The rudeness of people

What were some rude things people said or did to you? I remember once this guy who farted loudly several times in quick succession and then apologised to those present in the room by saying: oh had some coke that's where the gases came from, don't worry they are not the smelly meaty ones.

That was disgusting

I cant stand it when im in a clothes shop and going through a rail when someone else starts either twirling it or starts going through the same one as me.

Actually im a bit of a female Victor Meldrew, so dont get me started.

I was sat on a bus in SF once. I was sat in a window seat when a big fat bloke got on and sat next to me. We'd only been going along a short while when he leaned out into the isle, lifted the butt cheek nearest me off the seat and farted. He then looked at me to check i hadn't died and then got off at the next stop.

There's a woman at my job who is a poser. Example - she claims she has a disability (ADA), but is seems to wax and wan depending on what is happening. She limps about the office but when an e-mail comes out that there is cake in the big kitchen (all the way on the other side of the office from her office) me along with other people people have actually seen her RUN (and I mean full out run) all the while saying "if I don't get there early it will be gone". So one day I see this chick walking to the bus which will take her to the train to take her home. She walks up to the front of the line and holds her cane up to hold the first person in line back and says to them "I am handicapped and under ADA you have to let me go first" then she walks over to whomever is sitting in the first seat and says "you have to move because I have a handicap". I think most people are just too shocked to say anything. This woman was also known to make her secretary who was 9 months preggers to haul around heavy boxes for her because the poser could not lift things because she had a bum leg. The women in our office found out about it raised holy hell and that stopped and quick.

Next birthday, email everyone to say "cakes are in the big kitchen" and leave a pile of these shirts in there...

I think it's really rude when I'm talking on the phone and other people start shouting and making noise. They're all like "Shut up, we're trying to watch the movie" and "Turn your phone off in the restaurant, a$$hole" or "For heaven's sake, this is a funeral". Unbelievably rude!

Hehehehe...that was funny, greendawn. Lovely, descriptive disclaimer that fella used...eeeewww!

I couldn't think of a rude episode, but then I remembered a local JW who comes into the store quite often. He doesn't have a single iota of tact in his whole body. Our cashier, M, who is a funny, very friendly woman, has a rather large mole on her chin. One day she is chatting happily with Brother Dopey as she rings up his sale and suddenly he blurts out, "Why don't you get that thing cut off!" Poor M flushes with mortification, goes silent (very unusual for her) and quickly moves on to the next person in line. Later, he comes back and asks if he embarrassed her in a loud, joking kind of way. She tore him a new one, which he richly deserved. Such a stupidly rude man.

Love the sign Ballistic. Now if only she could read, I think it would work!

I don't know if U.S. readers will relate to this as things may be different there, but here in the UK, car spaces tend to be small to match our small cars and super markets designate areas for disabled drivers. But just recently there is a craze in setting aside rows for cars with children and babies and other specialist groups. Sometimes it takes a while when you go into a car park to work out which category you fit into. I think next they should bring in a section for dope heads near to the entrance.

Anyhow, I used to be a truck driver before I got into IT, and one day I pulled a truck (a large sized van) into a "mother's and babies" type space. Now there were about 50 free spaces in the "mother's and babies" parking and a few here and there in the rest of the car park in which my van would not fit.

And this mother bent down to her baby and says, "he's a very very naughty man isn't he parking there!"

So I walked up to her and handed her my bunch of keys and said, "if you can park a vehicle that big in any other space you're welcome to your opinion"

She gave me the keys back.
