What things do people do that piss you off? You can use specific examples but try to make them things that are general so we can try not to do those things ourselves. I'll go first.


1. Jason and I went to a concert last weekend. We got there before the gates opened and once we got in, headed straight for the front of the SRO space to get a good spot/view. We all stand around for two more hours waiting for things to start. Halfway through the first band, this group of four comes through the crowd, like they're heading for a certain destination. I guess they say excuse me or something so we all try to make room so they can get by. But instead of passing, they stop and stand in the space that we just made for them. So I tap one guy on the shoulder and say "Are you guys planning on standing here the whole time? Because we got here early so we could get good seats, and I literally can't see over you." The guy basically was like "oh, we got here early too" and then turned around like it was my fault his spot wasn't saved for him. Later, the guy has the audacity to both flip me off and call me a bitch. The worst part is that he and his group spent more time leaning over to talk to each other, checking their cell phones, making phone calls, sending texts, etc. than they did watching the show. They take turns leaving, and then make it a point to elbow/shove us trying to weasel back through the crowds. Lesson: Plan accordingly for the things you want (such as a good seat/view) by arriving on time/early, just like the rest of us. And don't try to intentionally ruin someone else's (concert-going) experience just because they called you out for being a douche in the first place.

2. Jason's mom and aunt have been working hard to put together a wedding shower for us, which is taking place next weekend. They're taking care of everything from food to entertainment (all we know is when to be there) but they had us handle the invitations since we know who we wanted to be there and addresses and such. On the invites, it clearly says to call Jason's mom to RSVP by August 25 (yesterday.) We even emailed, facebooked and imed everyone reminding them to do so. Today we find out that literally half of our wedding party didn't even bother to call. 2a. Then when confronted, one of our guys says he didn't think the shower was a big deal worth asking off work for and then expects us to not be mad. Lesson: if you don't think it's important enough, fine. That's another issue to be dealt with separately (Lesson 2a I guess.) But please have the decency to RSVP, especially if it's something that a third party is going to the trouble/effort of setting up for us. Because that's not just poor prioritizing, it's being plain rude to the hostesses who were just trying to do something nice for us.



I'm sure I'll think of something else, but those are the two main things bugging me right now. It's like people all of a sudden have stopped giving a flip about anyone else around them. Everyone stop being so damn selfish!
