatory fire drill within the first couple of hours of getting on the ship, it is mandatory and everyone has to attend including staff.

These 20 or so people were hanging around in the bar with their heads up their asses and drinks in their hands as the rest of us stand in line like stooges in the sun next to the lifeboats that we will be assigned in the event of an emergency. Meanwhile the captain is on the PA system saying that EVERYONE HAS TO ATTEND this is NOT OPTIONAL.

After a half hour they eventually meander out and make their way to where the rest of us were waiting with looks on their faces like, "What?" "We didn't think you meant us?" "We thought we were exempt?"

I yelled out to them and said, "What the hell do you think we are all doing out here, taking a goddamn picture?" "Get in line and shut up."

It took 3 pina coladas for me to start being neighborly again and at that I got some nasty ass looks.

Nothing irritates me more than those people that think somehow they don't follow the rules everyone else does :grr:

19. People are vacuous,
vain, obsessed with form over function, bubble headed, have intrinsically classist attitudes, think elitist inside jokes at the expense of other people are funny, gab too much and take five minutes to say what could have been said in two sentences. And not a one of 'em can drive worth a crap.

Does that cover everything?

21. They are fat bigots who drove my New Special Friend into a
self-hating closet years ago from which he can't get out. (Sob.)
