more than the cell phone thing, i cant stand the mother ers out in public who have staring problems
Ahh ok...I can understand that. Weed can be psychologically addicting, but almost always because you are using it entirely as a means of coping with something. I used to use it heavily but then got off of it for a long time(and started occassional reuse after that ing experience with Paxil) and now I can take it or leave it. Go months and even years at a time without it. It's definitely not something that should be used every day, and I don't think any mind altering substance should. Unless you want to alter your mind permanently.
But you have to know your limitations and it's sounds like it's something that can be difficult to manage. I still strongly disuade you from the anti-depressants, even if means being an asshole with a short fuse.

I see where you are coming from on the SSRIs, since you had a bad experience with them. I had a previous positive experience with both talk therapy and Prozac and want to go with what has worked in the past. Your brain chemistry is most likely different from mine, and so what works for me could very well be downright harmful to you.Ahh ok...

Yeah everyone is different...I definitely don't think most people react to Paxil like I did, and it's scary as if they do and they are still giving that out to people. But I just don't like that detatched feeling I seem to get on anti-depressants. It definitely feels like the wrong path to me. I literally just can't take them. I just look at the way Indians used pot and try to respect it like they did.
Anyway, good luck. Hope you get something out this conversation you can use.
You weren't that big of a either though. I mean yeah it probably wasn't the best way to handle the situation to reduce the amount of conflict in your life, but the phone guy was being rude too. If this is the worst it gets then I don't think you need any major help or anything. Just my opinion.
here's some advice... buy your damn magazines and move on! barnes & nobles makes nothing off of moochers like you who go in there thinking they're at some damn library and can just sit in there all day "previewing" their merchandise. stop being cheap and buy the already and go home and read it in peace.
it bugs me more that you think you should be able to talk to someone merely because they are on the phone while you expect complete silence in a damn store, not a library.
that person had no manners,
you get alot of these wankers in libraries, on public transport, restaurants etc...i dunno wtf do they have to talk to loud for....
ppl say they wanna show off, but whats there to show off? its just a lack of manners in public...
i agree with koriwhat. It's a store, not a library. I frequent Barnes and Noble and often, I talk on my cellphone while perusing. Someone who's not even buying anything has zero right to talk . Just because there's some chairs to look your material over in doesn't mean that area requires silence, or even muffled voicing.
Two people chatting face-to-face make a lot less noise than one cellphone asshole blabbing loud enough to address an audience within 50 feet.
If, at this stage of cellphone ubiquity, a cellphone user doesn't have consideration, he's an asshole, no matter if or how you handle assholes.
Larry David did exactly what the cellphone asshole was doing, but the cellphone asshole was pissed off and repulsed.
If it expected the same, then the bookstore would put up a sign that says no cell phones, just like all libraries do.
I found the biggest irony that the OP was reading magazines, not even some serious reading.
Both sides are correct to an extent...it's not a library...it doesn't require COMPLETE silence...on the other hand...you shouldn't really be having a full on conversation right in the middle of the damn store like you're at home...bad manners...
I'm picturing some reading a bunch of magazines and storming out of the store in near tears after verbally bashing a mexican guy on his cell phone...............the image is hilarious to me.
I would have LOL'd had I seen this in person.
We live in an explicit society, a 'low context' society. You need to express yourself if you want results. I don't think you should have blown up. You certainly should have at least said something to the guy next to you. Glares and looks don't mean much. You have to communicate. If they still don't listen, a little cussing rampage never hurts, but you should at least make an attempt at civil communication. Some people just don't realize their obnoxiousness.
Were these magazines that you bought? Or did you just go to B&N to read magazines that are for sale for free? That's just as annoying as someone having a loud conversation on their cell phone
So the club has immature assholes that leave girls at theaters and cell phone hating magazine readers?
B&N and all the other chain bookstores have no problem with people coming in there and reading for free. They encourage it on the premise that you will make an impulse purchase.
lol... anger management issues
If only Findog had more time.................
This is completely true, people who act like they've never seen this before have never been to a bookstore or are completely re ed.
Btw it's ironic one of the most mellow ST posters tells this story about anger management issues.
. With me it all depends on my mood. If I'm in a bad mood, I might say something..otherwise I'll glare, or I'll just walk away.
So, if you're reading and your bladder gets full, you should just wet your chair? There's no sign telling you to use the restroom...
haha, yeah, i'm waiting for the day you or someone tells me to STFU when I'm shopping around for overpriced books or resting afterward or need a break because of a call you don't even understand. GFY. What I can't believe is that you people frequent Barnes and Noble and somehow equate it to a in library. B&N is usually packed with people talking on their cellphones or just talking with their friends/acquaintances in general.
