Nothing as drastic as in this thread, but I knew a few people who refuse to grow up. A buddy I met in uni and was super close with for a while just kind of put the autopilot on and never left...he's approaching his thirties now and still taking part time courses, smoking tons of weed and can't hold down a job for more than a few months at a stretch. His family life is kind of weird, but he's the oldest dude in the house but he never does anything to fix it. His dad is kind of estranged I think, but he just kind of shrugs at the work that has to be done around the house. My brother is sort of the same, but more defeatist. He is convinced he will never get his GED because "school's not for everyone" so he works at a factory which thankfully is unionized so he makes a living wage. No ambition to do anything. My mother in law got a substantial inheritance, ended up buying her eldest daughter (his wife) a house so they wouldn't have to live in an apartment anymore. Dude just sits around playing vidya and complaining about stuff. I went over there to pick up their crab apples and make cider and he's like "what am I supposed to do? Dogs gonna get sick eatin all these crabapples!" It was like under an hour of work to pick up the windfall and then pick the tree clean. Same with the garage. It got infested with mice and he's like "what do I do? Guess it's just gonna have to be that way". It's infuriating watching people just refuse to grow up and do some work.

She moved all the way cross-country after this guy, and keeps stalking him and trying to impress him, getting between him and his girlfriend so they'll break up and she'll have a shot, all the while denying that that's what she's doing. To be clear, she didn't move there for him. She moved there because she was sick of being a high-priced lawyer. Because moving there for him, well, that'd be strange...

Imagine if you will, that your doctor told you that you had a horrible auto-immune disorder in your gastro-intestinal tract. Every day, for the rest of your life you'll have to apply 10 minute treatments twice daily. You'll also have to make regular bi-annual visits to specialists for treatment, and there will also be unscheduled visits for surgeries and complications. Even if you're successful in these tasks there's still no guarantee that you'll stay healthy. It's an onerous burden throughout one's lifetime if you add it all up, yet most people manage to brush and floss their drat teeth without giving it a second thought.

Sorry, it was supposed to say "brother in law". It's really not my place to try and rouse a sense of ambition in him and I'm sure as gently caress not taking the lead on projects. I've offered to help with stuff repeatedly but he's either too proud or too lazy to accept. He doesn't want to spend the time to fix anything or learn anything, even though he knows what to do and how to do it.

I went to a very liberal college. I'm pretty far left myself but I have some friends who are the embodiment of millennial stereotypes and cannot get their poo poo together - getting fired from jobs every few months and complaining it's an ADA violation for their boss to not constantly excuse their lateness because they have ADHD, getting an "emotional support" vest and online cert for their lovely untrained dogs to fly free on planes for their "depression and anxiety" they have no formal diagnosis for and no interest in seeking actual treatment for, setting up obnoxious GoFundMe pleas to help them afford to move to a city they can't afford with no suitable job lined up because "it's their dream" and/or pay for legitimate bills because they blow all their income on festivals and if even the slightest unplanned expense comes up are completely ruined budget wise (I don't mean people who are employed and paid a non-living wage who need help for insane unexpected medical bills, I mean people making a decent salary but blowing thousands of dollars on festival travel and outfits and live paycheck to paycheck for no reason other than "festival life"), et cetera entitled (I haaaaaate using that word) poo poo.

I think it is important to recognize that a lot of stereotypes are rooted (usually) in a few real people, who do need to be set straight or else their behavior unfairly casts a bad light on anyone else who so much as associates w/ them

I’m glad airlines are starting to crack down on “emotional support” animals. I have zero issue with actual trained animals for people with disabilities. But as far as I can tell, the vast majority of emotional support dogs are literally just regular pets with no training. Flights are already stressful enough, no one needs some dog that keeps barking and making GBS threads everywhere.

When I was working in China, several of my Chinese co-workers would get seriously upset or angry if you as much as insinuated that something they did was not absolutely perfect. For example, a grown woman, asked med for feedback on a report she was writing. I told her remove some superfluous paragraphs and to expand on 2-3 points. After that she refused to speak to me for the remainder of my time with the company. Late I found out through some other colleague that I had insulted her hard work by not saying it was perfect. Another thing were people obviously lying to you, and then getting angry at you for calling them out, that one happened often. Does that count?

My uncle is an unemployed ex-meth head with an undiagnosed (that I know of) but unmistakable personality disorder/mental illness that causes him to lapse into extreme paranoid thinking (or outright delusions) when stressed and gives him a sort of super power for deflecting blame. If the dog runs off, suddenly he's convinced he's seen a malevolent dog catcher stalking the neighborhood. If the neighbor complains about him blocking the driveway, he'll conjure up a decades-long and heavily embellished list of grievances to explain what it's really about. No problem is simple or staight forward. There are no accidents. Everything bad in his life someone's fault and it's always someone else. He's never been able to stay in school or hold a job for any length of time (his brief employers always revealed themselves to be frauds or liars who weren't "really" looking for good workers). He's lived at my grandparents house his whole life and felt perfectly entitled to leave the place a constant mess, fill the driveway and yard with trash and dead cars from his never-ending "mechanic" jobs, and invite over an endless stream of snaggle-toothed, prematurely-aged "friends" who wound up infesting the place as thoroughly as the rats he also couldn't get rid of. It got so bad that my enabling grandmother -- who has her own issues with personal responsibility -- basically abandoned her own house instead of trying to deal with it anymore. Of course, now my uncle's heart is destroyed from all the meth and there's no telling how long he has (we get an emergency room scare about once a month, usually because he ate something he shouldn't have) and it's really sad because he'd just been starting to mellow out and seemed to be staying clean so things were more hopeful for him than they'd been in a long time (maybe in his whole adult life) and now the horrible mistakes he made when he was younger look like they're going to rob him of any sort of second chance at genuine independence.

I know someone who received a $1,000,000 trust when they turned 18 due to their parents dying when they were young. A loving million dollars. I sat down with this person and explained how to smartly invest and use this money to do whatever they wanted for the rest of their life. Here were three important points: 1)DO NOT immediately go buy a super expensive car. 2)DO NOT immediately go buy a super expensive house. 3)DO NOT start "loaning" money to "friends" for their "businesses." Inside of a day bought a $50,000 sports car, which she owned for less than 24 hours before destroying it drag racing it at the local raceway. Yes, she took a brand new car, straight off the lot, and went and drag-raced it. No big deal that one was destroyed, she went the next day and bought another. $100,000 isn't any significant fraction of $1,000,000, after all! Inside of a week she bought a $500,000 house and invited TWENTY loving 18-20 year-old "friends" to come live with her rent free "as long as you help out around the place." I went over there once, just once, about a week later. The house was an almost unbelievable wreck. They had used a sledgehammer to beat a loving 60+" hole through the kitchen wall so they could see the TV in the living room from the kitchen table. This was one of FIVE holes that had been beaten through walls with sledgehammers so people could see into other rooms. Imagine 20 people living in a house and no one ever cleaning up, ever. I only saw it at the one week mark and I wiped my feet on the grass when I left before getting into my car. Eventually the house was condemned and part of it collapsed. She "loaned" her "friends" $200,000+ to start multiple "businesses" repairing cars, selling poo poo, restaurants, etc. Guess how profitable the businesses were? She's now 30-something years old, penniless, and works random waitress jobs while living in a run-down apartment in the ghetto. Weirdly enough, none of the "friends" she squandered her money on are around to give her a free house or gigantic "loans!"
