I'm not sure what type of asshole I am but I can assure you I'm an asshole, a real prick.
Here's the deal, if I'm waiting on a platform somewhere waiting for a train or a bus, I might get hungry. I might get some food, I don't care where I am when I'm hungry I'm gonna eat. If that means I'm sitting beside you in a train, so be it. I'm gonna eat. The last thing I'm concerned with is, am I offending anybody?
I could give a flying fuck about who is around or where I am. I'm hungry I'm gonna eat.
Oh and one last thing. What happens if I'm eating my hot food waiting for the train and the train gets there before I'm done my food? Do I throw it out? Or do I take my food on the train, sit down and eat?
Lets face it, if you're more concerned with other people eating on a train, maybe ask everybody not to eat while you're on the train and see if you get a positive response.
Food tastes a lot better the hungrier you are. There's nothing wrong with putting it off for an hour or so.
Alternatively, there's food, and then there's hot smelly food. This is why snacks were invented, like chocolate bars and crisps (potato chips), and/or apples. An apple doesn't smell.
Anyway, as Thirty Bills said, this is a lighthearted thread - albeit one for old grumpy bastards with low levels of tolerance. :P
One time about a year ago I got into a lift here and some asshole was smoking on a cigarette inside. I was in a bad mood that day. I snatched the fag out of his hands and chucked it outside the doors. I then looked at him to see if he had a problem with what I'd done, and he did nothing. This asshole must have known he was being an asshole. A knowing asshole will seldom try and defend his asshole behaviour, especially in the presence of a 6ft, 4" Byrnzie in a bad mood.
:shock: That is a bold move. He may have done nothing out of shock.

It takes guts and belief in yourself (confidence).

It's obvious assholes don't know they are.
It's like personal responsibility, we can see that lacking in others
but can't see it in the mirror.
The point with the taped bound and gaged passenger I posted is that no one knew
what hidden trauma he could have had. He may have died from that
treatment. There should be more humane forms of restraint on planes.
Preparing for this would control the situation.
In this case he was drunk but sometimes people assume someone is drinking
or on drugs when they have a stroke or thyroid incident or mental break.
People respond to assholes and judge them without at least trying
some understanding,
add a vigilantie type crowd and that is trouble.

I'm sorry but if you're an asshole and don't know it, well then, you're an asshole..... :fp:

And many other people on that plane may have died because of this drunken selfish asshole.
Fuck him. And if his being restrained had killed him then he'd only have himself to blame. Though I understand that in your World every single selfish, irresponsible asshole, including some prick who's just massacred 20 children with a semi-automatic weapon, should be wrapped in cotton candy, fed his favourite flavour of ice-cream, and given a bed-time story, before being tucked in for a night of sweet dreams.
Unfortunately, most people have to contend with the real World.
There are assholes from every category that I want to smack when they throw their cigarettes out the window of their car as they are driving once they are finished with them.
Our area experienced a massive fire a few years abck that did extensive damage. Some asshole finished puffing away and, not wanting the disgusting butt in the ashtray which was designed to store it... tossed it out his window and lit a masive wild fire. Moron. An inconsiderate, rude, asshole.
I would promote following the asshole and waiting for them to stop. Then... simply walk up to the car, deliver a slap to the face from right to left... and insert the butt into the asshole's left nostril. When the asshole sits there... kind of stunned... tell him why you have done what you have done. As they register what you say... give them some helpful ideas for the uses of their butts: such as saving them and using them for earplugs at concerts! This way... the interaction can end on a positive note.
The other asshole I cannot stand is the prick who walks his stinky mutt and allows it to shit anywhere it pleases without picking it up. These assholes, regardless of category, need the following response to curb their assholeishness:

Approach: This type of asshole might best be ignored.
Category 3 Asshole 'The Pompous Asshole'
Approach: Abstain from the presence of such an extreme asshole. These assholes generally need to be punched out and often, many people that fall outside the asshole taxonomy will assume this task: only to face legal implications. The Category 3 Asshole is incapable of understanding the fact that they deserved to be punched out and will use the law for their personal gain.
I live with a Category 1, and work with a Category 3. No wonder I'm miserable

If I'm in the right kind of mood (and depending on the offender - too many incidents of road rage here), I'll pull up next to the litterer and give them a dirty look, maybe say something too - I know, badass :P . We've had some fires throughout Laurel Canyon (narrow, curvy area of LA ripe for blazes) caused by idiots like these.
Also, I'm surprised no one's posted Denis Leary's Asshole video - good shit! I would, but we've got some other music going here at the moment.

Why would I ever let an asshole ruin my good mood? Why would anyone?
When someone brings hot smelly food onto a bus or train, it stinks the place out and makes my face greasy. They may as well just take the wrapper off of their food and smear it all over my face.

You need to lighten up Monty!
Possibly.
Anyway, on a similar note, I was on the tube once in London on my way home from work. It was Summer and it was hot. The train was crowded and was stuck going nowhere - The Circle Line. Someone on the train farted, and it stank like a skunk with a penchant for curries.
I distinctly remember thinking/realizing that I was in hell.
It was not long after that I quit my job and vowed never to commute to work again.
Anyway, I'm not quite sure what my point is here, other than to point out that some people simply have no class, and no consideration for others. I think it's fair to say that such people qualify as assholes.

You shouldn't allow a good fart to cost you your job and choose to walk, that sucks. I won't walk anywhere let alone by choice, and farting is fun.
Ok, what happens when I have to fart while I'm eating my greasy smelly food on the train? What if I fart after? My farts usually stink.
My point is, Monty, and I'm not being rude to you personally. I will eat and fart wherever the fuck I please, if the people surrounding me don't enjoy my eating and farting then I don't know what to say. I guess I would say, sorry I'm hungry, then I'd Blame the person beside me for farting, hopefully that person is a chick because its always funny when a chick farts in public, especially if she's hot and the fart stinks haha.

I hear ya.
But regarding the life-changing fart in question, It was the straw that broke the camels back. Try commuting to and from a job in London that you hate for 3 years, with all the daily annoyances that entails, and then being subjected to the fart from Hell on a hot, crowded train.

When I see people judging others for eating their lunch in a shared public space
I think it's time for that person to have some real trouble in their life and be humbled.
So much so about themselves, it's rather appalling and is exactly what they
themselves complain about.
Perhaps being bed ridden for 3 months might change one's perspective
of how others should behave around them.
Get over it. It's not all about you.
Real assholes threaten other's lives, they insult, abuse, bully. They are not defined
by eating on a train in my opinion

when i first read your thread title it seemed like an annoucement to all of us or something.... like you were saying

responding to an asshole in kind indicates he/she has already taken control

I hope you were able to bounce back. For real
Thanks. I bounced all the way to China.
