I was on the bus today with a friend, and watched a young man in his 20s seated in the priority seating area not offer his seat to an elderly lady carrying a whole bunch of stuff, and several stops later, did the same thing to a very pregnant woman who also had several large bags.
When the bus started moving, the pregnant lady started looking around for a seat for a little bit, (all the rest of the priority seats were taken by seniors) until finally, the elderly woman from before (who eventually got a seat) got up and offered her seat to the pregnant lady, who declined.
After my friend and I got off the bus, we started talking about how it was even possible that dude didn't realize that everyone on the bus was giving him the look of contempt. This eventually led to us talking about the things currently in society that we just could not stand.
My list in no particular order:
- Manners in a general sense. It seems as if most of the people below the age of 25 these days have no manners whatsoever. Some examples:
- People who don't even make an attempt to try to hold the door open for the next person
- People who accidentally bump into you yet say nothing
- People on the bus that don't offer their seats to the elderly/pregnant/disabled etc.
- People that speak far to loudly on their cellphones in public
- People that play music from their phones through the loudspeaker in public
- People that cut in line or speak to someone your already speaking to
For some more general "stuff I can't stand"
- Someone beside me in a confined area that reeks of cigarettes
- The entire "popped-collar-polo-shirt-3-sizes-too-small-tight-jeans-look" which also usually includes a fauhawk, aviators clipped onto the shirt, and Puma "driving" shoes (usually a Ferrari logo is on there somewhere)
- Posers: these come in a lot of flavors
- People who think the world revolves around them
- Bus drivers that drive away from a stop even though they can clearly see someone with several bags of groceries running for the bus
- People in authoritative positions going on power trips (http://forums.finalgear.com/politic...police-harassment-with-parking-tickets-34144/)
- People that litter
- Getting an itch on the arch of your foot, but you're in a public place so you can take your shoe off and scratch it
- People that seriously lack the basic driving skills that are on the road
- People that drive like maniacs with their hair on fire (Do you really have to overtake everybody on the road?)
- Overpriced cafeteria food
- When the person in front of me in the stir-fry line at the cafeteria gets a portion that's at least 50% bigger than what I got
- Females in yoga (lululemon) pants that seriously do not belong in said pants
- Those group members that you got for that group project, that you just know are not going to contribute anything to the actual project, and expect you to do all the work
- People, that when they start talking, just want to make you facepalm
- Being transferred from department to department for an hour and a half when you want to cancel your cellphone plan over the phone
- Kids that are spoiled rotten
- Parents that let their kids push them around with no discipline whatsoever. Case in point: I was at a dinner party with my parents at their friend's place, and the daughter of two of the other guests told the hostess (to her face) that her food sucked and to make something else for her to eat. If I were her parents, I would've smacked her silly.
- Parents to continue to feed their massively obese children junk food (you see this so much, and it's so sad)
I could probably think of a lot more, but that's for another time. Use this thread to post and rant about random shit that you just can't stand!
