I think jaywalking is fine but if you have to run to get across safely or if traffic has to slow down to let you cross then you're doing it wrong. veni veni veni posted:This is less of a little thing and more of a child services thing, but people who jaywalk on busy roads with like 45 mph speed limits with a small child and they are pulling them by the arm so the kid runs faster, holy poo poo I wish I could say I have only seen this happen a few times. I've seen people jaywalking through traffic while they were pushing babies in strollers.

Anyone who inserts the phrase "Everyone's entitled to an opinion" into a discussion, especially a politician in a televised interview or debate. It's a truism, it goes without saying. It literally goes without saying, there's genuinely no point in saying those words out loud and it adds absolutely nothing to any discussion. All it does is waste time and deflect discussion away from the opinion which was just expressed which I guess is the actual reason that certain politicians seems to say it so often.

Bogan King posted:If you said Punch Drunk Love maybe you'd have a point but Happy Gilmore is just Sandler stuff that hadn't been run into the ground yet. Which is basically a nostalgia thing. There was a point in Sandlers career where he realised that his backers would just hand him $80 million to make a movie and his audience would flock to cinemas to watch it regardless of what was on screen so he simply stopped making an effort and basically had working holidays with his buddies where they hosed around making a lovely film for a few weeks and walked away with millions of dollars in their pockets at the end. People do have a lot of nostalgia over his earlier films but there's also a massive amount of difference in the quality between, say, The Wedding Singer and Jack and Jill. That pretty much came to an end when audiences decided they had enough of his poo poo and Jack and Jill and That's My Boy bombed. He tried to go back to the source with Blended (tiny budget, even got Barrymore back) but that didn't work either. He then tried to redefine himself as a wacky action hero in Pixels but that also didn't take so at that point he struck up a deal with Netflix (where ratings don't matter) and has been making films for them ever since. Edit: I don't even like Sandler, how the gently caress do I know so much about his career Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 02:08 on May 4, 2017 |

OLTTPDTMYUA: People who leave all their poo poo lying around in the hallway or somewhere where everyone else has to step over it or go the long way around, and every time you step over it they apologise. Don't loving keep saying sorry, if you were actually genuinely penitent you would have moved your poo poo the first time you realised it was inconveniencing others.

Cinema food is still super super cheap and is packaged in the cheapest possible wrapping possible in order to minimize overheads. The concessions stand represents a huge chunk of their profit margin, these days their business model is pretty much using the movies as a lure to get hungry people into the venue.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Never touch another person's office chair even if they aren't there, it's not hard people. In one of my previous office jobs they didn't have enough desks for everyone and since I was the last guy hired I was designated hotdesker. Every morning I had to find out who had called in sick and use their desk for the day and since my back isn't in great I usually had to adjust their seat and I quite often had to adjust the height of the desk as well. (The desks were adjustable so people had set them to all sorts of different heights.) I'm pretty sure everyone hated my guts because of that but it's not like I had a choice, if I tried sitting in an incorrectly adjusted chair for 8 hours I'd be hosed. This went on for months and months. It wasn't a small office either, it was a huge building with at least 200 people on that floor alone but for some reason they couldn't organise one more desk and computer for the new guy.

yeah I eat rear end posted:It's understandable that you had to do that, but you could have at least tried to put the chair/desk back the way you found it before you left. There's no way I would have been able to get it back in the exact right position, I figured that leaving it where they clearly had to spend a minute or two re-adjusting it to their exact preference was better than leaving it where it as almost right but might take them a day or two of mild discomfort to realise it was off.

I'm arguing with him because he's the only one brave enough to admit it, the ones who do it here remain anonymous. It's not like I wasn't re-adjusting them because I didn't give a poo poo, I was aware it was annoying for everyone else and I would have returned the chairs to their original condition if I could but that's not actually possible. Management were fully aware there was an ongoing issue, at one point they asked me if it was possible for me to sit at other people's desks and not adjust their chairs and when I said "No, that will gently caress up my back" their reaction was

Tiggum posted:I don't even know what this means. What sort of chair is this? Some chairs have a function where you can lock the recline function so they don't lean back too far. If you regularly sit in a chair that doesn't recline and then someone switches it to "will recline to almost flat" without telling you then you can potentially catapult yourself onto the floor if you throw yourself into it too roughly.

I had a job doing office work for a tradesman, start time was 8:30am and he expected me to be sitting at my desk ready to answer the phone at 8:30am even though there was a bunch of things that needed to be done before I was ready to start fielding calls from customers. I was expected to come in early and take care of all that other stuff (which was all business related) before I was on the clock. But he was a selfish rear end in a top hat who generally treated his staff like poo poo and could never be wrong about anything and genuinely thought everyone was out to get him and cost him money so that was no surprise. Edit: if I ever came in early or stayed late to finish stuff up and put that on my timesheet he'd quietly delete that extra time behind my back and not tell me.

People who step off an escalator and then stand there blocking it are worse because you don't get the option to stand there and wait or ask them to move, the escalator is shoving you into them and there's probably a line of people behind you getting shoved into you so you can't even back up
