Try Not To Judge: Decide If These 26 Everyday Moments Are Reasonable Or Overreacting

Especially after the 2020's and the COVID era? If we don't say anything or somehow show them they're too close we are under-reacting.

This happened to me recently, the young man at the register did not know how to process a rain check ticket, cashier apologized and handled it fine. The older man behind me starts tapping his car key on the metal repeatedly…so, I decide to engage the cashier even more about the FNAF Tshirt my son had gifted me years ago…safe to say, the jèrköff realized I was not going to rush the kid and stopped.

It really depends. Not everyone has the same boundaries with friends, and not all the boundaries are the same with every friend. It depends also on the reason why the friend show up unannounced. I wouldn't mind in an emergency for sure, for example. If it's an habit and a frequent one, it would bother me. If it happens once in a long while, not that much.

I have a key safe so my close friends can let themselves in if even I'm not home.

What? I’d be over the moon! But I’m that generation.

As a friend generally our social interactions are organised, If they've showed up unannounced they need something which im happy to help with.

If I've justmopped, then the floor is going to be wet. Its unreasonable to ask a person to remove their shoes and walk on wet floors.

Ask them to wait until you get the floor dry - since they obviously didn't think to call in advance.

I don't want to listen to you talking loudly and the person who is talking to you loudly on speaker, like EVER! There! I've said it, and I will die, on this hill, in peace and quiet.

I don’t answer Audio messages at all but everybody in my contact list knows that and everybody else will learn.

Then it doesn’t get listened to, unless I have my earbuds.

How often does mom have an emergency?

My phone exists for MY convenience, not yours.

I wait a month or two on new restaurants anyway.

Complaint to whom?

So, I've noticed that in these questions there's one - this one, actually - that serves PR agencies and we are the test audience.

If you think you're disappointed, imagine what stress the restaurant folks are feeling!

It's not difficult just to say, "Excuse me please."

"Excuse me!" Is a complete sentence.

"A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine."

Some a****t shouted at me and my friend for talking on a train the other day as he couldn't hear the announcement, and then proceeded to watch vids at full volume on his phone.

Headphones. I use them. If I want to listen to something and not disturb others, I use headphones.

Oh... those people pi‍ss me off. In a perfect world I'd get away with kicking them in the face. As I'd probably get stabbed, though, I stick with moving as far away as I can and changing carriages if necessary.

Finish the meal before walking away, especially if you actually are as hungry as the date was rude enough to say you were.

I'd stay and finish the meal, order dessert if I felt like it, pay my bill, and leave. Buddy would be lucky to get a handshake from me.

Answer: Yes.

Eat first, then dip. Why waste God food?

Assuming it's a nice restaurant, no way; I'd be eating that food before I left. It's a nice way for the trash to take itself out, though. (And yes, I would pay for myself on a first date, if it was that.)

If my partner is so exhausted that they're collapsed on the couch. I'd at most make sure he's comfortable because I love him. If I still have energy I'd clean up, if not it'll wait untill tomorrow. Spite doesn't add anything to a relationship. And if you have so much anger over a messy kitchen, you are not in a good place and you should check the state of the relationship and work on yourself. But that's just my opinion.

They will do it when they wake up, or continue sleeping on the couch.

Grabbing it out of their hands is overreacting. Feeling frustrated is not so long as it's not indicated with more than a resigned sigh.

I would be frustrated with myself. The person who got the last one probably thought how lucky they were able to get it. I could never get frustrated with someone who was there before me. First come, first serve and all of that. Those are the rules of the society we live in.

You should have picked it up first and then spent time asking the manager.

It's reasonable to be frustrated, absolutely. As others have said, it's how/if you show that frustration that determines if you're over-reacting.
