I get irritated by the opposite. The people that think all animals will kill them. Be it fish, cat, dog, hamster, etc. My recently deceased dog was barky but friendly and never even snapped at a soul. Yet almost every repairman would prefer to listen to a dog bark for 2 hours locked up rather than let him say hello. I've never been bitten by a dog so maybe it's just a hangup that I don't have.

I don't know if all businesses do this but I am a field technician for an alarm company and have been for another alarm company and a cable company and all 3 have it as a rule that dogs have to be put up while you're there. Honestly I don't follow the rule often but if I ever got caught with a dog not put up or get bitten I would be disciplined and possibly fired.

Legit question: I always say I'm from the "Twin Cities". Does that scan outside the Northland?

I'm from Texas and while I have heard the term twin cities I honestly am not sure what that is. I would assume Minnesota on a guess.

I've heard of sales parties and my wife's even been to 1 or 2 but I've never heard them combined with baby showers or any other kind of party like that. I can honestly say if someone tricked me into going to a sales party like that I would not be their friend anymore.

My first name is really uncommon and i've never met anyone else with it, although I do know its a real name because people have had it in TV shows and stuff like that. I came here to talk about my last name, Hancock. Its really bad, when I was a kid it was mostly penis jokes, now I get alot of either "Footpenis" or that superhero movie with Will Smith. Old people will sometimes pop out and ask if i'm related to John Hancock though. I don't know if I am but I doubt it.

I do agree. I don't smoke but it seems like everyone turns into big babies every time they catch a whiff of smoke. It might have to do with my mom smoking in the house when I was growing up. I just don't see the big deal about smell cigarette smoke for a few seconds every now and then.

I've seen this one before, but it finally happened to me: when people assume that just because you have a functioning uterus, you will have/want to have kids.

I had never gotten this before, and finally did a couple weeks ago from my aunt, of all people. Said aunt is 1) about 60 years old, 2) childless, and 3) gay. She's about the last person on Earth who I'd have expected to give me the "Oh, you'll change your mind someday" speech.

For the record, I don't hate kids. I like them just fine. When they're not mine!

I've never understood this line of reasoning. I think it would be infinitely better for someone to not have kids and wish they had when their older than the alternative which is basically have kids and resent them because you might have change your mind.

I finally convinced my wife at the age of 31 with a 10 year old, an 8 year old, and a 5 year old that we shouldn't go to her mom's to spend the night and open presents. I've been saying for years we have to start our own traditions and we can visit but we shouldn't have every holiday sculpted after her parents specifically. I guess my pet peeve is my wife's over reliance on her mother and her opinion.

My upstairs neighbour orders a lot of take away. Which is fine, none of my business. However, the delivery person likes to drive around with insanely loud music. Mostly techno music. We are talking the kind of loud that makes his car vibrate here. Yo can hear him coming several blocks away. So in reality it's 30-45 minutes of insanely loud music with the added bonus of rattling car. You hear this noise machine arrive, then it is parked outside while he takes the food in, motor and music running of course, and then driving away again. Try this up to 12 times a week. ARGH!!!

Agreed. I feel bad asking that friend-of-a-friend to help me tap the keg or slice tomatoes, but what else can I do?

Fashionably late doesn't mean that it's cool, in and of itself, to be insultingly late to things. It shows that you have other things going on in your life, so maybe you show up a half hour late to that party because you had dinner plans, and maybe you leave after a couple hours because you have somewhere else that you have to make an appearance. It's never cool to be the first one to show up at a party and it's rarely cool to be the last one to leave. The whole concept is nuanced and interacts with shared social values and assumptions. So it's no shock that goons don't get it.

I say this as someone with multiple friends who are chronically, painfully, hours-and-hours late to almost everything. It's an arms race of internally-adjusted meeting times. If I say a dinner party starts at 7:00, Roger might show up at 10:30 and wonder why the food is all put away. If try to drag him back a little closer and say it starts at 6:00, he might show up at 10:15. To actually get him there on time, I would have to tell him 4:00am, to which he would (rightly) tell me to go gently caress myself.

edit:


That's fine, and not what we're talking about. I'm generally a punctual person and (contrary to what I said last paragraph) will usually tell people 7:00 if I want them there at 7:00. But if someone I don't know very well is the first person to show up, it's weird - especially if they're earlier than the stated time and just stand around watching you vacuum.

Being super cool and having such a cool life you show up late to everything doesn't work in the day and age where I can see you posting PettyMemes 20 minutes before you show up.

So I'm talking to someone.

And they don't hear me.

"Pardon?", they say.

So I now have three options.

1) Repeat it in exactly the same way - same volume, same tempo, same inflection. This will result in the cloth-eared fucker not hearing me again and I get to say the same thing over and over until I eventually can slide, blissfully, into the sweet embrace of death.

2) Repeat it slower and louder, so that I am sure they can hear it. This will result in the cloth-eared fucker assuming I'm angry and getting all defensive. Really, I just want to speak more than one sentence in my life, please be cool.

3) "Never mind". Never works. Cloth-eared fucker will now assume that what I just said was of world-shaking significance, and pursue it forever. I'll be on my deathbed and some hearing aid motherfucker will be shaking my withered frame all "NO BUT TELL ME! I WANT TO KNOW! JUST TELL ME WHAT IT WAS YOU SAID!" it was just a bad pun that doesn't bear repeating please leave me alooooooooooooooooooooooooooone.

So yeah, I'm gonna give up on talking to people I think. It's too much like hard work.

I started saying "oh I was just joking around" and it usually works.

my parents were hella in denial of the cigarette smell when I was growing up... honestly they still are. I know that smoking for 40 years fucks your senses but they just wouldn't believe us if we complained about it, like we were making it up. my younger brother and I got bullied in elementary and middle school for it.

whenever I visit them, I make sure to wear clothes I don't care about as much, but I get bad headaches and feel like poo poo while I'm there. and in public, smokers are more noticeable to me now that my sense of smell isn't wonky.

my dad quit a few years ago (I'm really proud of him!) but my mom refuses to. :smith:

I don't think it's denial, I think you literally can't smell it anymore after a while. I don't smoke but my mom did in the house all through childhood. I had a lot of teachers pull me aside and ask if I'm smoking. I never was and I couldn't smell it on myself either.
