The crankiest person you've ever encountered.

Sergeant · 20-08-2011 01:36AM #1

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!

Myself in the a.m. before caffeine.

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 · 20-08-2011 01:41AM

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.

hondasam · 20-08-2011 01:53AM

Public servants cranky bastards.

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

I dont mind paying the extra cent per litre for the plastic gloves you get in the posh garages.

smk89 · 20-08-2011 02:27AM

Those checkout women in Belfast accents that say "Ye gettin" when you take too long looking at things in the shop.

Temptamperu · 20-08-2011 02:31AM

Its terrible joe :pac:

Chuck Stone · 20-08-2011 02:45AM

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.

Larianne · 20-08-2011 02:46AM

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 · 20-08-2011 02:49AM

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 · 20-08-2011 02:50AM

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 · 20-08-2011 02:55AM

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 · 20-08-2011 02:57AM

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!

That actually makes me feel angry on your 12-yr-old-self's behalf :mad:.

Grumpy bastard!

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.
