People are unbelievably inconsiderate...or thick or both?

[Fieldsandgrasses]

Had a lovely afternoon apart from I was watching a play next to a woman wearing a wide-rimmed hat. OK, didn't affect me in that I could still see, but what about the people behind her? Isn't it common sense not to wear a hat in those circumstances?

Then I went to the bank and had to wait for ages while cashiers explained to customers that they couldn't fulfil their requests. Surely, most over the counter operations are quite simple and if it is not possible, or your request is unintelligible and the cashier has no idea what is needed, you live away from the counter to let other people be served?

How hard can these things be? Urgh, feel better now I have said that. I just think if you go through life being reasonably thoughtful and intelligent about the way you go about things, life is so much easier for everyone?

DixieWishbone - WTF "accidentally killed their entire flight crew"

Please elaborate, surely not!?

As for inconsiderate arseholes I am infuriated and saddened on a daily basis, I just desperately try and cling on to the potential that karma may exist!

Flight simulator makes sense! Didn't mean to derail thread as OP is defNBU!! Just had a real wtf moment as I read through!

killing the entire flight crew is slightly more than inconsiderate

Borntoflyinfirst admittedly hats and big hairstyles are inconsiderate, but why should she have to sit on the edge? If the cinema was half empty, you could have moved so as not to be right behind her. People can't help being tall. I'm tall, does that mean I should forevermore resign myself to bad views in the theatre and cinema?

Funniest thread today. Thank you so much! Standing on the train gripping your piles!!
And then a massacre in the middle of a post, glossed over with a story about a school play and a Maypole.

I woke the baby laughing at that! Thanks so much for this thread.

Woman in marks today decided when she was about to pay she wanted to get six more bottles of wine. She did apologise though.

I was once kicked in the stomach by some absolute cow when I was sat on the floor refilling stock in the shop I worked in, when I asked her what the hell she thought she was doing apparently I was in her way so what did I expect?

I was sat on the floor because I was heavily pregnant and couldn't bend over properly without my leg sliding out of its socket.

I find one of the most inconsiderate things are people who are constantly late. My Inlaws are the worst for this, you'll be sat around waiting for them for up to two hours and they'll just breeze in like nothing has happened. We don't bother arranging to meet up with them anymore.

My daughter got offered a seat on the tube the other day as a lady thought she was pregnant. She was horrified. She's a slender size 10 but had a thick coat and long scarf wrapped up inside it. She said she was very appreciative in her refusal.

ChickyDuck I guess it depends on who took their seats first.

Oh the world is full of them.

Old city, one-way system, narrow street. Someone pushing a pram towards me on the pavement tutted huffily & loudly at me for not stepping off the pavement with my child into the busy road so we could let her pass. There is only room for one person to pass, it's either her and her pram in the road, or me and my child in the road, apparently. And as my DC is older (5!!) I should sacrifice them.

Or hang on, we could both - brace yourselves, radical idea coming up - WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC TO PASS before I step into the road with my child. Thus inconveniencing her and her pram for, ooh, 30 seconds, but crucially no one dying in the path of an oncoming car.

Rarg.

Bisquick - I wish you had sat on their laps! Or said, I bet your mother would be proud! dripping with sarc! Even if they aren't sympathetic to pregnant women they've still got a mum who was one once! Happened to me on a Birmingham train once. I think I loudly said to someone else near me, ' I guess there aren't any gentlemen left in the world, huh?'. Grrrr on your behalf.

I work at a till - I see a lot of inconsiderate stuff. The worst is when people are inconsiderate to me by holding their money in their mouth and then handing it to me. < Not envy.

I really need to know more about the flight crew story - currently in the absence of a full story I have filled in the blanks myself and it's a bloodbath!

I wanted to post this somewhere but didn't know where to post. So thanks for OP.

I did Zumba for the first time today so chose a spot at the back and someone came in after me and stood behind me. I tried to make it obvious I was on the back row (I was less than a meter from the wall behind so thought it was bloody obvious) and stayed I where I was but she was so close to me I had to move forward slightly for safety. Throughout the whole class I was fuming wondering how I could've told her to get out of my personal space, but just kept quiet

I get really annoyed at those peope in shops who don't seem to think they need to queue even though there is a queue and they pretend they can't see anyone else, nip in front of everyone and then feign innocence if you say anything ... happened to me yesterday in Next - entrance to tills clearly marked and nice queue of people waiting patiently and this lady just edged in the other end and went straight to the front - lady in front of me said nothing but muttered - I said " the queue is at this end " - she turned around and said " oh well you won't mind waiting I'm in a rush " - for some reason I couldn't help myself and replied " oh well if you're in such a rush you sadly won't have time to buy your items as there's four people in front of you " as I marched forward and put my things down in front of the sales assistant.

How do people justify this kind of selfishness ? I'd turn inside out with embarrassment.

They are more important than anyone else.

Happening daily here now. People are so fucking selfish.

Kids' Xmas concerts this week - 3-7 year olds. PTA have taken time to provide something for pennies that parents couldn't otherwise get. Very popular. Displayed at back of hall. Doors open, people ignore the 200 chairs set out for them to put their arses on and instead stand with their backs rubbing against the display. When asked politely to move so people can view and buy they bark "I'm not sitting down". Twats.

Not to mention the 2/3rd that fuck off once their little snowflake has performed leaving the 7 year olds to play to a near empty hall.

In queues- when people queuing behind me feel the need to constantly shuffle forward even though the queue isn't getting shorter. It often happens in theme park queues. You aren't going to get to the front any faster by breathing on my neck

I've moaned about this before, and it's been nearly 10 years, and I know it's not really a big deal, but...
During DS' newborn hearing test, a lady in the bed opposite put her hairdryer on
She knew it was happening because her babies had just had theirs too!

Grr at all these inconsiderate people stories!

The parking in my street. We have our own driveway plus there are spaces for other cars, always available. I regularly go out to someone blocking me in, cars parked on pavements when there are spaces available. I could go on and on, but god forbid that anyone would have to walk an extra few inches

I think sometimes people just don't think ...
I was at an event that was pay on the door -the organisers were unexpectedly busy and there was a massive queue - mainly outside (thankfully the weather wasn't bad) but people were queuing for 15-20 mins. I was standing near the door waiting for someone so watched and I was amazed at the number of people who didn't have their purse out, fumbled around coppering up when there was plenty of change and asked the people on the door questions - when there were more of the organisers standing in front of them ready to help...I was impressed by the people on the door - they were extremely polite trying to speed them along - I'm not very patient and I think would have snappily told them to stand to one side whilst I got the next people in...
Actually it reminds me (and makes me thankful my DC are now too old!) of when we used to go to see Santa at a local animal park. Sometimes you could be queuing outside for an hour - if not more - and often it was freezing cold. ( We used to go well wrapped up, with hand warmers etc and still suffered.) DP was working so I would be on my own - other families in couples left one person in the queue whilst the other took the children around the park and sat in the cafe - and sometimes swapped over so they could go for a warm up. That annoyed me slightly but was understandable. Except one year there was one of those couples just in front of me - they queued as a family for max 10 mins...the mother said something to the DCs about having waited so long so make it special, worthwhile - not be in a rush. And they were in with Santa for ages ...I'm surprised the elf didn't chuck them out. I was always conscious of the fact there was still a massive freezing queue and not to dawdle - just be in long enough for the DCs to have the experience...

DH and I at the bar after a concert recently, he was waiting to order and I was standing slightly apart just people-watching. Two young women moved into the space between us, no problem there was room and we didn't look like we were together, I was just along to help carry drinks back to our party. The one next to me suddenly bent so all her hair fell forward then stood and flung it back so I got a face full of her hair.

I'd just spluttered it away from my mouth and tapped her on the shoulder saying "Don't do that" when the other, with her back to my DH, produced a bottle of cheap and nasty perfume she already reeked of and started spritzing herself AND in the process my DH AND the drinks he'd just bought that were on the bar.

He just yelled: "OY what the fuck do you think you're doing?"
She turned said "Oops, sorrreee." Giggle. Eyelash flutter.
He said, "Yeah? Then you can buy me some more drinks then." Batman backed him up.

She was so shocked, she'd said sorrrreee and it was an accident, but he wasn't gonna let it go, so she started arguing. Finally the barman called the bouncer standing nearby. He came over and told her either pay for the drinks or get out. They left and the barman replaced the drinks free for us. Dumb dumb dumb bitches.
