Hormonal Vent! Posted: 06-15-07 15:42pm
Stupid people!!! I can't stand them. I was
driving and this lady didn't see me and
almost side swipped me. She then proceeded
to flip me off. What the in the heck? Why
are you flipping me off when you almost
killed me and my children! I seriously
don't get it. She was around 55 years
old,too.
This week I have been around so many
stupid people I am ready to explode. I was
standing in line at two different places:
an office store and a food place. Both
times, I was acknowledge by the people
working there with a "I will be with you
in a moment." A moment ended up being
around 3 to 5 minutes, where it should
only take at the most two minutes. Then
when someone else stood in line those
people proceeded to ask, "Hi, can I help
you?" Both times, the person who just got
there said, "She was waiting a long time
before me!' Both of the people who were
also waiting proceeded to give me this
look like, "What the heck?" Also, being
invisible does have it's pluses. I went to
the gas station the other day to buy a few
items. The guy forgot to charge me $,
about $10. I forgot and walked out. I
discovered I didn't pay a few minutes
later and went back. The same thing
happened today at the fair. I bought about
$8 worth of food. The lady just handed me
the food and went onto the next person. I
was too hungry to notice until about 15
minutes later. yes, I did go back and buy
the food.
Oh....what is it with people in this area
(sorry, Heather), cutting in line! You
can be standing in a food line, gas line,
grocery line...doesn't matter and people
will literally see you standing in line
and cut. The cut doesn't just happen t me
but other people as well. The other people
who got cut really don't see to care. It's
like people here are either overly
aggressive or very passive. The cashiers
usually end up helping the cutters and
it's obvious they cutted. I usually say
something and sometimes the person claims
ignorance and gets back in line. All of
this has happened this week!! I have lived
in many states but this place just seems
to be worse...could be the hormones
talking.
So, there you have it! People lately seem
to be stupid or just plain rude. Is this a
hormonal thing???? Wouldn't some of you be
pretty ticked off?? If it was just one of
those things mentioned above, i would be
fine. Putting all o them
together..goodness!
I said, "Stupid Stupid person" at that one
lady who cut me off and then nathan then
asked if that lady was stupid. I could
have said a lot worse things but I guess
that was bad enough. He then asked if
Daddy was stupid. I am so bad! It is
getting to the point, I need to get my
tongue snipped because even one little
slip of the tongue, Nate decides to copy
me!!!

I hear you on the lining up thing. People
don't seem to know how to do it anymore.
I usually say something though because i
have a big mouth. I don't get mad I just
point it out plain and simple "excuse me I
was here first". well, sometimes if a guy
cuts in front of me i say "ladies first"
and they either ignore me or look
embarrassed. i don't know what else you
can do about rude people except teach them
how not to be rude and they either will
keep doing it or stop. don't even get me
started on the whole road rage thing, i'm
just glad i hardly ever have to drive
because people frighten me with how little
regard they have for the safety of other
people on the road. i don't think it's
hormones i think it's just that there are
a lot people out there with very poor
manners. and yeah kids hear everything
you say don't they? i totally have to
work on that because i say some pretty
choice words especially if i hurt myself.

wow, i can't believe people just cut
infront of you, what the heck? im sorry
you've been having to deal with stupid
people lately!!! sometimes i feel like
people think that when they come through
my line at kmart because i get nervous and
end up feeling really stupid when they
leave for something i've said or done
but
i wouldn't wait on a person that cut
first!!!!!

We get that here too, though not very
often. It is most common in the summer
when the tourists are here. Massachusetts
drivers are the worst!! Sorry to anyone
who is from there!
I would so not tolerate being cut in front
of. I am very vocal and .I would walk
right up, re cut in front of that person
and say, "there now we're even. I may
even be even more evil and wait until they
are almost to the front of the line to do
it. Its funny that you mention it. My
daughter works at McDonalds and had it
happen just yesterday. She decided to
wait on the lady that was cut in front of,
saying, "excuse me maam, .I think .I saw
you here first", and they cutter had a
mini meltdown called her a little B*tch
and made her cry. He's
lucky .I wasn't there.
People are jerks plain and simple.
Someone should slap them.

oh cindy i agree, i don't think you've
experienced bad drivers to the fullest
unless you drive through ma. my mom and i
had never been to boston before and we had
to drive through it with a rental car when
we went to maine last summer, people are
stupid!!!!
they're right on your @$$ the whole entire
time, honkin away. and then we went down
this street, cars lined up the whole way,
and someone just starts backing out of a
driveway right into traffic!!! and the
little kids there stand in the middle of
the street and expect you not to hit them
lol it was really crazy and we ended up
getting lost for an extra hour because my
mom wasn't sure about the turn (which was
right) and hesitated and someone got right
on her butt and honked so she went a
different way lol sooo yeah ew. i never
want to do that again.

These filters crack me up..."little gal"
Ha ha! Mommy35: Your daughter gets kuddos
from me! Good for her!! So, did the cutter
make your daughter cry?? I am not too
wimpy in that sometimes I would say
something to the cashier such as "I think
I was here first."
I have heard that MA was like that! Some
places on or near the East coast, you
don't even have time to put your foot on
the gas before someone is honking away. If
any of you are from the East coast, are
you like that? Is it cultural? I have
always wondered that. I did live on the
East coast for three years but hardly
drove. The DC transportation subway system
was the best!

i don't think it's an east coast thing, i
think it really is a mass thing. we don't
call them massholes for nothing! you have
to be an aggressive driver in and around
boston, then they come up here to vacation
and they continue to drive like jerks.
as for rude people, the biggest problem in
my area are the tourists from a certain
canadian province. i know not everyone
from there is like that and i don't mean
to offend anyone!

Long .Island and NYC drivers are the
worst! People are constantly getting in
accidents on the .L.I.E (Long Island
Expressway) because they're aggressive,
stupid drivers. Sometimes, people will get
in an accident because they're busy
looking at an accident that has just taken
place!

yup here too!! I was going to say that,
but also didn't want to offend.
And...actually the last time .I was in
.New .Hampshire a native backed right into
my car in an .Irving parking lot. She
said, "my kids were yelling, .I didn't
even see you". I was not happy. "Drive
fast or die" should be their motto. lol
I drive fast, but .I don't cut people off
and .I don't ride on peoples butts, unless
of course .I'm in .Mass
but
i wouldn't wait on a person that cut
first!!!!!
He's
lucky .I wasn't there.
