9 Things I Hate About Everyone

[Boleslav]

I like this idea for a thread!

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours?

I agree that this seems absurd - unless there is a language gap, in which case it's totally valid. I've relied on this gesture in countries where I didn't know the language.

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

On the surface this does seem an odd thing to say, but I'd argue it serves two purposes at once (1) a reassurance that whatever is lost will eventually be found, and (2) you may need to broaden the search wider to find it. I think it's OK.

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

This shouldn't be viewed in isolation - it's the opening gambit in a conversation with a person you don't know.

Me: "Has the bus come yet?"
Old Lady: "What bus, dearie?"
Me: "The number 23"
Old Lady: "It should be here any minute now"

I dislike these phrases: "With all due respect..." and "You're being empowered to..."

"With all due respect..." is flat out rude, since the not so subtle message is "I don't respect you much at all".

Whenever someone tells me "You're being empowered to..." I've always found myself doing extra work that the person who "empowered" me could and perhaps should have done instead.

following this vane i would add all the other phrases that mean "i'm totally going to insult you to your face, but dont be mad about it"
i mean, ok yeah you have a right to insult me, but when you do i have the right to decide weather or not i'm going to be mad about it.

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

I've done that a few times just so I can say, "Actually its not always the last place you look."
