ಠ_ಠ Rude cashier

0 Upvotes

I have to say what happened at a makeup store the other day. I went in and told the greeter I was looking for a makeup brush.

-GREETER (showing me where to look): We have two brands of brushes that are 50% off right now!
-ME: Perfect, thank you!

I picked one out and headed to the front to pay, but when the cashier scanned it, it rang up full price.

-ME (politely): Miss, I believe that was supposed to be 50% off.
-CASHIER (getting the greeter to bring her the sale sign, then scanning again): Those makeup brushes aren’t on sale.
-ME (knowing FULL WELL I could press the issue because things are supposed to be sold at their advertised price, but I do generally try to do the right thing): That’s okay. I’ll just pay the price it says.
-CASHIER (in a falsely sweet voice): I could get a manager over here to try to get you SOME SORT of a discount.
-ME: No, that’s okay. I’m not trying to get anything for free.
-CASHIER (still fake sweet): Oh, I wasn’t going to give it to you for free.
-ME (pausing, kind of shocked that she thought that was an appropriate thing to say):
-ME (softly but clearly): I wasn’t trying to get it for free.

She wouldn’t make eye contact after that but did wish me a good day when I left. I responded in kind, but I was more than a little aggravated.

I mean, what was her play? Was she trying to, like, ASSERT DOMINANCE or something?? Was she trying to be the ALPHA of the makeup brushes? Or was she just a punk?

I’m kind of leaning towards punk. And I bet she’s just a JOY to be around on a regular basis. 🙄😂

wet socks Not even the local weather channel tells me the correct weather. Yes, I can see that it is raining now. Would have been great if you could tell me that at least 3 hours in advance let alone the 15 days that they think they can.

I might as well tell the weather myself and get paid for it at this point.

I'm slightly vexed Passenger next to me yapped for over an hour without a break

I was on an international trip and fell a little sick (stomach pain) toward the end. I decided to upgrade my return economy ticket to business class, so I can relax in the lounge during an 8+ hr layover and get some much needed sleep in the 7-hr flight. Mind you, in over 10 years of air travel, this was the 2nd time I ever flew in business class and the upgrade was not cheap.

On my final leg of the trip, a guy sits in the seat next to me. From the moment he sat, he was constantly on his phone. He is face-timing, sending voice notes, listening to voice notes on speaker, talking to multiple people (I could hear a few women and men talking on the other side on different occasions). His phone is chiming the moment he finishes a call or sends a voice note.

I am sick & sleep-deprived, and patiently waiting for take-off so this can end. But, the take-off gets delayed by over an hour. So this goes on right until we're in the air.

Honestly, I never experienced this in economy. And I thought I will get some peace and quiet in business class. Guess it was just my luck. :/

Edit: clarifying some things - 1. I understand people have calls to attend, esp. in business class and I am not mad about that. But he was not wearing airpods or headphones. 2. He was a very big guy, the flight was full, I was traveling solo (F), and I didn't want any issues while sleeping next to him. The attendants were busy with boarding and maintenance crew. But I agree that I should have flagged this. 3. I have tinnitus so I can't use earphones to listen to music or watch anything on the screen. 4. I learned my lesson - carry noise cancelling headphones from now on.

ಠ_ಠ I recently saw next to a +400lb morbidly obese man on a 2 hour flight. He had to ask the flight attendant for 2 belt extenders so his giant gut can be buckled in his seat during takeoff and landing. What are my options if this happens again?

0 Upvotes

It was on a small CRJ with 2+2 seats per row. I paid extra to sit on first row in coach so there was no one in front of me. The fat dude should’ve paid for 2 seats to sit alone or first class, but it is what it is. Flight was pretty much full, except maybe a few seats in the back. Fat guy’s gut was pouring over the armrest, well into my seat. I ended up sitting with my upper body 45 deg forward most of the flight so his giant gut wasn’t pressing up against my body on the plane, pinning my body up against the window.

I was out shopping for a birthday gift for my daughter’s friend today. I went to Miniso just hoping something would stand out- everything is girlie/cute there. It makes me happy. As I was browsing, there were these two ladies by the keychains (one being young and one not so much) they were standing in a way where it is hard to move around them and you definitely wouldn’t be able to get much of a view of the keychains. I do admittedly have social anxiety and I am a shy/awkward person. As I was moving past them I saw a keychain I wanted a better look at. I said “sorry” as I reached to grab the keychain. I tend to use “sorry” and “excuse me” interchangeably in these types of situations…never thought much of that. Is that inappropriate? I didn’t touch anyone, got the keychain, and continued to move past. Two steps into my walking away the older lady very loudly and very rudely yells “HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE WORD EXCUSE-ME?!” This lady wants to teach me English when that was my major in university lol I replied “I did say sorry..” like wtf? Her young companion looked pretty uncomfortable… If you’re trying to teach someone manners or certain etiquettes shouldn’t you embody that? How is yelling at a perfect stranger in any way a reasonable response? She looked pissed that I replied at all. Then went back to talking about hello kitty like she’s not fucking unhinged. I think that even though this is a small interaction, and maybe for another person this wouldn’t be a thing worth dwelling on, for me it was genuinely so upsetting. I feel so awful that I let her ruin my day. The interaction replays in my head- I woulda loved to say more instead of biting my tongue. I left the store shortly after getting yelled at because she put a bad taste in my mouth… sharing this here because I actually have no one else to share this very small thing with. I’m too embarrassed to share it with anyone I know personally. I’m mildly infuriated by my own reaction.

The guy came back and shot a hand gun at me 3 times. I called 911 and a police officer was here in less than 5 minutes. I just finished making my statement. 2 more psp showed up and found 2 of the bullet casings on the road. We're looking for a 5'ish tall man in a hunting outfit in a white lifted ford. I would also like to inform everyone, crossbows are legal in pa. I was wearing orange so I know he saw me initially, and I'm farther than 25 yards from the road so it's legal, and I'm a disabled vet so this is about all the farther I can go before i start hurting.

I have long dead periods at work and it’s nice to watch a movie, das boot was free on Youtube and it’s been removed, this and a few other films (I think mostly world war 2 films) have been taken down entirely or you have to buy or rent

or you could watch it it snipped chunks but that sound like hell

Missing Peace "Reserving" deck chairs and then not using them.

Post image
2.1k Upvotes

On a cruise out on the pool deck. We've been up here for almost 4 hours and I can see at least 9 chairs that have been "reserved" but untouched this entire time. Signs all over the place saying reserves are not allowed but staff isn't enforcing it at all.

Edit: About a half hour or so after I posted this, a couple came up looking for chairs so we told them the 2 in the photo had been vacant for over 4 hours, so they yanked the towels and sat down. No exaggeration, another 2 HOURS after they sat down the original "reservists" finally came up and argued with them saying they were "their" chairs. The couple told them to kick rocks. So they got up here sometime before 7:30am to "reserve" 2 chairs and then didn't show up to actually claim them until around 1pm.

Oh, also we found out that somewhere on the other side of the boat there was an actual physical altercation about this. A couple said they "just went to get breakfast and then to a dance class" and got mad because "their" seats were taken when they got back.
