People who walk on the left hand side of the sidewalk

calstars, Thursday, 2 August 2018 23:53 (five years ago) link

In the U.S., yes. Mightn't it more or press parallel the driving convention elsewhere?

devil's avocado (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 3 August 2018 00:11 (five years ago) link

It might.

calstars, Friday, 3 August 2018 00:38 (five years ago) link

It does. We walk on the left here, well I mean people walk like idiots wherever they want with their faces glued to their phones actually, but you know.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 3 August 2018 07:14 (five years ago) link

I pay attention to walking conventions and then willfully ignore them whenever I actually have somewhere to be that isn't behind some trundling doofus on a sidewalk

Savagery question:

When I'm buying meat at the butcher, my butcher always touches the bacon/chicken/raw meat with his bare hands, then gives me my change without washing his hands, so I'm stuck with a bunch of raw bacon cash.

Is this:

a. Savage
b. I should get over myself
c. I should get over myself, and in fact it's not a health hazard at all

Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 3 August 2018 13:58 (five years ago) link

accept your meaty reality, but pay on card

ogmor, Friday, 3 August 2018 14:00 (five years ago) link

My answer is A

calstars, Friday, 3 August 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link

Gross, he needs disposable gloves

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 3 August 2018 14:21 (five years ago) link

thats gross but not as actually alarming as handling cash and THEN handling the meat. But it sounds like he is savage as hell and needs correction.

Hunt3r, Friday, 3 August 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link

B. Everything you touch or ingest is covered with gross things you don't happen to know about.

The only reason you're bothered by bacon cash is that you know about it. It's possible that the cash you get in change from your local coffee shop was covered in something worse.

The world is filthy and that's why you have an immune system. And your immune system craves exercise to stay healthy.

most money has feces or cocaine residue on it, i heard way back

eris (Ross), Friday, 3 August 2018 15:44 (five years ago) link

Dose makes the poison in many ways, tho i am generally of the “something’s poop...it’s almost everywhere” belief. That does not mean you handle money and put it in your mouth or pick your nose, or handle food afterwards without washing.

yw but man i ain't a expert i just surf a lot. and lecture my kids about handwashing.

Don’t wanna be a mr. bungle. Good parenting

Ross, Friday, 3 August 2018 16:19 (five years ago) link

i'm actually going to school rn and my intention is to become an inspector (possibly restaurant though not sure what else i'll become interested in once i get into the specific program more). And i'm coming from having worked in kitchens for a long time. That sounds really **cked-up to me. I had a friend who used to surreptitiously post these types of egregious infractions on her social media page but she stopped doing that and i'm not sure if direct confrontation or calling the cdc or something is better. but imo there are SO many different things that can happen, most obvious being the potential harm to anyone that may be at-risk (the old, very young, pregnant, whatnot)

lâche pas la patate (outdoor_miner), Friday, 3 August 2018 16:20 (five years ago) link

oh, aforementioned friend would take pics or viddys and post on her fb to warn her friends, that wasn't v clear in previous post

lâche pas la patate (outdoor_miner), Friday, 3 August 2018 16:21 (five years ago) link

i mean it sounds like this person is cross-contaminating *everything* and with things like this in the news (https://www.sciencealert.com/superbugs-becoming-more-resistant-to-hospital-alcohol-disinfectant-sanitiser)
why would one mess with epidemiology

People making the searches which mean that Google offers to autocomplete a search for ANY well known name with "net worth". The fuck is wrong with people.

this dude bought me breakfast the other day, then spotted money at my place and said he was gonna take it for the breakfast he bought me. you cannot steal a gift man, never hang out with that sucker again

Ross, Friday, 10 August 2018 22:40 (five years ago) link

People who write the address on a parcel at the post office counter. My god.

kraudive, Friday, 17 August 2018 15:24 (five years ago) link

related - post office counter staff who insist on slowly typing the full address into their computer without asking if I want proof of postage, even after I question whether they actually need to do that (they do not need to do that, unless I want proof of postage, which I do not because it's completely useless)

Colonel Poo, Friday, 17 August 2018 15:27 (five years ago) link

xp

otm

Even worse are the ones that also try to do all of their packing at the counter.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 17 August 2018 15:37 (five years ago) link

Do we have a thread on this man

one month passes...

people who listen to music or anything else off their phones in public without fucking earbuds. good fucking christ please bring back the boombox. I don't want to listen to squealing trebly high pitched shit whining out of your phone.

akm, Saturday, 13 October 2018 22:06 (five years ago) link

I'm not a big fan of the modern era's answer to the boombox either tbf. chunky bluetooth speakers clipped on the strap of a messenger bag are obnoxious. only acceptable if you're on an actual bike, in the bike lane, wearing a helmet that would preclude decent headphones.

El Tomboto, Saturday, 13 October 2018 22:20 (five years ago) link

Im like pretty snarly about jib kids and parkers with loud (but not bad) bluetooth speaks in their packs while riding, skiing, or even biking. It’s just noise pollution even if i like some of it.

Hunt3r, Sunday, 14 October 2018 03:25 (five years ago) link

Other people’s music : bad

It used to be schoolkids and recalcitrant teenagers who did this but now, and for some time, in my experience, it's almost entirely people old enough to know better - aged anywhere from 30 to 80

I wouldn't mind if they were playing Fushitsusha or something

GG Allin: The Musical (Matt #2), Sunday, 14 October 2018 08:41 (five years ago) link

But wouldn't that sound naff if it was totally tinny.

Stevolende, Sunday, 14 October 2018 11:38 (five years ago) link

What's the excuse for people who pronounce "turmeric" like "tumour-ic" or, worse, like it rhymes with "numeric"? (I heard both this week.)

ppl who correct (or even take much notice of) common mispronunciations

Dmac TT (darraghmac), Saturday, 20 October 2018 22:06 (five years ago) link

like “mispronOunciations”

calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 20 October 2018 22:13 (five years ago) link

people who object to (or even take much notice of) minor foibles

People who don't express gratitude when you hold a door open for them

something that has happened to me several times recently when holding a door for someone coming up behind me is that, instead of reaching out and taking the weight of the door from me as expected, they have passed through leaving me still holding the door. wtf.

visiting, Saturday, 20 October 2018 22:47 (five years ago) link

I had a couple of times in China where that happened, then they were followed by a stream of other people, making it impossible for me to let go of the door without swinging it in someone's face. So I stood there, an unpaid doorman to the city, silently, impotently, fuming.

ppl who start lining up ten minutes before the plane starts to board

k3vin k., Tuesday, 30 October 2018 10:49 (five years ago) link

I do that, it's much easier to sort out your hand luggage and stuff with fewer people on the plane and besides where else are you going to go? Not much point in sitting down waiting for the line to get longer before you join it.

the word dog doesn't bark (anagram), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 10:56 (five years ago) link

Only ten minutes?

Alma Kirby (Tom D.), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 10:58 (five years ago) link

savages.

absolute savages.

I've only ever flown in a helicopter. Interestingly there was no queue and we had to be politely prompted to get aboard after we'd kissed terra firma and done the sign of the cross.

calzino, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 11:09 (five years ago) link

Zippers breaking off your favourite coat or rucksack. Zips are savages.

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 11:13 (five years ago) link

The real airplane etiquette savages are the people who stand up and start getting their hand luggage down the second the plane comes to a standstill, the doors are not opening for a good ten minutes, their luggage will not arrive for another half an hour, but for some reason they have to stand there blocking the aisle. I know some people are travelling light or transferring but I'm sure the majority of these people have no good reason to do this.
