RANT: Hey moron! Get the F--- out the way!!!!!!!

[Huz]

What is it with people, usually in duos or trios, congregating in conversation in the absolute worst possible places? Examples - stairwells, right in front of the elevator, directly in front of the soda machine, at a ballpark or stadium blocking an exit, etc. etc. !!!!!! I can't believe how dense people are. I was at a sandwich shop trying to fill my drink just now, and I said "excuse me" probably 3 or 4 times before I finally had to just push these 2 knuckleheads out of the way. Even after I did that they acted like I wasn't even there; still talking. That's not even a bad one though. The worst are at the sporting events when some retard sees somebody from high school and they decide to catch up for the last 20 years right in from of a main exit?

People are so like sheep it's not even funny.

 

[pyonir]

oblivious to their surroundings.

 

[mpitts]

What does any of this rant have to do with people being sheep?

 

[Hammer]

argh. i hate that.

 

[Kaervak]

Just carry an airhorn with you. Makes the day much more entertaining.

 

[LeeTJ]

for me the worst is when people do this in their cars. they stop side by side in the middle of a street and commence their conversing w/o thought to cars waiting behind them.

 

[CrowDog]

I agree

 

[Geekbabe]

Obviously you broke with geek tradition and showered and changed your underwear,that'll teach you

 

[vi edit]

Or, the oblivious tool at the supermarket that parks his shopping cart in the middle of the fuggin isle while he decides for 20 minutes which type of peanut butter he wants.

MOVE YOUR DAMN CART AND LET THE REST OF US THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[loup garou]

Urgh...this drives me nuts too. It happens at work constantly. Idiots talking while standing in the doorways to stairwells, holding the elevator door open forever to talk (which holds up the elevator for everyone else who needs to use it!), talking right in front of the soda/snack machines. Idiots! :|

lol reminds me off playing golf in the summer. Me and a Friend were had just finished a hole, and cruised passed these 2 women prolly about in their 40's, prolly snobs (it was a really posh club). So we got to the next hole, and began teeing up. The Women walked right passed us, and right down the middle of the 150 yard of whatever fairway, us standing there in amazement, going wtf. So we were just standing there for 2 minutes waiting to play :disgust:
it was amazing how oblivious some people can be

Those things are awesome!! I scare people all the time with it. When its quiet in a public place and theres a lot of people around, I use the horn and it scares the sh|t out of everybody.

This was worst in high school and at the grocery store. People have no sense of traffic flow.

 

[AkumaX]

i concur.

I call these types of people "bottleneckers" as they have the ability to find a bottleneck ANYWHERE... and then stand in it without a clue as to what's happening around them. I have one of those types here at work and cannot stand it. To top it off he's a "mouth breather" - meaning his mouth hangs open all the time, breathing loudly through it - that thinks his inane stories are funny and pertinent to whatever the moment happens to bring. Uhhh, wrong on both counts.

Just had to share as I just bumped into him (literally) two minutes ago - you'll never guess, he was just standing there, and then found this post.

Grocery stores are THE WORST. at peak time, six women standing right in front of the check out lanes, blocking the entire isle. everyone was swearing at them (no joke) but they kept on gabbing pretending to not hear everyone asking them to move.:frown:

"Mouth breather"...ROFLMAO...now I have a term for it. I encounter a guy like that at work occassionally, except it gets worse: he smells like he has a lump of feces stuck in his throat. Mmmm sh!t samiches - not sure where he gets them but I'm pretty sure it's his diet staple.

Edit: messed up the damn acronym

 

[Zenmervolt]

It's related to the phenomenon whereby the more people there are walking together, the slower they walk. I'll be walking around a building on campus and at least twice a day I encounter a gaggle of people blocking off both directions of a hallway or staircase who are making so little forward progress that a snail would out-pace them.

OTOH

i was at a light and it was red so i was naturally stopped. it turned green and i immediately started to pull out, apparently it wasn't fast enough for the moron behind me because he laid into the horn, so i slowed down.

[roncarter]

just slap them next time.. and get the freak out of there! hahah

 

[bmacd]

When i use to break the law and speed on my bike (notice i used "use to", as in past tense), i'd annoy the hell out of me when people would have their cruise control set to 60 in a 70mph zone on the expressway in the far left lane. If i see somebody coming up fast on my ass, i switch lanes and let them go through.

I know this is off thread, but I do the same thing. There's nothing I enjoy more than someone riding my bumper, getting all panicky because he wants to drive 2mph faster than me.

I do the same thing to those a@@holes too. I have even debated slamming on my brakes or slamming the car in reverse -- oooops.
