Lack Of Common Sense

Recommended Posts

wow.

 

Me and AOO both drive Silverados. Wow.

 

Mine's Blue...what about yours?

A Silverado backed into my future in-laws' car I was driving while at a gas station in August because they were too fucking lazy to wait in line at a gas pump. Front end needed replaced.

 

Can I be in your club?...

I work in a petrol station and there's two types of customers I hate

 

1) the kind who get to the front of the queue, tell you which pump they were at, then go "oh, I need some milk"and calmly walk off to the other side of the store, leaving a big queue of customers

 

2) the kind who can't understand simple signs. We have a car wash and the option basically read

 

WASH ONE: CARWASH-DRY-WAX

WASH TWO: CARWASH-DRY

WASH THREE: CARWASH

 

Pretty straightforward, no? But I still get idiots asking me what Car Wash Two does etc. The worst example was a woman who said "Wash Two..wash and dry...what does that do?" I had to restrain myself from sarcastically replying "well, it washes it...then dries it". Fucking morons

Well an idiot is born every minute, so I'm guessing the customer was one. And people wonder why Gas Station attendants go psychotic.

I'm that way with Mountain Dew. Diet Mountain Dew is infinitely better.

I totally agree.

 

 

Okay I got two things on my mind.

 

One, a kid in my class, hes fucking stupid as shit and is ALWAYs hyper and off task. He is failing all his classes and he pisses me off. He needs fucking medication but OBVIOUSLY isnt getting it, and hes a fuckface.

 

Two, the change on the bill thing, happens to me ALL the time, and pisses the fuck outta me.

Blood Red, baby.

 

As far as old folks and people in wheelchairs and what have you, I'm pretty good at swerving. I don't AIM for people, or buzz them on purpose or anything, but I've scared the fuck out of more than one person in my life.

 

Besides, if I don't see 'em, I don't see 'em. Hitting someone at 45 and hitting someone at 35 is still hitting someone with a truck.

 

We don't have moose or grizzly in Indiana, but splattering opossums like nocturnal walking ketchup packets is sort of a pasttime around here. Biggest thing we've got to deal with are deer, stray farm animals, and the amish.

Sure can. They're really pretty reasonable, as far as full-size trucks go.

Dude, you're preching to the choir.

 

Regarding point 1:

 

I also love it when people, after they make the purchase, freaking stand there for 5 minutes re-arranging their purse while a line grows behind them. I just say "can I help you?" to the next customer in line and let him/her shove that person out of the way.

 

Regarding point 2:

 

When I worked at a gas station that had a car wash (never worked half the time) I got this call one time from this woman. Here's how it went.

 

kkk: *name of gas station* Hello.

Dumb bitch: Do you have a car wash there?

kkk: yes we do.

DB: is it brushless.

kkk: no.

DB: so it has those harmful brushes that can scratch your car.

kkk: yes.

DB: should I get my car washed there?

kkk: well, it's kind of like smoking cigarettes -- doing it once in a while won't kill you, but if it's constantly done over a period of time then it will be harmful

DB: *click*

 

I hate people...

I also hate it when people won't SHUT THE FUCK UP in the cinema. Sure, this is cliched, but it just PISSES ME OFF (I might as well put Caps Lock on). I FUCKING PAID TO SEE THE FILM (or Pay-Per-View, as it sometimes was), NOT TO HEAR FUCKING INCONSIDERATE RETARDED JACKASSES TALK!

 

ARGH! I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I JUST WANT TO JUMP OVER THE SITE AND KILL THEM!

 

:firing: :boxing: :gas: :firing: :boxing: :gas: :firing: :boxing: :gas: :firing:

 

Something else that pisses me off, although evidently not as much, is folks in the cinema that say "Wow, did you just see that?"

 

"No, I paid $13.00 to come in here and stare at the ceiling, asshole."

 

Sure, I could have been looking away for a split second, but them asking that pisses me off more than missing it.

Few things.

 

I used to work at Skippers, where they have a All You Can Eat. I'd see people who were pushing 5 bills come in and get the AYCE, reload a few times and add a diet coke. Now I'm a fat guy who drinks diet too, 'cause I like the taste- but when somebody's so far that they don't fit through the door right- the whole thing is just too amusing.

 

I hate customers who are too busy bitching about the problem to stop and listen to me say "OK, I've fixed it.". Or people who when told "no" or "we don't have that information yet" will contiue to try and rephrase the question to get a different answer.

 

Yesterday was awful. It's the Friday before spring break- so most of our students are out of town. The only ones calling are the lunatic fringe who were asking the most idiotic question. One woman asked me if I was near a computer. The hell!? What office at a major university doens't have a computer in it in 2004? I'm guessing you call any number in the yellow pages and there's a 80% chance that the person on the other end has a computer in front of them.

 

People should die.

Okay then, small animals present no problem whatsoever. Just keep it in mind if you are ever driving up in Canada.

-iB- is getting on my nerves right about now actually

 

other than that,

 

motherfuckers who think they have free reign to hop behind my drum kit or pick up my guitar just because I don't happen to be on them at the time. I don't toss it into your skanky girlfriend just because you're taking a 5 minute break from the STD grab bag, don't pick up and re tune my fucking guitar.

Mine is a 1996...and I was thinking of buying a new one but the prices for everything else seemed too high...so i kept it and i expect to punch in a couple more years on it.

At work, when I'm standing behind the register with my vest on, and people come up to me and say "Do you work here?"

 

:lol:

 

When someone gives you change after you buy something, and they put the coins on top of the bills so that the coins fall off.

 

^ Another pet peeve of mine

 

I hate hate HATE it when I go up to X fast food place and I tell them exactly what I would like to eat and drink. And then a few seconds she asks, "What did you want again?" That pisses me off so much, I'm surprised I didn't bitch at her through the loud speaker. :angry:

In defense of this, perhaps their headseat poo-poo'd on the drive thru person, or maybe a customer in front of their window is talking to them. I'm a reasonable person.

 

What I'm not so reasonable about is when you order Super Size (RIP) fries and you get a little amount of them. Or, worse yet, you order a double quarter-pounder with cheese and, despite it being in a double quarter-pounder box there's only one beef patty between the bun...

Idiots who think it's still cool to blast a boom box when they walk down the street. Last night about 9:30pm I'm going into my house and this black kid, looked in his early teens, comes walking down the street blasting some rap/hip hop likes it's 1988.

 

The couple next door have a 3 y/o and a newborn. So I said "Hey, turn that shit down." He stops and looks at me and says "fuck you" and turns the thing up even louder and keeps walking. I was pissed..... but at the same time it was kind of funny the way he did it.

 

Plus, I didn't fuck around too much because I knew he'd go around the corner and bring back his 15 uncles, cousins and brothers.

Fuck you too. What's the point of carrying a boom box and blasting it while you walk down the street when you can buy a walk-man and put on a set of head phones?

 

Assholes just want to draw attention to themselves.

Because it's louder, the sound quality is better, and chances are, he has other people that enjoy that kind of music around him frequently. Plus, it's more stylish than looking like a power-walker. Just because a child is nearby that may or may not be sleeping is not an acceptable reason to bitch at someone's stereo. I would've done the same thing he did, if I were carrying a hypothetical boom box by your house and you tried to tell me what to do.

He was by himself looking for some attention. Plus, the quality was crap. Sounded like bootleg tape.

That's a problem with pop culture today. "I do this because it's stylish."

Yes it is. It's inconsiderate and ignorant. Plus, there are things called "Noise Ordinance" and "disturbing the peace."

Still, that doesn't show a lack of common sense. What does however, is bitching about someone's music when it isn't even YOUR kid that might possibly be "disturbed" by a passing scofflaw with a stereo.

Hey, the clothes make the man.

 

As for the age comment, I don't see exactly why that's relevant, but I assure you I'm an adult who is able to adjust my own volume without the kind suggestions of someone who I won't be around for more than three seconds. Your request was completely unreasonable, and you should feel bad about saying it. How old are YOU? Too old to deal with 10 seconds of loud rap music?

I'm 28 and no I don't want to deal with 10 seconds of loud rap music. I didn't when I was 14, either. So maybe that does have something to do with it but I certainly don't feel bad about it.

 

Plus, if you were an adult walking down the street with a big boom box I'd have to laugh at the silliness of it.

Probably because you're a racist, or a borderline one.

I hate it when people walk through the mall with a three foot tall mohawk, chains dripping out of every nook and cranny, with a neck tie... and then give you a 'what the fuck are you looking at' attitude when you stop and take a moment to soak it all in. Shit kids, your mission was accomplished, don't get pissed off because I'm trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.

In a similar vein to Goodear's...

 

Girls who make it a point to dress all sexy-like, then get upset when men look at their chests. I've been called a pig before for looking at a girl's rack, when it was obvious she chose close to make her breasts quite prominent. Don't blame me because you got the attention you were seeking. Actual conversation:

 

Her: You pig, you were staring at my chest.

Me: Well, when you wear a bra that pushes your boobs up to your chin, and a shirt unbuttoned to your navel, it's clear that's where you want me to look.

Her: Pig!

Me: Oink, oink! Nice rack, by the way.
