stupidity!
uncleanliness!

and if you are stupid AND unclean.....

When people do not show the elderly respect.

Using profanity in front of them or not giving them a seat on the train or bus.

people who take so long to pay at a cashier

That shit outrages me, but seeing how tricky the universe is, it will happen to them when they TOO get old. And while we're at it, those spoiled brats who cuss their parents,,,and THEIR PARENTS for letting that shit slide

- Cashiers who speak on the phone while I'm standing there READY to purchase my item looking like a damn fool with nothing to do but wait. I NEVER feel guilty when I go off on one of those saddity bitches.

- Grown ass folks using the word "hater"

- Grown ass folks mouthing "OMG"

- Grown ass folks who go to the bank with pyjamas on

- Folks passing judgement,,,esp when it comes to food

- But seriously, evil people, period. I could tolerate stupidity, bullshit, bad breath,,,but I could NEVER tolerate a devious act. This is where I draw the line.

People who let their children run amuck in public and think its cute...

People who suck in their snot really loudly like their gonna hock a loogie..

People with unclean hair.. Shampoo is CHEAP people!

People who walk down the middle of the driving lane in a parking lot instead of off to the side.. I will get my car as close to them as I can! I LOVE the dirty looks!

Teenage girls...How annoying are they!

Really large people who ride those carts in the grocery stores then hog up the whole isle so you cant get around them!

Add on

Rude OLD people. You should know better!

People who stand too close to me whilst in a queue.

Dirty people, I can barely tolerate messy people, but dirty people enrage me.

Poor table manners

AshK said:

YES! they act like they have a right to be rude just cuz their old!

And no one wants to call them out on it, so old people get a pass to be as rude as they like.

I actually sell these now...

AshK said:

I politely call them out on it...

People (tourists mostly) who amble leisurely side-by-side down the sidewalk, taking up most of the concrete, completely oblivious to the hundreds of NYers who are trying to get around them! Move.the.fuck.out.the.way!


People who don't wait for you to exit the subway before they're pushing and shoving on. And if a trains really crowded, people who push unnecessarily to carve out a space for themselves. (I know a little bump might be unavoidable - and say excuse me!)


People who don't say excuse me.


People who use a crowded subway as an excuse to cop an inappropriate feel. Keep your hands to yourself, asshole.


Coughing/sneezing on the bus or subway without covering your mouth -- with your elbow - don't do it in your hand and then hold on the to poles.


People who are all up in my personal space.


People who ask me directions when I'm waiting for the subway/bus, especially when I have my headphones on. I'm not wearing an MTA uniform - ask them and make them do their jobs.

I totally call old people out on it. They do shit like cut lines on purpose b/c they think, "Hehe, I'm old, no one will say anything." Wrong!

insatiable3 said:

But why should they let you in front? That's sort of assuming your time is more valuable than theirs, isn't it? Don't they have self-checkouts or express lanes where you live?

(Maybe it's because I live in NYC -- most people at the store only have a few things because we don't have cars or space, so it's every person for themselves.)

tinaz said:

I only call them out if they really irk me, but I think I'm too passive aggressive that it goes over their heads lol

florescent said:

Oh my God, THAT.

I can't stand people being rude or sharp with their kids for no good reason. I also can';t stand folk that talk down to children like they think they're stupid or something.

People who mosey along down the sidewalk at a slower pace than everyone else. If it's unacceptable when you're driving, it's unacceptable when you're a pedestrian.

RenHoek said:

Good! Sadly, they're a necessity. You might want to see if you can get ones with bigger, more descriptive instructions. Some ladies seem to need that.
[Edited 4/23/10 11:10am]

Talking about eyebrows. I get irked by bad eyebrows...period. Out of control, or over plucked, or that horrible Clown Samuel look.

Ugh. Gross.

I have no patients with rudeness of our elderly or anyone else.
a) Men who keep hats, caps own in doors.
b) Not getting up when women enter a room or you're being introduced to someone, it's ignorant.
c) Sista's who come to work with attitudes, the whole world has problems, suck it up and keep your drama at home.

Litterbugs, dummies can't keep a little bag in their car or find a garbage can.

People who don't make a complete stop at stop signs.

Parents/mother's who are enablers of their children, especially boy's. Fool has a rap sheet from Chicago to Singapore; she'll look you right in the eye and tell you what her "boy" wouldn't do.

Selfish/Greedy people: Come to your home and eat like a pig at the trough, but when you go to their home: 1) they serve one plate of food. 2) the serving is so light, you could throw the plate across a room like a Frisbee and not a morsel would leave the plate.

our walmart doesnt have self check outs I guess what i meant it if it was me and i had a full shopping cart of stuff and the person behind me has two things i would be polite enough to know they have been standing there a long time and tell them to go if front of me because two item they will be in and out .. I just guess i wish sometimes others were more curtious like i try to be...

insatiable3 said:

I've always thought this was "kinda" one of those unwritten rules of politeness?

As my mom says more and more we live in a society where people act like races horses who wear blinders: can't see to the left nor right, they look straight ahead, it's all about me.

you couldnt have said that better! I so agree with you! I wasnt trying to sound stuck up when i wrote it in my initial post so i hope others didnt take it that way (i dont feel like people owe me anything its just I was raised to observe and be polite...

jone70 said:

I actually don't mind when people ask me directions on the subway. I enjoy being helpful.

sextonseven said:

Excuse me, sir. Can utell me how to get to bleecker st from the 3 train?

insatiable3 said:

I agree, too.

If I have a ton of stuff at the store and someone walks up behind me with just a couple items, I always let them go ahead. It's just the considerate thing to do.

Likewise, if I'm someplace with counter service and don't know what I want, I let people go ahead of me 'til I figure it out. No sense holding everyone else up because I'm being a flake.

DanceWme said:

Take the 3 to Fulton St. in Manhattan then transfer to the 4 or 5 uptown one stop to Brooklyn Bridge, switch to the 6 local and get off at Bway/Lafayette. Bleecker St is right around there. I love giving directions when I know the answer.

Edit: I just realized the Bway/Lafayette stop is actually Bleecker St on the 6 line uptown. My directions = Fail.
[Edited 4/23/10 13:54pm]

people that spit all the damn time on the sidewalk, the grass, the street, damn near anywhere. FUCKING GROSS!

people that cough and don't cover their mouths. FUCKING GROSS!


people that pick their noses in public then wipe it on their shirts/coats. FUCKING GROSS!


people that cuss at their kids. FUCKING LOW CLASS IDIOTS!


people that apparently fall asleep at the green light. MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY!

sextonseven said:

I wonder how many people u have given the wrong directions to

DanceWme said:

No one ever asks me directions anyway. They must know I'm gonna send them the wrong way.

1.At the supermarket, people behind you with scores of unsettled kids and who run around and torment everyone else, while the parents don't care (Especially migrants families I notice.
2. Parents on the edge who threaten to beat or actually beat their kids in a store.
3. People who barge ahead in queues at the post office (Again mostly recent immigrants, who know nothing about line etiquette).
4. In traffic when you are waiting at the red light and theres a car thats blasting some shit hop with mega bass.
5. Cars ahead of you that throw rubbish out the windows while your driving ( I had a group of Island people throw a whole box of KFC bones out of their moving bongo wagon in front of me). Another time a nearly bottle of water came out of a 4WD driven by a rich white family and nearly hit my windscreen, the Islanders at least aimed at some bushes.
6. People who let every single car in, when theres a huge queue of traffic ahead of you and then change lanes at the last minute in front of the light signal changing.
7. People who block you, when your trying to get on the motorway.
8. Traffic being held up by someone in a manual trnsmission early 1980s car that can only go 40kmh in a 50 zone.
9. Traffic lights that short phase, by giving minor and quiet directions a long phase but the super busy one a really short phase.
10. People who stand too close to you in queues (Closer than a metre is my body space chum)
11. Groups of people who block the footpath or a busy throughfare in a mall and start jabbering some foreign language oblivious to anyone else.
