She really likes this 'rude' word, eh?

She was very rude to everyone in the line. You weren't rude, until you called her a vagina. (Ha Ha) Funny, but rude. Hope there weren't any little kids in the line.
Speaking of which, I wish these da*n kids would stop jumping on my ceiling, and go to bed. And just SHUT UP!!!

Ugh, that happened to me once at my old apartment. I banged on the ceiling with a broomstick, and the girl that lived there (the kids were visiting her - she was single) had the nerve to leave ME a note about it. Mind you the kids were doing the jumping at 8:00 in the morning on a Saturday and I had gone out the night before.

Take the note, wipe you @$$ with it and hand it back to her.

"And you're a c**t"

I WISH I had the guts to say that sometimes! Haha

The woman in line never had anyone call her on her crap before? High time, then.

You're lucky it happened to you only once. For me, this is pretty much an every night thing. Sometimes it sounds like they are tossing bowling balls up in the air, and letting them drop. I fully expect that one of these days a chunk of the ceiling will fall on my head. They have gone to bed now. It's finally quiet.

Yikes. Using the 'C' word is rude... and not very classy. In my opinion. I don't EVER wish I had the "guts" (?) to use it.


But other than that, the woman in line sounds very self-centered. And self-centered people need to shut up!

I would never say that to someone NYadgal as I think it's very rude as well, but sometimes I wish I was allowed to lol.

I've been warning my husband to stop spitting on the ground, well it's disgusting regardless, whilst in front of our impressionable 17 month daughter. I picked her up the other day to realize she'd spit all over herself, copying her dear papa. I'm pissed!

What is it with men hawking those lugies everywhere? Women never do this--at least I've never seen one do this. It's damn gross and kind of self-centered, too.

My insomnia and all the racing thoughts can shut up thoroughly. The fact that i have to commute over an hour both ways to NJ on Friday just to do a stupid nonunion gig can shut the hell up, too. Not ever getting union work can really really shut up. The fact that I have no steady work, no boyfriend and no appreciable life whatsoever to the point that I'm just about to give up on myself can shut up with a big iron gate and ginormous padlock. The difficulty of everything can shut up and go to hell, along with the sh*theads who are now playing that bass-heavy music at 3:35 am (they do this every night). I have enough trouble sleeping as it is!

Totally sympathize with the bowling ball neighbors. I've got those above. Below is someone who plays piano at 8am. To the side is someone who slams her door whenever she uses it. Since this building is only two units wide, imagine what the scenario would be if I had another lateral neighbor.

One of my female coworkers did this constantly. It's still gross.

nygrl - I totall feel your frustration about the music. I'm filing my third compaint in a month, though I only flie when the music is loud during "after-hours". I could actually file pretty much every day even when he plays music during the middle of the day simply because of the ear-splitting volume he uses. And I have the door-slammer across the hall. And this isn't even an apartment! It's a condo. My neighbors, however, are "edgy" art students who are renting from private investors. They can all SHUT UP!

This old guy at the gym is constantly hocking lugies into a handkerchief, and then he tucks the handkerchief into the waistband of his shorts. It really grosses me out.

I ran inside the local grocery store to grab a cup of coffee. I tied my very old dog near the door where I could see him at all times while in line. Two girls came and started talking to him. One was on a cell phone. My old dog is shy and afraid of strangers and when cornered and frightened will snap.
I heard him left out a warning frightened bark and went to the door and saw one of the girls reaching out to pet the cowering deaf and half blind old dog (he is almost 17).
I told her," Please leave him alone he is very old and infirm and is terrified of strangers and has been known to snap." The blonde girl gave me a dirty look and stood up and walked away, her friend on the phone continued talking.
By the time I got back in line there was yet another frightened yap from him. I saw that the blonde was once again crouching down crowded him. He was baring his teeth this time. I went back to the door this time angry. "I asked you once to not bother him, and I see you do not listen. Perhaps you are looking forward to getting bit. Didn't your parents teach you to ask first before touching a strange dog and to heed what the owner says?". The blonde stood up and glared at me. As I turned around she was right back in position again. I spun on my heel and her friend on the phone told her, "Why don't you leave that dog alone like he asked you to?" She replied, "Because I don't want to!". I stormed out of the store calling her a stupid ignorant fool. I told her that if the dog did bite her it would be seen as his fault when in fact it was hers and she would have deserved it!
I stepped back inside paid my bill grabbed my coffee to return to see the blonde's friend who was on the phone , now crouching down trying to approach the old dog.
I totally lost it and called them both stupid Tw*ts! To which the blonde replied "Don't you talk to me!"
She can Shut Up and I hope one day gets her ass chewed up by an angry dog!

I love the idiot in the McDonalds parking lot today who decided to drive behind my car, as I was backing up. Of course it was a mini van, so if I had hit the idiot, my car would have been damaged, and not his. All he had to do was wait like 1 second for me to stop and go forward.

I drive a Mini Cooper, and WHY is it that every time I'm in a parking lot I get stuck between 2 HUGE SUV's? I can't see worth a crap to back out. Drives me nuts!

SNAFU, if you tell me where they live, I'll happily come round and slap the bitches silly. I'm an absolute sucker for pooches, and I confess I don't always ask the owner's permission (usually when the owner isn't around). But a dog isn't a passive dumb brick of a creature, and if the DOG lets me know that s/he doesn't want to be friends after a careful approach, then I respect that and back away. And if I get nipped, it's my own damn fault and I know it. And if the owner at any point asks me not to touch, then I DON'T. Why is semi-basic etiquette so RARE these days?!

Shannon, just say to someone "See You Next Tuesday" in place of actually using that word.

My "Oh, shut up" for today is brought to you by the morning NYC express buses. A quick and expensive transportation option for those in New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Staten Island.

Also known as: Being trapped on a bus with people who speak loudly on their cell phones early in the morning (don't you just LOVE the young ones who shout their conversations and say "like" after every other word?), hit you in the head with their bags and enormous rear-ends, and stand when there are no seats while leaning on your seat with either their butt or crotch in your face because they're not polite enough to face forward.

I was on the bus this morning with a woman who got on, even though the driver told her she would have to wait for the next bus because there were no seats and the standing room was full, and refused to leave. Instead, she kept shouting at all of the other people on the bus.
Her lazy rear was propped up against my seat the entire ride because she is apparently not capable of standing upright. Eww

To her I say, "Oh shut up! Just get off and wait for the next bus which is 2.5 seconds behind us."

[nygrl232]

I've taken MTA buses. I don't take them anymore if I can help it. God...it's a test of one's infinite, more than life's supply of resolve and tolerance just to go 20 blocks.

Man, those two girls are a lawsuit waiting to happen, aren't they? Pushing boundaries with a dog that doesn't like to be approached by strangers is not Darwin-positive.

I saw a huge yellow lab outside a candy store recently. He had a little bandana and looked crestfallen whenever the person coming out of the store didn't turn out to be his owner. I approached the dog, saw how he felt about it, and he broke out in a big dog smile. I petted him, he leaned his entire body against my legs and started to make sounds like he wanted to "say" something. Weird but cute. Anyway, his owner came out and said, "Did someone tell you it was okay to pet my dog?" I said, "Yeah. Your dog did." She shut up.

Weez I am a big sucker for pooches also. My little guys in my avatar are overly friendly and adore attention. I happily let anyone approach them. The old man however was an abused rescue dog gotten from death row almost 17 years ago. He will NEVER attack anyone except when they get in his face and he feels threatened. Now with severe arthritis and recently a slipped disc, he feels he can no longer escape if needed so he has become more defensive and ornery.
Most people with sense when warned that a dog is a shy biter and ornery will stay clear. These two really did deserve a nip on the butt, but unfortunately the dog would have been held at fault!

I find actually using the c word is more effective than saying, "See You Next Tuesday".

Some people just don't get that.
