When you are trying to find a parking spot in a completely full lot and you find someone about to leave so you put your turn signal on and they get in the car and...just sit there. For well over a minute. What are you even doing? Start the car and move, I've been looking for a spot for half an hour.

I do this a lot. I run my own business so I keep my office in the car. I wrap up the days paperwork in the car (mostly on my phone) because once I get home I want to be done with work stuff.

I also eat my lunch in the car because I can have some peace and quiet there.

On topic:

People who are so eager to get your parking lot when you leave that they block you from getting out for fear of other people stealing the spot.

At least wave the person waiting on then. Surely if your parking lot is as busy as I am describing you yourself have been in the position of hunting for a spot for close to an hour and should be able to empathize.

If it's a lot with spaces though then it doesn't matter, sleep in there for all I care.

e: also this was in florida so you'd have to be insane to want to work in your car unless it's during the 1-2 weeks that some people might describe it as being "cold".

On the topic of directions using google maps actually to me turned around once. I printed the route off and went to where it started, then slavishly followed the directions given. When I saw my destination I kicked myself - I had literally done a complete circuit. If I'd just turned around I would have realised that I was already there!

My Facebook post: "I turn on the Mets game. Five seconds later, deGrom gives up a two-run homer that brings the game from 2-1 Mets to 2-3 Nats. gently caress this. I turn on the Marlins game. Less than one second later, Adam Conley hits Gregory Polanco with a pitch to load the bases, then gives up a triple, bringing the score to 8-0 Pirates. I'm a jinx."

Response #1: "Yay sportsball?"
Response #2: "Put the ball in the place and get larger numbers of things!"

Why do people think this is so clever? I know if I said some poo poo like "Yay video games, put a pixel through another pixel and win points!" they'd have something to say about it.

Exactly. Everyone I know that does this plays video games. Come on, man, just let people like things.

Vaping seemed like such a great idea. It was healthier. You could do it indoors without inconveniencing people.

And then people did the exact same things that got smoking banned everywhere by being as obnoxious about it as is humanly possible. Blowing "vape" in peoples faces to demonstrate that it doesn't smell bad (it does. Just not as bad as smoke). Vaping on public transportation, in other peoples cars and in the office/work place.

And now vaping is getting banned in one place after another. Some countries even started regulating it in law.

I think that this is part of the reason I appreciate Dylan Moran's standup - he knows that his smoking habit is a dumb one and plays to it with phrases like "I inserted my breakfast and lit it" and "I used to frequent cafe's, looking, for the american to smoke on!". I think my personal favourite line regarding it is in response to "Are you going to smoke that?": "Yes, but I'm not going to enjoy it. I'm only using it to LIGHT THE NEXT ONE :byodood:"

Dennis Leary has a great bit about smoking, where he just really owns into it, describing how he knows it's killing him and he doesn't care because the act of smoking is just so pleasurable to him. I can respect that in a weird way, one hedonist to another.

Denis Leary was fine in the movies he was in in the 90s, his rants were really well delivered in Demolition Man and Small Soldiers, but he's kind of dull as a comedian. George Carlin was more biting, and Dylan Moran has a magical way with words that allow him to weave amusing turns of phrase, like his views on eggs "They're not even a food! Just farts coated in substance..." or Breakfasts "Slices of dead pig, tubes of dead pig, some fungus and a chicken's period on a plate. LIES AND CORRUPTION!". Drunken idiot is his act but he has mastered it with his delivery.

It's by far his best movie. It is also better than the newer one, but that's probably better suited for the unpopular opinion thread.

Anyway, I find it pretty obnoxious when people flat out refuse to watch a movie they haven't seen just because they don't like an actor in it. I understand not liking Adam Sandler, but at least give Happy Gilmore or even Waterboy a chance. Maybe they still won't like it but it's so far ahead of his other stuff that it's almost a different actor. Maybe that's a bad example but I'm sure it happens to other better actors with people who do this too.

So what you're saying is, even if they don't like juvenile garbage, they should watch this particular juvenile garbage because it makes you personally feel nostalgic?

Maybe I hate fun, but life is too short to spend sitting in front of screens in silence watching stuff that doesn't, at the very least, inspire interesting and meaningful conversations. I don't think you're getting that from "waterboy".

People have different definitions of "juvenile garbage". Anyone who can't enjoy Happy Gilmore (and nostalgia has nothing to do with it) isn't someone I'd ever want to hang out with.
