queserasera posted:People who just loooooove the smell of books. Old books, new books, book stores, etc. There are even candles and crap that tout themselves as having the new book smell. Book smell is decaying paper, rotting glue, and ink farts, with an optional side of dry mold and roach poop if it's a old used book. There, I said it, and I'd say it again if I had to. In the same vein, people who love books and share memes about loving books, books smelling good, and books that literally everyone had to read in elementary/middle school with "if you get this, you're a REAL book lover" or some dumb poo poo, and how they're better than people who party because they'd rather be at home reading a book, and how every time they're done with a book it's like a member of their family has died. Bonus points if they literally never talk about anything they're currently reading.

Sex Falcon posted:Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but it is the loving WORST When I worked as a janitor at a zoo, there would be a stack of toilet paper, rolled and wrapped, left on the back of the tank. Can you guess how many times I'd go to clean and find all the rolls, still wrapped, thrown in the toilet and then poo poo on? I had a good way to clean the bathrooms otherwise. Since they were all external, I'd take a gallon of bleach per pair of bathrooms, and the outside hose, throw the bleach everywhere but on the paper itself, and spray the walls, the toilets, the sinks, everything down. 12 hours later you could still smell the bleach. Come open it was at least able to be entered without eyes watering. But I do not understand how anyone can poo poo up the loving wall, or leave splatters all over the floor and throw the rolls, or better yet, ROLL the rolls over it to leave streaks across the floor. I only wish I could have caught someone in the act just to ask them the gently caress.

Janitor chat always reminds me of the story someone told about going into a bathroom and finding a neat trail of blood spots across the floor, up the wall, across the ceiling, down the other wall, and back across the floor, and the only thing they could think had happened was that someone had taken a soaked tampon, held it by the string, and whirled it around like a pinwheel.

Yarn spinners. Goddammit, maybe your time is worthless. Maybe you've got literally NOTHING loving BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE then tell long rambling stories with no point. Myself, if I say, "Joe, where's all the flathead screwdrivers" I want an answer along the lines of "ah left it next to the bench grinder" not "well me and Billy Bob was down to the hardware store and ol man Tatum was askin Darrel Hargus about how he got hurt and Darrel, he said he was huntin and fell out of his tree stand and ol man Tatum said was you huntin or jest drankin and Darrel admitted there mighta been a bit of drankin goin on and I said mister Tatum, I need a couple of yer best flathead screwdrivers and a buncha poo poo nobody could ever possibly care about" Because, see, I'm trying to tighten the chain on this chainsaw and I need a screwdriver. Every time I ask where a tool is I don't want to know where you got the tool, who else was at the hardware store, what they were talking about, it's like every loving body in the world is that one old codger from the Mark Twain story. If you don't work in a textile mill you don't need to spin no yarn.

I hate having to call out sick and then getting the "oh so you really needed three days off right after the weekend" glares. Fuckhole, I had PINK EYE. Want to see my prescription? I couldn't see out of one eye for a day, and had to do drops in both every 2 hours. For 2-3 days. You really want me loving driving with hosed up vision and passing this poo poo all over the place? Oh wait, three other people are out sick too? So it's possible we all came down with pinkeye? And still you want to give me crap for being out for three days? I know my boss is super stressed but seriously, the answer to "hey I will be in Thursday and am feeling better" is not "WE NEED YOU IN NOW."

Pretty much everybody and their dog knows the sketchy outline of how WWII went down, the relationships between the involved nations, even the wacky schemes and inventions that both sides cooked up in increasingly desperate attempts to win. It's not "the history fandom," it's knowledge that most of the literate world already possesses. And of course there's always a handful of short, pointless, fawning comments included in the screenshot, worshiping the OP as a blessed oracle of pure wisdom. >> THIS

It's not always a mistake, sometimes you want to quietly correct someone or just say something the other people don't need to hear. Sure, if it's intentional it's fine. The situation that made me think of it was dealing with a real estate agent. There's two of us sharing this flat, so for example I email the property manager about something being broken and CC my housemate so we can both be kept in the loop, and the response comes back just to me so I have to forward it.

It's not always a mistake, sometimes you want to quietly correct someone or just say something the other people don't need to hear. There's this one guy who insists on emailing both my personal work address plus a generic 'info@company.com' inbox which has filters that redirect relevant emails back to me, so I get his emails twice. When I respond I make a point of removing the generic address, but he always adds it back again in his subsequent replies. Every single time.

All I know is once a year the downtown area is full of these lovely people wearing stupid backpacks and doing some bullshit. It sounds like some stupid sales conference thing, but the picture reminded me of a kind of silly peeve I have: flash mobs. Silly because they aren't really hurting anybody and are probably having fun doing it, but... Especially the ones that involve people ~randomly~ showing up playing music, like orchestras and stuff. I hate being sent videos of that stuff with lines like "omg at 2:43 I totally cried. Amazing!". Also pushy improv people that try and drag you to their events all the time to participate. It always brings that scene from 22 Jump Street to mind because it's very accurate about how funny amateur improv almost always is, yet everyone thinks they're the next (guy on the cast from who's line is it anyway). e: I guess what I said could apply to any form of amateur comedy, but something about improv always struck me as especially obnoxious when it's bad. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 09:58 on Sep 29, 2016 |

Saying foreign words is OK if you're talking to someone in that language or it's a commonly used word/phrase used respectfully. I have never heard "namaste" aside from people who are obsessed with yoga really. Just make sure you say the word right if you must use it, nobody thinks it's funny if you, for example, go around germany saying "donkey shain" to people like my dad did.

E2: Mostly because saying "goodbye" is boring, "later" and "I’m out" is very 2000s, "peace" is lame and co-opts urban culture, "blessed be" is nauseating, "peace be with you" is too Catholic. And just look at this poo poo on Yahoo Answers: Hello: What's crackalackin? What it do, home skillet? (or home slice) How's things, chickadee? Sup frylock? What up? Yo-yo yiggidy-yo! Heeeeeeey (with sleezy eyebrows lifting up and down) Howdy stranger. What's shakin' bacon? SPEAK! Where have you been all my life? Don't even think about not saying hi. Fail. (while pointing and raising eyebrows) Relax. I'm here. Bye: Catch ya on the flipside. (Rocco from Boondock Saints) Peace! (or peace out bra). Time for me to peace out. Seeya! Adidas amigo/amiga. Later gater. Seeya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Bye-sexual. Until we meet again. (Tip imaginary hat) Hold the fort down, will ya? I have to go. (paired with shifty eyes and abrupt departure). I'll be bock.

cash crab posted:I am still unclear on if it's appropriate to turn to someone in class and go, "Hey, could you keep it down, please?" I had this happen more than once in high school and college with idiots that couldn't shut up when the teacher was trying to say or do something. Of course it's always the people with the worst (or borderline passing) grades that gently caress off, then complain when someone doesn't want to help them out. I got fed up a few times in my college classes and told a couple guys point blank that if they'd shut the gently caress up, they might actually learn something. Neither one graduated, one guy flunked and the other dude took some random job with his dad and never came back. Good loving riddance.

I feel like I'm constantly getting the "wow why do you know things like that" about topics I learned in middle/high school from people who were in the same schools and classes. They inevitably tell me their hilarious stories about talking/skipping/smoking during class. Glad you had fun, but now I have to explain to you why salting roads works or something simple while you act like I'm Rainman.
