Oh no you didn't -- stories of stupid people, anyone?

[kaishi]

In this thread we will discuss outrageous/juicy/irritating stories of stupid people doing stupid things to us or people we know. I myself have had the pleasure of experiencing a lot of these instances, but I'll try to keep it short (?).

I'll go in chronological order.

This one is minor now, but it's still irritating. In 6th grade, one of my closest friends decided she was gonna be a grown up. Thus begins a long and painful war. Flash to high school. This friend changed her interests to fit in with other people, and began to abandon me because I didn't do the same. She then decided to only call me or invite me places when she needed me, and often came to my house just to use my stuff. We weren't friends for much longer, but it wasn't on my end. She eventually ignored me to be one of the cool kids, but she's a huge fat cow now so HA. Weirdly, we're friends on facebook. O___o

Story two:

Another of my good friends, during I believe my sophomore year of college, decided to ask my parents if she could stay with me (lol?) for a week or so. That was cool, until a week or so turned into like six or seven months. She spent the entire summer on the couch and acted like she owned the place. She'd go out until the middle of the night and then come back and wake me up, even though I had class in the morning. After she finally got moved downstairs, it sort of only got worse. She was using our car, invited people over without asking (like for days), and did some very inappropriate things in our spare room. When she did get a job we only asked for $50 rent, but even at that much she started to talk bad about us behind our backs. As soon as she found another place to live, she moved out. She got her things, and has only called twice since she left. Once she needed me to buy something for her, and I.. really don't know about the second time. Otherwise it's as if we never existed. That's gratitude for ya.

Story three:

So we arrive at the impetus of this post: right now, at this moment, I am engaged in a battle in defense of my best friend.
One of her friends has been avoiding her since she hooked up with this guy, who is a total jerk. He does things like take her out with his friends and ignore her and insult her when he's drunk -- the truly bad things I will leave out for the sake of being appropriate. He and my best friend don't like each other, so apparently the obvious solution is for this friend to give up being friends with her. There's no doubt about it, her attitude has changed since they met, and she has been screening her calls and not answering any method of communication.
Earlier today she told her point blank she does not want to see her anymore, so in a fit of rage I pretty much cussed her out for being a complete pushover? Hmm yeah. LoL, but all she had to say was to me not to say anything about her boyfriend. Am I right or am I right? Geez. Nothing irritates me more than a person who will give up their own interests and personal life just to be accepted by someone else.


In the end I just feel sorry for these people. It's just kind of pathetic.

All right, I want to know your stories! XD

Haha, a previously close friend of mine cannot choose decent boyfriends for the life of her.

Enough said!


Well, as I'm a person to end friendships and relationships easily, I say you did the right thing. You shouldn't have to deal with that.

When I worked in a pet store I had a woman come in, stand infront of the shopping carts, and ask me where they were. I was like...uuuuuuuh, what? Thinking she was joking or something. But she got really pissed and started yelling at me for being "ignorant" and my manager was just kind of standing there staring at us like uuuuuuuuh what? lol

[Keito]

I hate it when I'm walking on the right hand side of the sidewalk (following the rules of the road) and someone is walking towards me on their left hand side... expecting me to move.

XDD hahah! I was just thinking last night of drawing out a comic to express why my ex annoys me, and I've been thinking about how stupid some of my friends have been lately.

Hmmmm How about this one: So there's this psychology major, who's really into behaviorism. This means that his aproach to helping people is through learning- drugs can help, but a person needs to learn to get better. Now have this person not believe that dating is a time of learning about what one wants or how to behave in a relationship (marriage). So when he breaks up, he tries to pretend it didn't happen instead of learning valuable aspects of life. And does everything possible to not be reminded that it ever happened.
*hits psych major with giant paper fan* bad behavioral psychologist!

My mom works as an accountant for a real estate company, and one of her employees always does stupid things. Today, for instance, she asked my mom how to enter a certain thing into the system, and my mom told her to enter it as an "Other Income" and that she "Shouldn't process it as a transaction". So, she tries to process it as a transaction anyway, and asks my mom why it doesn't work. When my mom asks her what exactly she thinks she's doing she says "That's what you told me to do" and sends back the original email with "You shouldn't process it as a transaction" in bold.

Honestly, she never thinks, reads, or pays any attention to what she's doing.

And it makes it hard for US to work, because we have to go back and fix all of her mistakes.

...I actually work there too, ha...

I work at a gas station and people have a hard time using their cards at the pumps, so they come in and expect me to turn the pump on. I can't turn the pump on with out payment becasue we've had people who do this and then the card doesn't work and they don't have any other way to pay.

They get pissed and tell me they don't know how much gas their car holds.

How can you not know? I mean, it's not like the tank changes sizes every time you fill it!

I don't even have a car and I know how much some of the cars I've driven hold. My Dad's car at Empty will take just about 30 bucks! I mean come on!

There isn't enough time in the world or enough energy in my body to respond to how many stupid things I've been forced to endure from friends in real life, and friends on the internet.

Mainly the internet. Usually stupid drama bawfests of 'I don't get what I want so I'm going to try and make your life miserable because I have a bunch of ass licking followers!'.

Kind of like a fanclub war. It's... Pretty sad really.

Anyway. *wave hand*

Let's see. I'll go ahead and say a stupid story about MYSELF.

So, it's 12 o'clock midnight, this was a few weeks ago, and I remember 'Oh crap I didn't do my run today!', but, the fact was, I had, and I ran over an hour and a half, which was equivalent to about 3 miles on my treadmill at the speed I go.

So I get on it and set up everything for another hour and a half run without realizing it.

And halfway through the run, my grandmother comes into the room and asks me something. For some reason, I thought I could run backwards to talk to her. So I spun around. And fell promptly on my ass and slid all the way down to the floor at the edge of the treadmill. I sat there kind of in shock about a minute or so, my grandmother's laughing her ass off, then asks me why I'm running on the treadmill again.

Needless to say, I felt like an ass.

|D I've also done something stupid while running.

In gym class, while we were running our daily mile, someone asks me something and I turn my head to talk to them. Problem is, we're outside, running on the sidewalk, and coming to a section where we cross the road. Being the genius that I am, I forget to step down from the curb and end up doing a running faceplant. Apparently my momentum allowed me to to do a somersault and flip back on my feet. Handy, but I sure looked ridiculous. xD

There was also this conversation with a woman in a bookstore:
Her: I don't get it! Why are these comic books backwards?
Me: Uh, they're Japanese books, called "mangas."
Her: But they're in English. SEE?
Me: Well, they were originally written in Japan but have been translated into English.
Her: . . . But they're backwards.
Me: Yes, like I said, they're Japanese.
Her: BUT THEY'RE IN ENGLISH!
Me: *facepalm*

Ren - I... I know your pain.

What's worse.

You find manga that's not printed like the original. They've actually turned the pages so it reads like a normal book.

Try explaining THAT one to the uncultured. D:

[Ren]

Wow. xD Thankfully I've never come across that.


Although surfer dude tourist + yaoi manga = LOLWUT

The guy's expression was totally priceless. He looked like this:
Then I explained it and he was all

[Aaya-Tan]

*Cracks. The. Fck. Up*

Oh gooood that's awesome.

I love it when guys pick up a yaoi manga and think that the guys are just really hot cartoon chicks.

Then all of a sudden they get to a boinking page and they're either "SHEMALES!?" or it clicks.

I don't even work at the bookstore and I explain it.

Needless to say, one guy threw up.

Another knew, he just wanted to see if his buddy would freak. xD

[Ren]

I-I thought that once when I found one. I was probably six or seven at the time xD I was like "these people sure look weird!"


A lot of the time I come across girls to torment their boyfriends by flipping through the yaoi section reaaaally slowly. It never fails to make them uncomfortable.
