Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

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

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)

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

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.

better than 'feet' (marginally)

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

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

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)

xp

otm

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

Do we have a thread on this man

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

'Vegan Rob' isn't helping.

lol he also sells "Brussel Sprout" chips

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

like “mispronOunciations”

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.

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.

lol

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

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.

Only ten minutes?

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.

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

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.

travelling with hand luggage only is pretty much the norm in european flights now, 'small' wheelie suitcases can go in the overhead lockers but they fill up quickly so if you don't want your luggage in a locker at the other end of the plane from your seat, joining the queue early is unfortunately a necessity. standing in the aisle less defensible.

Claustrophobia? I went through a phase of GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE and planes were very triggering while it lasted.

The other day that happened on a flight I was on but the plane hadn't reached its parking spot yet, it had just stopped for some reason. A few savages stood up and had to be told to sit down again lol. xps

China Eastern Airlines are the most disgusting savages, I took my family on a daytime flight from Shanghai to London, like 9am to 2pm, the plan being to have one very long day, stay awake, then go to bed in England at 9pm and break the jetlag. But one hour after we took off we had to close all the blinds and go to sleep until an hour before arrival, we couldn't watch as we flew over the himalayas and kids sleeping patterns were fucked up for a week. Honestly still angry about this nearly three years later.

talking of which...

Lifelong exclusion from society for behaving like a disgusting savage? Bring it on!

people who get coffee grounds all over the sink/work surfaces/washing-up sponge in the office kitchen

seriously how are there so many coffee grounds all over every available surface

I guess it is like how there is dried mud on the office floor, because I cut across a couple of metres of grass verge on my way to work and didn't realise I'd picked up any mud, and then when I saw it on the floor I made a half-hearted attempt to shift it and then went "eh, the cleaners will vacuum at some point this week, probably" because I too am a disgusting savage. yeah I guess it's pretty like that, now I think about it. but still, coffee grounds, eh

(brr @ that vid)

People who enter your building walking about half a step behind you and then edge around you and speed up like they're on the way to the most important thing ever, then you meet them in the elevator lobby and share an elevator. Like, hope it was worth all that agitation, you savage!

Lifelong exclusion from society for behaving like a disgusting savage? Bring it on!

more like lifelong exclusion from credit for ~reasons~, which tbf is a good reason to eliminate _all_ credit imo. none of you deserve it. all good.

Buskers on rush-hour tube trains

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

surely it's the people who leap out of their seats the moment the plane LANDS and then stand around elbowing you in the ear for the next 15 minutes before they're allowed to disembark

Not a new one but: people who talk on the phone in public (in some situation that isn't walking down the street or walking briskly through a supermarket, confirming a list of items to purchase).

1. The guy on a crowded, packed like sardines metro train the other day who was talking on the phone with earbuds in and the phone in his pocket or something. Because it was so crowded it was like he was talking right into the side of my head. I wanted to grind his skull under the wheels of the train then send it to his mother in a ziploc bag.

2. The guy who came into my local yesterday, sat next to me at the bar, ordered a beer and a sandwich, then promptly called someone and engaged in a long conversation where he did nearly all of the talking. He drank his entire beer and ate his entire sandwich, it was a pretty long conversation and I was getting a bit fed up. So I got up and sat at the other end of the bar. I looked over at him a few times and he was still talking.

Who are these people who feel the need, whenever they're alone, stationary, and in public, to call some colleague or friend? And who are the people who are content to sit there going "oh, mhm, yap, yes, uh huh, oh I see" to someone who's basically doing all the talking (with an annoying amount of background noise). If someone called me like that I'd be like "Sorry, why are we talking about this, can it wait?"

Right there with you Fields

Sort of related:

My stepfather has been making a long commute to his new job while he and my mom try to sell the house.

I asked mom if she followed him on the FindMyFriends app, and she says, Oh better than that! I call him as soon as he gets in the truck and stay on with him until he's home!

My poor, poor stepfather. I'm sure there a lot of "oh, mhm, yap, yes, uh huh, oh I see"'s during those 90 minutes.
