one more bit of off-topicness to go before I attempt to help this get back on-track

the kid? he was 8-9 yrs old... wasnt throbing at the mouth, or throwing a fit, he was screaming that he didnt want to be at the store
the mom? she wasnt calmly waiting for him to quit, she was looking around trying to find the father (incidentally, I found out the other day that they are my neighbors)

I have severe adhd, along with a laundry list of other mental illnesses that present as severe paranoia. a short fuse, and the ability to be depressed as hell even on the best day of my life, or completely goofy on one of the worst, when I acted up, it was dealt with immediately, it seems things have changed since then, though my views have not.

now, im not saying that what I did was a wonderful learning exp, that will certainly help said child grow into a wonderful adult, I was relating it as something I did that seemed to fit within the same vein as the OP

now then, back OT

while sitting on the bus, if I dont want anyone to sit next to me I generally talk to the seat as a real person, seems to always garuntee my comfort

what about when you're on a crowded flight, obviously occupied doing something (reading, working on a laptop, got the iPod earplugs in, etc) and the person with dragonbreath/overdose of perfume or cologne seated next to you wants to tell you their life story,,,,




SinLee -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/13/2008 10:16:50 PM)

i must be the sane one, i put my teddy bear in that seat and talk to him...

jlf1961 -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/13/2008 10:24:06 PM)

I dont dare talk to any stuffed animals, they may be working for 'them'




SinLee -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/13/2008 10:24:50 PM)

OMG! Mister Bear is SO not working for "them."  How dare you! He's a very loyal bear!




jlf1961 -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/13/2008 10:26:57 PM)

tell them this one first

*at the age of five my testicles were ritualistically shorn, there really is nothing like a shaven scrotum, it feels incredible I really suggest you try it

lmao!

This doesn't work in stores, but when I get one of those phone calls at dinner time, you know, do I want to change phone companies? etc, I ask if they would mind holding for one second. I just put the phone down and go about my business. Some die hards keep waiting, so if you check after 30 minutes and they're still holding, apologise and say you won't be much longer and go watch tv. They eventually give up[:)]

Actually, there is another very interesting way to deal with this type of person.

As soon as they begin speaking, look at them straight in the face and say, with all the official seriousness you can, "We already know all that."

Now, we have all been there, in line at the store, either in checkout, customer service, or getting or dropping off a perscription.
And there is always someone in line that just seems hell bent to get on your last nerve.

Ah yes, the checkout line. One evening, while waiting in said line, 2 18-19ish anorexic looking girls behind me had one of the typical Hollywood rumour mags and were going off, loudly and rudely, about how much weight some star in her early 40s had gained. After listening to them describe this person as a "f***ing pig" and worse, I leaned my not skinny self in their direction, gave them a nasty look, and said, "Wait 20 years, girls, karma is a bitch and you just put a firecracker up her ass." They shut up.

In the same store, I once overheard a 13 or so y/o tell his mother, "F-you, I said I want the Lucky Charms, bitch". I looked him dead in the eye and said, "To this day, my mother would beat the ever-loving SHIT out of me if I EVER talked to her like that." The kid blanched and mother fluttered and waffled, mumbling "He would report me if I punished him". Like WTF???

I too have had issues with annoying teenaged girls... one of whom, at a clothing store (I forget which one) wouldnt leave me the hell alone, and kept seeking out my opinion (I was with a rather well-dressed female friend of mine, going clothes shopping after a bad relationship of hers ended)
Finally I turned around and said

"There is nothing that either I, nor the entire cast of 'Queer Eye' could do for you, your best bet is to pretend to be a zombie"
My friend was laughing her ass off for the rest of the day, so it worked all around :)

I  have a major problem with sales people, both types, the ones that wont leave you alone long enough for you to even think about a purchase, and the ones that are too busy talking on a cell phone to help you.

To deal with the first, I simply look them in the eye and say, "I am looking for annoying sales person removal cream, you know, preperation h?"

As for the second, if I have waited over three minutes, I walk out, saying, "These people are too busy with their own lives and cant be troubled to deal with such unimportant people as customers!"  in a voice loud enough to be heard in the entire store.

It is funny how many people will actually stop shopping, look around then begin to walk out as well.

I was at the store the other day, and there was this kid on the floor, throwing a fit
I looked at him, and said, in my meanest calm voice "Shut the fuck up"
he looked at me, fear very evident on his face, and shut the fuck up
his ma, instead of thanking me, started yelling at me (ungreateful twunt!), so I said to her, in the same voice "Get out of here or im going to eat you both"

she ran off

it was great

ok.. here's the thing.  Both DLS and I are very conscious of how our um's behave in public and insist on them not bothering other people.  That being said, if one of mine were on the floor throwing a tantrum and I was watching it without acting on it, then I am employing a tactic where said um would have to realize that I don't care what sort of manipulation they were using on me, it won't work.  Sort of "Ho-HUM" ae you done now? cuz you still aren't getting what you wanted."
Now Asher, awesome as you are, if you had come up and said to my kid, "Shut the (almost any other word except FUCK) up!"  I probably woud have been happy, thanked you, and hoped that my um was embarassed as hell.
The fact that you used the ultimate curse word to my um was where I would have flipped out.  I have big issues with people talking like that around any kids.. Especially MY kids..

I spose its a difference in upbringing... with the people that raised me curse-words didnt actually exist, or at least there was no particular stigma to using them (Hard to tell a bunch of bikers not to say fuck around the littluns)

as I put in later, when I realized the situation wasnt clear enough, it had jack to do with any tactic, and more to do with a person either too overwhelmed to properly handle thier offspring, or a shitty parent, since I've been paying more attention after finding out how close to me they lived, ima go with option 2

BSB, you rock, jus sos ya know :)

the one that gets me is when i'm at a restaurant and the kids in the booth behind me on either side think it's cute to stare or pick their noses or whatever and the parents look over and think i should think it's cute because they do.  NOT!


I hear you.. that's when I lock my eyes on the parent until they become uncomfortable and correct the situation.  I make my point with silence quite effectively.  (It looks like my 3rd pic in my profile! )LOL
