I'm on a 6 hour train ride and the kid in the seat across the aisle has given up on his earbuds and decided to watch his iPad full volume. I don't know what he's watching but it sounds like an unscripted clip show of children yelling overlaid with bad sound effects.

I don't understand parents who just let their kids watch/listen to stuff in public with no earbuds. Like, am I an old fart for thinking this is rude as hell?

As long as you do no block the sidewalk, your car can overhang the parking apron into the street for 5 feet (about the equivalent width of a car parked along the curb face) Even though it is legal, I hate it. There is always some jerk who will either block the sidewalk or have 10 ft. of car in the road. But the payoff is that a few times a year said jerk gets their car wrecked in a late night hit and run.

Can the "tell me you're ____ without telling me you're ____" meme just die already? It's already barely a joke when you fill the blank with one or two words but so many people forget it's even supposed to be funny and make it into a big cumbersome run-on sentence.

The elevators in the building that my doctor's office is in are so loving fast that they give me motion sickness  I just got back from there and hate having to stand in the lobby for a few seconds, waiting for the rest of my body to catch up with me after plunging down 10 stories in a disturbingly short period of time

Dogue Monke Catte Snek I don't get it. I know these are "cute" ways of spelling these words, but I don't get what the point is. I don't get why a picture of a chimp results in sixty people responding with "monke." It annoys me, though. Kind of irrationally; I guess I'm annoyed because I don't get it, but I also don't want to get it. Ugh I'm turning into my father.

It's getting warm, and the weather is nice, so the neighbour's kids have started their favourite activity: screaming, just screaming, for hours on end, while outside. It gets a lot better once the summer vacation rolls around, because then a lot of them will be away on vacations and such. But god is it just so annoying how the neighbourhood is quiet and nice... with the exception of this one family+friends specifically. Windows closed, noise cancelling headset on, and they're still loud enough that I can hear them unless I'm playing some music/game/video etc.

You could have my neighbors. They rolled out of bed at 7am today and fired up a chainsaw. Next weekend the onus of being loud as gently caress will fall to the next one on the roster my neighborhood undoubtedly keeps because silence is undesirable apparently

But I imagine monke and catte and whatever are homophones. FFT posted:I know people that say "lmao" out loud I sometimes say "l'mow" and "lol" because that's what I hear when I see it. I don't actually think anyone is indicating they're laughing out loud or even rolling around on the floor, even hyperbolically. Also: I thought doge was specifically that weird Japanese dog that for some goddamn reason the entire world has been obsessed with for a decade. I don't think a doge is just any dog. Or uhhh an Italian governor? I can't even remember what a doge does. Silver Falcon posted:It's no different from calling a cat a kitty, or a dog a doggy or "pooch."

the original first "doge" meme was a golden retriever. and it's canonically pronounced "dog-ee" i.e. it is a misspelling of "doggie". (i usually say "dohj" because i like to imagine that the dog is ruling over Renaissance-era Venice) also shiba inu memes used to be called "shiba confessions" before they got completely dominated by one particular shiba inu image.

I mean it's called "dohj-coin", right? I've never heard it pronounced otherwise. Anyway, interesting about the golden retriever thing and the shibu. I've seen these everywhere but I sure wasn't a part of it when it was a new thing.

I hate how "smart" Google search has become. Like I appreciate that you don't have to know the exact thing you're searching for like the bygone days of... pre-Google search engines (anyone remember that? Wild times.) but god-loving-drat IT Google if I search for a town in X State, I do not want results for a town of the same name in Y State. THE STATE NAME IS loving IMPORTANT, YOU GODDAMN STUPID SEARCH ENGINE. Did I stutter?! NO.

Related to that, when searching (be it Google or the Windows search bar) wants to "autofill" the word/words I am looking for, but because I'm sort of running on muscle memory/fingers working ahead of brain, I'll type in the first three or four letters, and then I'll see the search bar CORRECTLY identify want I want...until I type the next letter, then it assumes the first choice it presented can't POSSIBLY be it anymore, and it sometimes isn't ANYWHERE in the suggestions until I start typing MORE to rule the other crap out.

You're typing, and a dialogue box pops up but you hit space (because you're typing) and it's gone again, too quick to even see what it was you just said yes or no to.

I'm just so sick of little things like that. I'm tired of things you set resetting themselves for no reason. Like my computer that keeps defaulting to speakers that haven't been connected in years, instead of just my headphones which I use every day. And I also love when something just doesn't work, so you try restarting it/unplugging it plugging it back in, but that doesn't fix it. So you try everything else. What eventually fixes it? Restarting it/unplugging it and plugging it back in--the SECOND time. Not the first, that didn't, uh, that wasn't good enough, you didn't put English on it
