2 pieces of chicken is normal for a person to eat. One piece of cake is a normal dessert. One hamburger is a normal portion of hamburgers. Two hot dogs is one too many hot dogs

I'm a tiny skinny little runt and even I think 2 pieces of chicken is not a meal. One hamburger is not a meal. One hot dog is not a meal.

one piece of cake is a normal dessert though, if you need more than 1/5th of an entire cake as an extra to your meal then you are officially a greedy gently caress

When a customer walks up and talks at me when I'm in the middle of helping another customer. gently caress right off, I'm helping someone else, and you're being doubly rude by ignoring my current customer. Oh excuse me, patient, because this is medical so you're ALSO violating their privacy. Had an absolute bitch try to do this the other day where she cut in front of five others because it was "just a quick question" then tried to complain to the management. Jokes on her, my current patient was a home care nurse who read her the riot act. I can't wrap my head around entitled jerks. One of these days she's going to pull that stunt and someone in line on their last nerve will do a lot more than yell.

It really does feel like that's kind of a uniquely American thing. I've spent some time abroad in Canada and Europe and got the feeling that doing something like that would be unthinkable.

I think it arose from a combination of our society being so drat self-absorbed and businesses deciding that the way to get more customers in is to just give them whatever they want. Our customer service, like...everything is geared toward never doing anything at all that could irritate a customer in the slightest way. Meanwhile a number of companies just hand out coupons, free stuff, discounts, and whatever like candy for every single complaint, ever. So a society of self-centered people with poor morals have all been taught that if you complain long enough or loud enough you'll get both your own way and a free pie.

So of course you have people that lose their minds at the slightest provocation.

I worked with a guy who would tell stories only he didn't really speak as much as mumble and when you said "what?" because you couldn't understand anything he was saying he'd get really mad. After a while I learned everyone else just didn't listen to his stories.

Here's an obnoxious thing that I think makes me reasonably angry: men using public conveniences/shared facilities, pissing all over the toilet seat and leaving it for the next guy to deal with.

Is it difficult for some people to lift the seat before you go? Is it difficult for some people to wipe up after they're done? Because I've never had either problem that I can recall. Who do these people think they are?

My work has a big training facility we go to for residential courses. Last time I was there I went to use the toilet in the main building and someone had left a giant messy poo poo in it.

Not as bad as the guy who got drunk and poo poo on the floor in his room, though.

Men are pieces of poo poo and half the time it's laziness and the other half is intentional. I used to work construction and people would straight up sabatoge the port o potties by making GBS threads on the seat and smearing it around or burning holes in the bottom of the urinal so you piss on your feet.

My favorite bathroom rear end in a top hat is the guy that covers the seat in toilet paper because they are too germaphobic to sit on the seat, but then leaves the sat on toilet paper for the next guy to clean up.

I'm not sure that's a "men" thing but more of a "someone else will clean it up" thing. Case in point, the used tampon I once found in the gym showers. Like...you HAD to pull it out in the shower? The bathroom is RIGHT THERE.

The giant clots of hair are bad enough (like seriously, how is there any left on your head? Maybe brush it before showering so some of that excess goes into your hairbrush and not in the shower drain?)

Burning holes into a urinal I can't explain, though.

People who can't comprehend that I don't drink hot drinks. I used to just say "No, thank you" to offers of tea and coffee until I found that I'd inadvertantly offended someone because I always refused their offer and they thought it was something to do with them. So I say "No thanks, I don't drink hot drinks." Which is the cue for people to list every possible hot drink you can possible imagine, as if I've never heard of fruit tea, hot chocolate or Bovril.

Have a similar problem with cheese. Mention I don't like it and people launch into "But how do you eat pizza?" I don't. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Neither gender respects bathrooms or anybody else that had to use them. Humans in general are just loving gross.

Granted we also have a society that encourages men to be horrible jerks that make others miserable like that and laugh about it. I imagine construction workers feel the need to be macho and assert their dominance like that.

I was in our school's bathroom yesterday trying to pee. The Western-style toilet had piss all over the seat, one of them had a bloody footprint, and the third just had so many used tampons and pads piled in the toilet paper bucket that I couldn't bring myself to go in. Ended up going four floors down to find a clean one.

Poop gas is complicated stuff. I take evening courses which involve spending 3 hours in a room with only women. So you hold them in for 3 hours. The problem is that by the time it's done the clock is 9 in the evening and you have so much collected poop gas that dropping it outside would cause the sound to echo off the buildings in the quiet night and everyone for two blocks would hear it so now you have to save i until you get into the car instead.

True story, in college one of the guys on the same level of my dorm had decided that he hated fruits and vegetables and decided that, since he was no longer under his parent's watchful eyes, he was no longer going to eat them. About 3 months after the year started he went to the campus health center complaining about constant tiredness and bruising easily. They told him to go to a real doctor because they didn't know what the gently caress.

The idiot turned out to have scurvy.

:stonk: I'm sure I remember reading recently that you need so little vitamin c to avoid scurvy that having a couple of ketchup packets with your fries (or whatever crap the guy was eating) would be enough. What was he eating?
