To have wanted to stab this woman at the ATM

user1485342611 · 25/04/2018 17:17

I went up to the ATM this afternoon and got there a split second behind another woman so just smiled at her and stood back.

She then proceeded to put her card in and out a couple of times doing different transactions, took out another card and did the same and then did a transaction on a third card. By the time she was finished there was half a dozen people waiting in the queue.

AIBU to think she was a selfish cow who should have let me go ahead when she knew she was going to be ages?

Oh fuck off. Everyone gets irrational and impatient from time to time.Everyone.

Ruffian · 25/04/2018 19:11

Not literally like stabbing her. It's just an expression

A particularly horrible one.

If you feel 'stabby' because you had to wait a few extra minutes at a cashpoint how do you cope with genuinely stressful stuff?

There is still hope for me yet then 🌞🌞

Now pictish focus on your breathing, nice & calm. Failing that, here's a baseball bat, go beat a tree 😂

I love how angry you’re getting as this thread progresses. Almost as if to prove you’re right.

TheJoyOfSox · 25/04/2018 19:14

You got there behind her, she was under no obligation to offer you her place. Get over yourself love and work on your anger issues!

They don't....they really don't. Some people are calm and grown up.

pictish · 25/04/2018 19:20

Yes...and some people are lying on the internet.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 25/04/2018 19:21

and some people are lying on the internet.

Shock no way!! And how does that make you feel Pictish?

pictish · 25/04/2018 19:22

And kidding themselves.

MilkyCoffeeAndSkinnySyrup · 25/04/2018 19:24

Learn to be patient.

JacquesHammer · 25/04/2018 19:25

Is the fact some people don’t get annoyed annoying you Pictish? Grin

pictish · 25/04/2018 19:26

How does it make me feel?
To be honest, a little bit sorry for you. The pretence. It’s a shame you feel the need.
I’m ok with having thoughts that are less than charitable at times...I’m human and I know how to behave. Why aren’t you ok with it? Are you going to tell me you never have any?

Ruffian · 25/04/2018 19:27

I could KILL those people that lie on the internet!! What's wrong with them??? Angry

SaltyPeanut · 25/04/2018 19:28

Feeling like stabbing a stranger because they took more time doing something than you thought they should.

You sound a right knobber.

NotAgainYoda · 25/04/2018 19:28

I have been thinking why she'd have three cards. Maybe a carer for three different people?

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 25/04/2018 19:30

Is the fact some people don’t get annoyed annoying you Pictish?

Grin it looks that way.

Oh no, not annoyed. Just sorry. Pictish pities those of us for not feeling ragey at people using cash machines.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 25/04/2018 19:30

They’re clearly to be pitied ruffian

NotAgainYoda · 25/04/2018 19:31

I don't deny I have thoughts. I go and start a thread some time later and then get all riled and defensive about it. I take deep breaths and try and relax. If you think people are always out to fuck you over it harshes your mellow

ChinnyReckon1 · 25/04/2018 19:31

As you think people should avoid inconveniencing you in a minor way and not waste your time, shouldn't you put a warning on this thread so people don't waste their time reading about this complete non-event?

IdentifiesAsMiddleAged · 25/04/2018 19:31

Shit but I wouldn't go and start a thread some time later

IdentifiesAsMiddleAged · 25/04/2018 19:31

Double shit. Name changed fail

Ruffian · 25/04/2018 19:35

Indeed Zibbidoo, they are sad self-deluding people. OP and Pictish are warriors for truth and righteous anger! As well as completely pointless anger that makes the world a more depressing place. Let's hear it for them!

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 25/04/2018 19:35

Grin I was confused for a second there identifies. It’s made me all ragey. Wink

midnightmisssuki · 25/04/2018 19:37

I know someone that was stabbed - he died. I don’t think you should throw that word around so easily. YABU. Go to another machine next time. And get some help with your anger issues.

FreeMantle · 25/04/2018 19:39

The Op isn't cross because the person in front took ages.
The Op is cross because the woman in front got there a second before the Op knowing she was going to be forever.

Everyone knows the approximate time something should take.It's why people let others into shopping queues when they can a person with one item. It's why you let the person order a drink first when you know you have a table of eight to order food and drink for. It's why you let someone gomin front whilst you sort out your change etc.
