    What to you is the height of Rudeness ???

    Mine are if you cant hear someone and you ask them to repeat it and then they do so but in a slow manner and condescending way.

    People on there phones/tablets while youre trying to talk to them

    People wearing headphones when youre talking to them

    When someone does a big dirty fart on a plane/bus.

    Being hit with an ACME anvil or some explosives, happens way to often in work and at home

    When someone lets the door swing back in your face when you're reasonably close behind them.

    I was walking out of a pub the other night and a Geordie woman stopped me to tell me how skinny I am and it looks awful. Jokes on her though cos I kicked her in the face.

    Drenching the toilet seat in a half gallon of sour piss and walking off leaving it for the next person. I'm talking public bathrooms here, pubs, airports etc. I'd say about 80% of the time when I go to use a cubicle in a public convenience , the seat is wet with stale piss.

    I think you'll find the headphones and phones rudeness is almost uniquely confined to the younger generation.

    I find tarring everybody in a group or demographic with the same brush is rude.

    When a younger person duzt instead of siezt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    When working behind a desk and dealing with someone already, someone else comes right up to ask a question (normally a "quick" question). Get back in line, you cnut!!

    Personal space invaders are the worst, I can hear you just fine from over there, not pressed up in my face.

    Jumping the q in a shop.
    Unable to make a decision at the counter.
    Fumbling forever for change.
    Complaining about how long it takes to get served.
    Put them all together, and I want to water board you. (Don't actually do this at home, or anywhere)

    Sitting beside me on the bus, when there is a free seat you can have to yourself.
    Stopping me on the street, when I make it clear, I don't want to be disturbed.
    Chuggers just no.
    Asking me to buy you a drink, when, I don't even know you.
    Standing on the street with pictures of anything dead.
    Unwilling to work.
    Snoring on a plane or bus. (will get whipped on this one, but I think if you know you snore, don't sleep in public, that's what your bed is for)

    Clicking fingers or whistling at someone. Handy way of identifying cnuts though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,209 ✭✭✭nelly17


    At the air show yesterday I seen a woman struggling to push 2 small children in wheelchairs through the crowd (she was trying to manage 1 wheelchair per hand) and people clearly seen her and refused to make way for her, far too busy to risk looking there place in the queue for a gourmet hot dog.

    Before anyone says anything I did help her.

    When everyone's shaking hands at mass and someone whips their mickey out hoping to get a cheeky tug.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    Eating someone else's popcorn in the cinema, apparently.

    When people throw their money on the counter after I tell them how much their total is...just put it in my outstretched hand ffs!

    And they always have the hand out waiting for their change too. :rolleyes:

    People who are rude / nasty to people in customer service or behind a counter etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Into The Blue


    Not making eye contact with everyone in a discussion.

    Middle age/old born again cyclists who like to pretend they're in the tour de France and cycle around in a peloton, blocking the roads.

    I'll see your rude customer example and raise it with:

    Cashiers handing your change while you're still putting the groceries in the bag. Do I have three hands?!?! :mad:

    In the library when a gobsh|te's phone rings on and on without being answered. It rings out. And then starts to ring again.

    He's back folks!

    On topic, some old people can be terribly self-important with their "I'm old so I'm more important than you". It can be terribly rude.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,742 ✭✭✭✭Wichita Lineman


    Someone using your personalised mug at work. Why would you drink from a mug with someone elses name on it? Weirdo!

    Oh my God. That poor woman.

    She didn't stop you to tell you how skinny you looked. She stopped you to tell you how canny you looked.

    It's North Eastern English slang for something good or nice. There is no bigger compliment than being called canny.

    Morto for ya. Summons in the post I suspect.

    This.

    I also hate when people are constantly late. We all get delayed every once and a while but not always.

    I hate it when people don't cancel and just do not turn up.
