Hate

Something you hate.





People who are just stupidly rude. The kind that don't have an ounce of courtesy in them no matter what the reason may be.

Is it that hard to say excuse me to ask for a bit of space should you need to pass another person rather than barge through, possibly stepping on someone else' toe or hurting the other person? Sorry might be the hardest word to say but if you were courteous enough to say excuse me in the first place, you most likely wouldn't need to say sorry after.

Then there are the kind that don't seem to understand what an appointment is when they decided that canceling right the very minute you're supposed to be there with no proper excuse. If you can't make an appointment, cancel it in advance - like maybe in the 2 hours you had before the appointment? If you're going to be at least 15 minutes late, then let the other party know. Don't leave people waiting for half an hour without a word, or tell the other person "Hey I'm in a hurry, I got to go, will pass you the items tomorrow or next week" right at the very minute the person arrives to meet you. So unless someone died, or is dying at home within the last 30 minutes to the appointment, please don't pull stupid stunts that just piss people off.

Another is to not respect other people's property. If you want to use something that is not yours, do ask the owner for permission. Do put items back where you found them or in the same condition you got them. If you're asked about the specifics of the usage, don't lie and use it for something it shouldn't be used for. If it's meant for a square, don't use it for a rectangle. It would also be nice if you would return things once you're done using them.

Finally, don't take advantage of people's kindness by assuming that they would go out of their way just to do things for you. If you need something from someone, you have to think that they are going out of their way to help you in the first place, so don't go demanding for things. Another thing is, if you should borrow something, do return it to the owner once you're done and not wait till the owner calls for it to be returned. Don't go asking/expecting the owner to come get their own things, especially when they sent it over to you in the first place. It is one way to ensure that no one will loan anything to you though.

In the end, it all boils down to your character. If you're rude, you end up looking rather uneducated and uncultured, which most likely, you are.
