The crankiest person you've ever encountered.

Sergeant

I was in a filling station in Galway this afternoon, queuing at the counter to pay for petrol. Was in good old form; decided to pick up a bottle of Lucozade and Deep Purple was being played on the radio in the shop.

There was this wretched looking bint at the counter - fake blonde hair, more wrinkles than an octogenarians ballsack, and an arse like two refuse bags filled with chicken gizzards. She was a classic crank.

She complained about the fact that the handle on the pump was greasy, that the lanes between the pumps were too narrow and that she had gotten wet going from her car to the shop (approx 3 metres). She then complained about the length of time it was taking for the credit/laser payment to go through. She was burning up for the want of an argument. Lots of extravagant hand gestures, raising of her voice, and looking around her at the queue of slightly embarrassed folks behind her.

She was as vicious a crank as I've seen in quite some time, and the girl serving her didn't go for the bait.

So have you any examples of cranky bastards you've had to deal with, or seen in your day to day lives?

There's loads of them on Boards.

Sometimes I'm one of them!

Whilst walking back to my car through the car park, I get honked at, this fella shouts out of the window of his car..' Hey, use the footpath'....turned to face this little fcukwit and said 'their isnt one'....queue him mouth open, didnt know what to say....as their wasnt one!!!!....and then in what seemed 30 minute delay of thinking of a good retort said to me 'not my problem is it'....he was fair pissed off.....laughed my head off........

flutterflye

This has nothing to do with anything, but earlier I got the pump completely wedged in the car. Very embarrassing.

Regarding cranks.
I worked in tescos when I was 16, and this lady got so angry about her deli chicken being priced incorrectly, that she threw this massive chicken at the deli girl's head and stormed off.

About a week later, a different old lady threw a toothbrush at my friend.

Stoopid oul wans.

Most chefs I've worked with are cranky bastards. Anything that goes slightly wrong you don't hear the end of their whining for days even weeks.

Can't help but hear that in a old granny voice. Quality line.

I have a carbon copy version of that except we were deemed as a bunch of animals.

I sympathise with the greasy pump, every time I get diesel the pump is filthy, why is there diesel all over the handle.

I reckon some people just go around looking for the imperfctions in world and like bitching about them.

There's complaining and there's complaining.

I remember this bitch on some reality restaurant show complaining that her water was too cold.

I think I would have brought it back to her with a turd in it.

The librarians in the Hamilton Library in Trinity. I've never met any group of people so unhelpful and stoney faced in my life.

(I use to work as a care assistant so I have dealt with cranky pants's at times but I'd usually be able to break them down and have a laugh with them. Was a bit of a challenge for me.)

I wished one of the librarians a Happy Christmas last year and she nearly choked on the chocolate that she had just lobbed in her mouth. She didn't know what to say back!

ballsymchugh

it's usually ould wans that don't take off their coats and tinted glassed (not quite sunglasses) when they're inside.

when i was in college, one of our lecturers put up a photo of one and warned us that they're the worst patient you can meet. he wasn't wrong.

MungBean

Walkin down the road one day and seen an old man cycling towards me, noticed it was the old farmer that live a few houses away so I says "Howya Tom" as he passed by. He almost fell off the bike he turned so quickly, grinding his teeth an lookin like he wanted to kill me and roared "WHAT?".

****tin myself (I was about 12-13ish at the time) I says meek as a kitten "Just said hello". I dont know how or why but it seemed to make him angrier and he said "You keep your fukin mouth shut ya little bastard and dont fukin bother me with your bullshít". I squeaked an apology and half walked half jogged home almost in tears.

Seen him since and he's always kinda grumpy but never like he was that day, never knew what his problem was and fuked if I was gonna ask him.

Duggy747

When I worked in a newsagents this cranky old relic of a woman used to come in complaining about everything. She'd whinge about the width of a piece of grass if it tickled her fancy.

One day, she came up to me complaining about the cabbages. She would pick them up, show them to me and point out their flaws as if I personally grew them and had tried to flog her brussel sprouts.

So, I go down the back to the fridge to get out the freshest looking one there (I'm no gardener but I know a good head of cabbage when I see it) and show it to her...........to which she replied with vile acid of abuse spewing from her mouth of a thousand wrinkles about how rotten it looked and the shop was a disgrace.

So I go back to the fridge, stood there still holding the cabbage I 1st brought out thinking what to say to the old biddy since the other cabbages wouldn't have been satisfactory to her standards.

I decided to go out to her and tell her that the 1st cabbage (which I was still holding) was the best one we had.................but before I did she looks at it and says "That's more fùckin' like it! and buys it.

Some people just love to cause a fuss...............the cùnts.

Amen! Been 8 years since I studied there, but it would seem that nothing has changed. Almost like they knew they couldn't be fired or something.

Kojak

The crankiest person I ever met has to be my boss at work - absolutly obsessed with the job and is in shít form every friday as there will be 2 days without any work being done. Conversely he is as happy as a pig in shít on Mondays... :rolleyes:

Honestly, I do not know what their problem is as the librarians in the Health Science library are completely the opposite!!

Could nevr understand why people who work in such services seem to hate the people who are the very reason they have a job i.e. the service users!

Do You have a Librocop in that library? I think every college has one


My own contribution: one of my neighbours, she's a fcuking moany bitch. For at least the last 15 years on and off (I've known her for much longer than that though), she's moaned at the stupidest things.

Yeah, I think there's one in the Arts library but he's not the same as the Librocop in UCD. He is proper Librocop. Has a limp and all! Puts the fear of God into you!

dienbienphu

this happend to me one day when i was working in a carpark. i stopped a lady at the carpark entrance and i asked her where she was going and she looked at me and said ''where the hell do you think im going, the hospital, did you not see my uniform?'' I said to her that i didnt see her parking ticket on the window and that she was driving too fast for me to see her uniform. I demanded she show me her i.d. cause i was bull red and totally humiliated at this point. I explained to her that it was necessary for me to stop people and ask them where they were going in order to prevent people from parking in the staff carpark (indirectly doing her an effing favour). She responded with '' oh im dead late'' and didnt even apologise. She was a grade A c.unt.

Sounds like my neighbours back home :pac:

I swear most of them have some kind of mood disorder, one day they'll talk, the next they would almost drive over ya in temper.

A few weeks ago i was driving down the road at home, neighbour out moving cattle, but all the cattle were in the field, none on the road. I drove by, cautiously, and as i drove by him, i rolled down the window to say hello. I was met with a tirade of abuse, and his son standing there, mortifying.

Thankfully i moved away from rural ireland

I used to work in a supermarket and some of the cranks you'd come across... One woman once gave me a five minute dressing down because the price of chickens had increased by a euro. For five minutes she called me and the company I worked for a 'load of thieving jews'. If I were a Jew I would have headbutted her.

OneArt

A bus driver in Germany. I was going to a place called Girardet Haus (there was nothing wrong with my German) but I pronounced the 'G' as in 'get'. He suddenly exploded into a raged and shouted, "It's JIRARDET Haus (as in the French way)! Not GIRARDET Haus!"

Seriously wtf? It's f***ing Germany most Germans would pronounce the way I did and who gives two sh!ts you knew what I was saying.

Cnut.

Now I'm cranky!

Went into a shop in Dublin one Saturday morning to get a sandwich.
Oul wan making it was grumpy as fcuk.
Asked me why I hadn't made myself a lunch.
I ignored the comment and got the paper and a drink as well.
As I was leaving she says "I hope you fcuking choke on it"...

pragmatic1

A biatch woman collecting money for the bus. All I had was a fifty and she huffed and told me to go to the shop and get change quickly. Ended up cursing her out on the bus in front of everyone.

A lab tech from college who was to help me out for materials for my final project. Gave me a serious level of abuse but couldnt do anything because I needed him for the project. If I catch him out hes going to get an eaten or a beaten.

So you showed up with a €50 note to get the bus, and then fooked your one out of it for asking you to make change. And she was the cranky one?

Had no other money and she basically tried to tell me off. Was extremely rude. So fook her.

Aishae

Got into the front of a taxi there 6 years ago. Yer woman behind the wheel pushed me physically out the door. I was so shocked I didn't get her licence to report her or anything. I walked off. Cranky bitch.

People speculated that she was on the end of her shift and when I told her where I wanted to go she thought it was too far for her (sandymount to sandyford - not very far) but it doesn't excuse being so rude about it.

Still makes me angry to think about it. She was rotten

Storminateacup

I'm just as rude to cranky people.

I walked into this shop one Sunday morning and this old bint was down on her knees sticking magazines into papers. I walked in, and stood at the counter waiting patiently to be served. She continued on with the magazines and after about 3 or 4 magazines, she looked me up and down; and loudly sighed. She slowly rose to her feet, and walked around to her side of the counter with a face on her like a bull.
She stared at me, and when I stared back, she said "yes?". So I looked her up and down, wrinkled my nose and replied "I changed my mind", before turning and walking out.

Ignorant old bitch

The Irish transport service are the cranks of this nation, can't blame them sometimes I guess but I agree with you definitely
