Same goes for people who have consistently good takes or post fun/interesting information but hide their profile anyway. These guys have got nothing to hide, I want to find more of their stuff quickly, without having to run around the site looking at random threads on the off-chance they might have posted there!
 
Self appointed bosses. Look, I'd freely admit that having an entry level job puts you on the bottom of the totem pole (the balls on the dick if you will), but it's some major bullshit when someone who's barely 1 level higher than you thinks they can boss you around. The boss? Sure, you need to do what they say. 2IC? Absolutely, they're basically a boss in their own right. Entry level person + 1? Piss off. You're not some kind of management, you're the second lowest level job here. Don't be acting like the foreskin when you're only the nut-suck section right above the balls on the dick.

Damn, a lot of people here seem to hate that, i'd probably piss half of KF irl. It's common where i'm from to affectionately call acquaintances "brothers"

It's really funny to see people that make like 400 more than you act like they're not as replaceable as you. And they often do it just to score brownie points with upper management
 
Dumbasses who still bother paying with cash in today's age. I was behind three old cunts who did this when trying to get one damn thing at a thrift store today. All it does, is that it wastes everyone's time and extends lines. Even worse is when the old due to die hags have to fucking dump everything on the counter so they can play 52 pick up when they get their shit in. Pay with card, asshole!

Those retarded flashing yellow yield signs. I hate these things, they're there to give you an open opportunity to turn into somewhere. But all it actually does, is that it insults you when you're in a place where people are continually coming, so your light is just wasted on watching herds of retards flying by you in long lines.

Speaking of herds of retards, everytime I leave for work at night or just in general day time, I have to sit for almost 9 minutes as I watch fucking morons in groups of vehicles just passing in both directions. Nobody is kind enough to let people in or out. So great, just sitting here and watching idiots go and go until finally there's an opening.

Phones not auto-focusing enough. Look, if we're going to have phones that claim to take pictures in 54MP to rival professional cameras of yesteryear and comparable to some modern models. I had expect the fucking phone to get its focus right enough to take a picture instead of it fading in and out as if you punched it in the eye.

Thrift store people who can't for the life of them, tag shit when things are donated. I had this happen recently, normally, thrift stores should be able to just give you a price if nothing is tagged. Then at that point, you take the price or leave it. Profit is profit to thrift stores. But not to the one I went to, I picked out an item and it had no tag, it was withdrawn. This happened to a woman who wanted a pair of pants before me, same deal, walked away empty-handed.

Disorganized and crowded lines. I'm sorry but are you line? If you are, then actually know what the fuck a line is, not just shuffling in a group unorganized. I'm so tired of people who shuffle up infront of counters, breathing down your neck as they're so desperate to CONSUME whatever the fuck they have. Back the fuck off and get in the back, asshole.
 
As a geriatric Zoomer(I'm 29 eww) I must use my senior citizen wisdom and my status as village elder to speak for all Zoomers when I say....cringe Millennials and Gen X'ers(and even a sprinkling of Boomers) trying to mimic the way they think we talk is our generation's 9/11.

It's really starting to make me uncomfortable and irritated the amount of old people I hear adding "maxxing" to the end of every fucking banal word they utter, adding the words "normie" and "rizz" and "doomer" to their vocabulary etc...WE DON'T FUCKING TALK LIKE THAT HOLY SHIT STFU ALREADY!!

Well okay a subset of us do occasionally talk like that, but my point is the way people try to copy us by laying it on so thick is annoying as fuck like just talk like a normal person goddamn. It's almost offensive, it's like they think Zoomers are retarded as shit and can't understand basic English or something so they have to communicate with us using our language. Like we're a different fucking species or something. It's patronizing as hell!


It reminds me of how the generations before them would also try to mimic the "youngsters" by being like "Sup my diggity dawg, what's the 411, you heard? That's so hip and rad! Far out, y'all" or whatever the fuck. And the "youngsters" would be like "Ew we don't even talk like that. You're embarrassing me Dad, don't walk next to me or my friends will see you!"


...so yeah, that's what's been grinding my gears lately!

It's even worse when they aren't even a supervisor, but since they're friends with one of the managers, they get away with things that most others wouldn't. I'm saying this as someone who is a manager.

Tax:
1. Ramadan and youtubers posting about ramadan - this is the worst form of the major fasting season I see. Congrats, you do a college student's diet of not eating anything until dinner while doing normal religious activities. At least the Catholics and Protestants try to give up something for over a month. And the recipes these foodtubers post are no different than the usual slop they push.

2&3 are both similarly caring, but for different things:

2. With the suicide of Rondale Moore, every sports page and sports personality is doing the "check up on your friends" as if you haven't already. Just a performative platitude to make the personality look good and guilt trip the lazy and bad friends into talking with someone they are acquainted with. Plus as someone who has been through some depressive episodes, I can tell when someone's checking up on me just to look good rather than being genuine about it.

3. Every type of youtuber talking about the Epstein Files and how they hate pedophiles. Meanwhile, they said nothing when Hasan was visiting brothels that had teenaged prostitutes, or Kendrick Lamar wanting to sue Spotify for attempting to remove R.Kelly's musical catalogue (due to them not taking down other bands). It's just more slacktivism to show how much of a good person you are and how you hate the system while doing nothing to change it.
(I also see this with certain foodtubers who make homemade versions of pantry staples saying "the corpos think you're stupid for buying this" rather than showing off how easy and cheaper it is to make at home).
 
Being told I have "too much free time" by family/coworkers whenever I talk about xyz autistic personal projects I engage in after work that aren't doomscrolling on my phone or watching netflix or whatever the fuck. This has annoyed me to the point that I don't tell people anything I am up to when it comes up in conversation and just say "not much."
 
Bought juice from a brand which I buy rarely. It is billed as Citrus Mix, I take a swig and notice weird peach-like flavour. Look into the ingredient list, and what is very first, so biggest amount, ingredient?

Motherfucking apple. A honorary citrus, I guess.

Should have bought their red orange juice, but it is tiny bottle-only and my inner jew dies at buying three.
 
Dumb fucks who visit beautiful, historic places just to film a tiktok dance or pose for Instagram. No actual interest in the place itself they just want a backdrop for their bullshit.

I've come to accept that it's just an awkward way to continue the conversation when they've got no other input, like a throwaway line or banter that isn't actually personal because they have no idea what else to say.

Once upon a time, before crypto was a twinkle in Satoshi's eye, the pro-privacy people were very big on cash because the cards track everything you purchase. I'm sure the old people were just being old, but there's old hippies out there doing the same thing for the same old reasons as well.

We do this for the same reason everyone has done it throughout history. We remember being young and cringing. Now we're older and we want the hilarity of making the young cringe. It's Dad Jokes but with slang. YoU'lL uNdErStAnD wHeN yOu'Re OlDeR.

TT:

I'm currently in a dispute with a university and, long story short, their bureaucracy is so bloated that they can no longer wield it, and they're trying to say this is somehow my problem and my fault and that's why they want to not only keep my money instead of giving it back - but they also can't be assed to call their waitlist to fill the seat I am vacating. These seats take a year to secure and someone would be thrilled to have it, but this institution - which exists for the sole purpose of educating - can't be bothered to pick up a phone to make some student very happy. Real cunts. I'm taking them to court.
 
The fact that more and more places demand a card and refuse cash entirely.

Baby GenX here,



Where the fuck do you see this? The fellow olds I know only have a passive knowledge of zoomers slang and it's so retarded, it's kinda funny so they might be saying it ironically to bug zoomers.

i thought all that shitty slang was over a year ago?

I'll give you a break here because I don't actually hear that kind of slang outside of stupid social media content. Where I live even the white kids sound ghetto because of the demographics.

When I was a teen Beavis and Butt-Head were popular and we certainly weren't going around laughing like retards while breaking stuff all day. Yet still sitcoms would spoof it. Step By Step had a couple of characters like that that appeared a couple of times.
My local rock station has a commercial where the lady reads it in zoomerspeak and says she can't understand it. I guess the joke is that she's been reading the commercials for decades and has a cool rock chick voice that doesn't match the slang at all.

I think part of the issue is that your generation is the first to grow up with internet and cellphones. Even late millennials had more of an overlap with old tech. A lot of households still didn't have home internet when they were in the lower grades. So you guys are exposed to a world no other generation before was in the same way. There's definitely some cultural difference. It's not a huge wall or anything. But it's there more than some older generations. I was born at the tail end of Gen X/Early Millennial and in my house the lifeline to the outside world was a pink wall mounted rotary phone in the kitchen. You needed assistance you dialed 0 or 411. Now you just ask ChatGPT. It's a different world for sure.

Just a normal brotherhood, which, coincidentally, contains the exact word that's being mocked (for some odd reason).

No one ever says bro, brutha, etc?

HH definitely didn't coin the usage of "brother" to address male contemporaries.

Fuck off with this bullshit. You don't even have the "muh funny pictures thread" excuse here. The whole point of a forum is discussion. In a literal sense, this is literally what a forum is. A public room or area where discussion takes place.

This is why as soon as those redditoids started pushing this crap in the funny pictures thread I knew it was bad news. It's a bad influence on newfags.
 
I wouldn't mind people playing music loud if it weren't so shit, and if it weren't the same demographics doing it. What is it with niggers that makes them think everyone needs to hear their shitty mumble rap?

This is a good point lol. I had some neighbors in the past that would host their rock band jam sessions out of their apartment for everyone to hear during around lunchtime in summer and I didn't have too much to complain about. It was nice. They weren't even that good. What happened to nigger music being jazz and shit man
