Don't Hate The Hater, Hate The Hate! - - - - - - - Part 19

[Charlie Boy]

I hate thieves. Daily, I find ripped open packages of stolen merchandise. That's annoying. About once every 10 days or so, someone comes in to my job, picks up a high dollar item and bolts out of the store.

In retail they always say to let thieves go. Nothing is worth your life. Which is true, I'd hate to die over something as trivial as a $200 drill... But, not prosecuting or at the very least holding these chumps accountable for their crimes sends a bad message.

 

[Figs]

I hate when people say things like, "that film(or scene) was so terrible that EVERYONE in the theater was laughing".

Once I read that in someone's review or comments on this or that film, I don't take their opinions on said film seriously. With that one comment they destroyed their argument and credibility.

 

[Travesty]

Well, if you were in the same viewing of SM3 as me, you would know that everyone was laughing at all of the bad scenes. And it was glorious!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I hate it when people jump to conclusions, misread or misunderstand what someone else is saying, then other people agree with misunderstanding piling against the misunderstood

 

[Tanin]

I hate when fat people ask me if I'm losing weight, (I've lost 50 lbs and need to lose about 150 more) and when I tell them I am on a diet they get offended.

Me losing weight is not me being judgmental, especially when they ask first. Not like I'm walking up to random fat people saying "I'm on a diet and you should be too"

I agree. I worked at Walmart for two years and as an employee I could get written up if I confronted a thief. They said leave it to the police to deal with, but nobody actually gave a damn about the theft.

Some people work hard to feel offended?

Congrats on losing as much weight as you did, good luck with your quest in losing weight

Happened to me earlier this week. It does suck, especially when you considered that person your friend.

But OTOH, at least you know their true colors and can proceed accordingly. You don't need people like that in your life. Just do what you do, and stupid people can come to stupid conclusions, while the smart people will know the truth.

I always get..."You don't need to lose weight." like if I do they must need it too. It just comes across so passive aggressive.

Thanks. I'm at 340 now and I'm trying to slowly get to 180 (I'm 6'8") It'll take a while as I'm doing it with a 1200-1600 calorie diet (Doctor Approved)

Are you some sort of giant, or mayhaps (teehee) a troll? t: Just kidding.

That's pretty crazy though. I'm trying to lose weight myself and I'm exercising more and trying to eat less. It's slow going but it's working. Keep it up.

The hardest thing is how easy this makes to lose friends
I prefer to try and be patient, in hopes it helps lessening conflicts, and for the people making the mistake find the inspiration to admit they were wrong, and make wiser decisions before acting
The process is unfortunately tough, so tough I need to get more attached to the sandbag

I think we are trolls.. my mom is 5'11 my dad 6'6 and both my brothers 6'7 I just ended up a hair taller then them.

180 at 6'8" for a guy sounds thin to me and it might be unachievable for someone coming down from 300+ lbs. But a goal is a goal, and not getting down to that specific weight won't mean you've failed. Any weight that comes off will be a victory.

It depends on your body type too. I have a fairly low weight but a small frame, so it doesn't look sick. For someone with a stockier frame, they'd look close to death at my weight and height. I've been perfectly healthy at a weight where a lot of women would stop menstruating. It all depends on the person.

I have been ranted at before by friends, but they heard me out as I explained myself with a level head, and then everyone's cool. Sometimes I barely remember what we were so angry about. But true friends value the person and the friendship, not what the other person can do for them.

If they're willing to jump to conclusions instead of hearing you out, they're not your friends.

There can be a little cognitive dissonance associated with that. My "friend" gave me a lot of furniture for free (and I gave her cashmere sweaters for her trip to NY state) mere days before calling me names and ending the friendship over a misunderstanding involving $5 in laundry quarters. But I have to realize that if she was willing to end a perfectly good friendship and rage over something like that, she wasn't my friend to begin with. She was acting nice and generous because in her head she pictured herself as a nice and generous person, and she was just playing the part. But she didn't consider me a friend.

It's a pity, but your life will be better without them.

It's the weight my Doctor want me at. to be specific he wants me to slowly lose down to about 260lbs then start slowly doing muscle training as well as cardio to strengthen my back and he thinks with my issues about 180-210 should be where I end up.

It is a long term goal and yes I am doubtful to be honest my nutritionist says it is possible so *shrug* unless she is an idiot *always possible* I should at least not die from malnutrition.

A different doctor might say something different. Medicine's funny like that. Having a biology background, I know that medicine is just (highly) educated guesses.

At any rate, as I said, any weight you lose from between 340 and probably 220lbs will be a victory.

I work at a bank and this is what I hate whenever a non-bank customer walks into the branch asking if we have a public restroom. We're a bank you goddamn A-holes, not a fast food place, you wanna take a piss and/or dump go take it out the back alley.

Suggest beefing up the store security

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't understand why some people think wearing a carcass on their back that was ripped off an often still-living animal somehow is supposed to make them look "classy".

It has quite the opposite effect.

I hate that too, especially if you have signs all around saying that you don't have a public restroom and they STILL ask.

Also, I hate how hard it seems to be to leave retail. It's like you want to leave because you hate the job but at the same time you're at least working.

A few things I just love (sarcasm) about my job:

- when people act all indignantly shocked about a price that's been exactly the same for years, and I know for a fact they're regular customers

- when people think yelling at a cashier has any effect on prices or policies set by corporate

- how accusatory some people get when their card gets declined. Like we just erase their money off their card, or decline it and lie about their balance for ****s and giggles.

I hate people with horrible handwriting especially when it comes to writing checks, it is almost impossible to read out the written amount.

Of course there's my favorite, whenever a certain item doesn't ring up and a customer goes "I guess that means it's free. hahahaha"

That usually happens in grocery stores all the time.Frankly,I'm usually on the other end of it.I hate it when the cashier makes a federal case out of it and calls the manager who then looks for any loophole possible to get out of giving you the item free.

I'm like,why have the policy at all if giving me a free can of green peas is tantamount to giving me pints of your blood?

And my favorite is when the customer is so fed up with the service that they threaten to never go there again or close their acct entirely, like I'm supposed to say (sarcastically) "Oh please don't leave us, we need the business"
