^_^ classic, Tiff you are my inspiration to be politely rude to irritating people. And about a button missing from a jacket and people wanting a discount, common lazy, cheap people, it's not THAT hard to sew a button on, making the hole for a button yes, but sewing it, no.(dolwhetms) WELL I REFUSE TO SERVE THIS AT MY BRIDGE CLUB.
(me) ....Okay. Don't.
(dolwhetms) WELL I NEVER! *STORMS OUT*
*nodsnods* it's just like when they say "I can get this cheaper at wal-mart! You have it for 1.69, and wal-mart has it for 1.59!!" and I just smile and go "Well, ma'am, there's a wal-mart on 7th avenue!"peachvampiress wrote:

And then, they'll act all indignant and say "This is the worst service ever bitch bitch bitch." "I hate this store blah blah blah" "I'm never shopping here again blarg bitch blah" and you see them again the next day wanting you to help them find something.

I thought you weren't going to shop here again because I was so evil and rude."
I can totally relate. I worked at Superstore, selling Christmas trees outside the store (people have to pay inside, and we just help people pick out a tree and bring it to their cars) for three weeks in December last year. We have an enterance and an exit at the front of the store. Because our shirts were long and it was cold outside, we were allowed back inside the enterence to warm up. The doors are automated, but they can be opened from the insideby pulling them apart. You could also push them open in case of an emergency. But when we did that, we would raise our hand to the censor so that the door would close again. We don't wear uniforms since we worked outside, but we wore ID cards around our necks. When people clearly saw an employee exiting through the enterence, they figured it was okay for them to do it too. They would pull the doors open, but they wouldn't raise their hand to the censor so that the door would close again. Then the door would stay partially open until someone else came to the enterence. That just annoyed the hell out of me.Tiff wrote:Yes, thank you.DreamEmpress wrote:May I first say that I sympathize with those who work in retail. I've worked there myself and I try harder to be more understanding to others who are in that field.
My pet peeve at the Department of Corrections when I worked there was people coming up to the window and asking if there is a public restroom when the sign saying "No Public Restrooms in this building" is staring them in the face!! It makes me want to scream. Especially since it's posted in the window, in the window beside the door, and on the wall! I made those signs myself even, in big bold letters, with a yellow background! Another time the background was pink or something. I bet they'd still ask even if i put it in big neon lights that flash and move.
And as for the sign...god, I know how you feel. We have one entrance and one exit. There's directly across from eachother and at opposite ends of the store. They cannot go out the entrance because it's an automated door and only opens one way. People ALWAYS park near the entrance,a nd so therefore, they want to go out that way. We have this big green sign that says "EXIT IS AT OTHER END OF STORE", and it seems invisible to them. Then, when you point it out, they get all irritated. "Well, I want to go out this way." "You can't. The door won't open." "Well, I parked over here." "....Ma'am, the door still won't open." Then, they flip out, stalk over to the exit, and leave. Now here's the really stupid part: They always want to go out the entrance because it's "closer", but in reality, the distance from the registers and to the entrance is the same as the distance between the exit and their car.
Dumbasses.
Amen to that one. My dad uses the fact that I like Japanese music and animation against me when he's mad [at me]... -_- He calls anime "cartoons". -_-;;;;; I really hate it when it does that. It really annoys the shit outta me. He also used to call SM a "little girl's show" when I was watching through it... He'll never learn -_-RoastedTwinkies wrote: I also find it offensive when people refer to Japanese as 'Jap'. Whenever I play my j-pop music, my entire family tells me 'Meghan, turn off the Jap crap!' They also refer to anything they see Japanese, they call it 'Jap crap'. I've talked numerous times about that, but they still insist on calling it 'Jap crap'. It offends me a lot.
...They ARE cartoons. They're animated drawings. The only difference is the style...it's the STYLE that's called Anime. They're still cartoons.Miyamoto wrote:

And I quote:peachvampiress wrote:Although I'm learning, my Japanese sucks. But from what I've learned, the Japanese sometimes shorten borrowed words. Examples would be apato=apartment terebi=television. Anime is most likely Animation, just shortened. When you say you're watching anime, you're pretty much saying that you're watching Animation (meaning cartoons). But since Anime is a Japanese word, most people know that you are refering to Japanese animation (Japanese cartoons).
There you have it. So, yes, anime is cartoons.Anime is the Japanese shortened word for 'animation'.
In Japan, 'anime' would be any animated production, from Disney to Legend of the Overfiend. Anything that is animated, be it Japanese, English or French. Outside Japan, though, 'anime' tends to refer, specifically, to Japanese animation.
On a similar note, I hate the ones that make straight characters gay (very seldom have I ever seen it vice-versa) and those who assume that just because two characters of the same sex are friends, they are automatically lovers (Azumanga Daioh fandom is notorious for this, as is SM fandom of course)Yaoists/yurists who claim that anyone who doesn't like yaoi/yuri is homophobic
Exactly. My problem is more that I'm so sick of adults telling me, "You don't want pink streaks" or something similar, when I clearly DO. How the hell do you know what I want? It irks me when people (more common in parent-types) try to tell me what I want to do with my appearance. You may not like it, but I do, so don't bother trying to tell me that I don't. -_-;Lady of the Light wrote:What really annoys me is when other people tell you what to do with your appearance. For example, I have long, brown hair, down to my waist. But if one more person tells me to cut my hair, I'll do something too horrible to mention on this forum. It's MY hair people, and I will do whatever I please to it...
Amen there I really get annoyed by people like that.Umino wrote:-People who use 'fag, gay, dyke, etc.' as insults
-People who try SO hard to be cool.
"Look I can type in Japanese! I AM SZO KEWL!!!!!11lolomgwtf"
-People who ALWAYS insult me because I like anime for the hell of it
*I'm late for Art*
Teacher: Where were you?
Me: At my locker
Teacher: Well you're 5 mins. late
Me: Yeah, I'm having locker trouble
Two Shits--student: Hehehe. Yea! You're LATE!
*I walk to my desk, and drop my notebook really hard*
Teacher: WELL EXCUSE ME!
Me: What?
Teacher: Well EXCUSE ME! DON'T SLAM THINGS IN MY ROOM!
Me: I didn't mean too, besides the peanut gallery back there sure is annoying
One of the two shits: Well maybe you should start coming to class eariler instead of watching that Japanese porn crap.
And YES I did not mean to slam my notebook
Oy...how well I know that. People at my school do that all the time. -_- It's pathetic behavior.Choc wrote:I don't think I would ever like to work in retail after hearing those stories. Those customers were so rude!
Anyway, I also dislike people who try so hard to be cool, like Umino said. There is this boy in my class who is trying to be "ghetto" and a pervert. He uses ebonics sporadically and it sounds very unnatural for him to say such things. His perversion seems forced and is very strange coming from a man who would like to be a pastor when he grows up.
