I take umbrage to this one. It's just faster and better than "walkie talkies".

But you can also just say "hey grab the comms eh?" if you want to be minimal lame level.

Or be a full grown up and just say "grab the radios please".

Hubs/hubby rankles me and I don’t know why. If you’re using that word you are too young to be married

Also, Rae Dunn anything, even the Halloween items which is disheartening but true.

Men who insist on not moving out of the way when walking in front of me, going the opposite direction. Men never move, but most women will.

So, I’ve adopted this habit of…not moving out of the way. For the elderly, disabled, kids, parents, ok of course, I gotcha. But men who expect the world to simply ~part open~ for them?

I am a fat lady who has clearly given up, move.

So to be clear, your pet peeve is other people not moving out of the way for you, because you yourself don't want to move out of the way for other people?

Yeah…but aren’t you doing the same thing to them ? I’m just trying to figure out the logistics of how what you are doing is any different.

I dunno. Can only speak for myself, but as a dude I’ve had the opposite experience where I usually seem to be the one stepping out of the way, but I’ve never thought about it much, because it’s not even an inconvenience to move to the side for a second.

I think everyone just kind of feels like everyone else is in their way regardless of gender tbh. The only truly universal experience is old people at the supermarket blocking everyone.

The trick about the getting around oblivious people of either sex is just don't make eye contact.

You are just a train on a line, and you aren't watching. It's not a challenge thing.

People will generally move. Don't be mean to children, and don't pick fights with dangerous looking people. But hell, if Karen gets a nudge, what that the gently caress is she going to do? Just ignore the sputtering. Maybe she learns, and will act different next time. Maybe not.

The only true solution to a neutral situation like that is to flip a coin. Heads, you move out of the way, tails, you clothesline them and spike a football into the ground.

My head is spinning. Did the other men exclude me from this conspiracy? Or have I been an unknowing participant all along? Have I been going about my life rudely blocking untold numbers of large, given-up women with my careless gait, and not even realized it? Is oppression so deeply woven into my DNA that I subconsciously move directly into the path of women and then anchor myself like a sumo wrestler on the ring's edge? Or is my aggressive saunter simply a product of my swarthy Italian heritage?

Nah neutral solution is to walk backwards, then you can plow into as many people as you want all on equal terms!

Can't speak for them but I will loving stand my ground on assholes who walk side by side or three across blocking the whole walkway and don't move to their side.

Don't give a gently caress. Unless it's a kid who doesn't know better. I'm not moving or twisting my body to get out of the way or accommodate that rudeness.

I'm always walking and weaving the gently caress thru ppl coming from any direction at all times like a bird artfully threading a needle through a rich fabric of motherfuckers who will NOT be occupying that space before i do sometimes it means getting my strafe on but its nbd really

If there are three dudes waking side by side there is a 80% chance they are drunk so anything is fair game in that situation.

I walk quite a bit and very non-scientifically I'd say during the day and most week-nights seems bout even on gender who will give way. Thursday-Saturday night, yeah packs of drunk dudes don't generally yield, and possibly just want to avoid in generally.

Like there's lot's of exceptions, and location obviously matters. And I would put clusters of whoever in business suits where ever encountered in same category as young drunk males on weekend nights.

Burn business suits and whoever chooses to remain within em I say.

You just take turns running into each other, then change partners.

We do it until somebody calls the cops. If the cops join, fee goes up to $20. No weapons!

It’s Swedish, and I feel breast warts are so…lifeless? It’s what Elon Musk has. He has breast warts, where most have nipples.

I honestly can't tell if you're complaining about the American or British pronunciation. Both pronounce the R only once, though in different ways. Can you describe your grievance with IPA?
