[Closed] Still shaking with anger and 'why me?... (Rate my rant; marks out of ten please)

That's a proper crap story. 1.26/10 and you're only getting that cos "arguing" whilst holding a box is a bit harder that "arguing" without holding a box

People still take stuff to the post office? Didn't know they were still going.

Poor.

Man with box has pathetic argument with stupid people.

Nothing to see here

2/10

Why would you want to get yourself involved in that? Hard to see any winner's there.

Poor rant, sounds like no-one came out of it well, which seems like a fair outcome.

Why. Me

Your attitude is the problem. If it were me I'd have deliberately given them a nudge out of the way with a box then given them a sorry and a smile and carried on into the PO feeling pleased with my nasty self.

Should have told them you were posting urgent life-saving drugs to starving refugees.

should have told the woman her mum should hurry up and die so she stops bothing people

Sounds to me like you need to get tooled up and go and 'clean the streets'...

What? cure them just so they can starve, what sort of monster are you?

2/10

I am more than happy to upgrade to a 4/10 if you change the story to include you losing your shit and battering everyone with your large box, which due to poor packaging ends up with the wheels getting bent.

Didn't she know you are an accomplished boxer?

At least it wasn't a Zoo.

He punches little kids?

But, yeah. Don't take stuff to the Post Office eh?

you've sold some wheels - what are you buying with the cash?

You punched a dying grandmother in the face while she was holding the door open for a wheelchair-bound war veteran just because you were in a hurry to cash your giro and pay off your drug dealer?

what is the world coming to??

Not enough detail - what wheel size are we talking?

Whilst perpetrating an E-bay scam on a orphangae based cycle charity with stolen wheels from a vicars bike?

Nil poi ... poor rant and crap story.

You bit! It's their karma and your zenometer went into the red whereas you could be still chilled, smug in the knowledge that you've sold your wheels

Not enough detail - what wheel size are we talking?

More wheels!

Thanks all so far; I do believe that having been on STW forum (with the same user name nonetheless) since I can't remember - I do believe that this might actually be first 'rant'.

lol at all the responses. Yup I wouldn't have bit. You said excuse me, ignore any further response.

and with what authority did the person behind the PO counter have telling you who you can or can't argue with outside of a public building? the very nerve!
it was a POvOP story 3/10 😆

lol at all the responses. Yup I wouldn't have bit. You said excuse me, ignore any further response.

Indeed.

[i] I do believe that this might actually be first 'rant'.[/i]

Nah, I've seen rants on here before. You're not taking credit for that.

Gran carries on repeating that I'd pushed her daughter out of the way

Gran's clearly got mental issues, her daughter was inside the Post Office.

You punched a dying grandmother in the face while she was holding the door open for a wheelchair-bound war veteran just because you were in a hurry to cash your giro and pay off your drug dealer?

Aye,that's the Kingdom centre fir yea. 🙂

Haha, this epically failed post on here might mean you shake for a bit longer. Seriously, "why me" is a classic response that people who don't just let this sort of shit go, come out with. The situation had very little to do with you, "you" would have been any other person that would have entered the shop at that very same moment. Read The Chimp Paradox. After that you should be able to stop thinking "why me". It worked for me.

1/10 dealing with thick and irrational people is an essential skill of life, and when you do it badly you just end up looking like one of them. Not sure I would have shared.

That's a tragedy. Terminal illness at 26.

she might like to teach the children to open their eyes and and take some responsibility for their own (in)actions rather than growing up blaming everyone else.

Here you accept the premise of the acusation. So you did push the child out of the way then. I think that would make for a more interesting story.

The correct response would be to say sorry and then offer to buy some peanuts for her monkey.

'My Mum us dying you know and you've upset all my family now'

I think I'd of said I'm sorry I didn't know that but thank you for telling me it's quite made my day.

I think I'd of said I'm sorry I didn't know that but thank you for telling me it's quite made my day.

A better response woluld be:

'We all are. Act accordingly'.

Bonus points if you can name the film reference.

A roadie eh?

You should have bellowed "STRRRRAAAAAVAAAAAA!" into the childs face before rushing home to check your segment time.

Did her mum wear a sign indicating she was dying? Thought not - hence her daughters complaint is bollocks and intended only to make you feel guilty.

I've known several people who when they were dying, totally failed to start arguments for no reason. How they failed. Now I know this is the custom, I will be starting full on punch ups when I'm about to die!

women, emotional drama - best avoided

Sorry, OP. Forgot to say it obviously wasn't your fault. They are full of entitlement, lack consideration and are obviously just horrible.

sounds like you need to update your reading list...

DezB - Meant to say 'my first rant' but missed out the word 'my'!

Nope, but I can see my wording may have made it sound like that. I made a point of making sure the girl could see me (we made eye contact) and I very clearly said 'excuse me' to her.

Please don't waste the collective's time with irrational, every-day bollocks again, or you will be banned. Hey! I once had a mod mend my computer!

Sometimes you need to just..

Really?! 😉

1/10
You do realise that they will have returned home and had a good old laugh at you with their friends on Facebook, all of which is at your expense.
In fact, I'm going to take that one point back.
0/10

3/10 for the using the post office. I hope you got a tracking number and had it insured. I'm expecting a new thread with Grandma has a new set of wheels rolling to a post office near you.

Bonus point for using a condescending teachers voice +1

And I'm doing exactly the same at their expense!

But...you're still shaking with anger, not laughter... 🙂

But...you're still shaking with anger, not laughter... 🙂

Nope, fine now - STW Forum is, of course, being its normal sarcastic and (most of all) cathartic self! 8)

Won't someone think of the children?

When the OP has children, he'll be able to point out that people like that are just total ****wits, and instruct on the correct response (a reasonably subtle but noticeable middle finger should do it.).

When the OP has children...

Nope, skipped that stage. I just teach them now! 😉

Pity the old lady wasn't in a wheelchair so that your could have released the brake and kicked the back of the chair. That would have given them sufficient reason to whinge at you. Also can't believe the callousness of the daughter, nipping in to the PO whilst her mother is literally dying outside. Harsh.

As this happened in the Kingdom did you ask your sister why nobody had told you your mother was dying and are you still having them round for a three some later?

OP - you should have stuffed the gran, her daughter and grandkids in the box and sent them off with the wheels

you should have stuffed the gran, her daughter and grandkids in the box

you're a teacher? -3/10 - you've got a 6 week break and I'm jealous!

I once ended an argument with an elderly (very) unreasonable neighbour who turned a delay in me finishing building a fence into a personal insult by saying, "at least I'll live to see it finished".....

I just teach them now!

Sounds like they spend all day going round doing things to infuriate people waiting for people to bite ....congratulations u are number 87

Take the rant to mumsnet.. Just to see some crazy sweary female responses.
Start with .. AIBU..? I nearly killed a dying granny to death with a bike wheel in a box at the PO. Please post a link to the mumsnet thread.

Take the rant to mumsnet..

Love it, cloudnine... but I suspect that they've already started their own there!!! 😆

but I suspect that they've already started their own there!!!

AIBU: Dying mother nearly murdered by box.

I think we've met once (Glentress 2006 IIRC) I thought you were a troublemaker then as you were faster then Johnclimber that day 😉

That takes me back a few years!!! Nice to hear from you again. Did we perhaps meet again at Kirroughtree...?

you insulted and pushed a small child, a ill and dying grandmother, and upset her daughter and whole family,and told them how to live their lives youll most probably now be on cctv as an abuser of children and old people, will be shown on sky and bbc crime watch type programes, featured on facebook and twitter, and local press, youll be hounded out of your home by vigilantes, threatened with court action for compensation, sell your story to a tabloid, appear on Jeremey KYle, where youll both put your sides of the story, on the sofa at the early morning shows, then youll get to appear on celebrity big brother with the family,and Singletakie forumites will devour every word and disect every word.

was it wort selling some wheels........

was it worth selling some wheels........

Now that you've accurately predicted what will happen next... HELL YEAH!!! 😈

There's the problem, if they had been 29-er wheels the rant would have come alive.

I've ridden Kirroughtree but it would have been 2010 and the manic John was not present, still got some video of you in Spooky Wood somewhere!
Anyway you should try the Toxteth PO that is in B&M for the real pond life experience <shudders>

Poor, not a single mention of drop kick or roundhouse.

OP shoudv'e knocked kid over then said, 'soz, I'm a right clumsy t**t me but keep the brat on a lead yeah?'

(I hate kids anyway)

Sorry, just here. Would a cuddle help?

I have an ability to kill threads stone dead. This thread needs my help.

OP you need to calm down. There was an instance recently where I could have said something but kept quiet as a 6ft male confronting a female doesn't not look good or right to all in a street.
