If there is one thing that I hate, it’s the kind of person who expects me to be able to do something, just because they are able to do it. Time and time again I run into situations in which someone is rolling their eyes at me, or giving me dirty looks, just because I didn’t see the solution that was so obvious to them. If you can do a task in five minutes and it takes me ten, it might not be because I am an idiot. It might just be because you have done it more than I have, or your mind/body is better suited to that particular task. I am so tired of the condescension and annoyance handed down to me by people who think they are better than me based on their ability to do one stupid thing, or the fact that they thought to move something to a more convenient place before I did. Get off your high horse and try treating people with respect.
The other kind of person that I just can’t stand is the kind of person who is unable to perform even the most simple of tasks in a competent manner. Seriously, how complicated is the self checkout lane at the supermarket? It took me probably 3 seconds to master that technology, and I don’t have time to sit around and wait for you to join the 21st century. I have groceries to buy! And why on Earth would you put that thing over there, when it clearly makes no sense, and you would have saved us both several extra minutes of work if you had just put it over here? It doesn’t take a genius level intelligence to figure some of this stuff out. I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but good gravy people, use your brains! If I can do it, I don’t see any reason why you would not be able to do it. These are the basics of life! Let’s apply some critical thinking for Pete’s sake!
Oh, and hypocrites. I forgot about hypocrites. Okay, the THREE worst kinds of people. Sorry.
