This thread is about type of behavior you just cannot stand. I am not talking about racism and Hitler and stuff, no it is about real life things that people do that you just can't stand or do not want to be associated with. Yes this thread will be a venting your frustrations thread.

Let me start it off. I just can't stand that certain person. You know that person when you organize a get together? There is always one person that you have to bend backwards to get them to join. They always have some excuses. And when you did everything they asked, it is still not certain if they will show up. Of course the excuses are always different, but they always come from the same person. I find these people to be immature and not trustworthy. Sure sometimes shit happens, but it seems it always happens to them.

I also can't stand it, if people can't commit on a date, because they are not sure. Jesus Christ how hard can it be?! Check your Agenda and if there is nothing planned, put that thing in there! Then if someone else wants to do something at that time, just say you have already something planned! It is not rocket science people. Do you expect us to wait until the last moment to know if you can make the date?

My advice is just to not let those people waste your time. They are not worth your time.

So what are your frustrations?

People who claim to be sociopaths but take part whole heartedly in dates and organised social get togethers. Hrm

Post of the year!

Me, I don't like rude people. Especially people who love to talk but never let you finish a sentance.

People who are constantly late, like for EVERY single meeting time, ever. You have to almost tell them to arrive an hour earlier to make sure they show up on time.

I would not call them rude, I would call them full of themselves. People that cannot stop talking how great they are. Maybe it is because they really think that they are a special snowflake or perhaps it is because deep down they are uncertain. Either way, they are annoying. I am kinda the opposite, people have to pull out information from me. Most people I know do not know my real name for instance. My line of thinking is: "I already know stuff about me, tell me stuff I do not know!" Of course people are stupid and give me the information I want without forcing my hand.

And no I will not tell you what my real name is.

Yeah, I just tell them a time that is like an hour earlier. And then they wait for you, see how they like it?! If they do not want to be played like a violin, I suggest they actually clean up their act. People that are always late are arrogant, because they expect everyone to wait for them. Next time he/she is late, don't wait for him/her.

I have a friend, he's not arrogant, he's lazy. That's why he's late. He's like Totoro, a huge, sleeping, slumbering beast that turns over once in a while to scratch his butt cheek.

As for people who won't let you finish a sentance it's not so much that they talk about themselves, but they constantly have an opinion but never let you give them yours, they just talk over you or stop you mid-sentance.

Sorry now you are making excuses for him. If he was just lazy and do those stuff by accident, he would come on time on occasion. If he is late each and everytime, then he is arrogant. If he is lazy, he would be late sometime, early some other times and so on. Unless you always make appointments with him early in the morning and he always oversleeps. But if so, that is on you!

Yes, like I said full of themselves. Their opinion matters, they are important and must be heard. Why would someone else speak when they are talking? It does not mean they are talking about themselves, but it does mean that they think highly of themselves.

P.S. why are you spelling sentence as sentance? Am I missing something here?

Lots of things. One of them is rude people. AND especially people who have developed the train of thought that they'll get more from other people by being overbearing, rude or needlessly aggressive. Case in point...



This old dude is loaded with money. Fucking LOADED. He's a businessman, I think, and lives in a very exclusive condo building at Mexico City, this video went viral a couple weeks ago where the old dude is shown assaulting the poor sap that was at the building reception desk at the time. Everything started when the old dude approached the desk to ask someone to get the jack out of the trunk of his Porsche and change a flat tire (someone probably did that because he's an asshole, lol). Things go sour quickly when the guy at the desk tells the old dude that he's not allowed to leave the desk unattended (probably because of other old assholes like this one) and asks the old guy to call the building manager so he can send some help.

Old dude goes postal and starts beating the shit out of desk guy, and he keeps going and going like the energizer bunny, albeit a far creepier, wrinkly version of it.

^That reminds me of a story I read in Neogaf a few weeks ago.

A rich guy was eating in a fancy restaurant and he was dining with some other people.

The waiter brought over the bill without his consent, so he grabbed the waiter's hand and broke his finger to teach him a lesson. Crazy, but cool in a very twisted way.

Also I after reading your description of the video, I expected worse. You disappoint me yet again Steel.

I need to be able to plus this post more.

I am actually late to everything guy. I hate being early, I never want to be first to any party.

What I don't like is everything has to be scheduled way in advanced guy. Someone who wants to know the exact time everything will happen like a week in advance. This is not for a party, this is for simple things like hanging out or going to a movie. Its not that important, you are not my job, we can basically wing it the day of.

That only works if you have no life whatsoever. Nyaa

On more serious note, that works if you have flexible friends and the group is small. If you try to organize a get together with a bigger group you have to do it like weeks in advance. In Holland even when kids play with each other it needs to be done like weeks in advance. Kids, have full schedules right now. Go to 4 different sports, have piano lessons and maybe if you have a hour free you play with your friends.

How easy it was when I was little. You just rang the door and asked if he wanted to play outside. No wonder people use facebook and twitter now, they are always busy and moving around. They don't get to spontaneously hang out and chill. They are always busy and on the road. Facebook and the smartphone is a tool to stay in touch when you are moving about. It is ironic that in a day that we are more connected than ever before, we are the loneliest we have ever been.

Also people that use their smartphones to be on facebook while physically being in a get together with other people, can die in a fire.

To take another approach to this than "these people", I hate smart phones.  People constantly looking at their phones at every opportunity.  Walking, in the elevator, in line at a store; basically anything where you have to have the unbearable wait of a whole 20 seconds.

But it's worst with people who are texting -- while they have friends in the same room.  Hey, there's somebody RIGHT HERE.  GIVE IT A REST.
