Child Item

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?

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!

I have never been anything but polite with them. They don't even say hello back!!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

He doesn't need to speak, just glaring is enough!

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.

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!

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.

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

On a school trip to Paris for my French class, we were in Disneyland for the day. I was buying something in one of the shops and asked the man at the desk what price it was, or something like that. Next thing he starts shouting and ranting at me about how you 'speak English when you are in London, here you speak French' blah blah blah. He went on and on for ages. It was ridiculous considering I was only 14 at the time, he was speaking English himself. And also that fact that he works in Disneyland which is full of English speaking tourists

And it's meant to be a fun place, grumpy bàstard.

I think he thought I was English. Lots of security guards in shops said really racist things to the people in our group about how 'English people aren't allowed here' etc. As much as I like France, I think the stereotype of racist French people is very very true $:\$

Crankiest person I have ever encountered is most definitely my Dad, I cannot say two words to him without him getting thick.

In general I found the staff in Disneyland to be fine but the People in Paris hate the English, me and my OH had a very similar experience when we were in Paris, in one crepe shop we bought some crepes and he handed them to us and told us we couldn't eat them in there even though there were loads of people sitting in there eating.

We went to the Parc Floral de Paris and tried to sit down after buying a slice of cake and were told we couldn't even though again there were loads of people sitting there.

After that whenever we spoke to people we practically just said straight out that we were Irish and they were much friendlier.

We would just say (in French) that we were Irish and only spoke a little French but could they speak English and found we got on much better in Paris then!
