Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

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.

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.

people who get into a revolving door behind you and speed it up

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

this p much describes me, 6 months out of the year, and i love it and i only recently was made aware that many consider it disgusting and/or savage.

ok I fully agree with suzy in this regard:

This is the Disgusting Savages thread, where we have a safe space to post about occasional common irritants

...while noting that its mission statement overlaps somewhat with the various "Irrationally Angry" threads and with "Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you."

Sandals are not the same thing as flip-flops.

oh ok. i wear flip-flops

this shit on other people's typos

*worse off

at least i don't need to switch to another tab, i'm in the exaaaaact right thread jfc

lol wtf @ jon via chi for loudly judging people who are silently judging, jesus fucking christ, why don't you get over yourself yourself

^^ says the guy judging someone for loudly judging silent judgers, what is this a christopher nolan movie

IS THIS DUNKIRK I AS KYOU

people wearing flipflops in a library need harsh guidance (out of the library).

lorols at all this

I still wanna hear sad and slow covers of "Cars" and "I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper", but unless you are like Nick Drake or maybe Low/RHP level magicians of sadness & slowness I don't want just some plodding acoustic bullshit, I want like dubby filtering and skittering delays and stuff going on too, feel the epic frozen emptiness of space (or Gary Numan's head)

just a note to humanity there

everybody who isn't Liz Harris step away from the guitar basically

At first I heard "Laurel" but now all I can hear in my head is the disgusting savage sound of flip flops.

what in the hell is happening itt today

ohh I forgot about Liz Harris but yes, that would be p. much perfect

If a poster uses this thread to ~get personal~ about another poster’s citation of disgusting savagery, eg. calling another poster an asshole, particularly when the citation is calling out an annoying trend and not an individual, that poster ought to craft a single response I can’t clown for any reason. At any rate, I don’t think half a dozen angry-boy tantrum posts directed at me should go unremarked or uncorrected, because anyone would want a right of reply in that situation.

Here endeth the lesson.

My yoga teacher loves herself a mopey acoustic cover of famous pop songs. There was one time when the music she played in class was 100% this, it was hell. Luckily she's dialed it back somewhat. But seriously why are there sad acoustic versions of songs like Billie Jean, Let's Dance, or One Way Or Another?
