Annoying Social Habits of people you've met

^ Quality post. I never that some sick people are complete asses to the people that are trying to help them get healthy. Not surprised, though.

Good point with the last paragraph, too 👍.

-People who can't mind their own business and feel the need to call the police.
Had my 4th experience tonight in 2 months that's making me retire from taking photos outside events.

5. Mean sick people. I'm your nurse, not a slave, not someone for you to yell at or mistreat. I realize it probably isn't personal. However, being sick doesn't give you carte blanche to be an ass. Take a cue from most end stage cancer patients and treat people nicely.

I know for a fact that my wife agrees with this, but it's not even sick people that are annoying when they act like asses. She had a rookie Police Officer in her (yes, HER) ER acting like he owned the place, bossing her around. His partner called him over and said "You better be nice to her, because one day she's going to have to save your ass." He hasn't been mean to her since.

11. People, primarily women, that make it a point to tell me my clothes (usually scrubs) don't match. Last I looked you weren't feeding me regularly, or providing me with sex. Till my wife gives you permission to do BOTH of those things, don't presume to tell me how to dress. She provides me with food and sex, SHE can tell me how to dress.

I put my wife's scrub sets on the same hanger to avoid the "Oh, crap! I'm late! Where are the pants that go with this top?" problem. Of course, her running around with no pants on ain't bad, either.

Excellent list, Gil 👍. My grandfather was a complete ass to everyone who tried to care for him in the hospital, and they actually kicked him out twice because of it. Also, having worked in customer service myself, in general, it is not a good idea to piss off the people who can help you.

Quite true. Some people have nothing better to do than to call the cops on a party at 9 PM, simply because the noise bothers their cats.

Edit: I see your post in the "pics of your own car thread". I had a similar problem last summer when I first moved down here. I live on top of a pretty high hill, so the scenery is quite nice. I wandered into an unfinished housing development to get some pictures from the ridge, and within 5 minutes, a security guard showed up and told me to get lost. Around these parts, stealing copper wire from unfinished houses is common (hence the need for security guards), but I'm not sure why a nerdy kid with a camera (in broad daylight) is cause for concern.

Because nerdy kids stupid enough to steal copper are stupid enough to do it in broad daylight. The camera is for taking pictures of their next mark because they can only carry so much at one time.

Duh.

People who ****ing call psychologists on me because I don't smile much when I'm by myself and usually wear black.

Psychologists who say that I look like I have violent tendencies and am angry because I don't smile much when I'm by myself and usually wear black.

5. Soccer moms driving an SUV/monstrous pickup during rush hour, sipping their mochaccino late from Starbucks while talking on their bluetooth headset and holding up traffic because they have no freaking clue what's going on around them.


9. Almost running me over and not even realizing it while you're talking on your freaking cell phone.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
I have to agree with most especially #5 and #9.

I'd think the person that is constantly smiling while by themselves would be more crazy then someone who has a neutral expression when sitting alone.

*I'm not real sure how I can explain it in a general statement. But whenever I plug in the speakers and play and older rock song, I can always count on my step dad poking his head around the corner saying he has the album. He then proceeds to dig through his albums to show me....Here, have a cookie.

Yeah but when I don't smile people say I look angry.

10. People that get into my car and immediately start messing with my radio. You put your CD in the player with out asking me if I want to listen to it. It may get "frisbee'd" out the driver's side window!

O man. #'s 10 and 11 are great and true. 👍👍

Hey mines, What is LAN airlines? And yes most spanish kids(including myself) are disciplined to hell and back. It's only at like 17 or 18 when you start pushing your independence.

Now for something I hate. When people (mostly white) think that Puerto Ricans are all dumb and slobs and dont go to colledge and stuff. Get it straight, the percentage of HS grads that go to colledge in PR is about 87%. It in fact is so much most kids think of colledge as just the next thing after HS and that it is mandatory. Most of them and myself included find out in like 7th/8th grade.

Hey mines, What is LAN airlines?

LAN Airlines is an airline based in Chile.

It's not just Puerto Ricans wrcsti, ignorance is also directed at every other group of people. On more than one occasion when a person found out that a person was Jewish, they made money/greed jokes, as if that was supposed to impress him. Also, when a German exchange student came to my school, a couple of idiots did Nazi salutes and goose-stepped in the hallways. I guess they were trying to impress him, too. Morons are everywhere.

Which brings me to my peeve - people who think that stereotypes about a person/race are actually true, and think that reinforcing those stereotypes will actually make that person like them.

 

[Loon]

They're stereotypes for a reason.

Note: Don't take offense to that because I do not endorse such acts, but think about it. I am Loon, and I approve this comment.

I know. I'm not disagreeing with that, at least for the most part.

The problem is that people think that by grossly inflating stereotypes, they'll actually get that person to like them. If you were German, how would you like it if someone tried to be your friend by telling you "Sieg heil" and saluting? Or if you were British, someone tried to make your acquaintance by saying that all Brits have bad food and nasty teeth?

That's my problem with these people.

I agree, that really is asinine logic.

 

[Barracuda]

That would get annoying because he probably texts you several time a day since he owns a Blazer .

You're actually perfectly right. The previous owner was a dud so right now he's just trying to get it back up and running well.

 

[Rue]

Why do people think Bristish people have bad teeth? I've never understood that. So many non-Brits I've met (and that's obviously many) have said this. You guys should see the state of many peoples teeth in China and Japan!

One of the social habits that annoys me is spitting in public. It's foul.

1:- Self appointed internet/forum cops... you know the kind that pick apart any forum post they can to boost their own self esteem and to feel important.
2:- People that actually say 'lol' on teamspeak, if they can say lol they are clearly not laughing out loud.
3:- Belching, eating loudly and playing music on teamspeak.
4:- When people read your newspaper and leave it in a messy state.
5:- When people make a meal of any minor illness or injury they have.
6:- Instant experts - eg, my brother who never showed even the slightest interest in music for the first 30 years of his life became an expert on music in 1 month after he got his ipod, he knows nothing in reality.
7:- People that mess about with their phones all the time.
8:- txtspk.... what more can i say.
9:- Incorrect pronunciation eg:- 'Nucular'
10:- People that try to acquire accents, Catherine Zeta Jones springs to mind.
11:- People that over-use the word Awesome. I know lots of us do it, but overuse has completely devalued the word when used in its correct sense. eg. watching the earth rise over the horizon while standing on the moon could be described as awesome whereas beating a lap time by a fraction of a second can merely be described as quite good... not awesome.
12:- Formula 1 drivers who use the phrase 'for sure' in every single sentence.
13:- Obsessives that always find a way to bring their favourite subject into every single conversation they have.

If you knew the part of Swansea she was from you'd be surprised she had a Welsh accent in the first place. If anything she puts on more of a Welsh twang to impress the home crowd.

 

[Maffski]

Yeah I know what you mean.

I was thinking more of this particular woman I know who spent approx 2 months in the States and came back with an accent that lasted for several years... She blatantly does it to get people to ask her about it. Simple attention seeking device really.

 

[91hondawagon]

Speaking of accents, the Valley Girl way of speaking is really irritating. You know, the kind where, like, every sentence ends in, like, a question? Seriously, do you have to, like, say like in front of, like, every other word?

 

[L_Hamilton]

3:- Belching, eating loudly and playing music on teamspeak.

That's why in Ventrilo, you have "Mute" or play music louder than they are. That pisses them off. And when they ask "Why did you do that?" Just simply say,"Hey, if you never asked me permission to play music in the server then I don't have to ask either." And continue playing music.👍👍

 

[stumpydino]

- totally ignorant people who think diabetes means 'omg dont eat sugar youl go into a coma' actually any ignorant people who make up their own ideas about something they dont understand without finding out.
- fat people who are 'ok' with how they look, and i dont mean just anyone slightly porky i mean the clinically obese ones who dont care at all about their health, it might be easier to ignore reality but its still not good
- parents who overfeed their kids
- people who assume things are aimed at them when they arent, things arent as dramatic as they make out. deliberately bringing things onto themselves, especially when they insist you hate them for whatever reason, race/age/preference when actually noone cares but they still try to make a big scene to be difficult.
- people who think that promotion and advertising of healthy living is an 'oppressive pressure'
- people who dont realise they arent as important as they think they are
- those that make mountains out of molehills, honestly just lighten up and calm down

 

[Prosthetic]

I used to play online games with an Aussie, and I always tried to put a accent on when we played just to piss him off.

People who stereotype us Californian teenagers as rich and spoiled... It's rare I get a few bucks for anything from my parents.

I really hate it when people expect you to read their mind. It really pisses me off, and they always tell me to use common sense, but the fact is, I can't apply common sense to something when I don't know what that something is... Like my dad, we were painting, he points at a box (we were clearing the room) and he expected me to know to pick it up and put it in a certain spot. I irritates me, and it's not like I haven't told him, he just says "Just do it" in a rude manner.

 

[Kylehnat]

Isn't all of California like the 3 miles of Laguna Beach on TV?

What? You mean you aren't all free-spending teenagers with pointless emotional problems?!

And here I was, thinking "The OC" was a documentary... how foolish of me.

You're sure you're not from South Wales?

My "towny" cousin would say "like" without fail, and couldn't even stop if you asked her to. My sister's friend does the exact thing you mention of going to a slightly higher pitch at the end of every sentence, 15 minutes in the car with her and I almost opened the door and jumped out on a roundabout. And that is no word of a lie.

10:- People that try to acquire accents, Catherine Zeta Jones springs to mind.

I don't try to acquire them, they kinda follow me home... I dislike going to other states for long periods of time for that reason. The last accent I picked up was from Minnesota, I was visiting family for two weeks, and the accent came home with me.
