"I was lining up for food at a kiosk in a tourist area. The guy in front of me turned out to be a bus tour guide and tried to budge his entire bus of people in front of me by ordering for them, then having them pay separately. I lost my shit when I realized what was happening, and he backed off (and had everyone line up properly) when I asked him where he worked."

13."I know a guy who will call and leave a voicemail message that just says 'Call me back, I need to talk to you about something.' He won't text, and he won't respond to texts asking what the topic is. It's infuriating. He also pretty much only calls at dinner time."

"Once, he called and left a voicemail that said, as usual, 'Call me back, I need to talk to you about something.' I called him back, and he said we needed to get together so he could tell me in person. I saw red that day."

—u/ComfortableTemp
