40. Seat Snatcher Showdown

Went to a movie theater with assigned seating.

Go to my chair, and there’s a stranger sitting on my chair.

I doubled check my ticket, and then very politely mention to the person that the theater has assigned seating and showed them my ticket.

The person got mad and refused to give up my seat until I could direct them to their own seat.

“WELL, WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?”

“…. what’s printed on your ticket?”

“3418”

“Okay, well, that seat is right over there…”

They were mad at me for wanting to sit in my own seat, and they expected me to take the time to help them before they’d move.

41. A Space-less Affair

My ex got mad at me because I would text her ILoveYou like that instead of putting spaces because she thought I was being repetitive and lazy and thought that because I was saying it that way all the time meant that I was over it for some reason. When really it just became MY way of texting her ILoveYou. I said it to her in person every day too but for some reason, she got mad at me because of it. Girls are confusing!

42. Jumping to Conclusions

I was riding my bike around the block when this mom came out of her house with her tiny son yelling at me for bullying her son. I had never seen her son before and I certainly never bullied him but I guess I looked like someone who did and the son argued that it definitely was me. I felt really bad. I said I didn’t do it but they didn’t believe me. I felt bad cause I’d probably do the same if I was a mom.

43. Family Judgment

One of my grandparents passed away a few years ago. I was dating my now boyfriend already when this happened, we had been together for a year and my parents knew him ever since I met him (about a year and a half before we started dating). So he wasn’t a stranger or anything to my family.

On the day of my grandfather’s burial, I was obviously really sad and crying. My boyfriend was consoling me and I was hugging him for comfort. We were literally just hugging.

A few hours pass, and it turns out my father was mad. My mother told me I was being inappropriate in front of everyone and that my dad was angry. Verbatim, she told me that if I did those inappropriate things in public, God knows what I did in private.

No, I wasn’t even underage in this scenario.

44. The Bracelet Mystery

An ex gave me a bracelet that was supposed to have a lot of sentimental meaning. We had gone out for a month. So when I got it, I was like, oh thanks, pretty, and he didn’t explain the meaning behind it. Fast forward a couple of years and he is now going out with a friend of mine and he gives her the same bracelet, explains the meaning of it….and explains how he had given it to me a long time ago. A friend now gets mad at ME for receiving the bracelet x amount of years ago.

The bracelet was a sign of intended marriage.

45. Dreams vs. Reality

A girl in high school had a dream where I wouldn’t talk to her so for two weeks she wouldn’t talk to me. Finally, she confessed why she was pissed at me and I told her “you know that wasn’t me right?” and she said, “I know but it really upset me!”

Conversely, another girl (same high school) had a dream that I did something heroic for her so she was pretty smitten. Again I said “you know that wasn’t me right?” and she said, “I know but I’m sure you would do it in real life”.

46. Colors Matter More

I once grabbed a box of tissue from the upstairs closet and took it to my room downstairs. My mom flipped on me when she found out because I “took the wrong colour box”. That’s right. She freaked out because I took a blue box of tissue, which I should have somehow known are only to be used in the living room upstairs.

Note that there was no difference in the type of tissue. Simply a large multi-pack that had different colour boxes.

Still bothers me that she seems to seek excuses to get upset about stupid sh*t because she has no legitimate things to be upset about. Like why can’t you just be happy?

47. Helping a Broke Friend Backfired

Two summers ago I invited a friend of mine to come with me to my small apartment in a seaside city because I knew he was broke and needed some holidays.

I told him not to worry, that he could buy some food or take some from home and I would take care of anything else: I was taking my car, with two bikes, paying for the fuel, and the apartment is mine, so no need to pay for that if I want you as my guest. I really wanted to spend some time there myself, so I thought, “what the hell, the more the merrier!”

He raged at me saying that I was being disrespectful because he told me he did not have the money, so my offering made him feel bad and useless, making me a sucky friend (to use his words).

In the end, I nearly lost a friend by inviting him on a “free” holiday (meaning u don t need to pay for anything else but eating or having a beer).

48. Mom Doesn’t Believe it’s Saturday

In high school, I lived in the hood but commuted about an hour on the subway to a school in a much nicer area. Sometimes I’d spend the night at friends’ houses on weekends to stay nearby.

I had a Nokia Cell phone, the infamous brick. It rings.

Me: Hey Mom

Mom: Hey! I was just calling to leave you a message. Why aren’t you in school?

Me: There’s no school today.

Mom: WHY AREN’T YOU IN SCHOOL? she’s getting more agitated

Me: Because it’s Saturday?

Mom: DON’T YOU PLAY GAMES WITH ME, YOU’RE GROUNDED. GO TO SCHOOL AND COME HOME RIGHT AFTER.

I was 16 and decided not to go the hour home to be grounded. Instead, I stayed out with my friends for the rest of the weekend. I got grounded for two weeks for not honoring my original grounding, even though it was in fact, a Saturday.

49. My Hair, My Rules

My ex-boyfriend (who wasn’t my ex at the time) gave me the silent treatment for 3 days because I got my hair cut without telling him beforehand that I was going to do it.

One of MANY reasons he’s my ex.

50. Ex Throws Tantrum

My Ex-boyfriend got mad at me for exercising. Seriously. He hadn’t exercised that day, and when I told him I had (after he had asked what I had been up to), he began to feel guilty for not having exercised and took his guilt out on me. He accused me of gloating and not being sensitive to his feelings (I didn’t know he hadn’t exercised or that it would be such a freak out for him), and he withheld affection/attention for several days after the screaming tantrum he had.
