What''s the rudest thing that''s happened to you in public?

[Lauren8211]

I had the rudest person today while FF and I were out shopping for our Halloween costumes. We live in Ann Arbor, and there was an important football rivalry game, so traffic was AWFUL! We stopped into a costume store, and the parking lot was packed, which is weird, because its a small strip mall. Regardless, we finally found a spot, went in, took care of our business and went back out to the car.

The parking lot was a dead end so when you get to the last spot, you have to turn around to get out. FF and I got the last spot at the very end, and when we come back out, someone is directly behind our spot, parking us in, and 2 other cars. We''re all standing there trying to figure out how to get out, and since there''s a pizza place right there, I looked to see if the person was in there, and they weren''t. So another girl and I standing right there decide to go into the costume shop and she yells outloud "Is the person with the white vehicle blocking everyone in in this store?" The woman says yes, and she''s in a long line to buy a costume. "Can you move your car, please? You''re blocking everyone in." THe woman says "NO, I''ll be no more than 10 minutes" and the girl talking to her gets all passive and says under her breath "Ok, well then everyone will just wait for you then..." in a sarcastic tone.

But I have a rocking case of PMS that day, and I find this to be INCREDIBLY rude, so I say "Why should we have to wait for you when we all waited patiently to find a parking spot without blocking everyone in?" she says "Well i have kids (there were NO kids with her, or in the car) and I waited for 5 minutes for a spot and couldnt find one, so I''m parking there" so I said "Ok, so then I will call the police" she tried to call me out and said "FINE. Call them!" I said "OK" and started walking out the door.

She throws down her costume on the floor, and starts yelling at me out the door. She''s like "You are an F''ING B! A RUDE F''ing B!" and yells that repeatedly at me while going at her car. I say "You can call me whatever you like, but you''re still going to move your car!" So she continues on with "I''ll call you what you ARE! You''re an F''ing B!"

She gets into her car, whips out of the parking lot, and speeds down the road. I don''t know if she was trying to make a point or what, but she could''ve just not freaked out at me, and just taken one of the spots of the THREE people that were blocked in by her. All she had to do in the first place was say "Oh, I''m sorry, that was me blocking you in. Let me move my car and take your spot" Instead she screams and swears at me in front of groups of people.

Weird.

Anyone ever had anyone freak out like that before??

 

[SailorsSweet<3]

YES! I''ve had people steal parking spots from me twice where I was sitting waiting for a parked car to back out with my blinker on and the other car sneaks in while the parked car is turning to drive away. When I confronted the one woman about it she said she''d followed the owner of said parked car all the way from the beach and she''d dropped off her children there so she needed the spot and she didnt appreciate me trying to steal it from her. Funny thing though... she didnt get to the spot where the parked car was reversing until it was nearly all the way out of the space and I had already been sitting there since the driver had sat in his car and started the ignition. Also - if you had kids why would you leave them by themselves at a public beach to go follow a man to what you assume is parking space down the road? What if he was walking back to his beach house? Same thing in your case - if this woman had kids where were they? Oh they were sitting at home so that gives her the right to double park and block cars in because she''s given birth to offspring - yea I cant remember that being in my drivers ed booklets.. hmm? And if her children were with her what kind of example is she setting? Some people are just disappointing as adults

 

[dragonfly411]

elledizzy - someone needed to put on her big girl panties. I''m sorry that happened to you, you are not an fing b, nor rude SHE was the one who was rude.

I once had a woman try to tell me what MY budget was. I was working at a bookstore at the time and had gotten these tuned wind chimes for my grandmother for christmas. The woman was looking at the same windchimes in the store and I said "Oh I got those as a gift for my grandparents, they are fantastic". She turned to me and said "THESE?" "yes those!" again "These wind chimes right here??". I looked and looked at another pair similar and said "well it was either that one or those but they''re about the same so I''d have to check the number on mine" and she says " OH well that would make more sense, those over there are more in your price range aren''t they?" I looked at her incredulously, went over and rang the chimes, and said "It actually WAS these, have a nice day" and didn''t help her, let the other person help her. HOW RUDE

 

[neatfreak]

Elledizzy, I would have done the same thing honey! THAT woman was the rude one. I get so so annoyed with people who park others in/steal parking spots and then are surprised and rude when they call them out on it!

I usually park far away to try and avoid dealing with it in the first place, because despite my hatred of confrontation I WILL call them out on it! Good for you.

And as someone who is VERY pregnant with twins right now, I have to say that I get even more annoyed when rude people try and use their children as an excuse to be rude!!! I don't know about them, but I want my kids to learn to be polite and to respect others.

 

[diamondfan]

I would have done the same thing. She could have asked someone nicely to hold her spot in line while she moved her car. She had no right to block anyone in, that is NOT okay. I would have told her fine, stay in line, and I will just call the police to have your car towed. I would no way have stood there waiting for her to buy her costumes. What a rude and obnoxious person. Why is she more important that she can be rude like that?

 

[iluvcarats]

Wow! She was rude! But sometimes when I encounter someone like that, I don''t bait them, because you never know. You hear these random stories of people being killed over parking spots, road rage , ect. Some people are NUTS! You never know. If they give you the wacky vibe, they are probably looking for a fight.
Sometimes it''s just not worth it. Not everyone is playing with a full deck.

 

[Amanda.Rx]

Elledizzy- WOAH!! I would be livid too. At least you didn''t do something stupid like key her car or get into a fist fight- it could have been worse, I guess... and... at least she was in the store and not off at the football game!

I''m sorry that happened to you!

I work in a pharmacy, and as you know, things get really confusing, especially for the older folks on 10+ medications. Well, an elderly lady called me one day, wanting to get ALL of her medications refilled at the same time. So, I was going through her profile, seeing what I could and could not refill. Some things had no more refills and I personally offered to call her doctor''s office to request one (which we normally do NOT do), some medications were controls, which we cannot refill early, be LAW, and others were too early, and the insurance comapany won''t pay for them if they are filled early. Soooooo many hoops and loops!

Anyways, I was on the phone with this lady for over 1/2 an hour trying to bend over backwards to get her medications in line. I was very understanding, and trying my best to explain the problems to her. I did everything I could to keep all of her medications together, called the doctor, processed her whole order, wrote down which medications could be filled on what exact dates- (by the time it was all said and done, I had spend over an hour and 1/2 of my day just helping this ONE lady).

So, she comes to the pharmacy the next day to pick her stuff up. She comes to the counter and is talking to one of the other techs, asks "Who is Amanda?" The tech points me out, and then the lady proceeds to complain about me to the other technician, saying "You guys need to talk to her- she just doesn''t understand anything I was trying to say, and she didn''t do anything to help me!"

I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO MAD! The pharmacist went out there and RE-explained everything I told her on the phone, and then she was OK with it...

UGH! Way to get your blood pressure up, huh?

 

[diamondfan]

there is no way to know who is off their rocker or not, or who might totally not get that you are in the right or that you are trying to help them.

I also hate when someone in a store is rude to YOU, and acts all bent out of shape when expected to do their job and provide customer service. In this economy especially, when I can chose not to buy at all or go elsewhere, to me, salespeople should know to be polite, even if they cannot accomodate you.

 

[iluvcarats]

I know a lot of people with a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and you would never know they had it. (unless of course it was in your face)

 

[KatM]

people are insane. i''m sorry that happened, but good for you for sticking up for yourself!

SO and i are LD right now, and once during a visit (he arrived the night before, we were going out to breakfast/lunch) we went to friday''s to eat. the place was pretty much completely empty because it was a saturday, late morning. for some reason, the hostess seated us less than 2 feet from another group of 4 women and a small baby (i get wanting to keep people in the same section when things are slow, but this was a bit ridiculous). the women were talking at a reasonable level and the baby kept making those random shrieks that babies make when they''re happy. it wasn''t annoying, but it was a bit hard to hear and i felt self conscious trying to catch up with him, with a group of strangers that could hear every single thing we said. we didn''t give them dirty looks or anything, we just quietly asked the waitress if we could move to another table a bit away for some privacy. all of the sudden, as we''re sitting down at the new table, a lady from the other table yells across the restaurant, "WHAT IF WE TALKED REALLY, REALLY LOUDLY?!!?!!"

i had no snappy comeback, but i definitely gave them an intense WTF look. people just need to chill out.

 

[Haven]

Elle--OY VEY! I can''t believe that woman was so rude. Well, I suppose I can believe it because people are very rude nowadays, but what an uncomfortable situation. Sorry you had to go through that, I''m sure you were feeling off the rest of the day because of it.

The rudest thing that ever happened to me in public happened in a Metra train station. I had just gotten off the train with my ex and a friend, it was probably around 6 PM, and if you''ve ever taken a commuter train you know that the commuters who get off the train all race to their cars to try to get out of the lot first because there''s always a long line. WELL, the three of us were walking at a normal pace down the aisle to our cars, and a very elderly woman in a huge black boat of a car pulled up very close behind us and started honking her horn. We were not in the middle of the aisle at all, we were walking right along the backs of the parked cars as anyone does when they''re walking to their parked car. It was a very wide lane and she could have easily gone around us.

Well, we just kept walking because we couldn''t exactly get out of her way any more than we already were, so after a minute or so of tailgaiting us (remember, we were PEDESTRIANS!) she lurched her car forward and hit us all in the back of our legs with her front end. Yes. She hit us. We didn''t fall or anything, but it was definitely intentional.

She was a crazy person, I''m convinced. We called the cops, although I don''t know what happened to her because after she hit us she swerved around us and sped out of the lot. She was screaming something at us the entire time, too, but I don''t know what because it was in another language.

Intentionally hitting pedestrians with your car = RUDE.

Wow. I am speechless.

 

[princesss]

I really don''t know what it is about people and their cars! I personally HATE it when people take up multiple spaces to "protect" their car. I actually managed to call somebody out on it who parked right in front of my apartment as I was coming home one night ("Hey, sir, you might want to straighten out your car so that the people who live here can park, too."). He at least seemed slightly ashamed, but then you get people like the guy we saw at the movie theater a while back.

BF and I went to the midnight release of The Dark Knight (because I''m a huge Batman dork). We tried to find a parking spot, and thought we saw one. We went to park, and there was a bright blue Mustang parked on the corner of 4 spaces. 4.

We found another spot, pretty close to the Mustang, and we were pretty annoyed. But we went into the movie, grabbed some snacks, and forgot all about it. The movie ended around 2:30, and there was a huge group of people leaving (there were 10 screenings at that theater alone), and as we get to the car, what do we see? The Mustang''s 17-year-old owner and 3 of his friends. People had parked all around them, and the kid was completely blocked in. I guess everybody assumed he was being a jerk, but he was there to see Batman, so it wasn''t going to be a big deal. Turns out his movie ended at 12:15, so he''d been out there for 2 hours and couldn''t get out. He started screaming at everybody about how rude and inconsiderate they''d been, and how he couldn''t believe how entitled people are, thinking they can just do whatever they want.

I, personally, couldn''t stop laughing.

Anyways, sorry, that was a bit of a random tangent. I''m sorry the lady went nutso on you, but good for you for making her move. I would have done the same thing.

 

[neatfreak]

Princesss That is AWESOME. Love it. That is one circumstance when I could justify parking someone in!

 

[glitterazzi]

OOooooo.... I can''t STAND those people who just think they are so entitled and above everyone else! I live in a county that is ranked nationwide as one of the wealthiest - although a small portion of the population add all that much to that wealth - in other words, a small percentage of my county make up some of the wealthiest in the nation. So we have a LOT of drivers who are pretty sure their luxury SUV deserves 10x more consideration than anyone else... and they own the streets. I can''t say I have a parking instance - although a friend of mine does - I''ll let her share.

My experience was not even necessarily public - it was in an annual review at work. My boss and her husband (the CFO) had a rough beginning (as 18 y/o newly weds with 3 kids can) and had scraped and climbed their way into a plush lifestyle. So - I''m in my annual review debating my salary review and giving my arguments for a raise - you know, cost of living, hours in addition to the std 40 put in each week, etc. My boss''s husband - the CFO of this company suddenly went on an outraged rant about how I didn''t deserve anything I had and he was going to do his darnedest to make me work as hard as he did for anything I get. He went on to tell me how awful a job my father did in raising me if I thought I could start working right out of college and he would pay me what non-grads had to work twice as long to get. He told me he thought I needed to sell my car and buy something for the price he paid for his first car ($800 to be exact) - that he didn''t approve of my living arrangements, and if I wanted more from the company I needed to adjust my lifestyle first to meet how they thought I should live. I was completely dumbstruck. When he finished I told him my possessions and lifestyle were not of his concern - my work ethic and performance were the issue at hand, and unless he knew me personally when I was younger, and watched my dad raise me he didn''t have any right to speak on the subject. Had I not needed that measly salary at that time I would have told him to go F*ck himself and walked out right then.

Pretty much the entire thing made clear the fact that he planned on making me, if not everyone else, pay for the effects of his choices. I don''t have anything against someone who gets married immediately after HS graduation and immediately starts having children for the next 3 years! More power to you - but it lends itself to a different life path than the kid who goes to college and is single until she''s almost 30 - neither better nor worse, just different - and he shouldn''t hold me accountable for those differences... GRR!

needless to say I don''t work there any more - and I''m not sorry!

 

[Tuckins1]

Ahahaha!! What a bi*%h!! Doesn''t surprise me at all... People are such a-holes.

 

[Lauren8211]

LOL. OMG this thread is hilarious. I can''t believe how rude people can be!

I posted my story this morning and was gone all day and then I got to come back and read all these crazy stories.

Makes me feel better about my own. Haha.

 

[Lauren8211]

Oh, and Haven, I think that goes beyond rude to assault. My goodness! I would've lost my S&%$!

And princesss - That is AWESOME! Feels so good when people get what they deserve. It's almost like road rage that you're allowed to act out.

 

[ckrickett]

this didn''t happen to me but to a coworker, and if it did happen to me I would have flipped.

I''m a bartender and I work with waitresses and a women had a talbe and the man was almost out of water, what would you want your server to do, well fill it up of course, which is what she offered to do. when she went to grab the glass he slapped her hand and gave her a snarky remark about how he wasn''t finished and she should have seen that. I saw the whole thing, the poor girl looked like she was ready to cry.

If he had done that to me I would have been fired because I would have slappped him back and his dinner would have been in his lap.

Oh, it was definitely assault. I''m ashamed to say that my ex threw a huge plastic soda cup at her car as she sped off. It was embarrassing, and I know he did it out of extreme shock, but it doesn''t make it better. I think I kind of stood there with my mouth wide open trying to memorize her plates.

 

[luckystar112]

lol these stories are crazy.

Elle- Seriously, how freaking rude! You've got guts. I never dare to confront people because I'm afraid they might be crazy.

iluvcarats- I hear ya.

DF: Some salespeople are insane. I was in a store the other day looking at accessories. I asked a sales woman if the necklaces on display were the only ones they had. She goes, "Yes. That's ALL we have." But she said it like I pissed her off or something!

KatM: Being sat right next to another table in an otherwise empty restaurant is a huge pet peeve of mine too. But I especially hate it when the parents think that the restaurant is the child's personal playground.

Haven: There are no words.

Princess: Hilarious. I can't STAND it when people take more than one space for their vehicle. Get over yourselves!

Glitter, do we have the same boss? lol

DH and I are very rarely confrontational. I once confronted a woman with a cart full of groceries in the 20 items or less line. I was managing a restaurant at the time (As a manager I had to learn to bite my tongue a LOT.), in the middle of a busy lunch shift, and was in a hurry! We had run out of something, which is why I was there. She didn't take it well. Said that half of the groceries belonged to her daughter, who was about 11.

That's why I always let people with less items go ahead of me now.


One time a guy went on a rampage to DH. We were at a loading dock to go fishing, trying to get our boat in, and apparently we had accidentally cut some people off. There was a line, which was only two boats, but we didn't know it was for the dock. This guy seriously FLIPPED out on us. Came stomping over to our truck and hit the window, then started calling DH every expletive in the book. DH is an extremely calm, rational person so I think the guy felt like an idiot when DH didn't even flinch and instead apologized.

I think some of the rudest things people do don't even have to be confrontational. After hurricane Ike DH spent a whole weekend rebuilding our fence that we share with a neighbor and cutting down the broken limbs on their tree. Still haven't gotten a thank you. The other neighbor put all their debris on our yard.

But the most rude person I've ever met was during a job interview. She didn't like me from the moment she saw me and proceeded to tell me so directly. It was for a job as a teller at a bank and she thought that I should have worn a suit to the interview. Fine. My bad. Looking back on it, I agree but I didn't know any better and thought that regular ole' professional attire would do the trick. Then she went on to tell me that I didn't grip her hand tight enough when she shook it and I didn't look her straight in the eyes. I thought I was at a job interview, but apparently I was at "interview 101".

I didn't get the job, obviously, but looking back I REALLY wish I would have let her have it.I remember after that interview I sat in my car and cried in the parking lot. I was so humiliated.

Off-topic, but I think one of the rudest things girls do, as females, is not check the toilet before they leave a stall in a public restroom.

 

[Lauren8211]

Luckystar, the funny thing is that I do NOT have guts. I have no idea why I felt like taking a stand that day, but I am extremely passive. FF said he''s never been so proud of me. I have to say, it felt good.

This woman really did deserve it though. There is nothing I can''t stand more than people who think they''re more important than other people. Where do you get off? Seriously.

Your interview story was awful! I would''ve cried in my car too. Then you get that hindsight anger thinking about all the things you SHOULD have said. So irritating!

 

[Bia]

Some of the nastiest people I ever encounter are usually in parking lots...

[elrohwen]

These stories are ridiculous! And Haven, did the police ever do anything? Were you able to get her plates?

Some of the admins at work were really rude to me the other day. I was expecting a fax and hadn't seen it all day. Now, when I used to sit downstairs, the admin in that area would collect any faxes and put them on people's desks, so I thought maybe the admins on my new floor had collected the faxes and hadn't delivered them yet. So I turn and ask them if they had seen my fax. They both stared at me and one of them made a snarky reply like "We don't touch the faxes, you have to get it yourself. We don't have time for that." To recover I said something like "Oh, I was just asking because the admin downstairs collects them all so I thought maybe you had seen it." Then they make some remark like "Well, maybe you should ask her to be your admin." Excuse me?

I didn't even know what to say. It's even worse because our department is pretty tightly knit and I've known these admins for a long time (even though I just moved up to this floor) so to respond like that when I was asking a simple question was ridiculous. If they had been strangers I would've said something, but under the circumstances I figured it was better to just walk away.

The ironic thing is that I got another fax later that day and someone (I don't know who) felt nice enough to put it in my mailbox where I would see it. I still wonder if one of them did it to make up for being jerks, but it could've just been someone else who saw it sitting on the fax and thought they would be nice and put it where I would see it.

I also had a fax on my desk this morning when I came back from being out all last week. Weird.


Oh, and Luckystar's grocery store story reminded me of one that happened last year. It was a really busy day before Thanksgiving and I got in line behind this woman who must've had $300-400 in groceries; her cart was absolutely packed. The cashier was a small elderly woman and the bagger was clearly disabled and could only pack things very slowly. The shopper was on her cellphone the entire time and whenever the bagging area would fill up with groceries, instead of helping the poor bagger put things into the cart, she just stood there yapping on her cellphone. It really burns me when people can't even help with their own stuff! Especially when it's obvious that the cashier and bagger are having a hard time. At the very least she could've used her non-phone holding hand to pick up some bags and put them in cart. It probably took 25min to fill that cart up because they had to stop scanning every time the bagging area filled up and the bagger would have to slowly load the bags into the cart one at a time. Myself and the people behind me in line gave the woman dirty looks, but none of us said anything ... We just made sure to be super helpful when it was our turn in line.

 

[Haven]

el--We got her plates, but we never heard anything from the police after the incident so I''m assuming nothing happened. Apparently, you can hit people with your car and get away with it as long as you don''t do any actual physical damage.

These stories are awful.

[sunnyd]

I got a million stories from working retail so long (I think everyone needs to work retail once in their lives to get perspective...maybe realize that not everyone caters to them?!?!

anyway...) but here's a good one.

I was at the grocery store behind these people. Wife forgets something, so she goes to find it and leaves hubs at the checkout. 5 minutes pass, hubs goes to find wife. Cashier is standing there waiting for another 5 mins. She finally suspends the transaction and starts ringing us up. 10 minutes later, hubs and wife come back and try to get in front of us, thinking that after being gone for 10 minutes they can just continue on with their transaction!!!

I didn't say anything...to them anyway

...but the cashier told them to get in the back of the line, which had grown since they left. Yeah! I love when people get put in their place.



One time while working, an older man came in to return something and left. A few hours later, he came back to the store to buy the thing he returned. (

) It had been sold already and there were none left in the store. So he proceeds to call us liars, that we were hiding the item from him. He started swearing at the cashier, banging a sledgehammer on the counter. A manager finally came over and had the guy escorted out, while he was yelling at the cashier that his son was going to come back to kick his ass

. He then went out to his truck and dropped his pants.

No joke.
