I get so tired of...

[countrygirl12]

Stupid people.  People are so rude and inconsiderate.  I was at Taco Bell yesterday and the woman at the speaker was trying to order and she spent at least 10 minutes trying to make up her mind what she wanted and customize items.  She tried to customize EVERY flippin item on the dollar menu and each time was told if you get it for a dollar it is a as is item.  I wanted to go up to her car and smack her.  There were people lined up all the way around the building and no way for us to get out of line.

It's the same thing at Walmart.  You have 3 people walking side by side poking around and won't move and let people walk by them.

I just don't see how people can be so self centered.

Perhaps the girl at the window should have requested that the driver move on instead of taking so much time with her. At Wal-Mart, you can say "excuse me, please" and go on. But you're pretty much stuck in a drive-thru. Although I still think the girl on the receiving end of this should have asked that customer to pull forward, come in and talk to a manager or something.

Did you consider laying on your horn for a while? Just kidding. 

Most people are self-centered and not thinking about others. They should not go through drive-thrus and make considerate people, like you, mad. Life is so not fair.

Yes, I considered laying on my horn.  My mom was driving.  I had to be nice.  And yeah, if I had been at the window I would have said "you need to just come inside or freakin order something on the menu".  If I had had my cell phone with me I would have called the store and asked for a manager and asked if they could tell the b&*^%$^ at the menu ordering to come inside if she can't make up her mind what she wants.  And explain that NOTHING on the $1 can be customized and remain $1.  UGH!   There was a car between us or I might have rammed her.  lol

At Walmart I usually do say "excuse me" and then get looked at like "I" am in the wrong.

You have people doing things like that everyday.  It happens in grocery stores also.  For instance yesterday, I went to the store to pick up a few items.  There was this one woman in line  trying to convince the cashier that all her items were on sale.  I wanted to scream and she wasn't constantly saying I am sorry to those of us being held up by her.  Being sorry for being a *bleep* doesn't cut it for me.

There truly are a lot of people that do not take others into consideration. I crack up at people who always choose the most narrow corridors with which to make decisions.  After a movie people like to chat about the movie in the exit. People that are shopping generally choose to place their carts right in the middle of the aisle so that people can not get by on either side.  After meetings people will congregate in the area immediately outside the conference room so that you need to push your way through.  Your description of people special ordering at a fast food restaurant is hilarious.  I think it is funny how people can be in line at a fast food restaurant for ten minutes, with the menu right in front of them, and wait until they are at the register to make their decision.

That is so fustrating! ! Its sad that our society has gotten this way!

[renee10]

I have gotten dirty looks sometimes when I need to get around somebody at Walmart even though I politely say excuse me. Some folks are just inconsiderate.

[fjaz1]

If you are so smart why didn't you just go inside, what too cold to get out of your car   Maybe she didn't understand the menu lol

People will behave the way they want, The art to live life is control your mind and senses, The only person you can control is yourself. Instead of getting angry and frustrated on that lady, you can just ask your mind and yourself to be in your control.
....Anyway just think....even after you got frustrated angry agitated(..all negative emotions you can list) ...did she changed or heard you?? It was you who created these thoughts and hurt yourself. People behave according to their right or wrong. What you think is right, is right according to your perspective.

Sorry for this long lecture but I had to say it. I heard this from someone and it really helped me to stay calm and in control to some extend. Well now I am at least aware when I get angry and out of control in adverse situation.

This story reminded me of a time where I was the drive thru cashier at McDonald's in college.  Some guy pulled up (but there was no line behind him).  I asked to take his order and he asked for a minute to decide.  After a few minutes, I again prompted him for his order, and he responded, "just a sec".  A few minutes later, he finally started..."I'll have a..a...a..a..a..a..a..a..a.........medium........a...a...a...a...Coke."

To which I asked if he wanted anything else.  He replied, "Nope."  Then I gave him his total and asked him to pull around.

Seconds after that, my manager, also on the headset listening to the whole thing said, "Ten minutes for a medium Coke?!?!?!?"  I had to stifle my laugh when the guy pulled up because I was thinking the same thing.

I still laugh at that memory - was probably my longest time taking a drive thru order.

I get so tired of not telling people no. They telling me what to do, asking me to do this, to do that, I don't have kids for the purpose. My husband is the only exception.

[sarabtrayior]

I think people are just frustrated in life and want to take it our on anybody they can... what do you think?

[alice44]

Times are tough for some people and they  just don't realize how inconsiderate they are.  Chances are they are taken advantage of in their lives, so don't know how to be more considerate.

[davidh121]

There are always going to be inconsiderate people around, but I try to learn and keep myself calm so I don't stress myself more. I try to not think about it further and either leave the situation or just think about something else.  I've been under a lot of stresses already and letting other people's behavior is not worth the extra stress.

I don't think they are self centered as much as simply unaware of anyone else.  "Oblivious" might be a better word.
