a special kind of [censored]

[DING-DONG YO]

jaydub, that is different than someone just being a dick. I would not think any less of someone who declines a spot because they were uncomfortable with the weight.

The people who have cell phone conversations during movies rank near the top of the list for me. This seems to be happening with greater frequency these days.

It's because people don't do anything about these atrocities anymore.

Do the world a favor... next time you see someone being a jerk in any of the above-mentioned capacities, call them on the carpet for it.

So what's your suggestion? Exacerbate the situation by making a scene in the middle of the movie? Confront the person after the movie? Do you know who is doing this mostly? Young people -- teenagers. People who probably would be more prone to violence over such nonsense than I am. Do you think that's still a good idea?

Well, of course if you're a scaredycat, you probably shouldn't say anything.

By the way, I'm another person who has no problem calling out a-holes for this type of crap. I've found that talking in a slightly-too-loud and stern voice will take care of most things.

"EXCUSE ME, WILL YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING DURING THE MOVIE? THANK YOU."

I've gotten applause a couple of times doing this.

Same here. One time I did this to a guy in a movie whose phone kept ringing. I stood up and yelled "Put that [censored] on vibrate."

I was sitting near the aisle, and about 15 minutes later some random old guy walks past me, leans down and says, "I'm headed to the concession stand, you want anything..its on me."

I declined, but thought that was really cool of him.

Nothing the waitress did seemed all that bad.

People on public transport who play music through their mobile phone, but without using speakers.

Result: everyone else withing 20 metres gets to listen to loud, tinny, poor quality music.

This goes double for people who don't turn off when asked, and often I do ask, because I am less afraid of being stabbed by youths than most London commuters.

I would count driving half a mile on the shoulder and then trying to force your way back into stopped traffic on this list.

On my life, this is the absolute END OF THE THREAD.

I honestly hope for these peoples' cars to go flipping off the road into a tree, killing the offending party.

I am not joking.

Just for the record, I don't wish them any suffering, I merely wish that they would cease to exist. If that means "death" or mysterious disappearance, so be it.

I also wished the same on a guy who was driving in front of me on 83 the other day who THREW A FULL BAG OF MCDONALD'S TRASH OUT HIS CAR WINDOW ONTO THE MEDIAN.

(Caps because I am screaming this inside my skeleton head.)

I've read and re-read the situation like 4 times now... it doesn't make sense.

Did you mean it takes a special kind of a-hole to walk up to order food, knowing full well that someone else had been there before you, but ordering anyway?

These kind of things set me off big time.

When I am clearly walking to a location that you have clearly blocked (I'm 6'2" 230, kinda hard to miss), and you're facing me... but you still don't move, I want to set you on fire.

This happens in grocery stores and with retarded Best Buy employees who are conversing amongst themselves. When it's employees it makes my twice as angry.

I had to read it a second time myself.

Daryn failed to use the word "one" or "he," as opposed to "you" or "he," and it caused ambiguity.

On the other hand: when you are driving on a two lane highway, and being the responsible driver you are, you put on your blinker to switch lanes. Huge prick/a-hole who's in this lane and clearly behind you, sees your blinker and speeds up so you can't switch lanes.

This makes me want to punch babies.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah. there are a lot of them that involve driving. the other really irritating one is going like one mile an hour faster than the people in the slow lane in the fast lane, and refusing to move over or speed up. or just sitting in the left lane going the speed limit, forcing EVERY SINGLE PERSON to pass you on the right, when there's not even any traffic.

or basically being from New Jersey and owning a car, that's kind of a catchall for most of these.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a DAILY EVENT in my life.

You can just hear their stupid voices inside of the moronic "empowered" brains:

"Uh-uh. I am GOING THE SPEED LIMIT, and I have EVERY RIGHT to be right here in THIS LANE! That's right. I do NOT care that there are 15 cars behind me that want to be driving faster, because I am NOT going to move out of this lane."

And, in front of them, you can see beautiful, clear, car-free left lane for miles and miles.

FWIW, If I were driving at Mach 3 and someone appeared in my rear view mirror wanting to pass, I would move aside.

I hate people even more when I am driving than other times. It seems like driving is like a douche magnifying glass.

Saw a guy in an SUV lose control on a wet road and slam into the barrier at about 45 mph while trying to pull this move on the DC Beltway a couple years ago. Best example of instant karma I've ever witnessed.

I promise you, I would have welled up with tears, so thorough my joy would be.

I'm sure there are 800 million other more important things to feel this strongly about, but I have decided I do not care about any of those things at all.

I only care about this.
