Aibu to think some people are just rude/ignorant?

[PinkGiraffe1]

So most of my examples are slightly light-hearted or me def BU because I'm overheating and suffering with hayfever but some people (things they do) really bug the shit out of me.

Some examples:

• sitting on the aisle of bus/tram and person on inside just stands up clearly wanting to get off. Is 'excuse me please' so fucking hard to say?

• 2 people walking down pavement that's only wide enough for 2 people. Here I come along and do they drop back/step in front of each other so I can pass? Do they buggery! I mean is letting go of your OHs hand for 3 seconds going to cause them to see the light and run off?

• opening a door, not checking if someone's behind and letting it slam in your face

• ambling down the middle of the pavement so anyone in a rush needs to practically leap frog over

• DH leaving clean washing on the floor instead of putting away. I call it the floorobe.

• DH leaving his shoes all over the fucking house like some sick obstacle course for me

• DH leaving cups in the sink when the dishwasher is a foot away

• DC just never listening to you unless they want lifts/money/chocolate (ages teenager to toddler)

• DMum having no idea what I do for a living even though I've explained hundreds of times. Then calling DH regarding a problem that is exactly what I do for a living but because he's a man and it's to do with computers how could I as woman possibly know.

• SIL being a jealous mardy arse even though her only problem is laziness and a sense of entitlement

• colleague at work constantly interrupting, talking over me, making everything about her and generally trying to be an insufferable know-it-all

• people posting in AIBU - asking if they are BU, 99% of Mumsnet say yes you are but then arguing back why they're not. I mean why ask then?

• Some MN in AIBU posting for help but not listening/taking it or whipping us up into a frenzy then disappearing (& not adding diagrams to parking thread)

I know there will be at least 1 person saying I'm BU (ranty, intolerant etc) but God that felt good to vent out.

So wise and blunt talking MN, make me think I'm not totally a grumpy old woman and tell me what grinds your gears?

The phrase "grinds your gears"

Do you not have friends you can bitch about this with? Add that comment to your list

You seem nice. And yes I do thanks.

Swimming lengths in a huge pool and the only other person in there, a dad with a baby, decides he HAS to get in my way, there are 5 other fucking lanes you could splash about in for gods sake!!!!

Watching a beautiful peacock do it’s thing at the zoo and some idiots coming up and pretty much chasing it/ acting like they were going to step on its feathers. Dicks.

People who are rude to shop assistants. I work in poundland so we get a range of different people...
Last week woman buys 7 items. Me that's £6 please.. Her.. After she's paid no it should be a fiver the body spray is 2 for £1. Me.. Looks through receipt to see what she had brought and tired to read back .. She talks over me then said I know what i bought! Then I tried to point out what she had again but she wasn't prepared to listen. Snatched the receipt from my hand said I wasn't listening started swearing and walked out. I hope she felt like a cunt later when she counted her 7 things in her bag but I doubt it.

You are not grumpy; those things are unacceptable! I'd like to add: Pedestrians who wait for my traffic light to turn green, then cross! Walking slowly while they continue their conversation. Glance right at me to check I'm not about to run them over but heaven forbid they should wave a thanks/apology, or walk quickly so I don't miss the lights. Just pig ignorant.

@shirleyschmidt I totally agree. I've also been nearly hit by bikes going through red lights when I've been on a crossing and Little green man is telling me to go.

@LongSummerDays sorry was channelling Peter Griffin. Promise I don't say that phrase in real life.

Also agree with all other post (except one)

People stopping at the bottom of escalators while the people behind them topple like dominoes. Equally inside doors in shopping centres.

I half felt like making an AIBU thread on here about this but since this is a good one to whinge in; people who go change their names to post a thread, knowing full well that the DM sometimes get their material from here, suddenly thinks 'oh, maybe this is too 'outing' (despite having an anonymous handle on here, WHICH they even CHANGED to post the thread), then asks for said thread to be deleted, so when you look for updates, you find it's been deleted! Just when you get interested in the thread! For fuuuqks sake, why even BOTHER to post, then? What is the point? If you don't know how this site works by now, then don't make a thread at all, if you are so scared of being outed! It is so silly! First, you are not even using your real name, anyway! Secondly, you have another layer of protection, in that you even changed your nick! Making it doubly hard for anyone to work who you are out! It is absolutely fucking ridiculous! This is an ANONYMOUS site! The likelihood of anyone working out who you are, on your original handle alone is extremely remote. Let alone getting a second handle. For goodness sake, just don't bother posting a thread at all then, if you are that paranoid! It really shits me off! -end rant-

People stopping dead in the middle of the isle at the supermarket, chatting to someone. Not even noticing you, even when one of them is facing you. At least please move to one side so I can fit my trolley down the isle.

Is 'excuse me please' so fucking hard to say?

I remember when I was a teen I was so anxious to speak I'd spend about a minute silently building up the courage to say "excuse me"!

You'd have hated me OP!

@SalemBlackCat and those who post photos of themselves or other things (and after a bloody namechange to boot) and then ask for a deletion because its identifuckingfying

@SalemBlackCat def agree with supermarket conversations. And then when you say 'excuse me please' they look at you so scathingly it's like I said I want to chop your head off! As for name changes/thread deletions, I don't understand either but not been on MN long enough to work out how posting could be identifying. Suppose they worry they'll be outted but agree not sure how.

@rosesandflowers1 young people (Some not all) and people who possibly might not speak very good English fair enough. But it's mostly adults. Adults who've been chatting on their phone, so not shy. And the way they look at you and then confidently walk off... just rudeness. It happens too often that I'm sure it can't just be me that sits next to shy or socially not confident people.

Fabulous rant ! YANBU. Have some and

Thank you @concretesieve. I'll gracefully accept the but the will have to wait for a few months (7mths pregnant) - hence the rant/overheating. And my feet are the size of baby whales!
