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.

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. Evil or Very Mad 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! Rolling Eyes

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
