Im both a door close button pusher and a door holder, tho i think im reasonable on durations. I can imagine being annoyed (and wrong) at the latter. I dont even get the former.

If it's a car phone mount, this halfway makes the most sense (I don't regularly drive, it never occurred to me). I couldn't decide if it was better or worse than taking a selfie in a bathroom. (I also don't ever take selfies of myself alone, so even though it's totally commonplace it's something I don't think I will ever understand).

Have we done ‘people who use their speakerphone in public’?
I think it’s got worse since FaceTime appeared and Apple makes it hard to do FaceTime audio only or switch to audio only if you get a video call.

People who post on politics threads and still can’t internalize the 27% rule
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 27 April 2019 23:35 (five years ago) link
people who make a coffee appointment with you weeks early, then you get into work early on the day so you can make the time to meet them, then they cancel an hour before. then they move it to a week later, you get in early again, they cancel it again. this happens to me at least 90% of the time, and i am on the precipice of never accepting an advance coffee invitation ever again.

That they should die young of unnatural causes?
"27% rule" refers to The Crazification Factor, first laid out in 2005 as follows:
John: Hey, Bush is now at 37% approval. I feel much less like Kevin McCarthy screaming in traffic. But I wonder what his base is --Tyrone: 27%.John: ... you said that immmediately, and with some authority.Tyrone: Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.John: Objectively crazy or crazy vis-a-vis my own inertial reference frame for rational behaviour? I mean, are you creating the Theory of Special Crazification or General Crazification?Tyrone: Hadn't thought about it. Let's split the difference. Half just have worldviews which lead them to disagree with what you consider rationality even though they arrive at their positions through rational means, and the other half are the core of the Crazification -- either genuinely crazy; or so woefully misinformed about how the world works, the bases for their decision making is so flawed they may as well be crazy.John: You realize this leads to there being over 30 million crazy people in the US?Tyrone: Does that seem wrong?
Tyrone: 27%.

I agree with all that, but still say that some complete racists walking into the booth and seeing the names ALAN KEYES and BARACK OBAMA would've voted for Alan Keyes, even if he'd been a Democrat.
Both candidates might have been black, but one candidate was blacker – in this case, the one with the white mother.
