People out boating that play their music loud enough to be heard half a mile away. I know sound carries well over water, but when you pull into the gas dock and everyone else there is asking, "Hey can you turn that down?" and you reply "What?" because you are half def; yeah, turn that poo poo down.

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

When people list their side gig at their home address on Google Maps.

Do you have a storefront there? A receptionist? At least a drat sign that can be seen from the road? No? Then all you're doing is cluttering up the drat map.

Being a bore or nag is the greatest sin of human communication

If you're speaking for a noticeable length of time (for any reason), you have to be interesting or entertaining. If you slip up or forget then immediately pass to another person to prevent further damage. If you're monologuing then this is relaxed but the fundamental rule remains: it is NEVER ok to be boring

Wearing athletic shorts when it's below freezing

See, that's one of the good things about Canada.

Nobody bats a loving eye if you are out in the snow in shorts. They are comfy and easy to wear. And enhanced range of motion!

You might get an occasional "aren't you cold?" But I'm good to about -5c without full pants, and then it's an excuse to show off my luxurious pelt on my legs that protects me.

Europeans think you look like a slob, and in Asia, you look like an insane person.

Walked in the snow in Beijing way back and everyone was pointing and exclaiming things about the crazy laowai.

Hey you people are the ones wearing winter jackets when it's 25c and complaining about how cold it is.

Let's not point fingers.

I have learned the art of "well, I love you all, but I'm bored with this. peace out guys, talk soon."

It's totally okay to be straight up. Don't need to make up an excuse. Just "I'm done now. Great to see you all.

Unfortunately, still have to code switch with most boomers or it's very un :decorum:.

Also on that same note, just taking situation control. It really bothers me for emerg poo poo when people are like "someone do something!" You loving do something. Get on the loving phone at least.

"I'm attending, you are assisting me, I'll tell you what to do, and you other person are comms. That means 911 on speakerphone now, come here and stay close." Just loving take charge and delegate until someone better can get there. EMS can not materialize out of thin air instantly. Freaking out or standing around taking video on your phone is not helpful.

Surprising how well just ordering people around works in stressful situations.

I've got similar poo poo going on at work.

We're new to properly responding to server downtime and are implementing response procedures and part of it is doing exactly that - roping whoever is available in and assigning them a role.

And oh my God they're all so shy about doing it. 'what if we ask and they say no?? What if x person is offline who should we ask instead?!?!'

What is this asking business? Downtime is everyone's problem. You TELL them. It's their job too

I have had to spell out in fine detail for these people so many things that ought to be common sense, such as, 'communicate with your coworkers', and they're like, 'b-b-but how do we know what to say!!' and it's pathetic
