Why is this emo sh1t so respected by people (the irony)?

If everyone seems horrible to you, maybe you need to look at yourselves. Maybe you are one of those horrible people and have a skewed view of the world...

No offence Madam X, consider me like the OP. I'm pointing something out in a friendly way, but your post is coming across like:

PEOPLE ARE NOT HORRIBLE, ITS YOU THATS HORRIBLE, FCUK YOU> AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Anytime I leave a few things on the roof of my car when I'm getting the keys to open the door, I always feel there's someone in their car in the carpark watching me, hoping I forget the stuff on my roof.

I just grab the things and smile, thinking "Not this time" and I drive off, laughing hysterically.

I think what madam_x is saying is that if people think you're an asshole, they'll treat you like one, which in turn makes them look like an asshole, and so on, and so forth.

Just remembered about a time when me and my brother were walking home from the pub late one night.

We were walking by a car and my brother noticed the door wasn't locked, so he opened it up and pushed down the lock.
The woman (who was wearing black and not very visible from the outside) sitting in the front seat got an aweful shock when these guys walked up and opened her door.

Que my brother trying to explain he didn't see her and was locking the door for them....

I feel sorry for the woman, if she reacted to you hooting her horn like that she must have a lot of stress in her life. The fact that she left her shopping on the roof of her car says her thoughts are somewhere else.

In short the bitches be crazy

I was stuck behind someone going up a hill towards the traffic lights, as we approach the lights the road widens into two lanes to allow the left hand lane to go straight on and the second lane to allow traffic to either go straight on or turn right. "fortunately" the slow car stayed in the left lane and so I could pull alongside.

As the lights went green I was annoyed and frustrated soI put the foot down to get past them, from the oncoming traffic a lorry driver leaned out of his cab and shouted something. Me being in a hurry thought he was insulting me/my driving and so I gestured and told him to eff off..................about 300 yards up the road I found out what he'd been shouting about when I was stopped for speeding by a mobile camera parked over the brow of the hill.

He'd been doing a nice thing and I was the ar*ehole. So I definitely include myself when I describe people as ar*eholes, cos sometimes I am and sometimes so are they and sometimes they are ar*eholes a lot of the time, so much that it almost seems like a permanent state.

I think this is it in a nutshell maybe 90% of the time. Sometimes people are just irredeemable assholes but most people will just respond to you according to how you act. It's like a Mobius strip of assholery

They did a sketch on one of those hidden camera shows a few years ago where a woman put a child seat with a fake infant in it on the roof of the car while she put her shopping in the car.She then pretended to forget about the baby and drove off with people running after her freaking out!Very funny

I flashed a guy who was sitting in the overtaking lane on the motorway a couple of times to get out of my way. He didn't. It transpired he was going through the electronic tag lane. I felt like a bit of an arsehole.

My exact reason for not bothering to be nice to people who are for the most part - arseholes!

Well you don't know that they are, but how and ever. Assuming that they are, makes you not that much different.

I can never understand people moaning about how horrible people are. I had to listen for an hour and a half as my private English student moaned and moaned about people this morning....she's lovely but she gave me a pain in the hole the why she went on. How come that hasn't been my experience AT ALL?

This student is a pessimist by nature (her words) and I'm not. I think that's what it comes down to. She admitted to trying to find fault with people whereas (without sounding smug here) I presume the person I'm talking to is at least going to be a decent human being who doesn't possess anymore faults than I do....and genuinely, I'm 32 years old now and have been around the block and I haven't been wrong about that assumption so far.

Madam_X · 30-11-2012 04:45PM

Yeh, not assuming most people are arseholes will serve you well. It doesn't mean you have to be a pushover or super nice all the time... just not cynical for the sake of being cynical.

Didn't we already establish this way back when?! I never pretended to be miss wonderful!

Anyway, I'm not assuming, I'm going by experience.

So last night, myself and the wife went to supermarket to get a few groceries. We bought our stuff, hopped backed into the car and drove toward the car park exit. Now, it was busy so the cars were all moving fairly slowly. Anyway, I saw this woman coming out of the shop, put her groceries on the roof of her red mini cooper, unlock the door, hop into her car and drove off with the the bag of groceries still on the roof.
As I said all the cars were moving slowly towards the exit in 2 lanes, so I gave her a little beep to get her attention and I started pointing at the roof of her car. Yer wan starts shouting and roaring out the window, "who the fcuk are you to start hooting at me?! who do you think you are?", all very aggressively. She gave me the finger and took off, you have to turn right when exiting the car park, as she took the right the bag of shopping came off the roof and went all over the road, burst carton of milk, bread, broken jam jars, exploding 2 litre bottles of coke all over the road. I pulled up beside her, gave her another little beep and a smile and drove off! All I was doing was trying to alert her to the fact that she left her shopping on the roof of her car and all I got was agression and abuse. Serves the wagon right....

That second beep must have been rather satisfying.

You try to be nice to people but....
