Rudeness

2009 July 16

I had to deliver some Modems & Routers to a local computer store. It’s always hard to get a parking space on their busy city centre street.

Oh yeah great, the Loading Zone is free when the Google Earth Street View Camera Car goes past. Good one Google, typical Global Giant, make the little guy look like a liar.

Therefore, I always go to their customer carpark at the rear of the store which only small & is also shared by several other shops.

When I arrived there last Friday all the parking spaces were taken. There was a rich looking woman in some flashy expensive car double parked behind another car which was in front of the store’s rear entry. An employee was helping her load a computer into the back seat of her car. As they were chatting & I was only gunna be quick I parked right behind her & said “I’ll only be a minute”.

I delivered the carton & the employee was just coming back in as I was leaving the store. I returned to my delivery ute.(Short for utility, which is what we call a pickup truck)

The rich cow frowned at me as I walked past her. Being the nice kinda guy that I am I politely said to her, “Sorry for holding you up, I was just making a quick delivery”. (Remember that she was parked behind someone else too)

She rudely replied snarled “You should be sorry for your poor parking skills”.

Unbelievable!!!

I had my phonespycam so I snapped a quick photo of her…

nasty 

I bit my tongue & said nothing in reply. Instead I just glared at her with the piercing stare of death, got in my vehicle & left. I really could’ve done with some help from Margaret’s Dalek right about then

This is just one example of people’s rudeness which I seem to come across so often.

Aren’t so many peoples attitudes & manners so rude, arrogant & obnoxious these days??? I’m sure most if not all of  those reading this have had many similar experiences.

I think it takes more effort to be rude & horrible to someone than to just be polite. What do you think??? What examples of people’s rudeness have you encountered lately????

    Rudeness doesn’t disturb me. I just kick them in the shins and run.

    I think it was nice of you to take her picture from her “good side”. Being rude simply isn’t worth the effort. What do we get in return – a few extra wrinkles?

    My mom was talking just today about some guy who parked right behind her so she couldn’t get out at the computer store.

    If she looked like that, not only would I not park her in but I’d give her a handicapped parking spot! Yikes! Dennis is right. Run away!!

    She was probably just rude to you because you held her up for 5 seconds in her quest to be obnoxious and arrogant somewhere else.
    Someone somewhere is thanking you for those 5 seconds.

    It’s too bad you’re not into swearing. I love swearing at nasty older women. I just love the look of shock that crosses their faces as they are treated like men instead of women.

    I’m so sick and tired of people who think they can act badly because they think that no one is going to knock their lights out. Strangely enough, I’ve found men in general, to be politer, and I think it’s because they know that they will get decked for their transgressions.

      So true, teenagers are another bunch of obnoxious little snots but most of them know if you touch them you will be in more trouble than it’s worth. I knew a bloke when I lived in Sydney who decked a loudmouth teenager who made a vulgar remark about his wife as they walked past. They followed him home at a distance & the next thing he had the police at his house, got arrested & ended up in court facing assault charges. Cost him hundreds of dollars in fines & a police record.
