Why do people suck so much?

So I was sitting at the airport earlier today trying to get a little bit of work done before boarding my plane. My MBP was on its last legs with about 30 minutes to go and I noticed someone plugging into an outlet on the other side of the gate. I wandered over and plugged in and started to crank out some e-mails and then I noticed my battery meter was on red. WTF?! It wasn’t charging so I switched plugs thinking the one on the bottom was dead. They were both dead and the douchebag sitting there didn’t bother to tell me. He watched me plug my rig in and didn’t say anything. Why do people suck so much ass? Wouldn’t you tell someone that the outlet wasn’t working? Or am I the only one that would?
While I agree that mean people suck, and (like Aliens invading Earth in any video game) they don’t seem to need a reason, I have one question:
Not to defend the mindless dolt, but are you sure that *he* knew he wasn’t getting any juice from the outlet?
Yes, most definitely. Now that I think about it, I saw him plug in and then unplug within a matter of seconds. It just didn’t register as to why until later.
Maybe that “douchebag” didn’t know the outlet was dead. How can you be sure that he was specifically being an asshole to you if you don’t know whether or not he knew that the outlet was dead?
someone needs a cranky pill
Maybe your charger is dead? Or maybe he was a mute, unable to speak. Yeah. That’s probably it.
Here is a little over-the-top psychoanalysis since we live in a world where no one trusts anyone: He may very well have thought you wouldn’t believe him, and didn’t want to deal with you thinking he may be a liar. He’d rather you be the validator versus ‘taking his word’.
That’s not mean a real mean person would have stolen your MBP.

Apparently someone didn’t let PHa have his ice cream today. Bitch much?
I agree. People usually do not care enough to warn someone about any potential problem they could have. So I always make a point of doing that, and I always receive a thank you. The point is that you shouldn’t feel bad about mean people, you feel good because you’re a nice person.
Best answer!!!
I think we’re all missing the deeper issue here… why the hello do outlets never work in airports?!?!?! I fly through Baltimore a lot and it’s the worst. They have all these nice little workstations and none of the damn outlets work.
But, to deal with the issue at hand — Maybe he thought you were some sort of cracked-out-on-starbucks should-be mental patient and he didn’t want to deal with you… Kind of seems like you’re validating his theory with this article :-)
You can dweebate this all day, but I wouldn’t say anything either and sit there just to watch for the entertainment value alone going “Oh, poor wittle nerd, you not can haz lectrizity 2day…”
Sorry dude. I would have told you, but I saw you were using a mac and said screw it, let the idiot find out for himself.
i have no idea, they just do. i totally agree with you on this one. and all the people on here giving you shit?…….they’re some of the ones that suck too.
awesome, you are absolutely right!!!
Hey dude! I see where you are coming from, people can be pretty mean at times. Maybe it just didn’t register to that person to tell you the power wasn’t working. Not taking his side but there are so many misunderstandings in the world of people so its just hard to figure people out sometimes.
