Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

People who feel so compelled to upload something owned by a large corporation on YouTube that they make it completely unlistenable and unwatchable by fucking with the audio, cropping it to 1/10th of its size, vignetting the edges into near darkness and adding a filter that makes it look like you're viewing it through a sheet of digital hessian.

Drivers waiting to turn onto a main road that you are cycling along who stop three feet over the stop line, and/or don't even wait till you've cycled past before they start pulling out.

people who can't figure out an ATM and then try and figure it out for 15 mins instead of just giving up and going the fuck inside

Old people who just board a random bus and then have a meltdown because it isn't going exactly where they want to go

Where has thread been all my life?

Anyway, woman with monster toes and a huge attention grabbing tattoo in gothic script (thankfully illegible) on her foot who insists on wearing flip flops in the office

ppl infected with laurel brain worms

re calstars: the more appalling the foot, the more it will be put on display

someone in my building was clattering up and down the stairs in flipflops yesterday. incredible racket. awful beast

In the UK? What a disgusting savage.

in an office building, in the uk, in may. it's so bad it's almost good

that type of savagery would seem ok in Cornwall, but sometimes I see people in the local Onestop in their slippers and trackie bottoms on a morning, and I think fuck it, live and let live!

ILX's sartorial sensitivity always gives me a little chuckle but in a "bless you all" way

i wd wear sandals all the time if i could get away with it

come to think of it i'd wear 'jamas all the time if i could get away with it

That I can understand.

tbc it was just the incredible noise of someone strenuously slapping up and down the stairs which was strikingly savage, and gave lie to the idea that their clothing choice was about being casual or comfortable or in any way lowkey

the savagery that amuses me more than annoys me are some of the local skinny young lads, whose emaciated frames suggest they've been troubled neither with vigourous gymnasium activity nor any hard labour yet, and probably not eaten many greens. And as soon as it goes anything above 17 degrees they go bare-chested and adopt this *pushing an invisible wheel barrow* type parody of a hardman walk in gangs of 3 or 4.

kinda not feeling today's turn towards the hatefulness of the bodies of women posing no harm, rudeness or inconvenience to anyone around them

That was kinda one post.

lol I read "skinny young lads" as "skinny young ladys" or something, prob cuz i was already ticked and really just scrolling to the bottom to gripe abt calstars's post

I'm not sure how often skinny young ladies go bare-chested on the streets of West Yorkshire, best ask calz.

fortunately it was unproblematically aimed at boys, phew!

c'mon it's not symmetrical, women's bodies are policed totally differently, "how dare you expose your toes, they displease me" would resonate very differently in the lived experience of most women than most men, etc.

actually saw a shirtless hero riding his shitty extra loud bike down the main drag last week, my favourite annoying sound of the summer

Set that bike on fire, make Boaby Gillespie smile.

people who walk to the counter of a fast food place and keep saying "excuse me" to the cashier as they're trying to talk to you to get your order

xp doc - the post was abt shirtless swagger. I don't think it's unreasonable to be sceptical when ppl's generalised concern outstrips their attention to specifics

People that mumble/read aloud their emails, sort of quietly to themselves but still audible to adjacent desks.

did i mention the fingernail clipper at his desk right behind my desk in this thread yet

also like who clips their nails daily (not a disg savage move but still)

My old boss would constantly clip his fingernails on calls, at one point he even took of his shoes and started clipping his toenails under his desk. How I did not quit on the spot remains a mystery.

did i mention the fingernail clipper at his desk right behind my desk in this thread yet

also like who clips their nails daily (not a disg savage move but still)

the day i do is the day i begin phase 2 of annoyance with nail clipping - murder

phase 1 of complaining on the internet and not saying anything has not yet worked

people who hear "yanny"

People who engage in any form of blue dress/gold dress online viral bullshit, I am (mostly) silently judging you and finding you infra digital.

Yeah, fuck people for engaging in anything, right?

That’s not what I said but go right ahead and misunderstand me, it will bring you some kind of temporary fulfilment.

suzy, I am not sure I agree that viral bandwagon stuff is harmful, but "infra digital" is a really deft coinage. You have my undying respect just for that.

Suzy otm, also see my post today on Ideas for ILX

I mean, if people want to post a list of acceptable viral topics for discussion and those that aren't, that'd be helpful. Or just continue silently judging people for daring to take a modicum of interest in something beneath you and reveal yourself to be an asshole. Whatever works.

That's more pissy that I wanted to be, but I sincerely don't understand people who can't just look at something online, think "boy this is dumb, I don't get it and can't for the life of me understand why people would bother" and simply move on. Instead they have to demonstrably proclaim their superiority by refusing to engage. It's dumb and I just don't get it.

argh, my wording got completely butchered in that post. "demonstrably proclaim their superiority for not engaging" is closer to what I meant.

i'm not too interested in the laurel/yanni phenomenon, but ppl loudly tut-tutting about how they're above it and everyone else is dumb are about as cool and likable as the "oooh sports ball" crowd.

This is the Disgusting Savages thread, where we have a safe space to post about occasional common irritants and things on the internet that mark out some of our fellow humans as basic bitches, so I’m sorry you feel impugned by my post (but I’m not gonna waste another second of my life on shit that gets shared by all the people we know on FB who use Minions as avatars for their emotions).

As we say over in Scarfolk, for more information please re-read.

And that post confirms my suspicion that you are an absolutely terrible human being and I feel worse of for engaging with you in the first place.

I mean, fucking come one. People that like stuff I don't are "basic bitches". Fuck outta here with that.

*worse off

*come on

Yeah I slipped when typing, guess I'm just a dumb fucking hillbilly with a Minion avatar? Right? Am I doing this correctly?

posted this on facebook. but anyone who makes one of these cover versions is on my savages hate list:

"I got aggravated watching The Leftovers when I heard that sad and pathetic cover of "You're The One That I Want". That guy who did the sad and pathetic cover of "Mad World" by Tears For Fears has a LOT to answer for. You can make any song with words sad and pathetic! The cheapest of tricks."

Today I stood for three minutes behind a man trying to use one of the devices pictured below by repeatedly shoving his credit card into the slot meant for paper money. After I told him he needed to use the other slot, he proceeded to continue doing it wrong for another two minutes but just putting his card in but not pulling it out to swipe.
