I'm at a coffee shop sitting next to one of the most annoying women. The place is packed and I can't escape anywhere else. Hopefully she doesn't look over while I write this; that could make it really awkward really quick.
She's calling people on her cell phone (sounds like she wants to buy a bookshelf on craigslist). So far every call she's made, it goes something like this "Hi, I saw that you were selling your bookshelf. My fiance and I are looking for a bookshelf because after we get married, we're going to move in together in Spring Valley. He has a lot of books because he has his Masters degree and we need a new bookshelf to hold all of our books together. Blah blah blah going on about the wedding. Anyways, I'm interested in buying it so please call me back soon at XXX-XXX-XXXX."
Every. Single. Call.
Girl is crazy. To add to the annoyance factor, she has this irritatingly high, nasally voice. I feel bad for her fiance. Hopefully they're equally annoying and are made for each other.
Annoying is one thing, but when someone is being a jerk, it really gets under my skin. It gets to the point where I can't help but do something about it.
Earlier this week, a nice Mercedes pulled up into a handicap parking spot at a busy restaurant. The driver was a young guy, well built (obviously not handicapped), and had no visible handicap parking sign. He walks into the restaurant and waits in the long line to place his order; it was going to be longer than a minute.
I wrote on my receipt how he was an asshole for parking in a handicapped spot. I was about to place the note on his windshield when a friend stopped me. She said it would prompt a fight. I didn't care about the fight, but since it was putting her in an uncomfortable position, I didn't do it. (Though in my opinion, if I was being confrontational, I would've walked straight up to the stranger and said it)
I get why people don't speak up when strangers are annoying. I don't get why people don't speak up when strangers are deliberately being jerks.
Eww...sounds like you were having fun. Does she actually think a craigs list poster needs to hear her ENTIRE life story??
ReplyDeleteHa ha ... I tend to be the one making Jason uncomfortable by confronting the jerks of the world (as long as they aren't too scary looking).
