I feel with technology, people turn stupid in an instant. I'd have to always hand hold even the basic functionality or understanding of what to do and why.

Even with technology, the amount of times I'm asked "What do I do next?" when it's something simple as clicking, they are still stupid. It isn't just old ladies, it's people around my age or younger who can't comprehend they are supposed to click a fucking arrow. Learned helplessness is so frustrating.

Thread tax: If you are going to larp about what country you are from, at least make it believable. I know what google translate looks like and it's hard to believe that you are truly Russian, French (whoever pretends to be French is a special kind of retarded), or whatever the fuck you chose.

Does not following instructions also apply to learned helplessness? I'll ask them to SPELL their email address, they'll say it as a word or spell it so fast, I cannot understand them. This is especially aggravating as some letters can sound the same.
 
It has always really bugged me that so many people don't understand how the DEFCON rating system works, and think that the higher the number, the more severe the situation is; it's not like the Richter or Fujita scales. Maybe it's a petty thing, but I always find myself to be annoyed when someone says something like "I think it's about to go DEFCON 5!" when something big is happening.

So, it's like golf, lowest number means the situation is dire. To be fair, we're wired to think that a higher number would mean something is developing.

Thread tax: group chats on Xbox/PSN is a horrible idea. I hate them as it is on my cell phone.
 
I hate writing these long posts and they don't get activity or engagement. Almost feels like I wasted my time.

People used to smoke on planes. Different time, different world.

Smoking restaurants still existed in my life time. I'm glad that it has been stomped out. In a weird way I'd rather smell cig smoke sometimes than fruity gas ass vape scent or weed. Some of the shit people vape smells so nauseating

When you're humming or singing a song to yourself and someone comes in, hears you doing it, then immediately starts humming or singing a different song. Are you specifically trying to piss me off, are are you so retarded that you couldn't tell the difference between the two songs?

Dear American hyper fatasses, if you are over 300+ pounds please do not stand in grocery store isles for prolonged periods of time.

They are not designed for circus animals and you being there means me and every other normal sized person cannot pass, kindly get the fuck put of my way.
 
Person A: "my phone is not working because of xyz."
Me: "okay, so you're saying that your phone is not working because of xyz?"
Person A: "no."
Me: "no, that's not the issue?"
Person A: "no, that is correct."

I hate that shit. If you say no for that sort of question, that would tell me that I was incorrect with reiterating or understanding the question.
 
I hate that all these delivery drivers think that they can park their shit anywhere on the road so long as they have their blinkers on, blocking traffic, when they could just as easily pull over to the curb where there's plenty of parking space.
 
Use your fucking words, the reason why I can't help you is that you decided to play charades instead of being an adult and actually communicating what is wrong. Then you have the audacity to get upset about your time being wasted and blame me for slowing things down, but we both know if you used your words, we wouldn't be in this mess. But of course, you aren't going to learn anything and we will be back to the same issue next month. And no, saying "I don't know" doesn't help me understand what is wrong.

Turning your hazard lights on means you can park wherever
 
People addicted to their cellphones to the point that they pay no attention to their surroundings. We have this new guy who is as green as can be, and he has bumped into me at least 20 different times by "accident". If work is a bit slow during the day? He will fuck around on his phone out in the open for the bosses to potentially catch him without any shame in the world. A job is going on that has a stop-and-go motion? He will be glued to his phone instead of on standby. Jesus.

People do this with every animal. You'll see a video of a really happy cow rescued from being killed and it's just running around and hopping in a field it's never experienced before and there's a "HAPPIEST STEAK I EVER SEEN" type comment. You'll see a rabbit showing how smart they are doing a puzzle for a treat and someone will comment about eating it. I have to assume it's rage bait, or people met with the reality that animals do feel things and it bothers them deeply because they eat them and have to justify viewing them as simply just food with no ability to feel anything as living creatures.

Being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole aside, maybe it's just a counter reaction to the far more annoying (and numerous) houlier-than-thou "omg I can't believe people actually eat these majestic animals, they have feelings just like any human!" types you see on any kind of these videos.

To Hell with that.

If you let fear of looking "cringe" throttle your principles, you might as well be a tube man flailing outside a car dealership—no spine, no direction.

Having to piss
Click to expand...
you're really telling me that you don't like taking a fat steamy piss after a big drank?
that's one of the 3 aspects of relief we're allowed on god's earth
shitting, pissing, and snoozing

are you a fucking alien? or just fat?
does your fat ass drink 3 pounds of soda every day? and you pass a piss stone every 30 minutes?
shut the fuck up, stop shtting on peeing
don't talk shit about piss.
