How annoying are people?

[Writer]

I mean, I wonder at times why other people exist at all?

:P

Hrmmm... maybe that's more of a philosophical question?

1. I can't help it

:shrug:

I just am.

[Writer]

2. It sounds like you are after you thought about it...

right? ;)

[BarenakedLady]

8. I am both annoying

and apparently exist for no reason, yes.

[Writer]

9. Actually, I meant that in the philosophical sense...

"I think, therefore I am."

Sorry. That was my very poor attempt at humor. :(

[BarenakedLady]

14. No no, I totally got ya

But I still stand by statement of being annoying and existing for no apparent reason.

It's all good.

[Writer]

17. Well then, you know what?

Let me crack out a beer or two. I think I also am annoying and exist for no apparent reason. Let's drink on it. Cheers!

:toast:

[BarenakedLady]

18. Right on

:toast:

Here's to being useless and annoying!

3. So you will have something to aspire to.

4. I don't like most people I meet.

People either really like me or they think I'm a complete bitch. There's no middle-ground really.

5. Same here.

People either love me or hate me. And I tend to feel the same way about other people.

[ThomCat]

6. Very.

Um, were you looking for a more nuanced answer? :P

7. meg ryan said it best.

"My ass is twitching. You people make my ass twitch."


Yeah, i thought Forget Paris was pretty funny.

[trof]

10. Most aren't. But the ones who are...

make up for that.

11. The poet Philip Larkin put it best:

"Hell is other people."

Quite a ray of sunshine was ol' Phil. He also wrote the touching poem 'This Be The Verse':

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.



I wish I could buy a greeting card with that poem on it.

13. You know, that has to be one of the most honest writings I've ever read.

I've heard a bit of it before. It seems a bit defeatist, but it completely captures my feelings as of late. Thank you for posting it! :hi:

12. I just got off an 8 hour shift in a grocery store

My answer would be "VERY!" x(

There's the employee who works the meat department right next to me who sings tunelessly along with the canned commercials and Christmas music.

The woman who asks me if there are any 18 pack eggs and when I check and tell her politely that I'm sorry and there are not goes off on me and tells me that she came to the store specifically to get eggs and now she has a cart full of groceries and no eggs (it's my fault she got a cart full of groceries?) and she needs them NOW (I always want so badly to say - politely of course - "Well, hold on just a moment and I'll pull some out of my ass for you.").

Then there's the idiot checker who spends so much time telling each and every customer her life story that the line builds up beyond belief and she has to call me to check (I run the liquor department - a very busy department at this time of year). I can check out at least 5 customers to her one. No exagerration.

Or the customers who stop right in the middle of the aisle and stand there blocking the whole thing while they gaze vacantly at the shelves.

Or the ones who want "... a bottle of wine... it was red... I don't remember the name... do you carry it?"

Yeah, people can be pretty annoying. :eyes:

15. sometimes they are VERY

[Redstone]

16. Very. And yes, before anyone else points it out, I am indeed a prime example.
