Our Dorm Building Only Has One Facilities Person To Clean, She Works So Hard Yet The People On My Floor Are Still Disgusting. I Can't Blame Her For Leaving This Note
According to the website PsychMechanics, there are some basics about the psychology of selfishness that we all should know:
A selfish person is the one who puts his own needs first. He's primarily concerned with himself and seeks out only those activities that fulfill his own desires and wants. Anything wrong with that? I don’t think so.
Going by that definition, we're all selfish in one way or the other. All of us want to do things that are ultimately for our own good and well-being. This type of selfishness is good and desirable.
So far so good. The problem arises when we do things for ourselves and at the same time ignore the needs of those around us or when we fulfill our needs at the expense of others. When you make life difficult for others to meet your own ends, then that kind of selfishness is the selfishness that you’d like to avoid.
Even Though I Don’t Work Here, The Parents With Their Children In The Photo Made A Mess In The Toy Aisle At A Store. I Feel Sorry For Whoever Would Have To Clean That Up
This Lady Kneeling On Bread While She Looks At Other Bread
Sorry, but why didn't you say anything instead of making photos? Don't let people like this get away with sh** like this. The reason they are acting in this way is because they don't care, as no one probably ever told them to stop. Again, this is disrespectful and shouldn't be ignored!
There are several reasons that could make someone selfish...
A person who holds on to his resources and doesn't give it to the needy can be considered a selfish person and this is the type of selfishness that we commonly refer to when we say that someone is selfish.
When we say that someone is selfish, we usually mean that he doesn't share his resources (money, time, etc.). Now, why won’t a person share his resources, even if it's the best thing to do in a given situation?
The biggest reason is that he thinks he doesn't have enough. A selfish person, therefore, is also likely to be stingy. This insecurity of not having enough motivates a person to hold on to his resources and not share them.
If You Or Your Kids Think That It's A Good Idea To Leave The Cinema Like This, Damn You
He/She Saw Nothing Wrong With Parking There
People who do this deserve to get their car damaged by the air ambulance crew and their streacher. It's probably the only way they'll learn.
Another reason is a fear of losing control. If someone has many needs and goals, then he overvalues his resources because he thinks that these resources are going to help him reach his goals. If he loses his resources, he loses his goals and if he loses his goals he feels he has lost control over his life.
For example, a student who doesn't share his study notes with others is the one who has high academic goals and sharing notes could mean losing an important resource that could help him reach his goal. And not being able to reach your goals is a perfect recipe for a feeling of loss of control over your life.
In other cases, the way a person was raised can also make him act in selfish ways. The only child or the child whose every demand was met by his parents (spoilt child) learns to take as much as he can and give very little back.
Such children learn to care only for their needs with little empathy or consideration for others. As children, we were all like that to some extent but gradually we began to learn that other people have emotions too and so developed empathy.
Some people never learn empathy and therefore remain selfish, just like when they were kids.
Urgh...
That is beyond nasty. I can't believe how rude and disgusting people are. Those feet look like the smell like swampy sewer and ass!
Even sparkly clean feet are gross but this! What the hell man do you even bathe, ever?
Legs look shaved so I’m guessing it’s a woman

I think I would "accidentally" spill my fresh steaming hot cup of coffee on them.
That moment when you spill something on someone, but you're actually doing them a favour.
Load More Replies...
Ding, ding, ding, ding, DING!! Calling a Flight Attendant for Seat Upgrade or at the very least to bring Clorox wipes to clean that arm rest after those utterly disgusting feet are moved.
I wonder how the jerk would respond if you started wiping down his feet with said bleach-wipes.

I would have broken every one of those nasty ass, hobbit-looking fucking toes. Get those the. Fuck. Away. From. Me. You. Complete. Degenerate. Ugh.
Ugh. I was eating while I was scrolling through this. I just lost my appetite.
That is a big no, i would hit them with something sharp until they were out of sight.
I would have gotten something and wacked those feet down. If the owner complained I would just say I thought they were a dirty rat or something!
I nearly had to throw up... No, just no. Disgusting! I mean, don't you have any self-respect at all?
If you do, do it there! Now who's more disgusting?
Load More Replies... This is why airlines distribute those slippers or socks on long haul flights...use it
I once "accidentally" spilled hot tea on someone's foot because of this.
How do you go out in public and show those disgusting, unhygienic feet?!
Looks like chipped polish on those nails. Strike up a friendly conversation: "Were you held captive for long before you escaped?"
That's just nasty. I think I would have to "accidentally" slam my elbow on them and play dumb that I didn't realize those skank feet were there. Just trying to use my arm rest.
I would have poured some water on them. Last time I was in the movies and this jerk in the back row put his feet on the top of the seat beside me, then started snoring. I tied his laces together and then tied those to the seat. Pity I couldn't stay to watch when he woke up.
Happened to me in First Class from Auckland NZ to San Francisco....told them to move them or they would be moved for them.
wtf, is washing your feet such a chore? that feet looks like it hasn't touch any water for a month
This person would have no option but to wash their nasty ass feet after I threw up on them. People are disgusting.
Too bad you can't carry a knife in a carry-on bag. Would be useful to give these disgusing feet a good stab.
You don't take a picture. You tell them to get their fucking feet down. That is all.
OMG I would be so LIVID if someone parked their nasty filthy feet near me like this. There is NO excuse for having feet this dirty, except for mental illness!
Erghh Why does it look like hair between the little toe. such a weird placement if that's hair
Whoever those feet belong to is just about ready for a double amputation.
Y'all if I turned in my seat & saw this I would have screamed "OH MY F*ING GAWD" I'm so serious! Then hit the attendant button while turning around to tell that person if they don't wanna hobble for life GET YOUR FILTHY FEET OFF MY ARMREST! Just all holy hell to the no!
This is why we *should* be allowed to tale sharp objects onto flights!
You turn around and ask "Is this necessary?" if you dare to do it. Wouldn't dare to do it with one person I occasionally see on the bus loudly talking to someone in his head and in one case spitting (with a lot of phlegm) on the bus floor.
Stab her with a pencil! Lmaooo Disgusting she outta be ashamed of herself.
I think I would scream if this were me. Very very bad manners! Goodness!!!!
This is not your home, act like you where not born yesterday and hav e a little respect.
Give em a little tickle!!!! joking - all these comments have me in stitches though!!
How is it possible to have feet like this? I don’t care is this dude looked like The Mountain, I would say something
That's wrong on so many leaves & disrespect full to the person in front
Toes would have been broken by me in 30 seconds if they weren't removed. End of story
This is putrid! I would certainly complained to the flight attendant.
Biggest annoyance when flying out and back home to Vegas. The people that feel the plane is their personal toilet.
Part of the problem is that is no doubt a “younger person”...for some reason some of that generation missed out on the lesson on courtesy.
I would have smacked there feet with a newspaper or magazine LOL ok-thats-j...e27014.jpg 
OMG what a vile pig. Probably one of those travelers abroad who beg for money so they can “see the world”
That looks like a disease waiting to find a new home. . . hopefully you did more than take the photo.
Jesus in a hand basket!!! Why on earth would you do that?? Especially if your feet look like you've waded in a septic tank!
Sorry, but I would sit up in my seat on my knees and tell this disgusting person to get his or her nasty feet off off of my armrest. In those words.
Oh dear, I happen to be doing my embroidery, and my eyesight is poor, the (very sharp) needle keeps slipping off the fabric...
That is disgusting. It's bad enough when people have clean feet, but to put your filthy feet up like that is just gross. Never thought I'd say this but what the hell is wrong with people today?
this is the moment when carrying a small bottle of bleach could come in handy, or footy
O M G! Makes me want to BARF! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGPYBb2DRsg
" Stewardess ?" as I turn on my light to get him or her there as fast as I can.
No. Just no. I woulda emptied the pepper spray and the Lysol on this clown! Ewwwww! Effing post 9/11 rules. No pepper spray or Lysol on planes! I would have been the one making a scene though. Asking why this person with questionable hygiene was on a plane in the first place.
Maybe this is the real reason why knifes are prohibited on planes now?
Flight attendant...flight attendant. Either tell person to put on shoes or move them to another seat.
WTF?! NOOOOOOO! I wouldn't feel bad for asking to take HER feet off -- in fact I'd stand up and turn around to TELL that grubby person to put HER shoes back on !!!
Seriously if you can't tell this person off you've no right to complain. I don't understand why people put up with this kinda stuff I'd just tell them off!
Was Told To Post This Here. Woman Stomped All Over The Plants In This Conservatory For Instagram Shots Despite Staff Repeatedly Asking Her To Stop
The most important thing to do when dealing with a selfish reason is to figure out the reason for his selfishness and then work on eliminating that reason.
All other methods and efforts of dealing with him are going to be in vain. Ask yourselves questions like...Why is he being selfish? What is he feeling so insecure about? Are you making unrealistic demands of him? Is he really in a position to meet your demands?
We are often too quick to label someone ‘selfish’ instead of admitting that we failed to persuade them or that our demands are unreasonable.
But what if they are really being selfish and you're not just falsely labeling them?
Well then, help them get rid of their insecurity. Show them that they're not going to lose anything by giving you what you want. Or better yet, show them how they may benefit by helping you if there's a possibility of a win-win situation.

This Mother...
as a waitress, I've truly enjoyed telling these parents to pick up their (literally) shitty child & go to the bathrooms. Then blatantly got super-strong disinfectant and cleaned the table while their companions were still there.... and had to deal with the odours of the chemicals. "But madam, I must do this, due to the Health Hazard caused by you / your friend. And no, we can't move you to another table, as they're reserved. May I get you some dessert?" :D :D :D

These Girls Taking Up 2 Seats Each While Other People Have To Stand
When I was heavily pregnant, I had tot ride a really busy bus. Just one seat was free so I went to sit there. The whole bus was full of students. One stop later a old lady with a walking cane came in. No one stood up for her. So I did. That made me so angry. A whole bus full of healthy young people and the only one who is getting up and have to stand is a 7 month pregnant women.
People Hoping To Skip Queues By Standing Like This And Trying To Slip In
Last week I stood with my little son in a long, long line to buy an ice cream. I myself am obviously very pregnant and we stood there already for 15 minutes in the heat when a woman did just that. I walked around her with my son while my huge baby bump touched her and explained to my little boy loud and clear that you did not behave that way in lines, like this young woman did.
