When a person calls your name from a different room, then when you answer "Yes?" they don't say anything. Even if you want me to come over there, would it kill you to just say "Come here"? gently caress.

Rolo posted:Quote isn't edit. I would share a screenshot of his poo poo but I can't black-out people's names at the moment. My Facebook post: "I turn on the Mets game. Five seconds later, deGrom gives up a two-run homer that brings the game from 2-1 Mets to 2-3 Nats. gently caress this. I turn on the Marlins game. Less than one second later, Adam Conley hits Gregory Polanco with a pitch to load the bases, then gives up a triple, bringing the score to 8-0 Pirates. I'm a jinx." Response #1: "Yay sportsball?" Response #2: "Put the ball in the place and get larger numbers of things!" Why do people think this is so clever? I know if I said some poo poo like "Yay video games, put a pixel through another pixel and win points!" they'd have something to say about it.

Jerry Cotton posted:The only thing more banal to post "I'm a jinx" was the thesis statement, though I can understand your point. I'm also a weirdo who likes seeing what other people had for lunch..  That said, unfollowing is the best innovation Facebook has ever rolled out. The "yay sportsball" guy posts approximately 1,000,000,000 pictures of his infant daughter per day and I unfollowed him, so the least he could do is return the favor.

Setting: a bar, hanging out with friends. Friend: Hey, we're going to head to Bar #2 now, are you in? Me: Sure, sounds good!  [10 minutes later] Me: So are we going to Bar #2 yet? Friend: We're going in like 2 minutes, just rallying the troops. [15 minutes and one more drink later] Me: I think I'm gonna head home... Friend: Oh come on, you're not coming to Bar #2 with us? We're leaving super soon! Me: Eh, fine, I'll finish my drink and come with you guys. Friend: Yay! [5 minutes later, drink is finished] Friend: Alright, are you coming with us? Me: Are you leaving right now? Friend: Yes! Me: Okay, then I'm leaving too. Friend: Good. [5 minutes later] Friend: *is embroiled in conversation with someone* Me: *goes home without friend noticing*

Fruit Soup Riot posted:If you choose to take a phone call while standing at the entrance to a subway station then I should be allowed to push you down the stairs. I actually saw a woman trying to walk her completely stationary toddler up the stairs WHILE trying to make a phone call, at 9am on a weekday. They should both be exiled. Anyway, it irks the poo poo out of me when people use "over/under" incorrectly, and I bet it irks the poo poo out of those people when I answer questions like "What's the over/under on the coffee being burnt today?" with "Three".

People posting "dear self" stories in the "Dear internet I have a feeling" thread in e/n, especially when it's really just humblebragging ("dear self, you got that cute girl's number and you called her and she liked you and we're going on a date in 20 minutes -- don't gently caress this up!  " ugh).People trying way too hard to be funny in the forum quote thread, while not actually posting quotes. People who, instead of washing their hands after using the bathroom, run their hands under the water for half a second and don't even bother drying them before wetting up the doorknob with their germy slimy hand.

Doc Morbid posted:Since I posted the most recent one of those -- "dear self" posts, that is, not humblebrag bullshit -- a couple of weeks ago... uh, sorry about that. I just needed to vent a bit at the time (and tell myself not to jump to negative conclusions, hence "dear self") and I thought that's what the thread was for. No need to apologize to me. It's entirely possible that the "dear self"-ers have completely taken over and repurposed the thread by now, but I dearly miss its "bitch about situations in your life without doing anything about them" origins.

Maybe this is a better post for the unpopular opinions thread, but I think it would be totally okay if catcallers were murdered brutally.

ghost emoji posted:Yeah complaining about catcalling is definitely not a humble brag in my experience. I've been catcalled more often when I'm dressed frumpy than when I actually dress up. We know it's not a compliment. I once got catcalled three times on the same block while wearing my great-grandfather's hand-me-downs. Serves me right for doing laundry or something I guess.

Mu Zeta posted:They are in the pet peeve thread, not this one, which is basically the same thread. Leavemywife posted:I think of the pet peeve thread as reasonable things and this thread for the poo poo that you know shouldn't bother you, but makes you froth at the mouth anyways. I think of this thread as more specifically interpersonal grievances, and the pet peeves one more as just stuff that happens that annoys you.

People who wait until they've wedged themselves into the turnstile to START looking for their Metrocard. What is wrong with these assholes? Generally speaking, I take my Metrocard out before I even go into the subway station, but if I don't and I suddenly realize that I haven't done so, I move over to the side to look for it. I don't know why there is such a huge segment of the population that doesn't grasp the concept of not blocking people's way. Speaking of commuters, some guy called me a bitch because I had the nerve to say excuse me and walk past him on an escalator without even touching him (with myself OR my bag). How dare I.

Grown rear end people who post on social media in that weird "doggo" vernacular ("doing me a concern", "heckin", etc.) should be banned. edit: You Are A Elf posted:Also, I never hear a "My mother was an [OCCUPATION] for thirty years" excuse. C'mon, change it up once in a while. I want hear what your mother did and how she instilled that knowledge into you sometimes When someone compliments my vocabulary, I tell them that my mother was an English teacher.

queserasera posted:People putting nasty poo poo on desks and tables in public places. I'm really sure the next person who uses the picnic table or phone desk will appreciate your stinky bare feet or baby's used diaper. I keep a wet-nap foil pack in my wallet for this sort of thing and I hate that I have to do it but you nasty rear end motherfuckers leave me no choice. I saw a person sit a diapered toddler on the counter at the Starbucks near my job, and I was seemingly the only person on line who was appropriately horrified. I could barely conceal my  face.

Aesop Poprock posted:This might sound goony but babies and little kids are loving disgusting and it's not cute if they're naked or pooping themselves and I feel like it has to be a survival mechanism for parents to believe it is and constantly talk about it Honestly I wish this were a more socially acceptable opinion to have. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels like this.

People who can't put their phone in their pocket for one god damned second when they're walking down a busy sidewalk -- or worse, walking up/down stairs -- need to be dropkicked in the back of the head. There are going to be entire generations of people who think this is okay behavior, and I am not ready.

Along those lines, when someone texts you "Hey what's up?" then you text back within about a minute or so "Not much, what's up with you?" and then their next response is 18+ hours later and/or about some completely different subject out of nowhere.

Sometimes I'll be walking down the sidewalk and I see someone ahead of me that's stopped, doing something or other, and they don't move until moving would put them directly in my way. What the gently caress is up with that?

Aesop Poprock posted:I work with clients in my job and I hate when people feel the need to give an example word with every letter of their name, like "Marianne. M as in Michael A as in apple R as in etc etc" I speak the same drat language as you! You're only making it way more confusing for me by introducing totally unnecessary words! Sometimes I don't even remember what their name is by the end of it especially with last names When I worked at a call center, I had a customer start spelling their name (Mary) with "M as in empire" and it was kind of a mindfuck.
