Madame deVenoge Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Omg, if I see ONE MORE person sitting next to me in a bar on a FaceTime conversation I will freaking snap. WHY is it that people think that speaker phone or FaceTime is appropriate in a public setting?? What is the thing that most grinds your gears?

Phylum of Alexandria Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Maybe this belongs on the "getting older" thread, but I hate how flaky people have become. If you make plans to meet with someone, take it seriously! Don't back out unless it's actually a freak emergency, and don't be late! That "Sorry nvm" attitude ain't exactly the best recipe for a good relationship. Madame deVenoge, Poobah and BigFatCoward 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had severe astigmatism and severely nearsighted, only diagnosed at age 6, so I have very little concept of spatial relationships because I lack depth perception to the degree that normal people have.

Popular Post maarsen Posted May 26 Popular Post Share Posted May 26 I have a special hate for people who abuse the help. Servers in restaurants, cleaners in buildings, anybody in a low power position with low pay interacting with the public. I can't raise their pay but I can be nice to them and so can you.

It is a HUGE red flag to me when people are rude to those in service jobs. My father always sat with the janitors at the office holiday parties - “this place couldn’t run without them” as he said. And I must confess that the one time I was rude to a receptionist when I was 11 years old, I got the ear pull and hissed threats from my mother about how I was never to behave in that fashion ever again, because only people who had no class are rude to anyone.

Nas!

sologdin Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 while leasing a new electric suburban assault vehicle the other day, we were advised that manual transmission is impossible with such designs, and thus the old standard has fallen into obsolescence. of course we never authorized this consignment to perdition of the only way to operate a motor vehicle and have filed futile grievance. the lack of gears to grind accordingly grinds my gears.

I'd say this is more than just a "grinds my gears" thing. I've found you can tell a lot about a person's character in general by how they treat members of the service industry.

BigFatCoward Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) I hate everything and everyone, but I'm trying so very hard to be better.

And things were going so well You know me, I'll work hard for someone I like. I mean, the woman I'm still crushing on mainly likes to watch trashy reality TV shows, which I have zero interest in. But I would at least try if it made her happy (meanwhile she has no interest in watching AFI Top 100 movies with me, sigh). 48 minutes ago, maarsen said: I have a special hate for people who abuse the help.

Lol, I'm the same and boy do I have a funny story to tell. My Great Uncle Jerry was a super wealthy prick, and he had fun abusing the waiting staff, something I never understood. The first time I brought my ex-finance to meet the Cali family he tools us to a very fancy country club for lunch. He fought with the waiter, he demanded the chef come talk to him after he didn't like the special sauce he made for him, he complained about everything in a rather large, packed ballroom setting. He also left a big tip in a place you're not suppose to tip at. My GF was mortified. I just shrugged and said that's Jerry, I warned you this would happen. Thankfully auntie let me take her out in the drop top BMW later on to show her the town. Jace, Extat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about these people, I find, is that if you adjust your own volume to be heard over their conversation, they look at you as if you are the one being rude.
