When I am out somewhere, say at the cinema, and someone is annoying me, like kicking the back of my seat I am way too shy to turn around and politely ask them if they would please stop. But I do get a powerful urge to plant my fist in their face. (and I am a gentle non violent girl).
My grandmother once turned to some young men behind her at some movie or a theatre, I forget, and said, very politely, "Excuse me, will you shut the fuck up?"
It worked.
We were at a movie theatre and a person picked up his phone and answered it. (It was on silent) but the light from the phone screen was nuisance and the conversation got louder. Suddenly I saw the guy next to him grabbed his phone and shoved it into his cup of soda.
When the movie ended, we realised the person who shoved the phone into the soda cup was the father of the idiot.
Hahaha she actually doesn't like my swearing.
I was in Sydney the other week, and she asked me how I keep a civil tongue with my kids at work when I don't with her. I said "Well, you can't fire me..." and she laughed herself sick :)
I get my fucked up sense of humour from her and my grandfather, who was apparently mental :)
This happened to me once. I politely asked the person to stop. A couple minutes later I felt something in my hair. It was popcorn. The person was lining up popcorn on my head and laughing about it with his friends.
I try not to be confrontational. There are sooo many crazies out there today. I often ask myself "is this the hill I want to die on?" If I was really annoyed I would just get up and move to a different seat far away from the irritation.
I wouldn't even turn around or ask. I would tell the person to stop it. If the person ignores me or has something shitty to say, I would just kick his ass. I don't care about people like that at all.
Does this hapen often? I don't think anyone has kicked my seat at a theater. At least not on purpose. Maybe its the type of movies you watch that leads to being surrounded by immature brats.
Yep, I hear ya. But if they don't stop I'll say something to them. Seems they usually had no idea they were being annoying and they stop doing it. I was sitting at a bar a few weeks ago and this drunk chick I didn't know, sitting next to me elbowed me really hard every time she got excited or mad about something going on in this hockey game we were watching. Finally, I said "stop elbowing me!" She stopped, but sat there sulking and sad like some pitiful little kid. I kind of felt bad, well not that bad.
For some reason this reminded me of a recent bus ride. I was standing, holding a cup of hot coffee and rhe man sitting in front of me politley asked me to hold my coffee in my other hand. At first I was a little annoyed at the request, but then thought about it. No one wants hot coffee soilled in them, and buses bounce.
I had a choice, be annoyed, or be amused. Thankfully I was in a good mood so I laughed it off with the guy and we ended up chatting the whole ride. He was really quite pleasant, he just didn't want coffee in his face.
