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...
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.

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

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.

These Kind Of People
because conception entitles a human to literally do anything to anyone they want.... (sarcasm to the extreme in this statement)
Park right up next to them, take a picture of the sign, their car, and license plate. If there is a dent from a door in your car when you get back to it, you have evidence to file a police report and have them fix the damage. Investigators can match the paint.
Match the paint? It's not a murder investigation! no one is spending that kind of lab money on a ding of a car door. Also investigator? Not unless you hire a private person no police would investigate this. But I think it would be a good idea to park close step away and pull out your phone and film them as you're filming walk up to the car and wave them as you unlock your car

I've never understood why people who have children feel so much more entitled than the rest of society! (No not EVERY PERSON but the majority) just because you decided to have unprotected sex and procreate does NOT make you any more important or any better than those of us who decided to not have them. This whole culture of children being the end all be all of society and putting them on a pedestal needs to end or we are gonna end up with many MANY more entitled little brats and BP is going to be full of posts like this. Parents please for the fifties discipline your kids and teach manners!
*future not fifties....Although in the fifties children WERE much better disciplined and not treated like royalty just for being a child...sooooo ya

How about this person started learning to park INSIDE the spot instead of telling others that THEY shall be carefull because THIS person has a baby?.. What the F*** is wrong with people?
why are these "people" allowed to reproduce?!
Load More Replies...
I carry post it notes and a marker with me for people like this, I would leave a note saying " I don't care that you have a kid that was your choice, you park like shit and I have your license number. If my car is damaged in anyway I will be calling the police. "
It should read "I use my baby as an excuse to be a total a**hole"
Well I mean it's rude. But you don't know how the parking situation was when the car arrived. Maybe there were two cars parked next to it even more out of the lines and this was the only spot left, but to fit in and be able to leave the car this was the only way? I was often forced to park like this by other cars and was always afraid how it would look if they left actually
I hear you but in that case they should peel that decal off because it’s not improving the optics of the situation.

I saw a similar bumper sticker that said something along the lines of "baby on board. Get off my fucking ass!" in fancy writing to make it look less threatening
I saw sooo many woman who think they can do everything they want because they shit out a baby.... and it makes me so angry. It doesn´t matter you have a baby or not - treat others with respect and do not act like a dumb cow
How dare they! They can't even park within the white lines and they threaten anyone who parks next to them! What dick wads!
I could care less about your fucking spawn. If i ever see a sticker like that on a car i will put a fucking 'ding' in it the size of a football stadium!
But just the fact that these type of car stickers are even made though....
those "baby on board" things are meant to let the emergency services know to look for your child in an accident.
I would be ok with this sticker if the person didn’t park like a dingleberry
Stupid is as stupid does....she thinks she's intittled, although she's never heard what goes around comes around. Someone will ding her shit.....!!
Very close to where I live someone parked their car like that. (They had no baby or message stickers on the windows.) Then someone else put a view writing-case underneath their window wiper with a piece of paper with the message "Someone who parks like that shouldn't procreate" and a condom in it.
To be fair, it's possible that the cars on either side parked off centre first and when they pulled out, this one was left there looking like a jerk. I know, it's happened to me!
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing the way she is parked, I would have parked my ol' truck so close you couldn't get a cigarette paper between 'em, then watch her "ding" her own car getting out of there.
I sort of understand the message but be nice to be more polite about it. Babies do need room to be taken out of the car without banging them I know I watch my daughter in law do it... You guys can't be asses about this and say mum's think they are entitled. I just think it's nice to be thoughtful towards older disabled and parents. Life is harder then. This message is not nice but the thought to give more room should be there anyway
I'd be wishing that I had a red tube of lipstick where I could point out her lousy parking.
Always carry a large magic marker. Write on their windshield, "Park like this again, and I'll torch your car."
I have a supply of these in my car & my purse. Feel free to copy. Parking-Ca...4e7c26.jpg 
But, perhaps the person who previously parked to her left, was way to far over on her side...just maybe...
Well, honey, next time “stay in your lane” and don’t HOG two spaces—just bc you have a baby. You’re not the ONLY one who’s got an infant.
I'd use something, not my car door, to ding their shit, even if I wasn't parking there. I know that sounds rude, but hey the owner of that car thinks they are entitled to be a asshole.
I always wonder if there were exenuating circumstances. Maybe it was the last available spot and the car to their left was already intruding on the spot. Unless I actually see it happen, I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Still, though, someone with that sign in the window invites criticism.
I would back in too close for them to get between the cars and open their door. I have a rusty Volvo: ding-it, dummy!
I would sticky note "HEY--THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM! And locate some nice strong sticky things to put all over the car!
Thank you for acknowledging right up front that you are not capable of managing your daily use of your vehicle. Thank you for acknowledging responsibility for the damage that you caused to others. My insurance agent says that he can use the information provided from your vehicle to file the claim.
Yep and when some rat bag woman parked in a disabled spot just because she had an ankle biter in tow thought she had the right and gave cheek when a genuinely disabled person needed it.
Well, stay within the lines and there shouldn't be a problem...!!!
I think it's kinda smart. I know how that is, because my mother was pregnant. And when she was, it was very hard for her to get out the car. When my brother was born she still had the same problem
Breeding made this person "line blind" "Honey, I've got better insurance!!!"
To be fair... When you have baby in a Maxi Cosi seat, you need the room to open your door... But she would have a lot more room to open the door if she's park inside the lines.
This pic at face value and shitty label suck, yeah, but for those whinging about parents of babies and small children generally wanting better parking (that is provided in many Aus shopping centres), other parents understand. Childless 'entitled' shits totally fail to appreciate that those children will be expected to support them and their medical costs via taxation as the population ages.
I'm a "childless entitled shit" as you call us and I do not expect any of your shitty kids to support me.

Plastic Confetti Left Behind By A Gender Reveal Party In A Public Park
Imagine Going To A Baseball Game And Having Feet Beside Your Face

Note: this post originally had 71 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
I had to stop looking at those pictures, as I felt my heart rate increasing. What a bunch of ignorant, filthy, disrespectful and badly behaving people. We as a society should blame them way more often. Don't let them get away with this. If you see anything like this, call them out. Don't just ignore it. In most cases people with low wages have to clean after them and if that is not enough, some people treat them like slaves or are ignorant enough, to not even think about it. This is just not okay. Period. If you are someone who acts like this – Shame on you!
What is terrifying is this is becoming normal behaviour. So very sad.
And so many people shying away from any kind of confrontation with those asswipes. That's only empowering them.
Holy heck, AMEN MATE. I don't think I've seen anything as extreme as the idiots in this list, but I have to say, as someone currently working in retail, it pains me that I'm not allowed to shame some of the people who come into my store and take advantage of my forced silence. It's so unfair. I legally am not even allowed to call someone out on stealing. I'm forced to watch them leave the store, and THEN tell my manager. Like seriously? I WANT TO CALL THEM OUT!
Thank you! Well said.. Wish I hadn't looked at all these pics as well, it's so stupid and unnecessary what humans can do -_-
I said the same thing. People are just disgusting
I agree, Marc, but in America, there are concealed carry laws and you never know what kind of person you're going to come across..... The kind of person to do this kinda shit overlaps with the kind of person that would carry a concealed weapon way more frequently than is comfortable.
At my husband's multi million international company (well, he only works there) he tells me the bathrooms are a complete disaster. Feces is smeared all over the walls, even used to write things with. Most troubling thing is, the employees there are all learned people, they are all educated in a high skill. The company is a healthy and happy company, takes care of its people, has 3 company outings/events a year, bagels every Friday morning, catered lunches, group morale outings.....they go all out for them. It doesn't make sense. Seems like you simply get assholes, absolute asholes. And there is no explanation for their behaviour at all. My husband says they have gone through three janitors in the year that he has been there. I don't blame those men.
come to singapore where this is considered normal
.
Here here, Marc!!!!!!!!
This topic reminds me of a joke that Jimmy Carr did: "A man threw his trash on the ground saying "They have people for that" so I beat the hell out of him and said "They have hospitals for that." "
Completely agree... even during childhood if i had done something like that in public she would have made me clean everything after smacking me...
My dad would totally smack the side of my head for shit like this, people have no manners or respect
👍🏼😂
So many inconsiderate, selfish bloody wankers. Seriously, they should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely deplorable.
Shame is not in their vocabulary, as well as basic consideration of others !!!
So what percentage of the population are sociopaths? So many of these are simply annoying, but others verge on pure evil. When did rules of behavior apply to everyone but us?
I really should NOT of viewed this article, I'm getting those "want to kill" urges again.
As long as you only kill the people from these articles, society will forgive you.
It's sad to say that I frequently have to witness this kind of behavior. My faith in humanity has been lost for a long time.
I have absolutely no problem calling these assnuggets out for their rude behavior. It's quite funny really because most of them are sitting down when I do and they stand up trying to be all bad ass to me. I am a woman (duh right? ) but I am also 5'11 and I work out. Most of the time they are shorter than me and they realize that they don't stand a chance. I am a lover not a fighter but they don't need to know that haha. Anyways, I just don't tolerate this sort of behavior!!
1. People who litter everywhere (especially smokers, I see dozens of them a day thrwoing cigarette butts just anywhere). 2. People who take 2 or more seats in crowded buses or benches 3. people who take a whole sidewalk walking very slowly or just standing there talking or whatever. Move! 4. idiots who park just anywhere not only bloking road and cars but also endagering people by blocking view and to avoid police and ticket they switch on those "blinker" lighrs like car is broken. It's not. There are dozens and dozens idiots like that parked blocking whole right lane. 5. People who sneeze and cough around instead of using the tissue, especially in closed areas like buses. I don't want your germs! 6. smokers who blow smoke at everyone. I am alergic. 7. people who cut in line. Wait like everyone else. 8. People who take children in crowded, too warm or too cold or generally unpleasant places (unless they really have to) without any reason but to get over everyone in line or get a seat.
I used to be a smoker (10+ years ago), but I have since become extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke. It burns my throat/nostrils, causes me to sneeze, etc. Anyway, a lot of smokers think that people just make up being allergic to it. Even when I smoked, I would NEVER smoke & walk down a sidewalk. I think that is so disgusting to essentially blow your smoke in everyone's face behind you. Yuck yuck yuck!!
My husband used to throw his butts all over the place and I called him out. He now carries a pouch around and sends the butts in for recycling. You can get pouches from American Spirit for free and Terracycle will pay for shipping up to 10lbs! They melt the filters down and make hard plastic materials like public benches.
I would add: 9. Dog owners who take their dogs to public areas and let them pee in the thresholds and don't pick up the poo. Then people say: "dogs are dirty". Wrong. Dogs are not dirty, they are just animals. Humans are dirty, inconsiderate and stupid.
I'm a smoker and it's one of my BIGGEST peeves when people just throw thier butts all over. When I go camping/fishing I cant even count how many I pick up in the woods or on the shore lines. It's not that hard to find a trash, tuck the butt away till you find one, or just not smoke if theres no where to throw the butts away.
I really think everyone should be required to work some kind of service job where they have to work with customers for at least a year. It would cut down on a lot of this crap.
It's a good idea. I would personally hate it but I have a lot of time for people who work in jobs like waiting tables or dealing with customers in shops. They are tough jobs and usually underpaid as well.
There's no money in the world to pay for the amount of patience and tolerance required to work in retail, hospitality, etc. I really admire people who deal with people on daily basis and keep a smile at the end of the day.
Oh my god, I can guarantee a large portion would see this as some sort of punishment. I completely agree though!
I'm 50 years old. In my lifetime I've watched morals slipping more and more. Trying to raise my kids with manners seems so pointless. I've finally had enough of morons - I was lucky enough to find a cheap old house in rural France far away from anyone and I can't WAIT to move! Goodbye, cruel world...
Take me with you? Please & thank you. Hahaha Honestly, that sounds like heaven.
You know who else needs to be on this list? People who change their babies in the parking lot...then leave diapers on the ground.
Or the swimming pool locker room, on the bench just outside the shower room.
I was at a Fred Meyer once when a woman was pushing a cart with her 3 year old around as the child screamed at the top of her lungs. This went on for at least 10 minutes. The child wasn't in distress..she was screaming for the fun of it. But I could hear seniors hearing aids whistling from the sharpness of the scream. I approached the woman and asked her if she get the girl to calm down because of how it was effecting other people shopping. She said "Oh she's not screaming..she's singing." Excuse me? She was approached by other shoppers and still refused to quiet the child down. I approached the manager who in turn..told her to take the child outside until she calmed down. The woman stomps off saying "HOW RUDE!! SHE'S JUST SINGING!!" Again..excuse me?
Talking about trash, these people deserved the fucking title.
I'm sorry for my profanity in some of the posts above but people like this are disgusting and disgraceful in so many ways. The bread kneeling woman would have had me in her face and she would have paid for those loaves of bread. I hate people like that. Makes my blood pressure go up and my mind go to very dark places about what I would do about MANY of those situations! Un FUCKING believable what folks think is OK to do!
No discipline, no set by example from parent(s) in a child's formative years.
I’ve officially lost my faith in humanity
Just like that time two women were in Winners with their little dog that crapped in the middle of aisle and when we confronted them about it - told them they shouldn't have a dog in the store in the first place - they grabbed a pack of wet wipes off the shelf and quickly left without paying for them
Makes me think of each existing swear word on earth
Yep, seen this behaviour many times when I was a school teacher. Student response was that if I cleaned up after myself then the school cleaners would not have a job. Sometimes parent/carers would back their child so that meant total refusal. So what you see in these pictures are people older and younger who are displaying a sense of entitlement to do whatever they want and if confronted will most likely threaten you.
I've never understood behavior like this. I've always seen it as self serving and disgusting.
This made me so angry!~ I wish I hadn't looked at this. I can't believe how disrespectful and disgusting people are :(
If I were religious: I would pray that all these people go to a very special place in HELL, FOR ALL ETERNITY!
The scary part is that these people either already vote, or they are going to someday.
Yeah i'm angry now, i hate people.
Shopping carts and those who leave them loose in parking lots -- particular those who leave them in disabled spots -- are my personal rant. I have a disease that is destroying the soft tissue in my joints and live in a constant state of pain. Yet, I can somehow manage to return my cart to the bin even in bad weather. Meanwhile, I watch obviously fully abled people leave their carts so they easily roll into other cars, block slots and/or block disabled slots. It's the height of both laziness and inconsideration.
This was just in case if someone is sceptical about the need for strict rules in the society. In the same time we have countries such as Singapore or Japan where the ratio of antisocial idiots to normal people is in favour of normal. Of course, definition of normal can be always stretched for the convenience of idiots.
Very***
I agree with Marc, NOT ONE PERSON SHOULD DO ANY OF THESE!!!! IT IS BERY RUDE AND COULD GET YOU IN JAIL!!!!!!
