are people rude or stupid? Rant #1,234,542

[blackcar]

I was riding with my boss the other day. We made a left at a light and went about 50 yards and needed to make a left in to a parking lot. The cars were backed up from the red light. So he stopped turned his blinker on and waited for traffic to clear. Well one of the drivers noticed and backed up to let him through but there wasn't enough room. If the driver in front of the car that backed up would have pulled forward about a foot, he could have made his turn. But she was staring straight ahead oblivious to what was going on around her. The sad part is that is not only how she drives but how she lives her life.

I love to take my son with me to the store. That way I can make comments like "well, when she moves outta the way we can get by." or "when you get big enough to do your own shopping make sure you are not that rude", etc. Of course loud enough the offending party came hear me.

LOL ...

heres some observations of my own....

People that make right turns off main roads or minor highways from the CENTER of the lane, inotherwords instead of starting to hug the side of the road a lil prior to the turn they slow down drastically right in the middle of the lane just before the turn so i have to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident. No I'm not tailgating, im going the speed of traffic. To top it off they signal only as they choose to make the turn.

Women with kids and you hold doors open for them at stores and they either give you a dirty ass look or dont even acknowledge you are there, like its expected I hold the door. I'm not a paid doorman bitch. Maybe this is the town i live in. Dunno

People with 3 or 4 kids that just create general congestion in a store. I understand you got a big family but at least make an attempt to let people conduct their business. No i'm not in a rush, but i like to move at MY pace and my schedule and agenda not theirs.

The black woman at a register who's phone conversation superceeds any of her job responsibilities.

Teenagers that get paid their allowance in coins and have to count them out AS they pay for their food at a fast food or convenience store while theres a line.

Nearly any store where I have to order something and repeat it more then 2 times because the person i'm talking to speaks terrible english. this is rude because i view it like its a slap in the face to this country. I dont go over to another country where english isnt the primary language and insist they learn english. You either speak their language or starve.

Women on cellphones in suburbans in parking lots! It drives me crazy when they have to make a 500 pt turn out of a parking spot because they drive a vehicle that is way more then they can handle and they have to use one arm because the other is holding a phone.

Here in Chicago (like anywhere)...using a turn signal telegraphs your next move, but drivers here don't care if you need to get over so what do they normally do...speed up or maintain speed so you can't make that move. As we all know that this is rude, but when you get a second chance to get in that same spot (this time w/no signal) now suddenly YOU are the asshole....wtf!!

Had this happen this morning on the way to work:

I'm coming upon a red light and, being 5th back, don't notice that the big truck in front is broken down. We're stopped and I signal to merge to the right. 4 SUV's just have to get past me before a pick up is nice enough to let me over. I merge to the right.

Past the signal I attempt to over take a couple of the SUV's (now I'm pissed off at their lack of road courtesy). I am coming upon a pick up with a trailer in my lane (right) when the lead SUV decides she just has to speed up enough to prevent me from passing. I say "OK, pass and I'll follow". She passes I merge into the left lane and she slows down to 10 under the speed limit. I merge back into the right lane and speed up to get in front (the pu/trailer is now at least 3 lengths ahead of her position) of her and she speeds up also in an attempt to prevent me from passing her. I merge in front of her and she lays on the horn. At the next light she's berating me for cutting her off. WTF? Lead, follow or get the fuck out of the way!

[blackcar]

. . . And driving in the passing lane. *Ludacris* "Move bitch get out da way"

Ignorant ain't it?

[00LS12LS6Z28]

I thought this shit only happened in ignoarant ass Northern Virginia. I have to add our driving here is outrageous. People drive in the far left lane here even if no one else is on the road. The damn left lane is for passing. I always say if someone passes you on the right, you need to move your ass over (or get off the street). Especially if no one is in front of you for miles and you have a row of cars tailgating you. I go to the midwest like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin and people move over in those states. It seems like the DMV's here just hand out licenses.....I understand people sometimes want to just cruise, which is what the empty ass right lane is for! I end up looking like a crazy driver who uses all lanes to get around people. keep in my mind I am only going 5-10 mph over the limit.

Yes the hold the doors open thing happens here. It's like I have a food lion name tag on my shirt or I am wearing a vest asking for her keys. We have too many conceited people here and the only celebs we have here are the Washington Redskins....

Yesterday I was going 5 over. I was coming up on a car in the right hand lane(like it should be). I checked my mirrors and there was a car in the left lane a ways behind me, by its self. I move to the left lane and pass the car in front. When I get past him and start moving back to the right hand lane he moves to the left. So now the car I passed and the one that was behind me are driving together in the left lane. Why do people like to ride in the left lane?

[KahanaReef]

I went to get gas the other week. I pull in and all pumps were taken. So, I see this guy walking out to his car. I pull up so I can pull in when he pulls out.

I'm waiting.... waiting.... people are pulling in behind me and I'm waiting...

People are honking their horns.

I get out of my car, walk up and tap on his window and the idiot is sitting there reading a map!

I actually had to tell him to move his car and park in one of the parking spaces in front of the station if he wanted to read!

Stupid and Rude!

[SiggyZ]

I was driving down a narrow road once, through some wooded area (just a few miles or so north of Broken Bow) and came upon this bigfoot. It was just plopped down in the middle of the road and wouldn't move. I honked and honked and it just wouldn't move one bit. After several minutes of intense frustration, I remembered I had a pack of Slim Jims in the glove box. I got one and tossed it out the window, to the side of the road. Thankfully, the bigfoot noticed this and got up to retrieve the tasty snack and then proceeded to wander off into the woods.

That was terribly rude!

Like I said before "oblivious to what was going on around them". There are a lot of people like that in this town.

I think it is a trend.....

[ls1blackbeauty98]

I vote for stupidity. My pet peave is when I go grocery shopping or to Target, and there are these women standing in the middle of the aisle blocking all traffic going by just totally oblivious talking on their cell phones like its the end of the world if they put it down for 5 seconds and focus on the task at hand.

They drive how they operate a shopping cart. Ever notice how 90% of the time its a WOMAN on the phone while she's driving fucking up traffic or almost causing an accident? Philly yells at them everytime and they get offended when you tell them to get off the fuckin phone!

People are just stupid and incompetant! I mean really .. if my dad's asian wife can get her drivers license .. there is a SERIOUS problem because she is the WORST fuckin driver I have EVER seen! If i told you some of the things she did you wouldn't believe me!!!

those women in the grocery store anoy the hell outta me, whats worse is the women at the gym, the aerobics class is ready to start, and the ones from the class before are standing in the middle of the floor having a conversation completely oblivious to the fact that another aerobics class is starting after theirs..... i almost killed a bitch yesterday for that shit lol...

rudeness, and inconciderate attitudes are so common these days its sickening!

thats like the people at the car wash, there is a line 3 people deep and instead of pulling the car out to dry it... they dry the car in the wash bay... gotta love it...

almost killed someone for that kinda shit too people drive me nuts!

I'm telling ya! If it weren't for the fact that assault charges usually end up with jail time... we'd be kicking a lot of ass!

Ha! Then we wouldn't need no sticking aerobics class

That was you???!!
I came out to see you but was having problems with the directions

Wondered who that mean bitch was.

Actually same thing for me but she was trying to find her cell phone in her purse. Had finally emptied the purse on the seat.

Ha ha... this guy was maybe in his late 40's early 50's and actually had the nerve to act like I was inconveniencing him by asking him to pull into a parking space!

Sounds to me like he was just being an asshat.
