Ignorant human beings

[chaffey]

i just spent 5 days in eurodisney with the kids....dont talk to me about ignorant rude human beings!

 

Good god. Another person not too impressed with the place. I went there about 5 years ago and do you know my whole opinion of the place was horrible arrogant people that don't really give two hoots about anyone else!! Needless to say i'm not going again:lol:. I presume after re-reading your quote that the people were ignorant and rude, not the kids:lol:

God love you mate. 5 days on holiday and still finding things to complain about. What did you expect going to France for a holiday?

 

Ah so true, France does just what it says on the tin:001_tt2:

well despite the general attitude of people, it was mainly the amount of queue jumping....but there were a few stand out incidents. one day we were sitting in a restauraunt waiting for a table and a little boy pushed my boy off his stool so he could sit there.....the parents did nothing! on the last night we saw princess jasmine so went over to get a photo, we got to her first, just as we did a woman approached and pushed her 2 kids in front of mine....bit my tongue yet again(not really the place to get in a slanging match), then just as it was our turn this 45 year old bloke pushed in front of ethan to get her autograph.....unbelievably, this was for him, he didnt even have kids with him.....that was pretty much the last straw and i physically put my arm out and pushed him back and ushered ethan forward. i'd really had enough by this point and i think if that guy had reacted to what i did my actions after wouold have been spontaneous and uncontrollable!!

I know how u feel steve I'm not a violent person at all but since my boys have been born it's like people keep testing my patience and I nearly kick off but don't because of the boys I dread when they get to school age and come home saying there getting picked on

That's what happens when the PC brigade have their fingers in all the pies I'm afraid. Kids growing up without manners or respect for others. With regards to the numpties who don't acknowledge when you pull over; My little truck only does about 70kph with the chipper on and I cover a fair distance to get to work so obviously deal with a lot of traffic. I always keep hard left, pull way over if there's even one car up my date and signal for them when it's clear. I gets my goat the amount of people who can't even be bothered to wave, especially when, by law, I don't have to pull over until there's seven cars behind me. Truck drivers and bikies are the best, the locals a close second but the ignorant anus' that come from the big smoke drive me nuts. Top that up with the knobs that are in more of a hurry than an emergency vehicle with its blues and twos going. Mind you, I know a guy that had a couple of big rig air horns stuck on his disco. Scared the bejesus out of the ignoranuses.

I know how you feel lorry, i have two young girls (5 & 7), i'm murdererly protective of them now, god knows what i'll be like when they're older.

[Mesterh]

Yep there too many people with no manners whatsoever!

 

A quick thanks, nod of the head, smile or a wave cost absolutely nothing especially when someone has obviously gone out of their way to help you.

 

The next time someone doesn't even acknowledge my existence when I hold a door open for them might just find themselves being tripped up:sneaky2:

Why do other tree surgeons find it so difficult to wave.

Last winter we towed 4 vehicles behind our L200. Granted we should have done it one at a time but it was on a very gentle uphill slope and the cars couldnt get up it. Only one person said thank you and that was one of the big land owners for the current section of trailway in north dorset. The rest of them just unhitched when we got to the main road and continued on their journey. Its so frustrating. I think the worst case of ignorance i have had to deal with is a member of the public who had a largish 3 stem sycamore leaning over their house. We removed it 3 weeks later and the member of the public didn't like the massive hole we had left and wanted it replanted with Pyracantha to stop people walking down the 1 in 3 slope that was covered in flattened brambles. The member of the public will be extremely upset this winter as we are having that section clear felled as the majority of the trees are nackered (tight forks, splits, severe squirrel damage, etc). Hopefully they wont complain about he leaves this year. lol

some people can be ignorant and just down right unhelpful....

 

Went to work this morning feeling a little unwell but needed the money so went anyway. By the time 11 o'clock came i was up a mahoosive conifer and feeling rather unwell and feverish (man flu i thought, so i carried on). In the end i had to get home, told the customer i'd be back in the morning and started to drive home. On my way home i started to get pins and needles ALL over my body but it was affecting my hands which had clasped shut and my vision which was blurry, i was also breathing too rapidly and nearly crashed the car.

 

I pulled over to be sick at the side of the road but no joy, pins and needles where getting worse, i could hardly speak and only just managed to dial 999 on the phone as i was genuinely worried something was wrong... As i was trying to speak to the operator who was finding it very difficult to understand me, i couldn't remember where i was so crawled to the front of my car and tried to wave to someone to stop.

 

AT LEAST 9-10 cars drove past and looked at me and NOT ONE stopped!! eventually a jogger came past and spoke to the emergency services about my location.

 

Well after spending, 4 hours in hospital this afternoon strapped to a heart monitor and blood pressure device turns out i have a sickness bug, very low blood pressure and apparently am doing to much (yes i am a big girl) but the point is... NO ONE STOPPED!
