SweetQ, you could have asked the woman if she had been helped already instead of jumping in with your own order. She has just as much right to be annoyed as you.


UPS is still better than USPS. Shipping time was supposed to be 3-5 business days and it was delivered 15 days later- the day after I needed it and 3 days after I was refunded. The worst was DHL. When a package has the notice "Do not deliver before noon", you don't show up at 11am, leave a stupid "We missed you!" sign, then make me reschedule the delivery at your convenience. He should have showed up after noon like he was supposed to!

Shut up shipping industry- your crappy service is already overpriced and now you think you deserve a "fuel surcharge" as well? Shipping costs should be COD- if it's there intact and ontime, THEN they get their money. The companies I order from shouldn't have to refund me for UPS/USPS/FedEx's negligence.

"SweetQ, you could have asked the woman if she had been helped already instead of jumping in with your own order. She has just as much right to be annoyed as you. "

She was standing to the right of where people were in line. That is where most people move once they have placed their order. From where she was standing, nobody would have thought twice about asking her if she had already placed her order. She could have nicely said something like "Excuse me, I believe I was here first." There was absolutely no reason for her to push me. What exactly was she trying to teach her daughter with the attitude she had?

The woman pushed SweetQ twice. Shoving someone around does not help the situation, and smacks of someone looking to get so offended that they look for a fight. That woman in the deli had iss-yoos.

At Equity, some woman made a point of jumping in front of me to sign up for an audition, and instead of writing her name on the clipboard she just stood there and stared at the board, for an unnatural while. I waited, as just as I was going to say something to her, a monitor came over to us, yanked the board down and gave it to me. She turned to the woman who ran to get ahead of me and said, "Running ahead of someone just to stare at the wall? You're going to get your ass kicked, honey." That was a good shut up moment.

I agree. The woman could have politely said "Excuse me, I was next" instead of causing a scene.

I also agree. I'm always in the position of saying "excuse me, but I'm next" because I'm kind of short and behind the counter service people never seem to call on me. Maybe they don't see me, but they take a taller person before me.

Exactly, if she had said, "Excuse me, I was next" I would have said "Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead."

It was like she was asking for an argument and that's not what I was looking for. As much as I wanted to say something to her, I kept my mouth shut. She wasn't worth my time or energy. Besides, I'd just be giving into her by arguing.

Good for you, sweetie! You took the high road.

Maybe she was really crabby about something totally unrelated.

That's kind of what I was leading too. Pushing her aside was an overreaction, but as far as she knew, SweetQ willfully cut in front of her in line and she could be posting in her own "shut up" thread about the incident.

To the mouse (or mice) that found their way into the space between my bedroom ceiling and the floor of the attic above, please STFU!!! Scritch, scritch, scritch all f*****g night long! And I can't set a trap because it is in the ceiling!!!! I AM SO TIRED TODAY.

Like the woman at the supermarket, I don't have the time, energy or need to argue with you, skittles.

"That's kind of what I was leading too. Pushing her aside was an overreaction, but as far as she knew, SweetQ willfully cut in front of her in line and she could be posting in her own "shut up" thread about the incident."

There is no reason I would willfully cut in line. If she thought that I was purposely cutting the line, that is her problem, not mine. Her attitude and response seemed to be that she was having issues other than those that were obvious. Nobody waiting in the line would have thought that she was waiting to be attended to, according to where she was standing. My intent was to order the deli meat that I wanted, not to get in front of her. And, by the way, there is no point in making my own "shut up" thread about the incident.

Skittles, the woman took a misunderstanding and gave it zero benefit of the doubt. That cancels out any benefit of the doubt for her as well.

Shut up to the redheaded biyatch who used four dryers in the 'mat today. Shut up to the blonde a-hole who took my chair despite my stuff clearly being on it, when there were quite a few other chairs to choose from. C-I-L-L the owners of this establishment who overcharge for machine use and rig the dryers not to dry clothes all that thoroughly, even at the highest setting.

People who come up with stupid names for animals. There was a note on the board at the shelter today that we have to get permission to name animals ourselves, because they might have a name already, or people who bring them in might want to name them. Well, some of these people deserve to be given a horrible nickname for what they named these animals. We have a cat named Toto. WTF? What tops it off is that he is feral, and not friendly at all. We actually have to wear a pair of leather gloves to get at his stuff in his cage so we can feed and clean up after him. And we also had a rabbit, which was a black and white mini lop named Fluffy. That is what I named my Jersey Wooley, because he was fluffy.

Tenants who look me straight in the eye and lie to me…

One tenant rides a bike, and the wall by his door has tires marks all over it, his handle bars and tire bolts have scratched up the walls and his door jam, and he INSISTED that they weren’t from him, and that the gouges in the door jam and on his door must have been when he moved the futon in.

I asked him if he moved the futon in and out 75 times…

Shut Up and don’t lie to my face!

To the little 16-year-old theatre snob I just pissed off :

You may be talented, even though I can't stand nasally tenors, and have some experience, but for God sakes you f-ing twink you are 16! You have the biggest swelled head I've ever seen and you just think you know everything about everything and discuss and critique things like you're a New York Broadway critic, only more embellishing to show you're know-how you think you have. You have no clue about gaining experience and carrying yourself in theatre at 16. None of us do, that's why we're in it, to LEARN.

I called you a snob with nitpicky expectations because you ARE. You fancy yourself an expert and expect people to put you on the same highhorse you put yourself on, but GROW UP.

AND....

SHUT THE F--- UP!

Huh? Where did you get that? I just meant the woman could also be complaining about what happened from her perspective, on another message board or MySpace entry or whatever.


Shut up, Metro. Scheduled track maintenance? The trains don't run from midnight to 5am- schedule maintenance then instead of during running hours. A twenty-three minute wait for a train at the center hub is ridiculous.

Sweet Q, you were entirely correct. Who cares what other issues she or anyone else has? You don't go and push anyone whatsoever, for anything. Even if you're in the right.

The way you told the story, she may have even been standing on the side on purpose, baiting you to go ahead and place your order, then she can jump on you. Why? because she has other issues. She's miserable and you're right, looking for a fight.

A big resounding STFU to the woman on the phone behind the glass at the airport who holds one finger up signaling that she'll be off the phone in 1 minute. I can handle standing around waiting for service for one minute...but 20? God Damn!!! The bitch wasn't even really busy I swear I heard her mention something about a hot pocket or a lean cuisine. Frickin'-A!!! Not to mention I was sooooo bored that I unknowingly started tapping my freshly manicured nails on the counter and chipped a few. DAGNABIT!!!

STFU to the college food service. Yes it is finals week, but don't close everything except for the main one at 3! People have night finals. Then don't close the main hall at 7:30! Some people didn't have time to eat before their final. You could also keep try not closing EVERY good station on campus (no pasta for a week? No paninis for two weeks?) There are a LOT of people still on campus and we would like to eat.
