Random Ways to Annoy People

[greg72982]

People talking on cell phones generally annoy me. But when they are in a checkout line and everyone is delayed because of their so important phone call, I've been known to tell them to hang up or get the hell out of line.

That's one of the few advantages of being an old man, I can be eccentric rather than just be an ***.

I hate people that talk on their cell phones at the gym. They will be on a treadmill or something gabbing away. I mean seriously you aren't that important, and if you are you probably shouldn't be at the gym, you should be out saving the world. I leave mine in the car.

The gym is another ball game. I hated the young women who came there to be looked at and nothing else. They would stand around a station and/or chat with other people rather than use the damn thing. I recall asking more than a couple if they were through "posing" so I could use the machine.

Cell phones do give people an exaggerated idea of how important they are.

Oregon just passed a cell phone driving ban and I love it! It can be a primary reason for a stop. Just my old city has issued over 300 citations since the first of the year. The state police has only written about 100!

Wish they'd do that out here. They're too chicken**** to pass it, though.

Your phone is next to your cape, right?

I wish I could talk while I was on the treadmill. Not on the phone - just in general. I'm all fat and outta shape... The only thing I could say on a treadmill is "MEDIC!!!!!!"

I was surprised Oregon did it, being so liberal and all. I'd be curious to see what, if any effect it has on the accident rate.

Yep and if you can talk while on a treadmill you aren't doing much anyway IMO

Actually, there's a reason why people run and talk. Or in the military, sing cadence. You work your lungs out more.

I use the opposite theory. No one else is important enough to interrupt me so I don't even need to carry a cell phone. If you are THAT important, you know where I am. I leave my cell phone on mute and I'll call you back when its convenient for me.

That's what they told you?? Actually it's the second phase of weeding out undesirables.

Phase 1: Walk and chew gum
Phase 2: Run and sing songs

Ummm...where is that gym?

And please tell me these young women you hated had skimpy outfits and large breasts and shapely toned bodies....they need a good talking to.

There's a difference between running and singing cadence and gabbing to your friend about nothing while you WALK on the treadmill.

Now that you've specified walking, I agree. You should "trip" and knock it out of their hands.

Oopsie!!!!!

I have to agree with the above comments about people on their cell phones in public places, while driving, etc. For example, I went to Starbucks tonight...the guy in front of me was on his cell phone the entire time and didn't put the phone down to even order his drink. But he at least didn't seem obnoxious and kept his voice fairly quiet. It's the LOUD, pompous ones that really bug me--and I've encountered many! In fact, I'd say about 50% of these were/are friends of mine at one time or another...

One good thing is:

Coming out of the elevator or changing room, shaking your head, looking into the next persons eyes who wnat to use it and telling them that "the toilett paper"is empty

Had earned a lot of stupid views in the past, esp. when I did that while in uniform

...I found a few more ways to annoy people on elevators:

1) Stare at another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: “You’re
one of THEM” – and back away slowly

2) Say DING at each floor.

3) When the elevator is silent, look around and ask: “Is that your beeper?”

4) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other
passengers: “This is my personal space.”

5) When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the
shoulder, then pretend it wasn’t you.

6) Call out “Group hug” then enforce it.

7) When the lift is going down scream “we’re gonna die”

Those are pretty good!

During college, my dormitory roomate and myself would venture to the campus library (which was the tallest building on campus and had the only elevators) and let out 'SBDs' when hot girls would get on the elevator. The reactions were fantastic! We were famous...but very unpopular with hot girls on campus.

Note: The reason why we chose hot girls as victims was because we knew we would never score with them anyway...because they were way out of our league. I loved college.
