Lack of self-awareness or just being an asshole

Monday, March 18, 2013

This dude was completely swiveled over into the aisle while the subway was literally packed to the brink, with everyone squished up against each other without anywhere to move.

And here he is. Just taking up both the seat spot and the spot beside him so no one can stand there.

Not spacing out in a fitness class

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

I can come in early to a class at the gym, get situated in a good spot and some idiot will come park themselves ridiculously close to me.

When the weatherman stands in the middle of the forecast

I'm at the gym and I don't have sound available. I just want to know the freaking weather, but then the a-hole stands in the middle of the 3 day forecast.
GTFO!

Smoking at the bus stop

Another common sense, manners/etiquette situation.

It's rude to smoke when everyone is lining up there and have nowhere else to go, unless they don't want to line up for the bus.

Fobs who assume everyone else can speak their language

There are some immigrants to the country who don't realize English is an official language and generally people speak that, more so than their mother tongue.

So they will just automatically start conversations in that language. I kinda get it if you're a senior citizen (though common sense would be the Caucasian person you're talking to probably doesn't understand you) but when you're a middle-aged or young person, you should realize that and have some basic understanding of English.

For example, I was shoveling snow and my Italian neighbor was also shoveling snow next door. This other neighbor had gotten his car stuck in the snow and abandoned it so when another car pulled up behind him, he couldn't get around that stuck car. The Chinese guy in the second car rolls down his window and yells out at my neighbour and I, and in Chinese asks where's the driver of the car in front? My Italian neighbour is like WTF and doesn't understand, obviously.

While some may say that being a tourist and assuming everyone understands English is kind of a dick move, at least English is one of the languages more commonly spoken in various countries. It's a dick move, however, to assume that everyone is of the same dialect otherwise.

Gross old man's mouth junk

I was sitting in my seat and an old man beside me kept palming his face and rubbing it, while also putting his fingers in his mouth to pick at it.
It was gross. But I just moved further to the other side of the seat because the bus was full and I didn't want to stand for an hour.
But that wasn't even the grossest part.
He then went hardcore picking inside his mouth. Then nudged out a pink thing, put it between his fingers and flicked it to the ground. Beside me! It landed two inches from my feet. I shared a horrified look with another guy on the bus but he smirked because I was the one sitting beside this atrocity. I look again at him and he's not at all fazed, which is also when I noticed all this dandruff on his shoulder ready to fall onto me so I moved the eff out of there. He also looked ready to get off or confused and I didn't want him to touch me with those nasty fingers that have been in his mouth.
See below for the gross pink mouth junk that came out of his mouth and by my shoe.

Fobs who cut the line

For example, these two.

Second example of fobby couples who just run into the bus, disregarding everyone in the line.

Ruins it reputations for etiquette abiding Asians out there.
