people who judge homeless people- and assume that the reason they are homeless is because of drugs, or alcohol- and that if they give them money they'll go and spend it on formentioned stuff.

not all homeless people are homeless because of that.

learn your facts first
Thanks for this!

This is more of a funny story but this customer really irked me at the time. I used to work at a high end department store.

I was working in the kids department and a women asked me if we had any Trolls stuff and of course I thought she meant the movie Trolls. So I showed her the stuff we had and she told me in a rude tone “my daughters 10.” I had no idea what the hell she was telling me or what the she wanted me to do so I gave her some half assed answer and walked away.

I’m surprised no customer ever complained about me while I worked there.

But seriously. What did that customer want from me? I showed her the correct size and everything.

What I’m trying to say is aren’t 10 year olds into Trolls?

I don’t know. Since it was a high end department store the clientele was just self entitled snobs. I had one customer call me crazy because another coworker told her I didn’t work in that department and couldn’t help her. At my current job I don’t even wear my apron. Management doesn’t say anything since I don’t work on the floor. I haven’t had a customer interaction in months since they don’t know I work there. it’s been great. I even got a meets expectations on my customer service on my employee report card. Management told me customer service is not part of my job. Things are so much better.

people who insist on doing their bodily functions in your direction and not the other way

leaning towards you when they need to fart, burp in your face, don't cover their mouth while coughing, sneeze all over you and your property...

Using Chocolate milk as a part of a low calorie diet. I bought some peanut butter chocolate milk. I looked at the nutrition. I measured one cup into a thermos. One cup was 240 calories. One cup equaled to about 2 medium size sips. Meanwhile a liter of brisk half and half watermelon lemonade iced tea has 189 calories and tastes so much better and is so filling. The chocolate milk is going to my 5 and 2 year old nephews.

I hate being judged based on how I dress. I went into a very high end restaurant for a gift card. I was wearing my mom clothes. Jean's, hoodie, runners and a pony tail. They looked me up and down and were so rude, right up until I bought a $200 gift card.

Same experience in Jimmy Chu's in Las Vegas. Staff didnt even get their butts off leaning against the wall.

I want to say: I'm sorry, but how much do you make working in a shoe store that you feel like you can judge me? Grrrr.

I work pretty damn hard at physically gruelling labour, am always busy and finding something to do, and could never be accused of standing idly about. Yet it seems the slacking young people who do no more than lean on their mops and otherwise scive about get the reward. Some leadership. Of course said leadership are the peers of those standing about.

When people judge you on your clothes based on the weather. One time it was in the high 40s in early November. I get cold very easily. I had on a winter jacket and a hat and gloves. A bunch of teenagers walked past and one muttered “it’s not that cold.” Another time in April it was just starting to get warm after a very long winter. It was about 58 degrees. My SAD had been bad that winter so I was appreciating the “warm” weather. I went out of the house in a short sleeve shirt just to make myself feel better and hopeful. When I walked into the store an older women saw me and said In a snobby voice “some people think this weather is SO warm”

Just be frigging kind.

Would it be bad if I said the human race in general? I just want to live in a tiny house in a thick forest away from humanity. Too much to ask?

I sympathize. There are times I just do NOT want to go out around people.

...when people stand lazily, not walking, on the moving walkway in airports.

They are intended to help you move quicker to your gate. If someone wants to stand there and be slower moving than if they were walking on their own, then fine. At least move to one side so others that desire to actually walk fast can get through.
Thanks for this!

I'll gladly stand to one side so people can get past me. The reason I stand is because I don't walk very well in the first place, and I'm conserving energy so i don't have pain later. In my case, I would not be faster walking. If it's a HUGE distance, I'll get assistance from an employee or use a motor scooter.

I'm the same way on any type of sidewalk, aisle, or whatever. I know I move slowly, so I try to keep out of the way.

When the courier company informs you today is delivery day and a signature is required - and so you end up spending the entire day at home glued to the door in wait. Wait wait wait.

Mountain Dew.

First the artificial sweeteners of 2016. Then their new drinks were just old flavors combined to make a new drink. also with artificial sweetener. Now no Game fuel this year? They are promoting the crap out of that Ice stuff which tastes terrible. I’m glad I can’t drink soda anymore. This company absolutely sucks now.

People who get really mad on Facebook for basically no reason and say they are going to take a break from Facebook or are going to bed for the night and then are literally on minutes later. I sort of made a comment about people doing that. I said it a few days later after the umpteenth time of these 2 specific people doing it that I hated it when people said that they were taking a break from Facebook and then came back on minutes later.

These two people got the hint and they still do it but now they at least delete the post about taking a break.

I use another website to vent and talk (like an online chat)

I am shocked and saddened at the amount of people that use it as a dating platform

When other people get the credit....

Saturday morning, after four physically grueling hours of washing down and polishing an entire department at the new store I am part of the prep crew for, one of the slackers (to the extreme) walks into the middle of it - just as a manager walks through too. The manager turns to her and says, "Great work! Keep it up."

Are you kidding me?

When unhappy people try to tear down happy people because they're envious and miserable. When people become vicious and mean for no reason. Misery loves company and the weak always try to tear down the strong. Screw them.
