Grown rear end people who post on social media in that weird "doggo" vernacular ("doing me a concern", "heckin", etc.) should be banned. edit: You Are A Elf posted:Also, I never hear a "My mother was an [OCCUPATION] for thirty years" excuse.

Seriously the only time it is okay to mention a fetish to a stranger is when it's a loving escort. When there's a meeting or a talk going on, and the people at your table are talking just loud enough that you can't hear the speaker but quiet enough not to upset anyone a table or two over. Fuckwads, I came here to listen about the fish club and convention, not the fact you have 17 loving grandkids and like to paint!

Forgetting once is fine and easily laughed off, but he got a cat a week ago and every single time we've talked since then he's said "yeah so I got a cat! His name is Doctor, or do you think I should call him Nugget?" When I worked at Barnes and Noble we all had to take this random test for some reason and one of the questions was along the lines of "if a woman brings in a bunch of ferrets and says they're therapy animals is it OK to let her bring them in even if she doesn't have verification?" The answer I gave was gently caress no but apparently the actual answer is "yes just let any crazy person bring animals into store without question" which doesn't seem like a great policy

This isn't really that dumb, any more than most newspaper/magazine filler, but it rubbed me the wrong way. I was late to pick up my kid once. I'll never do it again because it made my kid feel bad and because it reminded me of my parents who were late to the point of neglect, arguably. quote:When a nurse appeared, I cut the small talk and explained my hurry. To her glib Oh it'll be okay, honey. Why don't you text him? I responded: "I told him I'd be there. I made a promise." I can't text my son! quote:Though my intentions are strong, most days, I'm balancing competing priorities. That's the language I used to justify my actions on my son's last day of first grade. My goals that day were unrealistic. Scrambling, I arranged for a parent of one of my kid's friends to meet him when school released. They would play on the playground until I could get there. He wouldn't even notice my absence with the heightened stimulation from the last day of school, I reasoned. How the hell did the last day of school become so important? When I was in grade school we just had a little party and cleaned out our desks and then got on the buses and went home. and I went to a good school where parents would come in and volunteer and stuff. The grown-ups didn't make a big deal of it, and in retrospect that's good, because my little brain didn't deal that well with transitions and making a big deal out of it would just have made it harder for me to deal with this big change. I also hate that I'm turning into one of those people who complains that we're spoiling our children. Just leave the kids alone and let them make their own memories, you drat emotional vultures.

It irks me how people will start frothing at the mouth for retribution when kids are involved. For example parents who leave a toddler in the car to burn to death in the summer. That's so awful it's hard to think about it but it keeps happening to other-wise normal parents. They shouldn't be dragged out back and shot- lobby car companies for child-alarms or something. That parent is already in a terrible place, for christ's sake.

Any time I mention playing outside by myself as a kid to someone younger than me, I have to quickly toss in that it was a normal thing to do back then. More than once I've been interrupted with questions of where my parents were or why they'd let me do that. No, my mother wasn't abusive or neglectful. Yes, it was normal to go play at the park on your own at the age of 7. So I was born in 1988. When's the cut-off date for unsupervised-is-abuse parenting?

Last week it was taken to a ridiculous extreme in my town when a kid went back into the house to grab something while the parents waited outside and they got the cops called on them for it. And yeah, I get asked about it when I talk to even 20 year-olds sometimes. Enough that I've had to adapt the aside and catch myself mentioning it when talking to people my age.

I think they scared an entire generation stupid. Everyone is out to kidnap and murder your child and here are all the different ways it can happen. Or here's all the ways your kid will die if they play outside on their own complete with dramatic re-enactments.

Ugh, naive sheltered terrified people are the worst... At my old apartment building everyone would hang out and smoke on the back steps. Mostly mildly weird middle-aged men and women. I was like 22 and shy so I guess they saw me as a kid. On several occasions, when I tried to run to the store around 7 PM they begged me "don't go out there!" and one lady tried to physically restrain me, certain that venturing into the suburban shopping center at dusk would spell my doom. I live a few miles away now, basically on a college campus in a total college town. One of my friends lives a couple blocks away in a different apartment complex, part of which is off-campus student housing. He was supposed to come chill with me and my boyfriend on the 6th, but refused to leave his house because he "heard gunshots". On July 6th. We asked him if perhaps what he heard could be fireworks instead, and he was all " oh maybe but I already called the cops. Better safe than sorry."  In this area, two shootings a year would be a lot. The city I was born in, however, is a 30 minute drive from the campus and there's at least one shooting a week there.Oh yeah and I live so close to the police and fire stations that if someone tried to break in through my window, I could get out and run to the police station before they could get inside. I talked to some lady a couple months ago who actually believed there are gangs among the students living on campus. I tried explaining that anyone involved in a real gang wouldn't have time or interest in college and vice versa, but she wasn't having it. Too consumed by fear of young people and their violence gangs. timefly has a new favorite as of 20:21 on Jul 10, 2017 |

Parents who don't teach their kids indoor voices, most likely because they read some article about how ~you shouldn't stifle a child's desires and creativity~ so the kids are always SCREEEEEECHING!!!! You know the one I mean, it starts off kind of quiet and gets ear-piercingly loud. eeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I always think of Moe Szyslack, when he says "I'm not used to the laughter of children. It cuts through me like a dentist drill." Except for me it's like needles in my ears. gently caress parents who don't teach kids "indoor voice."

Oh man, I work in a hospital and there's a machine to pay for parking near my office, it has a plastic flap over where your change/receipt come out so the coins don't go flying. It's the national sport of children EVERYWHERE to constantly push the flap and have it fall down loudly. It drives all the staff insane but little Pnurtis is having so much fun that the parents can't hear it apparently. Semi-related obnoxious little thing, people telling their kid that the security guard is going to arrest them if they don't behave. PARENT YOUR GODDAMN KID DON'T TEACH YOUR KID TO BE SCARED OF ME BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE ARSED TO DISCIPLINE THEM

When Americans (usually fedora wearing neckbeard Americans) really pronounce the "r" in "arse", and insert the word into their regular vocabulary, replacing "rear end". I'm assuming they think they sound cool and worldly, but it just shows that they have no idea how people in other English speaking countries pronounce their words. For the record, I'm an American. We don't spell it that way, and no one but obnoxious Americans pronounce it that way.

Along that line, people that write/say "whilst." Yeah, I know it's technically correct at times, but gently caress if it's ever used outside of making some neckbeard sound smart when he's m'ladying some woman on OkCupid.

When people tell off children/pets for making noise/a disturbance and are actually straight up louder than them anyway, thus waking up people who weren't actually bothered by the original noise.

Nah "whilst" has its place but it's relatively archaic. It's not something you'd use every day and I've never heard anyone speak it who wasn't overdoing things. It falls in that category of e.g. "My sister came to see John and I" where people overcorrect because they don't understand what the words are doing.

There is a small development built around an artificial lake on the main road that heads to my rural home. People who live there will consistently turn off the highway then proceed to travel at 10-15 miles per hour for about half of a mile to a railroad crossing then slowing to 5 mph at the crossing just before their turn. They will stay at that speed until they turn on their signal mid turn. These aren't all elderly people who simply have slower reaction times. They're 30-50 year old average people. I don't know what to do to convince them to go faster on this wide rural road. I tailgate in an obnoxious way (since it is a 55 mph zone). I can't pass due to the traffic and a hill so I have to suffer for the 2 minutes it takes them to drive to the entrance. I end up angry enough to want to slam into their big "hemi-powered" pickup trucks in my pathetic car. I just end up driving at 80 mph for the 4 remaining miles to my house.

Publicly loudly complaining that gift shops don't have your precious unique child's name on products. You wanted an uncommon name. It's not going to be on stuff. That's how uncommon names work. I do have a bracelet engraver though. So I see some great ones. Like Imajyn. And today I had Jewelia. It's always prefaced with them looking at pre-made personalized items and whining that the name doesn't exist or that "Julia" is the wrong spelling. It's never 'different' spelling, or 'traditional' spelling, it's wrong. Like, give your kid a unique name, go ahead, whatever. But don't whine about the inevitable while shopping for cheap souvenirs for the rest of your life. Funny though, there seems to be a LOT of kids out there named Sissy now. I hear it at least once a week.
