I think I have just heard the most pretentious thing I've ever heard in a movie discussion yesterday. To paraphrase, they said "its like you have an unspoken contract with the actors that you know its not real, but are willing to suspend your disbelief and act as if it was". The retard must have felt so deep for writing that, but that applies to literally any work of fiction. It's kind of the entire point of fiction.
 
Lately, in my local supermarket, the customer in front of me at the checkout always seems to have some issue that takes way too long to resolve (usually a credit card refusing to work) and I'm left waiting the whole time, but today was the worst experience of this ever.

The woman in front had about six vouchers for Always pads, and was so fucking desperate to get them used, for some reason, she didn't give a shit how long it took, eventually taking around 15 fucking minutes. I could not believe how inconsiderate she was. Wasting your own time is one thing, but when you're holding up other people as well, you'd think she'd give up and try it again another time.

But this was made even worse by the family behind me. I already had all my items at the checkout, but they didn't, yet they refused to go to another checkout, and God, I wish they did. The boy wouldn't stop making stupid noises, and I think the dad had a cold. If I catch it myself, I'm going to be so pissed off.

I'm going to have to start using self-serving checkouts in the future. I cannot bear the thought of going through that again. Other people can be so fucking annoying.
 
Hobby gentrification. If I hear some variation on "Well ~I~ am having a WONDERFUL time as a BRAND NEW FAN, but I hear some old sticks-in-the-mud are mad because (new adaptation) isn't exactly like it is in the books/tabletop/lore/whatever" when discussing something that bears almost zero resemblance to its source material...
 
I went to a local event that was advertised as a goth show.

I get there, the DJ's playing dubstep. There's trannies all over.

I hang around for a couple hours. Chat some folks up. A very horny/autistic/oversharing pooner solicits me. I decline.

At no point was anything remotely resembling goth music played.
 
When a new consultant gets hired by management and he has !!!ZERO!!! fucking experience on how to do the job he's paid to do. So now I have to educate this consultant (that gets paid MORE than me) on how to do HIS fucking job when I have other responsibilities to attend to. He also works TWO days a week meaning that he will barely do any fucking work because his project demands a lot of time and most surprisingly he already decided to attend at least 5 hours of meetings a week.
The most annoying thing about it, is that his project heavily overlaps with my current side-project. Meaning that I have to share all of my work with him and bring him along with me when it is related to my project. Why do I have to babysit this consultant when he barely does the work of an unpaid intern.
Should I or should I not help him, or just barely.

I am equally bothered by the "as if it was."

In the same vein, "crotch fruit". Yeah, and? Do you wanna possibly throw out the word "moist", too?

Nothing is above criticism, but I fucking hate needless disdain.

Every single time I have seen someone use the term "crotch fruit" on Reddit, it is followed by a moron praising the poster for their hilarity and asking if they can use the term.
 
Everyone is incredibly paranoid and twitchy now and granted this isn't really their fault.

The U.S was formerly a very high trust society and as of 2025 I think it's officially transitioned into a low trust one via corruption and mass third world immigration but it's still not very pleasant to live in or interact with.

A long time ago in the early 2010s I went to some kitschy synthetic punk rock revival bar in Manhattan that tried to promote itself as being a spiritual successor to CBGB. Had large portraits of Joey Ramone and Deborah Harry to try to hammer in the anesthetic. What music were they playing? Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and generic reggaetron rap. Really missed the point there, guys.
 
Manufacturers should stop putting huge, unbreakable seals on the lids of every container bigger than a 1 liter bottle. I accidently slashed right through the top of a plastic canister of antifreeze with an old hunting knife while trying to cut one such seal and had to pour the fluid out of the resulting linear cut. Ended up spilling like a quarter of it all over the floor and my car's radiator grille.

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.

Retard. The other guy has even less interest in slowing down and waiting until you accelerate from a full stop and complete the turn while having the right of way than you have in waiting for him to pass while not having that right. The rules are the same for everyone, and if you get a pissy attitude from something as insignificant as this while behind the wheel (therefore being directly responsible for the well-being of your passengers) then you're most likely one of those 'road rage' types who like to create dangerous situations and always have something to prove on the road and thus shouldn't be driving in the first place.

He doesn't have the right to speed even more than he already was you cocksucking faggot.
 
This little fucking homo plastic fagbags that drinks are in now days. They suck to hold, then you have to spend all this extra effort to suck its little plastic chode to get the last bits out. Just use a fucking bottle.
