Pfffffhahahaha, morons. Don't they realize that any hand, or even anything, can become a lethal weapon? I am not doing any exercise, I do not take boxing or any kind of self defense. But get me mad enough, you can be sure that my hands and arms will have the strength necessary to rip someone's skin apart or strangle them to, at least, unconsciousness. And teeth are pretty good, too.

No, no, you missed a part of my post. I specifically stated that it's a Japanese cultural thing. We in the west, think that telling authority figures of bullying will be dealt with by them, because they are authority and all that. In Japan, as I said, bullying or similar is your personal problem. You don't tell them, because - technically - it's none of their business. And you gotta learn to deal with it yourself.
Or even look at getting groped on a train. Yes, there are signs at stations, warning women of being groped - but they aren't supposed to raise a fuss about it. One way they can prevent groping is having women-only cars, which they do, but it's still seen as a way to protect men.
I'm sure there are bitches out there who say someone groped them, when they didn't and blackmail them.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to everything you wrote because this kind of stuff makes my blood boil fast.
And even if this is part of Japanese culture and tradition... I still think it's wrong to overlook serious cases of bullying. I mean, I don't know anything about Japanese law, but you can't just shut up and watch when someone is being constantly harassed or verbally abused, right? I understand if they don't want to get involved when someone is being "excluded" from a group or discreetly badmouthed though.
And I'm sorry for everything you went through during your school years. Despite everything, experiencing such things usually makes someone an emotionally strong person.

Ah... the memories of my eight grade class are pouring back in.
Good times... good times.
Seriously, though, I remember being bullied simply for not being a typical "social" person that these Americans seem to value. Although it was only one kid, so I could tell he was just doing it for his ego.

I remember this one time in eighth grade where I got pantsed in PE. The assholes pulled my gym shorts and boxers. I turned red, and they told me that I shouldn't have had my boxers so close to my shorts.
Honestly, it didn't bother me that much.
Maybe it's cause the reactions of my classmates weren't that of laughter, but of "Why would you guys do that?"

I think that's exactly what they meant. Sagging your pants is probably the dumbest thing you could possibly do with your clothes.

And if I want to know what type of underwear someone is wearing, I either ask or snap their hems like a prostitute's bra.
You know what really grinds my gears? All these stupid attempts at making sympathetic villains!
Come on, why should we care why a villain is doing evil things? Can't he just do bad things for the hell of it? And even if, through all the entire story, he has done terrible things and has only made us hate him - why suddenly give him the sympathetic backstory that is supposed to make us feel all sad for him and sympathetic and make us think, "Oh if only we had listened earlier!"
Like Ganondorf in Wind Waker. Where the fuck did that backstory come from? Do you really think your desire to just give your people a nicer place to live in will excuse the attempt to throw Hyrule upside down? I hope not, because it shouldn't. After all, a sympathetic backstory does not excuse anything or make you sympathetic.
Or as Linkara pointed out in Power Rangers Time Force: that Rasbek guy, I think that was his name, was a mutant and, while he had a sympathetic backstory, he was not sympathetic. He did nothing that actually showed his actions were to improve things for mutants, he just wanted to fuck with humans cause they're dicks. Even contradicting himself, saying that all humans are bad, when it was actually a human who was pretty kind to him. And he dicked that human over.
Or even worse, making the villain absolutely despicable and then giving us hints what their terrible punishment will be, that all their bad actions has caused, or will cause, all of their friends and family, rendering them all alone.
Guys! Stop trying to make sympathetic villains! Let me hate them! Don't try to make me care for them if they have been, metamophorically or literally, spitting in my face every chance they got! It's not gonna work! If I see a villain ending up alone because of their dick behavior, my sole reaction will, "Serves ya right" and not "Awww you poor thing"

Also, I think too many places only consider physical bullying as a problem. Mental abuse can be just as damaging, and I wish that more schools would recognize that.

My sister was bullied by her boss's wife at work, and it was 'just' verbal abuse as well. In many cases mental abuse has been far more damaging than physical, and when such a person is in a higher position than oneself, it's a bit harder to fight back.
In this case, though, the entire staff had to threaten to quit before the boss did something about it and kicked his wife out.

Well, it's already a huge problem - and usually frowned upon - if somebody's spouse is working in the same firm/office as the other... Then again, if my boss' wife bullied me and I was not gonna take any shit from her, I'd probably do as Doug Walker did, when he quit his job.

Haha. My sister was considering the prospect of quitting, since even the server who was an old friend of the boss was considering quitting as well, but before that the boss decided to save his establishment and remove the problem.

I think this thread is about something that just pisses you off, regardless of it actually being somehow connected to your actions, environment or anything. And the vent thread is more about something that happened to you, to just vent before you get on with things.

I agree it was kind of rude of them, but it's definitely better to let something like that go.
I open doors often for other folks. Half the time I get acknowledged, half the time I don't. Not a big deal.
And depending on the age of the girls, maybe they weren't taught any better, or were told not to talk to strangers. Or any number of reasons.

A tiny issue, but one to keep this section in a lighter mood (hopefully), you know what grinds my gears? Every single restaurant in the local area having a "KIDZ Menu". Why do they always have to spell it with a 'Z' and not an 'S' ? It doesn't make it cutesy or anything, it's just done because other restaurants do it, and they think it's more appealing to children. I'm not sure where that thought ever came from?

In these parts, the middle schoolers are the obnoxious and rude kids. High schoolers, despite that one or two people, here are generally cool and respectful to others.

I got on better with my teachers as well. At least, the nice ones. I think I was honestly one of very few students who actually treated the teachers with any respect, it was that kind of school.

Oh my God, that is so annoying! Especially in a full underground train, some jackass is standing in the middle and people have to push or walk around him to get out of the doors because he's too lazy or stupid or too jerky to realize he can make things much easier by getting out, standing NEXT to the door with everyone else who wants to get in afterwards and re-enter, after letting the people out.
In such a case, I like to just accidently-on-purpose shove them.
On a similar note, people who stand practically in the doorway of the bus or train you wanna get out of. Now if it's a small-er-ish kid, I can sort of see that maybe mom or dad hasn't taught them to stand the fuck aside, but if it's anybody aged 12+, I will very nicely elbow ram them when they are in my way when I get out. Accidently-on-purpose, of course.
I cannot help it when they are in my way after all~

On a similar note, people who stand practically in the doorway of the bus or train you wanna get out of. Now if it's a small-er-ish kid, I can sort of see that maybe mom or dad hasn't taught them to stand the fuck aside, but if it's anybody aged 12+, I will very nicely elbow ram them when they are in my way when I get out. Accidently-on-purpose, of course.
I cannot help it when they are in my way after all~

I hate it when there are a few people walking in front of me that are walking sooooo sloooooowly. They just block the entire hallway when I have places to get to quickly.

I'll see your slow person in front of you and raise you people who stop to chat with each other in the middle of a busy hallway. It was an annoyingly common occurrence for me at college; some small group of people would block a hallway by chatting outside a classroom. I don't recall ever being late for class as a direct result of such a thing, but it was still really annoying. I suppose I should be thankful it's purely a pedestrian thing in my experience, though. Can you imagine how much more road-rage-induced violence there would be if drivers often stopped in the middle of a road to chat with each other?
Don't they already? They have wonderful conversations about wanting to shove something up the other guy's orifice while being implied that their mother works as a harlott.
Yeah.... I more dislike people who go through a doorway or off an escalator or so and then stand barely a step away from where they got off, looking around for something. Now I have nothing against tourists or people who think they may be lost, I can get lost, too, at times.
But at least step a few steps away from where people are gonna get off, so we don't all knock into you. That's what I do. I walk a few steps, look around to see if I got the right street or see anything familiar and then go back down if it's not where I'm supposed to.
