I was only working as a cashier for about a month when the drat pandemic started. I was still trying to learn all the drat produce codes at a produce-focused grocery store while also trying to wipe down everything between customers AND bagging all the poo poo myself. I happily quit a few months later. (Looking back that wasn't the smartest move, but I am way less stressed.)

I remember a quote from Barack Obama of all people, about how at first he was offended that then-President Dubya used hand sanitizer after shaking his hand for the first time, but later, he realized why the gently caress the hand-shaker-in-chief was constantly using hand sanitizer.

Wouldn't the cashier bagging everything lead to more spread rather than less since he's handling it a lot more

We had some water coming in through a crack in a basement wall--nothing catastrophic, but it needed to be fixed. My husband and I discussed whether we felt safe having someone in the house to repair it and decided that it would be okay since they'd be apart from us in the basement and (presumably) masked, as people who conceivably visit many different houses over the course of a day. The owner of the company came by to give us a quote, and he was masked, and so were we. But today the worker came by with no mask. The guy read the room enough to stay in the foyer when he was done, and my (masked) husband gave him his payment at arm's length. My son was a floor away and I was behind a door, so I think we were relatively safe...but how the hell do you make house calls without a mask?  Then we got curbside pickup from a chain restaurant for dinner. The parking lot was jam-packed with people dining in. They even have a giveaway going on now: chance to win a free burger with every dine-in meal. It's called "Burgers for the Brave," and I loving resent the implication.

Me and all my roomies have contracted and survived rona. We masked up before opening the door. It was really hard to not rush him, beat him to death, and stuff him into the attic for the next generation. But hey, the A/C works again. One roomie literally works as an A/C maintenance guy but we don't talk about that, he couldn't be allowed

Restaurants, I still cannot fathom how people are just so carefree about it right now. Depending on the route, I drive by one or more restaurants, both chain and non-chain, on the way home from work, and the parking lots are always either packed or near-packed, one of them has cars overflowing on the grass 2/3 of the time. Humans really are too stupid to live.

Boomer phone etiquette. My mom this morning gave me five missed calls, two "hey edgar it's mom call me" voicemails, and then finally a text stating the thing she needed to say. And no, it's not at all a loving emergency, it's mundane bullshit. Just loving text the thing. If it's really important or you can't text about it for whatever reason loving text "oh gently caress poo poo X call me asap" or whatever.

Comedy replies to serious questions in forums and groups. If you are all in a group about growing heritage tomatoes, and someone posts a picture of their plants asking to help identify why an issue is happening, replying with. "Solar flares 😆" or "5G 🤪". Is the opposite of helpful. Either give genuine assistance or shut the gently caress up. You are not funny.

There was another one i went to in the early aughts that, like SA, did have rules like "don't be a jackass" and "at least put a modicum of effort into a reply" and it was mostly ok. But there were still joke answers like that, everyone thinking they're the cleverest son-of-a-bitch for repeating the same tired "joke", and even beyond that, too many people stuck up their own rear end with the "smartest person in the room" mentality.

When you're trying to do poo poo in an app, but it stops responding for a few seconds because it's loading up the "HEY DO YOU WANNA RATE THIS APP?!" pop-up. Shut the gently caress up, Dropbox, I'm just trying to look at a file real quick.

At some point, more and more programs have started refusing to run their installers if there's a system restart 'pending'. It's incredibly loving annoying to say, update Maya and have it go 'lol no gently caress you, there's a restart pending.' because windows has an update queued to install the next time the system restarts. Yeah sure, force me to save + close everything I have open, run the loving windows update and -then- your goddamn installer. I think Visual studio did the same last time I installed it as well. A program not wanting to install if windows has a shutdown queued within the next couple of minutes I can understand, refusing to do so because there's yet another system update queued I don't.

Honestly, just gently caress every program ever that tries to do anything outside of the specific thing you bought/downloaded it for, because they'll always try to shove it down your throat. It's not that long ago that I double clicked on dropbox on my pc, expecting it to open the dropbox folder as usual, and instead it opened a new loving 'dropbox explorer' app out of the blue.

It was a couple minutes' extra walking but it was worth it for peaceful, social-anxiety-free dumps.

i also dont like people getting into the kitchen with me while im cooking. when i visit my mother the kitchen is a narrow hallway type deal and when im making something she likes to get in there and clean stuff while im busy or has to look around for some weird reason. my wife also likes to hang around with me and my dog likes to sort of dart around my feet. i constantly feel like im going to bump into one of them and drop a big panful of hot spaghetti water or whatever, im working so please leave me alone to focus on a single task

Agreed, I don't mind if we're both working on the meal, but if my wife just has her rear end against the silverware drawer and then moves out of the way when I ask and now she's in front of the oven so I'm like oh I need to get back there and oh ok now you're in front of the fridge I was just about to grab some butter, really it's like standing in the middle of a solo ballet you don't want to be there

im pretty sure with me this is just some add thing because i can accomplish some tasks like im "neo" in the matrix when im just focused exclusively on them but interrupt me or offer me "advice" and you interrupt whatever idiot brainwave lets me achieve that state of mind and i become a flailing idiot add is so difficult to explain to people who dont seem to have it. i can solve a problem easily if i can form a general "image" of it and execute a plan based on that image if left to my own devices, but i absolutely cannot follow on the spot instructions or do things that require a lot of different simultaneous criteria, especially if they're very unclear. its very easy if i just have to write a text, or summarize something, or connect a few ideas in an original way, but it makes it almost impossible to do very specific practical tasks

The ability of some people to stand in front of the exact drawer you need in the kitchen at all times is eerie. It's like a super specific, super worthless sixth sense. It has nothing to do with whether or not they're your wife or whatever, it's just a superpower some people have.
