corporate gaslighting is super common i guess, definitely had it happen to me countless times

I mean, I think that plays a factor but some people genuinely have no idea what they previously said and they think part of being a manager/leader is always being right. Which is genuinely the worse way to manage

I envy the socialization and community but I don't think I could ever fit in that scene, having had a glancing association

it's weird how I literally feel like I woke up one day and was like "wait how did I get lumped in with these people". I think it was easier when I didn't get subjected to their every thought on social media.
that and living with one too many who "couldn't pay rent" on time....

In my experience this is down to Spotify playlist generators doing it this way and me being too lazy to go back and change each entry.

there was a dude at the CoC show yesterday who clearly didn't seem to be enjoying proceedings, so he decided to leave. except he made it a point to shake his head in disapproval back and forth the entire time as he elbowed his way through about 100 people in the crowd. not once stopping his pronounced snoopshake as he walked the 100 feet out of the venue. so....that guy.

I see that "people walking three abreast" on a sidewalk was posted here almost a decade ago, but it is much worse in the hallways of a building, where you can't even step into the street to get out of the way. I'm not flattening myself against the wall for these disgusting savages anymore, just stopping in my tracks and seeing if they'll go so far as to run right into me.

when you have to go to a work meeting which is maybe 5 or 6 people around a 4-person table and all the dudes stretch their legs out or cross them all splayed out at weird angles so you cannot get anywhere near the goddamn table
you just have to perch some way away from the table with your legs tucked under the chair and your notepad on your knee, and everyone looks at you like you're a weirdo for not being near the table, but they still don't move their legs

Also, I am likely to make many enemies, but people who cannot last the 90-120 minutes of a film without scarfing down a massive pile of popcorn, soda, ice cream, whatever. Sometimes I wonder if the appeal of the movies is sanctioned bingeing on junk food. Watch the movie. Eat good food, somewhere else.Maybe one for the IA thread.
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Thursday, 1 March 2018 23:28 (six years ago) link
it's been mentioned here before (or in IA) but cannot be said enough. I went to see Annihilation at the mall here, it has long stretches of suspense-building (relative) silence and for the whole fucking movie it sounded like a pack of rats was playing in a pile autumn leaves in the row behind me. And chewing, lady. The sound of your mouth, the whole time. Seriously you can't not eat for 90 minutes?

Guy in check out line; one box of clif bars to purchase and not only does he stare at his phone and fail to put his items down for awhile, he finally puts the clif box down and doesn't turn it so the box takes up the majority of the line. Phones are the worst for bringing out people's inherent mediocrity

I think if you go to a multiplex to see a movie and expect nobody to be eating or drinking, you're doomed to be disappointed and should wait to see the movie at home.
The worst disgusting savages I have encountered at the movies were at a festival screening of "into great silence", a documentary about monks which is almost entirely silent. A lot of people got bored and left, making no effort to open or close the theatre door quietly. So the entire screening was punctuated by repeated "KA-CHUNK... SLAM"s.
― Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 2 March 2018 04:24 (six years ago) link
I'm fine with people having a snack, just not a seven course buffet of the most elaborately and noisily packaged food ever. And really, if you can't go 90 minutes without eating, you either have a metabolic / hormonal disorder and my sympathy, or need to take a good look at yourself.
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Friday, 2 March 2018 04:30 (six years ago) link
Don't mind me, just taking 30 seconds to figure out how to open this snack in the middle of Solaris.
― jmm, Friday, 2 March 2018 04:44 (six years ago) link
Yes the worst is when people bring their own packaged snacks in crinkly wrappers and instead of just opening them quickly and making a racket for one second, they attempt to do it quietly and wind up making a racket for one minute.
