When were YOU a twat?

[IncompleteSenten]

Threads on here are normally tales of other people being arseholes and I wondered how many of us have had times when we've been total wankers.

I'll offer up a parking one.
I live in a tourist area. People are always parking up and fucking off. It's a bugger to park.

I once drew a map to the massive public car park in the middle of the village and stuck it under a car's windscreen wiper after I watched them park up and grab their bikes.

After a few hours I came to my senses and realised I was a wanker but they came back before I could sneak out and remove it.

Twat level - gold.

Also - at work people ask how my weekend was/ do I have anything planned for the weekend etc. I am such a chatterbox that either i tell them or engage them in a different conversation- I often forget to ask them about their weekend/holidays

[the80sweregreat]

I think there is twatty behavior by people who are naturally this way inclined and the odd moment of madness from people who are normally good tempered or definitely not twats all the time and are pretty reasonable.
We all have stresses and strains at times and get fed up with things or short when we know it's not justified, but just having a bad day.
People I can't stand are those who believe they are 'in the right ' at all times because generally they are not! They would never admit they are wrong.

A couple of weeks ago…..

I popped to the local Post Office, there were no empty car parking spaces, so I waited patiently for someone to leave with indicator tick-tocking away.

5 minutes of waiting and finally, a space frees up.

I start to reverse in and a little Range Rover pulls into it!

I tooted my horn, I’m ignored. Person gets out and trots to the Post Office.

So I parked across the back of the RR and joined the queue in the PO.

Didn’t hurry myself and took my time getting into my car and putting seatbelt on/ checking mirrors etc all the while RR driver is tooting their horn.

I drove off with a smile on my face.

Still makes me smile, I still give no fucks and I’d do it again.

I once (years and years ago when I was in my early 20s with no brain and very few morals) asked my next door neighbour for her WiFi code so I didn't have to pay for my own Internet. I couldn't understand why she looked awkward and thought she was being a proper dick!

[Seeleyboo]

I was always a twat. Less so these days. But i remember having a major fit in McDonalds drivethru about 15 years ago because i wanted a sour cream and all they had were the big tubs for 20p. I went mental at this poor teenager over 20p. I still refused to pay and wanted thr manager. What a moron. My kids remember and shame me occasionally with a reenactment.

[LagerthasOwl]

Oh I'll deliberately be an awkward Twat if someone is being ignorant. For example, if someone ignores the hatch marks (no stopping) on the road into my village and blocks my junction I'll make a big point out of sitting there with my indicator going, holding up the traffic whilst giving them a look, rather than just driving three minutes up the road to the next junction I could take (my road is a big semi circle)

If someone has parked across my space at the station to wait for someone rather than using the dedicated spaces I'll deliberately make a big fuss out of getting out of my space, even if I could get out easily.

Ditto saying "you're welcome" to people who just expect you to let them out/hold a door for them/move out the way then don't say thank you.

[PuggyMum]

I've got a real bee in my bonnet about places not accepting cash. Mainly theatres.
I took my mum recently and to see her face when she couldn't buy the drinks as she only had cash infuriated me.... and my little one cant buy an ice cream at the panto etc....

So now I comment all over their Facebook about how discriminatory it is and when I went with DH recently I ordered drinks etc and when they wouldn't accept cash just said 'I'll leave it then' and walked off. Just to be a twat.

[ButtOutBobsMum]

To my eternal shame I was the worst type of twat-a Bridezilla! I decided not to have my sister as my bridesmaid because of her tattoos. I was totally up my own arse in my 20s and very obsessed with "appearances". I then had a breakdown when I was 40 and realized what the important things in life were. I love my sister dearly and hope I have made it up to her in other ways since but it is definitely my biggest regret

[dumdumduuuummmmm]

Walking with a friend I said something that came out garbled. It's sort of sounded like I was speaking Japanese. So in jest I exaggerated it abs said more Japanese sounding gibberish. Whilst walking closely past an Eastern Asian man. He probably thinks I'm a raging racist who was mocking him. If he had looked at me he may have felt better but he had his head down. I'm part Asian. 😩

@LaburnumAlpine

I could write a feckin book about my spectacular twattisms.
I have natural talent and unbelievable drive to be a twat on daily basis. I wish I had such drive elsewhere where it could be a force for good.
I repent and try to become a naice person.

Sorry but ‘unbelievable drive to be a twat’ made me snort my tea, still giggling now

[Pinkpigs]

I've been a twat to many times i was an utter cow judging saying things no need for saying hurtfull things but one day that all changed like a slap in the face some woman i saw at a bench I was sitting on she walked funny and sounded like she was of her face I said to my self o God dont sit near me she's nuts on drugs she sat down and Said hi nice day isn't it I just grinned uh she said I used to jog round this field until I had a stroke and it affected my legs and my speech I felt awful and she was so nice I had a long chat and I change from that day that moment to a complete new women I'm nicer I wouldn't judge anyone ever again I've made so much change I feel better for it .

[HelloCanYouHearMe]

Make room for one more on the Twat bench...

Went to collect a parcel for my (dying) DF from the local drop off point earlier today and didn't take his ID. Bloke behind the counter (quite rightly) wouldn't hand over the parcel and I got the arse with him

[gamerchick]

@Thethreecs

I've so many 😳😳 the most recent one, I was booking blood tests with my GP for my heart condition, the receptionist told me that there was a 5 week wait as they were fully booked up. I asked to go on the cancellation list and she told me that was an A4 page long. I took the next appointment and was telling dh, he tells me that he also needs Bloods done and picks up the phone not even an hour later and she gives him an appointment for the following week. I was so pissed off that I rang her back and rambled off some shite about "if I was a man I would have got a sooner appointment" and some other things I can't remember 😳😳 tbh when dh rings or any of my ds's they get what they want and me and the girls have to wait.

Tbf I get the same experience. Fort Knox to me though.

[IncompleteSenten]

Oh good.
We're going to need a bigger twat bench.
This pleases me. It was lonely.

[womaniswomaniswoman]

I'm a twat because I agree to go to things then pull out at the last minute.

Since Covid I feel like I've got nothing to say, and can't really imagine anyone wanting to spend time with me after 2 years.

It's left me friendless, and I know it's the actions of a twat. I just can't seem to get over myself.

[Feckingfeck]

In Costco just now 🤦‍♀️

I had 1 item, others had pallets of stuff...

I walked around to a further till with nobody waiting

Never done that before 🙈. Not sure this is the idea of the thread!

[Bimster]

I pulled a "you're a shit driver" face at a woman the other day because she took about five attempts to parallel park and was holding me up. She then leaned out of the window and shouted "smile!" at me, which I actually thought was really funny and I forgave her her shit driving and felt bad about the face.

That sounds like common sense to me!

[Iamnotamermaid]

When I am walking along a path early morning, listening to a podcast, staying one side so people can pass me, and I am disturbed by a cyclists bell. This really pisses me off, there is no need for it. So I step towards the middle of the path. Bell rings again I step into the middle so the little twat has to slow down to get around me.

p.s. I am a cyclist, I just hate the way some ride with zero consideration for others.

[GroggyLegs]

I mouthed off (through the windscreen) at a car reverse parking really, really slowly next to me - essentially I was pissed off because if they'd let me drive out I'd have been on my way, but they prob hadn't even seen me sitting there.

As they pulled in & I zoomed out with a snarl, my son piped up "Oh mummy, that was Amelia and her mum" a lovely mum & child in his class. She waved as a went by on the road.

She never mentioned it, I never mentioned it. I hope she didn't clock what a twat I was being.

But I learned a lesson!

[Figmentofimagination]

@Inklingpot and @Thejoyfulstar. Your stories remind me of when I was unkind to my mum when I was a teen.
I was upstairs in bed trying to sleep and she was laughing her head of at a really good episode of Frasier. I just kept banging on the floor and shouting shut up as her laughing was keeping me awake. I made her cry. I still apologise to this day whenever that episode is on tv or we talk about it.

I was a twat for many years until starting Sertraline. I then realised much of my behaviour stemmed from anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. I'm still occasionally a twat but the meds have dialled that down somewhat.

[MissCrowley]

I'm a Karen.
DH thinks of me as more like Beverley Goldberg. But I can be an absolute knob sometimes if things aren't going the way I expect.
Also other people being on the road (or sometimes even just existing) pisses me right off. I'm not a very "human" person, humans as a species annoy the shit out of me and occasionally I have to step back and remember that I'm one too.

[Ringmaster27]

I felt bad about it afterwards, but I was rude to a bloke behind the bar in a pub the other week.
I was with my 3 young DCs, DP’s teenage/young adult DCs and DP.
DP stepped outside to make a phone call leaving me to sort the drinks. I got asked for ID, which I didn’t have on me because I planned on using Apple Pay and haven’t been ID’d for a long time! I was quite sharp when I asked “Are you joking? 🤨”, then put my passive aggressive hat on and told DP’s eldest son that he would have to sort the drinks because the wally behind the bar doesn’t believe his StepM is old enough to buy booze 😬

[LeftFootForward]

I freely admit I often acted like a massive twat from about age 16 to late twenties. Quite frankly I'm embarrassed about some of the things I did. I was very argumentative, cheated on a lovely BF, a complete hormonal emotional roller coaster ride.
After that I met my husband, had children and no longer put myself first all the time.
I'm now alot older and wiser and I've mainly learned to hide/deal with any twattish leanings I might still have 😁
