what is even the point of calling something "lightly" soiled?
it's just soiled, that's the end of it

get yr feet off the fuckin seat ffs"my feet dont smell" is in the group of sentences with "my dog doesnt bite" "my child would never do that" "i dont need a shower" and "im only parking for a minute" that is the realm of utterly unsocialised savages and not an inch should be given to em

I have total respect for people who turn up at the local One Stop on a morning in slippers and pyjama bottoms. I'm a bit too prissy to do it myself, but it is commendable savagery imo.
― calzino, Thursday, 8 November 2018 09:18 (five years ago) link
Was surprised to see a mother and daughter in pyjamas when I went into the local Chinese to pick up some chips last week. Even more so when they left with their order and got into a car.
Also hate it when you're sitting in a bus seat and person behind you starts banging into the back of it, either emphatically or because they've turned around and are talking to their friends using the back of your seat as something to lean on. Also knees in your back or some idiot putting their legs up against the back of it. Would think it was understood that somebody else was sitting there so you didn't disturb them.Was also really bad back in college where people weren't watching where their feet were and start propping them against the bar your seat was above when you were trying to listen.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 8 November 2018 09:40 (five years ago) link
Also knees in your back
tbf this is more likely to be because bus seats are designed for Lilliputians than disgusting savagery of the person behind you

Did wonder if there was once a time when the rows were distanced enough that this didn't have an immediate effect on the people immediately behind. I don't remember always having my knees against the back of the row in front of you automatically.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 20 November 2018 13:39 (five years ago) link
Yeah they've reduced the distance a lot in recent years to fit more ppl in. There is actually a gadget you can buy which you attach to the back of the seat in front of you and which prevents the person sitting in it from reclining their seat.

I'm always curious about the guy who worked here seven years ago, whom I haven't spoken to since, who has never liked any of my photos, but watches every single last damn story I post. It's not that I'm sad he doesn't wike my wittle pretty pictures. I just don't get .... what he's getting out of this experience.

People who, the moment something goes out of print, try to sell that thing for 4000x what any reasonable person would ever pay, which immediately dicks up the second-hand market by leading everyone else with a spare copy of the thing to believe that they're also sitting on a goldmine.

I mean I know it's winter and all but if people could just refrain from hawking up vast globules of phlegm onto the pavement it'd be great, especially when I have to wheel a suitcase through it all. It's not that far to the gutter, hoik it out there.

Was dropping off a hire car today, there's a little feedback form where you give them a mark out of five and I overheard the following conversation with a customer who must have only given four:
Employee: Was everything ok for you?Customer: No it was fine, car was nothing special but ok.Employee: Did you have any problems?Customer: No, I just never give 100%. Employee: Is there anything we could have done better?Customer: Not really, unless you gave it me for free.Employee: How about we give you a 20% discount next time?
Fuck both of those fucking fuckers.

People who come into work when they're sick - like really sick, not just the sniffles or a red nose or whatever - are annoying BUT the real savages are the managers and bosses who
(a) don't immediately send their sick asses home
(b) cultivate, either consciously or unconsciously, an office environment where work and deadlines are more important than personal health
also most deadlines are bullshit

I had a boss once who would never give out 5's on the annual employee evaluation form because "nobody's perfect!"
It's a flawed system of ranking, sure, but once you get past that, treat it like ABCDF then.

our performance evaluation system is based on a scale of 1-3. my previous supervisors used to give everyone 2s. when i switched supervisors in the past 2 years i've been all 3s. i have not improved as a worker in any way. cool system.

People in supermarkets who take a packet of crisps or a sandwich or whatever from the shelves, eat it while they're going around the store and then present the empty wrapper to the cashier for scanning. Yuk.
I mean, this is just about permissible if you have a toddler in tow and you need to shut them up with a snack or something, although you really should be armed with snacks for them already. But otherwise, don't do it. I mean, I've even heard of people eating a banana in this way and giving the (price-tagged) peel to the cashier. Can't you wait?

Who doesn't just bring along snacks for their kids when they're going places with them? My EDC is a box of chocolate milk and some graham crackers.

well yes of course but sometimes you get stuck out longer than you anticipate and all your supply of snacks has been eaten/bribed with/dropped on the floor.I have not done this savage move btw! And the Tesco thing is great.

They sell bananas by the pound at my store, so presenting just the sticker would be a bold move.

Yes produce is generally by weight; also self-check thingies go exclusively by weight, and wouldn't recognize a half a box of graham crackers or whatever.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent twenty-one years as a risk taker before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical, and (mostly) practical problems with probability. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering.

I mean, at age 23 I'd have tried for the flâneur café-meditator bio but would never have thought to combine wanderlust with stated risk-taking
the platonic ideal bio for an edgy recent graduate is at most half as grandiose, he really went for it
