Is it me? Or are more people getting ignorant/stupid


dude

Recommended Posts

What kind of deluded world do you live in! And I bet you park over 2 disabled/parents pumps while not getting any!

 

Bit harsh to bring his sex life into this...

 

It is very frustrating. I waited behind a car at the pumps a couple of weeks ago and I could see the chap inside going to the toilet, getting coffee and browsing the magazines before coming out. The petrol station only has 6 pumps as it is. I beeped the horn and that seemed to hurry him a bit.

 

When he came out, it was the shortest fattest bloke ever, driving a 106. I'm not sure if he didn't realise that the petrol station was busy or something but he came out red in the face and looking all apologetic.

 

He looked too comedic to say anything to though.

If these are the worst things that are happening in people's lives then all is well. Really, this is all incredibly trivial, compared with the stuff 90% of people on this planet have to deal with, day in, day out, for their whole lives.

 

Get a sense of perspective everyone, please.

 

True but fortunatly I dont have to deal with Tsunamis and famine, its more indicative of how society is going, when it gets a bit worse you will prob think a diff way but by then you may be too old to do anything about it. i just cannot stand ignorant people.

I liked that :)

Totally agree with you. There is a problem with society and it should be more damaging to this country than a famine or Tsunami.

 

We are not the only ones with problems though. Anyone see the news article of the child being run over in China (?) and no one stopping to help the child.

Manners have massively changed over the years, respect has changed, please now switch for no reason.

 

Though John, I think you need to take a step back. Easier said than done, I agree. I used to be a bit more like that but nowadays I don't let the petty things get to me, life is soooo much more than that to get wound up by some low life which has as much aspirations as a plastic gangster. I think because of your build some may already be defensive when you approach them (watch body language next time), I'd try a softer tone & don't use hands whilst talking & no pointing. If they did aggressive, don't go down with them. Remain calm & stand your ground they will either back down or get more aggressive.

 

If they get too aggressive & you feel threatened then knock the sense out of them... And then let him lick it off the floor.

 

:D

 

I totally understand where you are coming from though ;)

 

I do notice that a lot of the men doing are shall we say at the larger end of the scale, my roofer mate was at least 3 stone overweight but they actually think thats intimidating, I find using 'fatty' every other word take a bit of confidence away then just chuck in the old'this aint no pie eating contest fat boy' line and all aspirations of intimidation seem to go !!!!

Sod messing with you John lol i wouldnt even bother back chatting, i would just lay on the floor and put myself in the recovery position.

 

But i do have a short fuse when people take liberties at petrol stations, get right on my nerves.

 

Its nothing to do with size dude, right is right and wrong is wrong, this woman in a Bentley coupe' (actually pretty attractive) pulled up on the pump opposite the one I was getting LPG on locked the car and went to walk in the shop, a car had pulled up behind and just put her hands up in frustration, I pointed this out to posh lady and she said 'so, theres plenty of other pumps', 'not LPG' I said. Now this must have registered as she prob knew nothing of LPG, very quickly I pointed out that I would have expected a lady of her standing so well dressed (very) nice car and very well spoken to have more thought for other people !!! After all its manners that make a person not fancy clothes and cars !!! She moved the Bentley. Bitch wouldn't give me her number though !!!! LOL

Rocky 5 when Tommy Gunn turns up at the bar towards the end of the film !!!! Its amazing how psycology can work on people. My pal was at Burger King and sat there was the most attractive girl he had ever seen, so he was staring a bit but trying to be subtle, she had her boyfriend who had not noticed. Now Lee is 6 ft 3 and huge and a very naughty boy to boot BUT extremly polite and well spoken. as the couple leave it obvious she knows just how gorgeous she is and struts around the shop, when they get to where Lee is she start he was staring at me all the time etc, the boyfriend ids only small and Lee feels awkward because she is trying to goad him into saying something to Lee. So quick as anything Lee says 'Yes I was staring, I was wondering how something with only one head could be so ugly' Instantly stopped madam in her tracks, boyfriend breathes sigh of relief and entire Burger King clientel laugh profusely !!!!

I had a great one the other day in chester.

I parked my Supe in tesco, at the opposite side of the car park well out of the way, between two spaces.

So im not inconvienicing anyone and there are no cars for at least 100ft.

 

As im about to get out of the car, i notice a battered old clio with bodyfiller scrapes and rust down both sides of the car reversing down my drivers side with inches to spare.

Bear in mind im between two spaces furthest away from everywhere?!

The guy eventually pulls level with me and I wind my window down and tap on his window (yes, hes that close) - and he drives off really fast and parks somewhere else.

 

I went shopping and as I was coming out back to my car, i notice he is doing the same thing, reversing but now down my passenger side - at a jaunty angle which looks like hes going to touch me.

I ran over and opened his door and asked him WTF he was doing.

 

"Im practicing parking" he said.

 

...imagine, just... imagine *facepalm*

"And I'm practicing boxing" then proceed to split his wig.

I think that he was trying to pass you a message about proper parking :D

Why do Tesco's etc have a huge shopping area then create another shopping area at their

petrol pumps ?

I've sat at the pumps for a while only to see someone coming out with bags of shopping, i dont mind waiting

for someone to use the loo or grab a coffee but doing your weekly shop in there is wrong unless you pull

off the pumps.

The BP garage by me is the same with a nice M & S store inside which has very little parking just to use the store.
