When a person is talking and is like 94% sure they have some minor detail correct, but don't want to look like an oblivious idiot and also want to pull in the person who usually does know the details, instead of saying, "correct me if I'm wrong, so-and-so" or "so-and-so can correct me if I'm wrong," or "I believe," they now say,"now, keep me honest here, [so-and-so]."

I'm hearing it more and more, and I hate it. That's not what "keep me honest" means, and if you a data point, you're not being dishonest; you just got it wrong. Dumb folksiness.
 
The current trend of being a super traditional conservative Christian online, and especially on the farms.
Bible quoting and whatnot in one topic, throwing a hissy fit in the next one and calling others names. Pick one.
It's so fake, obvious and pandering that it disgusts me.
I respect true practitioners of Christianity, but this online fad, absolutely disgraceful and tasteless.
Now give me my 🎩
 
People online who act cutesy and use emojis (especially :3 and ^_^, though I don't see them much nowadays) to appear more endearing, but are the most vicious, nasty cunts imaginable if you dig underneath the surface.

They're complete bitches and bastards, the most likely to cozy up to the jannies/owners and will call out anything and everything.
 
When you're turning left at some stop light and some passive aggressive douche speeds up literally just out of spite to stop you from turning. It would have cost him like two seconds to let you turn, but no, this fuckwad deliberately speeds up for no reason. If you hadn't been there, he'd have kept going the normal speed, but he saw you, said "fuck you specifically" in his mind and then sped up just to make sure you couldn't.

You want to turn it into a game of chicken but then you look at his beat-up piece of shit and realize he wins this game.

"The password isn't long enough."

Nah, fuck you, man. I'm not going to remember this password.
 
I'm at the point I have enough logins via various doctor's offices and other finance shit I have to keep a physical notebook. Younger me would be horrified.

Tax: One of the supers is trying to throw a Halloween party and I don't have an excuse not to go this year. It's not going to be a good time, people are just going to be sitting around getting drunk and watching shitty horror flicks. Apparently someone's going to be bringing their baby to this because she can't find a sitter and really, really wants to come. The super is not going to let me off with "party's aren't my thing", she's going to beg and cajole me into coming because "I might be surprised and have a good time". Hope something comes up and I can wiggle out of it.

We all should be using password managers. But I'm too lazy.

Maybe you will have fun at this party.
 
You ever see one of those actresses where you’re like, “whoa, this woman's got IT factor, I gotta see what else she's done,” and then you go digging and it’s just a wasteland of schlock.

Like sure, they can elevate a bad movie, but you’re still sitting there watching a bad movie, only now it’s bad in a slightly more annoying way.

Driving etiquette has gone to shit, especially after the pandemic. There were articles written about it and the excuse was that everyone was so traumatized by Covid that they had no choice but to drive like a jackass. Except now it’s five years later and they’re driving worse than ever so what’s their excuse? Seeing a lot more accidents as people fuck around and find out.

Oh, this reminds me of something that grinds my gears, and still does to this day. This was a long time ago, but I'll mention it. I went to see The Ring. Some genius decided to bring their baby to see this. The mother and the father. Someone else brought their toddler. To a horror film. One that has loud noises. The baby one was more annoying since one of the parents could have stayed home to take care of the kid.

Don't bring your children to horror films. Especially ones that are toddlers and babies.

Dealing with these sort of people in the past. I automatically get cautious the second one puts a cutesy wholesome act, and I'm never surprised when drama comes from them.

Thread tax: Nasty nails that never get cut and cleaned.

The cherry on that shit sundae is when they pretend that you’re the only one that has a problem with it. Yes, everyone is happy paying more for less, I am the asshole here. I’d rather just them own up to it versus telling me that my lying eyes are deceiving me and the product is better than ever!

People trying too hard to be witty and comedic in their posts in Community Happenings thread, to the point where it becomes a long-winded word salad. For crying out loud, just be brief and try to pique interest while leaving your comedy routine to the actual thread meant for it.

Most people who post in happenings threads are sticker farming. Keep it funny/insightful and keep it brief. Can’t do either? Then don’t post.

Stores like Walmart and Dollar Tree have huge areas for Halloween shopping, but trick or treat has died out in my town. Nobody does it anymore sadly. I never see kids walking around outside, and nobody ever shows up at my doorstep. I think the fucking morons in my town are scared of being attacked by pedophiles or something. They now have trunk or treat in the strip mall parking lot nearby, but I stopped paying attention.

I blame niggers. Niggers started invading our lily white enclave about a decade ago and will just fucking raid every wypipo’s houses by grabbing a bunch of fucking candy. Then some will just loiter around the neighborhood. Coincidentally any car that’s not inside a garage will get fucked with on Halloween the moment we got invaded by blacks. We didn’t used to need to lock our doors on our cars but after getting invaded by niggers, everyone just started parking inside the garage and an increasing amount just stopped participating altogether. House break ins increased when blacks started coming by. Not that I needed another reason to be racist but ruining Halloween is sad.

Some dumb bitch brought a three-year-old with them when the first Lord of the Rings (the Peter Jackson ones, not the animated ones, God I'm not that old) came out. Kid kept crying and eventually had enough when the Uruk-Hai birthing scene happened and wouldn't stop wailing. The mom finally got the hint and left then. What is with parents bringing young kids to movies like this?

Jesus threw at least one documented hissy fit, and the only reason he never called someone a fag is because "fag" isn't a word in Aramaic.

It's called media literacy, honey.

At one point during the movie, the baby started crying. The dad ended up standing near the doorway while the baby was crying, which meant all of us could still hear it the entire time.

Because he couldn't just take the crying baby out of the room to calm it down.
