I live in a townhouse because I don't think I could stand living underneath someone, and I would be super paranoid about bothering anyone living under me. I would hate to have a neighbor as shy as me who never let me know I was being annoying! Thin Privilege posted:My mom lives in a townhouse. Her new neighbors installed a basketball thingy inside the house ! You have a perfectly good porch which is bigger than the inside of your house! All day it's BANG BANG BANG. We even were friendly and gave them a booklet from *city* free sports teams/events where your kids could play basketball all day! Your kids would be so happy to play with other kids than banging on their townhouse wall! But noooooo lets force these poor kids to play basketball in a 10x10 kitchen instead of an athletically-sized gym. This actually made my heart sink into my stomach. I hate personal basketball so much. Every neighborhood (except my boyfriend's thank god) has at least one ugly basketball stand in the street. If you're lucky, no one uses it. If they do, say good bye to peaceful weekends or relaxing after work. In the bf's neighborhood, the lone teenager there has to walk to a court, and there's no easy path there so I get to hear him dribble the ball in front of the house, down the street, then around the corner, and finally down the street past the back of the house. It only takes ten minutes but if I'm in the middle of concentrating or trying to take a nap I just want to pull my hair out. I can't imagine a hoop inside a house. Holy poo poo. Are these kind of people just completely immune to noise? What is wrong with noisy people?

It's built above/next to a big road (complicated suburban setup), in any case there's fancy rich homes about 300 feet across it. Some jerkoffs bought a 900 inch tv so big I could see what they were watching and one night had such a loud party at 1am I actually called the cops, only because me, being 300 feet away could hear it I can't imagine what their poor neighbors were dealing with. Plus suburbs have patios and back yards so lots of parties in general. Dumb loud idiots are everywhere. walrusman posted:Or maybe people were, like, raised in different environments from yours, and developed different preferences and expectations...

I hate the modern evolution of language. I know I am a loving curmudgeon but it annoys the hell out of me. Some of it grows out of innovative communication, new designs in technology or social connectivity or art, but MOST of it just evolves out of mistakes, poor education, disregard for grammar, memes and awful Internet trends. Recently someone on Facebook called me a "troll" because in a comment (of which this jerk posted a content-void picture of the characters Vin Disel and the angry Mexican lesbian actress whose name I can't remember and said he thought this was the perfect relationship) mentioned that it was ironic because both actors are gay. This caused some weird explosion of misdirected anger and bigotry; some people were calling me a homophobe for suggesting they were gay, and others were being homophobic by saying that these actors ain't no queers, and then there was a lot of in-fighting and oh I don't loving know. I thought they were gay? Maybe they're not. It doesn't make a difference to me, I just thought it was ironic. So anyway, one guy says that all this fighting between the main guy's friends was caused by me (which, by the way, I didn't respond to anything but that one comment) and that they were "feeding the troll" by fighting. So now I'm annoyed because, they're calling me a troll. Why the gently caress is that? What is a troll? Some big green thing that lives under a bridge? Is a troll homophobic? Does a troll feed off negativity? No; this is an annoying evolution of "trolling," which is like, a fishing method in which you bait the fish and lure it in to you. When you're "trolling" someone on the Internet, you're baiting them into some kind of snafu, like an argument or whatever. You are NOT A TROLL when you do this. You might be, say, a "troller," since you are committing the act of trolling, but just because you employ a method of baiting not dissimilar to that of a fisherman it doesn't turn you into a god drat motherfucking boogeyman god loving drat it. And I wasn't trolling, anyway.

I do sort of enjoy intersectional squabbling, where there are two ways someone may have been wronged and everyone breaks down arguing over who Did The Most Wrong, or whatever. It's like the thing about the Rock character in the upcoming Pixar movie, where someone was upset that he looked "fat" because that apparently carries on a stereotype of Pacific Islanders being obese, and then a bunch of people got mad back because even if he did look fat, then that's good for body positivity, or whatever. Everyone's the victim and nobody's right and everyone's wrong and it's your fault and internet discourse is one meringue topping away from being a slapstick pie fight.

And, okay, well, maybe I'm wrong? I thought they were both gay. Admittedly I never actually looked up to verify it, I just had always thought they were Edit: Anyway, my rant was about the noun "troll" not having anything to do with the verb "to troll." I admit I am lazy when it comes to verifying the things I'm bitching about.

One of my friends has recently made a new pal, and keeps inviting her to our get-togethers. This is normal. The problem is, this woman is so loving obnoxious I can't even handle it. She always makes stupid, tired, lame jokes (often rehashing something someone else already said) well after the conversation has moved on to another topic. Then, because nobody laughed at it, she sits there and whines "nobody heard my joke... hey, nobody heard my joke!" until we stop talking, let her say it again and fake a laugh so she'll loving drop it. If we don't, she'll sulk and bitch about it the rest of the night. How do people get like this? She's almost 30 and I'm pretty sure she has a toddler at home, but she acts like a loving 8-year-old who's desperate for validation. Every time she pulls this poo poo, it completely ruins the flow of conversation.

Same with people who refer to themselves as the mother or father of their pet. It's a dog. It's not your baby. It's an adult dog. You are not its parent. It's a dog. You are its owner.

People that are obviously sick who refuse to go to the doctor. "That cough is getting pretty nasty, maybe you should see the doctor." "Oh *cough* I think *cough* it's *COUGH* getting *COUGH COUGH COUGH* better though. *cough" *repeat conversation for the next week until they finally go to the doctor and are diagnosed with bronchitis* "Huh, guess I was sick after all!" Also people that speed up to try and cut you off when you're trying to pass, as if being passed is an affront to their special snowflake millenial pride.  And lastly, maybe more of a FWP than a peeve, but my stupid cat has found a way to get at the rash the cone of shame is supposed to be keeping her from getting at until it's healed. You're just prolonging the torture, cat!  Can't really get a bigger cone cause then she wouldn't be able to eat.

bradzilla posted:People that are obviously sick who refuse to go to the doctor. Unless you work with them or are otherwise forced to be in their presence I'd support the "mind your own business" side of things. I hate being pushed to go to a doctor when I know I only have a cold or the flu just to get antibiotics or whatever I don't need. Obviously you shouldn't go to work with something contagious (unless you are forced to to keep your job, in which case the blame lies on your employer for a lovely policy) - for me it's mostly friends and family who do this, like if they ask how you are and you say you have the flu they flip out as if you just said you got diagnosed with cancer. My policy is avoid the doctor until you really need one, unless it's free and you have nothing better to do with your day. Also I'll speed up to prevent someone from passing me if they're trying to pass on my right when I'm not in the fast lane. I know it's dangerous but so is passing on the right, so gently caress them. Coincidentally, Intoluene I do drive an SUV.

Sick people:. My manager at my last work started hacking up her lungs, and continued working open-close doubles. Three weeks later, she was still coughing, her eyes looked deep and black, her hair and skin looked washed out. This is around the time I left for another job, since she just wasn't hiring any relief staff and nobody could take it anymore. Two weeks later, I went in to grab my last check, and hear her in the backroom, still hacking and snorting while doing food prep. All the customers waiting looked grossed out.

She also calls her cats "kitkins" which bugs me to no end. She's insisted that I am a "mom" to my cat, despite the fact that I specifically have a cat and not a kid, and I've told her repeatedly that I'm not a mom and don't want to be. Yes, she's family, yes, she's my friend and companion and yes, I've had her for a very long time and will have her until she's gone. But she's my companion, not my kid. If I wanted a kid, I would have one. But I don't. I want a cat. I have a cat. I think she's just disappointed that I never had kids and thinks "well, at least she has somebody" and is transferring that label onto my cat.
