Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

lex otm

lex wtf

as in you didnt eat the baby

ppl who ask for their bagels "scooped out"

unban chaki

bosses who playfully refer to their employees as "champ" or "tiger" or "buddy" or (especially) "boss".

people who work on commission who get into super-aggro "always be closing" salesman mode when you tell them no. when i say no to something, i'm usually pretty confident in my answer.

i remember working in retail and being told that the customer had to say no three times before you could stop trying to push the product on them (in that case, the store credit card, which was a complete ripoff).

yeah, that's fucked, especially if you've already committed to buying something, and the salesperson won't stop pushing additional price-elevating features. you've already made your sale, and I don't want your cupholders/warranty/glare-resistant lenses.

i remember reading about a restaurant where the chef told the waitstaff "if we don't sell out of this special by the end of the night, you're fired." i never order the special -- someone on that waitstaff would be fucked!

or worse, employees who refer to customers as "boss". i'm not your fucking boss and if i were, you wouldn't work here.

Recruitment consultants. Subhuman scum.

Yeah this is usually down to pressure from above. It's frustrating for all parties.

Motorists who obtruct your smooth passage into merging traffic lanes b/c they seemingly can't live with the idea of being one car length behind on their obviously very urgent course of travel - these people are fucking savages.

people do not understand the traffic zipper, people are stupid

The dudes who yelled at me on my bike the other night, and then RAN AFTER ME, although obv with no idea what they were going to do if they caught up. Go home and apologize to the wolves who raised you for making them ashamed of their offspring today. Jesus christ.

whaaaat!?

Just kids. I didn't speed up or anything, one of them could probably have reached out and touched me for a sec before he gave up.

people who can't wait five seconds to go through the turnstile but instead leave the subway station via the emergency exit, thus setting off the piercing alarm

(obvs if you're pushing a stroller then carry on)

ppl posting ilm threads to ilx

er to ile, rather

tho either way tbh

Smokers who walk down the street with a lit cigarette pointing out and away from their body, while they are so absorbed in texting that they can't be bothered to lift their head up to see where they are walking. Thanks for the burn, asshole. Hope that lung cancer kicks in soon.

Maybe that's extreme, but I still think you're an asshole. Hope you get a nasty coughing fit for the rest of the day.

ppl who call refer to themselves as evolved/enlightened.

Anyone who regularly says, or even types out, the word "squee" as an exclamation of excitement.

I don't do it ALL the time

lol, i really only posted it here because of a friend on FB and Twitter that uses it at least four times a day

four squee and seven yores ago

how many yores in a squee?

bosses who ask their employees for help by saying, "can I grab you?" or "can I steal you?" or "can I borrow you for a second?" as if you are an animated office tool, a humanoid 3-hole punch. I want to respond snarkily, "yes, you can borrow me, but please could you oil my hinges and empty my chad trap and leave me in the middle desk door when you're done?" I'm sure they're just trying to be friendly and whimsical, but it comes across as really really dehumanizing.

I got a "can I steal you for a second to pick your brain?" this morning from Boss Savage.

Middle-aged guy who took out his "Ready-to-Use ENEMA" from his duane reade bag and started examining it ON THE SUBWAY.

Social media marketing types who refer to themselves as gurus or storytellers.

Generally in their own twitter bios.

Mr. Rutherford’s busiest reviewer was Brittany Walters-Bearden, now 24, a freelancer who had just returned to the United States from a stint in South Africa. She had recently married a former professional wrestler, and the newlyweds had run out of money and were living in a hotel in Las Vegas when she saw the job posting.

Ms. Walters-Bearden had the energy of youth and an upbeat attitude. “A lot of the books were trying to prove creationism,” she said. “I was like, I don’t know where I stand, but they make a solid case.”

For a 50-word review, she said she could find “enough information on the Internet so that I didn’t need to read anything, really.” For a 300-word review, she said, “I spent about 15 minutes reading the book.” She wrote three of each every week as well as press releases. In a few months, she earned $12,500.

“There were books I wished I could have gone back and actually read,” she said. “But I had to produce 70 pieces of content a week to pay my bills.”

Ugh, my rage-o-meter is off the charts right now, thanks to the disgusting savage that works at a small college in my building. My office is on the 5th floor, this college is on the 3rd, 7th, and 8th floors. I come back from lunch and get on the elevator to head back to the office. The doors open at 3rd and this lady immediately just charges into the elevator with a rolling cart full of boxes. She sees me, but keeps charging ahead anyway, pinning me in the back corner of the elevator. I tell her, "hey, there's someone in here, can you wait for another one?" and she just goes, "no" and keeps forcing the cart in. Eventually I am pinned completely up against the wall, unable to move, my arms pressed against my chest and one leg twisted in an unnatrual position, from trying to avoid the cart as she barrelled in with it. So I have to ride all the way up to the 8th and wait for her to manuever the cart out again before I can move at all, let alone head back down to my floor. Ugh.

Lady, fuck you. I hope karma destroys the rest of your week.

Frank Turner.

I would have shoved her and her cart right back out into the hallway. Fuck that bullshit.

I was pushing back! But unfortunately my position in the elevator wasn't affording me enough leverage to overcome her inertia from barrelling full speed down the hall.

I'm still so infuriated by this, just more pissed off by how impotent I was after this happened. Like, part of me wanted to scream at this moron for what she did, but what good would that have done?

Man, the more I sit with this, the more pissed off I get.

why is this bothering you so much?!

I'm trying to figure that out myself, but I suppose its the psychological piece of it that someone literally forced me into a corner in a small, enclosed space with willful disregard for me. I think its okay to be angry about it, I just wish there was a way to make the anger productive.

Also, I guess its just that I try to lead my life in a way that I'm very cognizant of how my actions might impact or influence someone else that I'm baffled by people who are unable to do the same. I think it would've been a tiny bit easier to swallow if she had at least offerend an apology.

it's ok that you're angry, but it seems like you're not quite as mad at her for doing something insensitive as you are at yourself for letting it get under your skin

i dunno, it reminds me of a time when i was asked to decorate a bulletin board by someone who didn't remember my name. i was just totally enraged (for a while!) until i realized that i was mad because he was being supermachista and condescending, not that i was angry about having to decorate a bulletin board.

that is to say that ultimately you're mad because someone has not extended you the same courtesy that you believe yourself to extend regularly?

not only regularly, but as a rule

I think there are two parts to it, I'm angry I was trapped in an elevator by a towering stack of boxes and angry that the person that caused this situation is carrying with her day with either no clue or no care about how she impacted someone else.

you don't know that
maybe she's skulking around with shame right now, or posting to the internet about how she offended this guy on the elevator
