Spelling errors on professional documents, especially signs/posters/ads. You don’t have to know everything, but you have to check before putting it up.
When I see restaurant specials boards riddled with mistakes it makes me want to not eat there.
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people just throwing trash out their car windows. It’s become disturbingly common and I really want to scream at the that the world is not their trashcan. I don’t, because I really think I would get shot.
Here’s something positive: precisely mentioning what they tried on a problem already!
If someone’s stuck on a problem and defines what help they need, then I have no thoughts either way. It’s just a problem, and something to be helped through. Neutral.
But if they describe what they did already, then I think “Wow, this person really put in some I-don’t-give-up effort! Nice work, bro!”
‘It has chemicals in it’
This use of ‘chemicals’ as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they’re parroting some scaremongering tiktok.
I had this talk with a member of my family. Water is a chemical, salt is a chemical. Just because you don’t immediately know what it is, doesn’t mean its bad.
I’m sure they know, but maybe this is word drift or shorthand for “harmful chemicals”. That’s a lot more plausible than literally turning “literally” into its opposite
It’s more of a lack of understanding of chemistry, this chemical compound contains something harmful in another form, but it is completely harmless in the form that it takes in this food or vaccine, etc.
Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.
Being completely unaware of anyone else:
- Standing in doorways, using your phone or having a conversation
- Talking loudly when inappropriate, when I’m in pain at the doctors, I don’t want to hear about your roses
- leaving your shopping trolley blocking the aisle sideways in the supermarket while looking for your stuff
- driving down the middle of the road so everyone else has to pull over, when there’s plenty of room for two cars to pass
- stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
- riding your delivery bike down the footpath at high speed weaving between pedestrians
As Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Hell is other people”.
stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
That’s my new pet peeve. The thing is I don’t remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone’s brains way more than we realize.
Someone stopped in front of me… on an offramp. Luckily there was nobody behind me to hit me, but that’s an insane place to stop. No hazard lights, no indication. Just stopped.
I once got caught behind someone who came to an abrupt stop in a roundabout so they could go to the next episode / video on their iPad that they had attached to their dashboard.
I once had someone do an emergency stop in front of me for no apparent reason in the fast lane of a not very busy motorway. I barely managed to stop in time from high speed.
Drag doesn’t mind it, because it only inconveniences car drivers and not any important people.
I can’t find a source right now, because I just woke up and I don’t want to, so (Trust Me Bro, et al, 2024) but there’s a chance that quote is actually about Nazis!
A lot of French people referred to them as “the others” and would often speak sort of semi-codedly about them in writing and such so as not to piss off their new overlords. So that line may well not have been “I’m such an introvert that being around other humans is like being in hell” but instead “hell has delivered itself to my doorstep in the form of goose-stepping bastards”
That’s not at all what the quote is and neither is the top level commenter’s interpretation, and I think it not being these is pretty obvious if you read No Exit. The point that he was making (and this is putting it crassly because I know jack shit about his Heidegger-based phenomenology) is the presence of other people forces us to be self-conscious, to regard ourselves as the object of someone else’s perception and judgement. That’s why Sartre goes out of his way to say the room (their jail cell in Hell, effectively) had no reflective surfaces, so that the character’s perception of themselves could only come from the people they are stuck with (this doesn’t entirely make sense, but I am pretty sure it’s what he meant). You can read him talk about some of the premises informing this by checking out his writing on “The Look,” like is quoted below this comic.
So it’s a slightly obtuse point about intersubjectivity that people have turned into a cutesy way of talking about their own misanthropy. It’s probably more emblematic of the meaning of the quote how people in this thread, original commenter especially, are talking about silently judging people for this and that action.
Or stepping off an escalator and just stopping right there to get their bearings.
Or as Daria said: “On second thought, hell is myself.”
Aka inconsiderate people
- riding your delivery bike down the footpath at high speed weaving between pedestrians
Gotta include the ones riding at night in black/dark clothes with no reflectors or lights; be it using the crosswalk, against a ‘do not cross’ or in the middle of the [car] lane, ignoring the bike lane.
You left out blasting across the road at full speed.
Up-voted for the apposite Satre ref.
- People who take phone calls with it on speaker
- People that have anything on speaker while in a public place
- Wearing “MAGA” clothing
- Having a cyber truck
- Leaving large gaps in the drive thru queue
- People with young children that they dress up like little adults.
- People who refuse to learn basic tech (email, texting, etc.)
- Edit: People that don’t like animals, or they dislike just cats. I feel like people who don’t vibe with animals in some way are… Off.
damn, I’m a judgy bitchI loudly judge people for things that I think are morally wrong, but I would feel quite bad if I voiced some of my other opinions. Yesterday one of my friends complained about someone coming through the McDonalds drive through and ordering too many chicken nuggets. They said that person had “no respect for how they made the employees feel”. It’s like… come on man. They just wanted some nuggies. Surely you can muster the immense strength of will required to cook a few extra?
If you cannot chew with your mouth closed and you are older than 6 years, you should not be allowed to vote, operate heavy machinery or have children.
Or guns.
There are people who have a genuine problem breathing fully through their nose though.
Take smaller bites.
I admire your commitment to this. I’m onboard. Fuck em, take smaller bites.
There’s a word for not being able to handle this: misophonia
It seems that for some people (myself included) it generates a primal urge.
Or use cutlery properly.
Drag is never going to stop putting food that’s way too hot in drag’s mouth. Simpler solution is to just make it a faux pas to eat food in front of others. Like the aliens in Enterprise.
Cool it off in your mouth before you chew then.
But it’s yummy tho :(
I agree, but the one person I knew who did this was a rich asshole. He had zero fucks to give.
Saying that they could care less when they mean they couldn’t care less.
Like, of course anyone can care less than they currently do.
People with shattered phone screens.
Pretty much anyone with a broken phone screen are just chaos moving around.
Owning giant pickup trucks and SUVs. I’m not that secretive about it, though. I assume everyone driving them is an insecure, overgrown child who wants a big vroom vroom.
If I know anyone who drives one, I always refer to it jokingly as their 'emotional support vehicle".
I’m not sure about everyone else, but in my case you assume correctly. The only reason I’d want a monster truck is to act like an overgrown child who wants to show off his big vroom vroom. Also, with a mandatory funny honk.
Is a minivan not allowed?
I don’t like them but they’re at least practical.
I’ll go a step further and assume they are…speaking loudly while carrying a small stick.
Interesting. I judge people who body shame people because of what they drive.
What they drive, what they own, and what their gender is.*
It’s always “man have small peepee, man bald, man fat, man have smaller than average features, man short,” with all replies being “haha so original and funny.” But god forbid someone said anything like that about a woman, at that moment everyone remembers body shaming exists and piles on and says things like “don’t objectify women.” Why the double standard? Do men not deserve the right to be comfortable with their bodies as well? Don’t objectify me either.
Patriarchy
Exactly
Wow beat me to it.
Not using headphones in public. I’m done being quiet about it tho
Username checks out
I done run outta hoots
Do you at least have some bubblegum left?
But being loud about it just contributes to the problem!
Shit Parking.
If you’re driving a 2 ton metal box and can’t have the spatial awareness to fit it into a large rectangle, you shouldn’t be on the road.
I agree, I shouldn’t be on the road. I try to be as safe as I can but I hate driving.
Being religious
