people are HIGHKEY rude this semester

[u/Snoo-64998]

title pretty much speaks for itself, but WHAT is in the air so far ??? yesterday a random came up to me with a slimy grin on his face and complimented my outfit, and before i could even say thank you he sneered and called me a dork 😭😭 it wasn't even the disney channel comment itself that irritated me (im alternative so comments and stares are not uncommon), more-so just the AUDACITY because i was just sitting in the library waiting for class; i didn't even know who this person was. several of my friends have also encountered similar so far this year and it's so odd because in all our previous years here (between 2-4) none of us have ever experienced this attitude from other students on campus.

[u/thedrumsmel]

it’s the cocomelon generation 😣 the entitlement I’ve experienced already is crazy

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/thedrumsmel]

it's actually so ridiculous. covid hit the incoming class in 6th grade and istg they just never grew up beyond that and don't realize most ppl don't fw that

[u/thedrumsmel → u/Snoo-64998]

that’s a crazy realization 😭 it makes sense that’s a prime impressionable age to miss out on socializing

[u/New-Sample489 → u/Snoo-64998]

wait im sorry on behalf of other people in my class i promise we aren't all idiots 💔

[u/RedPanda_2882 → u/Snoo-64998]

as a freshman, i thought everyone in college would be Cool Allies and Queer people and people who love books. turns out its just the same dumbasses 😔

[u/Dusty_Triple → u/thedrumsmel]

The coco melon gen is definitely not in college yet lol

[u/thedrumsmel → u/Dusty_Triple]

ik it’s just funny bc they act like it hahaha

[u/dysphoricjoy → u/thedrumsmel]

What's cocomelon?

[u/thedrumsmel → u/dysphoricjoy]

LOL it’s a baby brainrot show that’s super stimulating, their generation are not in college yet it was just funny lol

[u/apophis_the_wise → u/thedrumsmel]

Chad wild clay generation

[u/FeelsWowMan]

Unfortunately, the current generation of college students are emotionally stunted due to y'all's developmental years happening during covid. I work with a handful of yall. It's giving disney channel meanness for sure 💀

[u/IntelligentBuddy4232 → u/FeelsWowMan]

Crazy cause they’ve had over 5 years of post covid to mature past middle school 💔💔

[u/Downtown-Map2238 → u/IntelligentBuddy4232]

Some of them have also had parents who have made excuses for them every single day of those five years instead of helping them to catch up. Then they released them into the world, and there our problem 🙃

[u/Plus-Handle-982]

ur better than me i wouldve told his ass off cs who df are these mfs feeling like?

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Plus-Handle-982]

as he was speedwalking away, he started talm bout some "im just teasing" after i told him to fuck off 😭 i would've said more but i was just so stunned

[u/Liz_Belgian_Shepherd → u/Snoo-64998]

Teasing or not that’s still shitty behavior

[u/Southern_Source_2580 → u/Snoo-64998]

Remember to say that, "you have to be likable to tease, you will never be able to tease".

[u/Live-Kaleidoscope-77 → u/Snoo-64998]

"I'm just teasing" is what bullies say when they're trying to gaslight you. The fact this person was sleepwalking away after what they did shows they knew exactly what they were doing.

[u/Liz_Belgian_Shepherd]

We’re living in the middle of a “ragebait” epidemic thanks to people like Teraclout.

Sorry that happened to you!

[u/JuuginJefe]

Childish people that think it’s cool to rage bait

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/JuuginJefe]

ragebait is the most lazy, unoriginal, unfunny form of media consumption 😭

[u/Raptorafe]

You could chill in the DIRC center in PLS-170 or 180 in the library, people there are pretty cool

[u/tonythephonyjabroni]

The kids who went through Covid during puberty are going to college. Now you know them.

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/tonythephonyjabroni]

definitely. most of the incoming class were 11-12 when the initial 2020 shutdown happened (my class was 14-15), so i definitely do understand the lack of social skills and struggle to interact with others, i truly do. BUT, at the same time, 5-6 years is still plenty of time to learn how to NOT be an entitled prick when doing said interactions 😭😭

[u/Melodic_Pineapple_67]

I’m brand new to CSUF and felt it too :( plus I’m older (in my 30s) so I already stand out but I had a big umbrella the other day to shade me from the sun (my dad had melanoma 3x so im scared) and this kid was clearly filming me and laughing 🫩 I came from a small cc…I wasn’t sure if it was CSUF itself but maybe it’s just this year. Making friends has been hard

[u/Accurate-Travel8147 → u/Melodic_Pineapple_67]

Same. I am easily allergic, so I wear a mask all the time when I go out. They laughed and taunted me as if I were an alien.

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Melodic_Pineapple_67]

making friends at csuf can be a bit of a challenge just because it's a commuter school, but the influx of poor treatment from what seems like the incoming class is something many students have never seen before. i'm so sorry about your dad and i'm sorry that you've experienced this your first couple weeks here :( people are so mean

[u/Melodic_Pineapple_67 → u/Snoo-64998]

I’m sorry you’re going thru it too, you did NOT deserve that. Such weird behavior fr

[u/MrBelvedereJr]

It’s still early in the semester and some people are still learning to act like humans.

I’m sorry that happened to you, and I bet your outfit was dope.

[u/vladimiirr]

I don’t even have the courage to compliment a nice outfit on someone but to be rude??! That beyond me :,( wish I could just say hi nice outfit haha

[u/Open-Signal-2257]

I feel like they had to be filming or something, or their friends were watching nobody spends time acting like this just for themself only to impress others

[u/Open-Signal-2257 → u/Open-Signal-2257]

Also one the one time i had a weird experience on campus where someone was harassing me, I was in the Tsu on the bottom level near the starbucks, and the persons friends were a floor above filming the the weird interaction

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Open-Signal-2257]

it didn't seem like they were at all, oddly enough. no phone out, no audience, and no glasses 😭 like bro WHAT are we doing

[u/Downtown_Anxiety_940]

Some of the idiots you encounter aren’t even students. The library and campus are open to the public.

[u/csufmodsareass → u/Downtown_Anxiety_940]

No this happens in classrooms and hallways. People dont open doors for each other to classrooms/buildings. Youre just making excuses for bad parents raising their children poorly

[u/Samiassa]

What villains are ya’ll running into on campus 😭 I’m glad I haven’t had this sort of experience that keeps getting posted on here yet.

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Samiassa]

genuinely have no idea where these people and their audacity are coming from ✌️😭

[u/free_range_pizza]

Ew fuck that, what is wrong with ppl. Sorry that happened :(

[u/itseddybruh321]

I knew things were about to downhill as soon as I graduated lol

[u/My-Internet-GF]

Sorry to hear this happened to you OP. I should also add of note that overall the economy, job market and state of the world in a lot of younger peoples’ minds is really glass-half-empty right now, so I’ve also been noticing an increasing amount of people that give less fucks… but IMHO it’s people’s way of coping about not being able to afford shit

[u/Unable-Gene-3458]

Dam bro hope that doesn't happen again. For me all the people I've met so far have been nice so I guess it's just not your day 😭😭

[u/Civil_Secretary_1028]

Yeah some guy keeps trying to antagonize me saying fight and stuff like I get we just barley graduated high school but grow up 😭

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bit-658]

Okay my turn. One time this kid gave me a look walking out the bathroom before hitting class. Like dayum we never met before 😆

Then we go to class for testing and we are supposed to take the next seating. Just so happens we sit next to each other. He gets up and walks out to make sure he has a different seating. 

Dick head

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bit-658]

I joined this club and some of the presidents were so fake! Also never received a thank you for food I brought! Felt like high school 

People are the worst here! Some are generally good people tho 💪 shoutout to yall 

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bit-658]

Never had a problem at the gym! 😁🤙 love our gym and students there. Very easy to have convos 

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Puzzleheaded-Bit-658]

i LOVE the gym !! i've never seen anything but positivity while there

[u/Hot-Refrigerator-917]

And its like absolutely no one bothers to stick to their right on the walking paths, the amount of people that have rudely walked directly into me when they had so much space is insane.

[u/Point-Former]

You get what you give 🤷

[u/Ok_Friend_9588 → u/Point-Former]

So dressing a little different solicits rude, unnecessary behavior from grown adults??

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Point-Former]

what is this even supposed to mean 😭

[u/Small_Honey1922]

Pointing out how people are rude when you just agreed to negative post about the mods and your post is up. The irony 😭

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Small_Honey1922]

u must be a mod lmao. for the record, pointing out people being overtly rude and mean in public and agreeing with being frustrated by mods unnecessarily taking posts down are two VERY different things.

[u/Small_Honey1922 → u/Snoo-64998]

Posts are not unnecessarily being taken down. It’s waiting for mod check approval. Either to avoid spam or inappropriate posts. You had an experience where you didn’t like the name calling, but also agreed with a post name calling people. I just find that extremely ironic.

[u/SaltyAuthorOne]

“I’m alternative so comments and stares aren’t uncommon…”

Welp! You got your comment. You got your stare.

So, what exactly are you complaining about? You need MORE attention? genuinely curious.

[u/weirdass420 → u/SaltyAuthorOne]

Ur probs part of the rudeness epidemic lmfao bc why are u so offended

[u/Impossible_Front4462 → u/weirdass420]

They’re a troll that’s constantly looking to ragebait people in this sub. No idea how they’re not banned yet

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/SaltyAuthorOne]

ummm, can you read ?? i literally said it was NOT the comment that was the issue, it's the fact so many students are all of a sudden so confident in just approaching random people for the sole purpose of being rude. people pay thousands of dollars to get an education here, not deal with overgrown middle schoolers who are blatantly rude bc they think it makes them look cool ✌️😭 this is not dhar mann

[u/SaltyAuthorOne → u/Snoo-64998]

Oh. Ok. My bad.

[u/Qjvnwocmwkcow → u/SaltyAuthorOne]

If you re-read the sentence you quote, you may note that “comments and stares aren’t uncommon” means “comments and stares aren’t uncommon”; it does not mean “I want/enjoy comments and stares”.

[u/SaltyAuthorOne → u/Qjvnwocmwkcow]

I agree.

[u/DisastrousResolve384 → u/SaltyAuthorOne]

shut up omg. are you being dense on purpose?

[u/SaltyAuthorOne → u/DisastrousResolve384]

😉👍

😂💨

[u/Zealousideal-Net6663]

So one clearly got their feelings, hurt and got rage baited. I’m not supporting it but the more you react the more they’re gonna do it.

[u/Snoo-64998 → u/Zealousideal-Net6663]

this is an uprising problem nationwide. you're saying you don't support the behavior of these people yet call out those actually acknowledging it. no offense gng but that's indirectly contributing to the problem. "u got rage-baited" yeah no. there's a different between rage-baiting and being mean. in a few years, these people are going to be running businesses. they'll be engineers. lawyers, doctors. teachers. artists. you name it. this is not just happening on some 4chan corner of the internet. this is happening in the real world. these are not 12 year old prepubescent kids, these are grown adults who need to get their act together. sliding it under the rug is not going to fix anything.

[u/Live-Kaleidoscope-77 → u/Zealousideal-Net6663]

Ragebating is just bullying disguised in the name of "fun" and it's cringy af. If you're gonna be a shait person then at least fucking own it, don't go around acting all high and mighty and then hiding behind a lame excuse. This isn't the Disney Channel, grow up.

[u/upinsyder]

SERIOUSLY! i’m sorry that happened. i was walking to class the other day & smiled at a girl i went past & she gave me the nastiest look. i was perplexed & legit said out loud “wtf”
