The asshats in front of me in the grocery store that not only took an entire cartful through the '15 Items or Less' line, but also paid for their entire $72 purchase with a JAR OF FUCKING QUARTERS sliding them into the self-checkout machine one at a time.

the only time i saw someone do the former was a senile caribbean man at the drink/sweets counter who was taking aaaages and trying to tell the inconvenienced that the country was a fucking disgrace and we needed to get the bnp in to sort it out, nobody reacted (stifled laughs excepted)

probably some karmic reminder of my insolence in considering a couple of miniatures and dairy milk to be an acceptable breakfast

I will refrain from listing the ethnicities of these passengers but I like to imagine that in those countries there are fleets of half-full buses and trains going everywhere. It's amazing public transportation achieves anything in those countries since they are probably only able to sell one ticket for every two seats.

Okay, okay, I'll just say it. Old Chinese people.

anyway I think that asia just might have a different bus culture - ime you need to make the movement like you're going to squeeze past them for the seat, at which point they will swing their legs out to let you in.

Yeah it's annoying when people do this, but really, just push past them

People who won't say "excuse me" are the most disgusting savages, particularly when combined with passive-aggressive glares and eye-rolling because you didn't read their minds and instantly move out of their way.

Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Thursday, 25 February 2010 13:58 (fourteen years ago) link

i say 'excuse me', but will absolutely couple it with the glare if i think it should have been obvious people are trying to get by.

where "politeness" has come to mean refusal to communicate and then getting angry about it

Linked to this - people who huff and hmf.

Other side of that coin - people who deliberately pause before getting out the way, etc. I had a pal like that, would not do anyone a favour, no matter how small, without making the asker wait just on principle ('could you pass the salt?' 'give me two minutes'). It actually takes a while for that to become annoying, but my word does it drive you mad when you realise what he was up to.

This process contains worlds of pain. Not exactly savagery, but I've got a friend who WILL insert 'y'know' between almost every other word. Weirdly not noticeable at first - once you've noticed tho...

'virgin' should be 'wizard' (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 25 February 2010 15:06 (fourteen years ago) link

Wait wait wait but what about British deployments of 'excuse me' to mean 'excyoooze YOU' and 'sorry' to imply 'you should be, get your filthy self out of my way'.

ah now in fairness they're actually great!

quiz show flat-track bully (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 February 2010 15:17 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm always bloody apologising, not in a passive aggressive way, just automatically. Really annoying. Used to bug the hell out of a Scottish friend of mine - 'What the f' are you apologising for? Stop f'ing apologising!'

'Sorry'

the correct retort is a friendly headbutt i believe

Correct.

1) people who wear UGGS
1a) people who wear UGGS in the SNOW

Seriously? It bothers me much more to see them worn in the middle of 100 degree July.

wearing ugg boots in the snow without waterproofing them = savage

the callous sophisticates laughed at judy's wet ugg boots.

People who stand in the left-hand channel of London Underground escalators, particularly when they are in charge of a small, wheelable piece of 'carry-on luggage'.

barack hussein chalayan (suzy), Friday, 26 February 2010 22:22 (fourteen years ago) link

escalators often provide a shocking insight into just how lazy and/or oblivious some able-bodied people are.

People who take small, wheelable pieces of 'carry-on luggage' to and from work.

Ismael Klata, Friday, 26 February 2010 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link

from way above re: smokers. ppl who think your discarded butt in the trash can or in the gas station parking lot is going to cause a fire probably wouldn't be able to light one themselves.

i keep thinking of all the times my mom had to scold me as a child to not do shit like belch in public and how ironic it is as an adult i have to patiently explain to her that civilized people don't talk on their cellphones at a table in a restaurant,

zsockster (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 26 February 2010 22:48 (fourteen years ago) link

imo the most disgusting savages are people who think too much about what constitutes disgusting savagery

Moms and the way they use technology in the 21st Century is a whole world of AAAAAAAAARGH.

People who seat themselves in restaurants and then get all bitchy that no one is waiting on them, that the table they're sitting at is still dirty and has no silverware, etc. etc.

I guess people who put ketchup on sausages, but I've never heard a good reason why you're not supposed to do this. If you're allowed to put ketchup on eggs, why not sausages?

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:17 (fourteen years ago) link

I've never heard anyone suggest you're not supposed to do this. In fact sausages are the only thing I put ketchup on.

people who try to pick a fight where there's no fight to be picked

Hervé Grillechaise (WmC), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link

People who leave smashed pint glasses/bottles in the road thus resulting in unsuspecting cyclists, commuting to work in the early morning gloom, cheerfully looking forward to the treat of deserted 6am Sunday streets, getting punctures, resulting in a pleasant one-hour bike ride becoming a two-hour tussle with three night buses...

are disgusting savages imo.

Although people who aren't carrying a puncture repair kit/spare tyre for these sort of things are a bit stupid too I guess.

People who staple envelopes shut, because obviously no-one will be putting their hands in there afterwards.

People who order a whole huge pile of complicated, substitution-riddled stuff, and then don't tip because it was a to-go order, are disgusting savages.

Seriously. Library people are especially bad about this, because they are too cheap to pay for tape to seal bigger envelopes with. I hate them all.
