35 Examples Of Inconsiderate People Acting Like Jerks In Public

When we head out in public, we mentally brace ourselves for the onslaught of personalities we’re about to encounter. If we aren’t careful, someone else’s inconsiderate behaviour can spill over and ruin our day too. Whether it’s a road hog, someone who blares calls on speaker, or a person who doesn’t understand how to act in shared spaces, it’s easy to spot those who seem to expect special treatment.

#7 That Is A Huge Bluetooth Speaker On His Back. Yes, There Is Music Coming Out Of It

When I asked him wouldn’t using earbuds be easier, he said I should just my own if what he’s playing bothers me. Way to miss the point, bud.

#10 Someone Stole My Brother’s And Sister’s Headstones For The Copper

I used to visit weekly and keep up their gravesite, but 30 years and compartmentalizing heals the need to revisit the pain, until some jerk chose stealing copper over being a decent human.

#11 Someone Threw Books From The Little Library Into The Water

Someone emptied the little library and threw the books into the water. I built it a couple years ago and it was installed next to a local resevoir. Someone posted on FB yesterday about this and I went down today to get them out of the water. Mildy infuriated may be understating my feelings.

#14 Missed Connecting Flight Because Entitled People Thought “All Bags Must Be Checked” Didn’t Apply To Them

I was on a flight, and we were already delayed because the inbound flight had mechanical issues. The gate attendants announced multiple times that “all carry-ons like duffel bags and rolling luggage must be gate checked.” Everyone was allowed one carry-on.
I watched as multiple people pushed by the flight attendant and say “no, it’s not a checked bag” while getting on our (tiny) airplane (note multiple had the little red tag clearly dangling off their bag.

Well, behold, after the jetway was pulled back, the flight attendants carried 5 bags up to the front during a final safety check.
So, then we have to wait for them to bring the jetway back to the plane so they can take the five large bags and stow them under the plane. Our already 30-minute delayed flight was delayed another 30 minutes. There were multiple people who missed connecting flights, including myself. Some people literally don’t believe any rules apply to them.

Also, just as a side note, everyone should be nicer and more respectful to flight crews and gate agents.

People tried to talk to her, but then she even started chanting. „Everyone should listen to this! Jesus is the only true god! He is our saviour!“ and so on…
Religious people like this are ridiculous…

#22 A Lady Popped The Lock On The Public Restroom I Was Using, And Entered

Image source: tocahontas77

I was at a popular grocery store, in the family bathroom. Someone knocked on the door, and I said, “just a minute”. They kept knocking, but it sounded like a child was doing it. So I ignored it and went on with my business.

As I was washing my hands, I heard the lock pop, and a lady opened the door. I said, “you can’t do that”. She shut the door. I finished up and walked out. I told her, “you know you can’t just unlock a restroom door when someone’s in there, right?” She said nothing, and took her child into the restroom.

She was too ashamed to respond to my call out, but not too ashamed to unlock a restroom door and walk in, even though it was occupied. The sense of entitlement and violation of my privacy had me heated.

#25 Guy And His Wife Watched Football Through An Entire Orchestra Concert

Image source: ten10thsdriver

My wife and I went to an orchestra concert tonight for our anniversary. Bought rather expensive tickets. The guy in front of us watched a football game with earbuds in during the entire concert. He kept gesturing and physically reacting to various plays and whispering to his wife. This photo was taken during intermission. About 15 minutes after the performance resumed, I tapped the back of his seat with my hand. He turns around and asks, “Was that for me?” I reply, “Yes, you’re being rude.” To which he replies, “You better chill.” Rather than taking a subtle hint, he showed his true colors as being a jerk.

#26 Alright I’m Done Being Nice

My nightmare neighbors — the ones who constantly park in front of my driveway, take up all the street parking in front of my house, use trash cans to save their parking spots, and even threatened to catch my cat (and do who knows what to it) because they claim they found excrement in their yard. They couldn’t even describe the cat, and there are at least five different cats roaming the neighborhood.

This past weekend, they took things to a new level and installed these obnoxiously bright floodlights — one in the front yard and another in the back — with the back one aimed directly into my yard. I’ve owned this home for about 9 months now; they’ve been renting here for over 15 years and act like they own the block.

I’ve officially had it with their inconsiderate, passive-aggressive nonsense. So, I’m here for suggestions. Hit me with your pettiest, most vile (but legal) ideas to make them realize I’m not the one to mess with. Here’s a pic of the lights for reference.

#28 Some Jerk Abandoned This Poor Tiny Baby In Our Stuffed Animal Bin At My Workplace Last Night

We watched the security cameras and he was only in the bin for a couple minutes before we found him. The lady who did it was still in the store (but we didn’t know she’d done it at that point) and she said how cute he is and offered her fiancé’s phone number because he’s a vet? So bizarre.

#29 Vandalism Overnight At A Local Park

Image source: reddit.com

Someone decided to pour over 10 gallons of used motor oil on the ground and equipment at a local park. It happened overnight with no immediate witnesses, security cameras were down due to earlier vandalism at the restroom building. The park was just completed/updated last summer, and now it’s closed indefinitely while they take ground samples. The city has already stated they may need to dig up all the mulch and rubber beds due to contamination. It’s terrible we can’t have nice things.

For clarification, there are no reservations at this park. I am also here with 10 kids doing a party, and we got here when the park opened to make sure we had space for all our guests. Silly me.

#33 Guy Vaping On The Plane Next To Me

After manspreading and eating a TUNA sandwich on the plane, bro whips out his vape. I normally mind my own business, but he had been rude to me the whole flight, so I told the flight attendant, which made him angry, so he started going off on me. The flight attendant had to intervene again.
