Probably could have skipped "in a stoned haze" in that sentence, as it's implicit.

Don't think "savages" is accurate but I'm astounded there is an audience for Last Tango In Halifax that has kept it going for years. There's so much apparently mainstream entertainment that feels like a particularly tough arthouse endurance test.

Once read a bookseller complaining about the condition he finds books in. Like books with their hardback covers broken in pieces, books that look like they've been purposefully tortured. When I buy discs I tend to buy new copies unless they're too expensive or unavailable, but sometimes I get a "very good" condition disc that looks like it's been used as a food dish or the greasiest children on earth have handled it carelessly hundreds of times.
Once bought a second hand Dreamcast that was covered in food stains and had an Iron Maiden CD left inside that looked unplayable because of the scratches it had.

In the balcony for last night's Sunday in the Park with George ($59), some geezer in the next section chose the climactic Act I duet "We Do Not Belong Together" as his cue to *yell* at the woman behind him "YOU KEEP HITTING THE BACK OF MY CHAIR!" I need to be declared king of something so I can command private performances of everything.
Also some woman behind me was doing the wrestling-with-a-plastic-snack-bag thing for much of Act II. Wish I had my Luger.

People who use a car horn as a way to indicate to their children where they're parked. Ends up giving pedestrians a shock, can't they just use text or call out?
― Unchanging Window (Ross), Saturday, 3 June 2017 00:45 (seven years ago) link
Anybody who uses a horn for anything other than the following purposes:1. An actual emergency, serious for real life and limb shit2. Forcing an ignorant driver to realize they are not alone (i.e. "Stop backing up" or "It's green now")3. Some kind of collective car horn choir performance like sometimes happens in tunnels when people are feeling silly4. Being childish (or being an actual child) during a test drive around the parking lot while car shopping
And #2 is just barely permissible imo; city life has finally made me realize it's common practice, but discretion must be exercised.

2. Forcing an ignorant driver to realize they are not alone (i.e. "Stop backing up" or "It's green now")
"stop backing up because I'm behind you and you're getting p. close now" = yes"it's been green for a few seconds (perhaps you have not noticed a filter light)" = eh maybe a tiny tap on the horn"it's been green for 0.0001s and I am a massive boy-racer dick" = fuck yooooou

Wish cars had a smaller, friendlier sounding sort of bicycle horn option meaning the above things, e.g. hey I'm over here, the light has changed etc.
Some people are supersensitive and reactive abt horn honking, personally I'm grateful for this kinds of heads-up but have been flipped off for trying to give it to others

In my driver's manual, there was some suggested rule about honking your horn before passing another driver, to alert them that you were about to overtake them.
Which, in theory, may sound like a good idea, but ...
― pplains, Saturday, 3 June 2017 18:59 (seven years ago) link
No, that's not a good idea anywhere, unless a meteor or a volcano has blacked out the sun, every lightbulb in the world has been destroyed and they can't make any more, and the car you are driving that needs to pass the other car is an ambulance.

the my brother my brother & me podcast proposed a three horn system
regular hey dipshit horn for get out of the way, watch where you're goin
neutral/special occasion horn for non-traffic related things, celebrating sports team wins etc
great job horn for dope traffic maneuvers, narrow-misses, perfectly executed parallel parking & ppl driving the same car as you
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 June 2017 20:12 (seven years ago) link

as long as this one is silent I'm on board
hate it when some shitty football team wins a shitty football match and then for the rest of the day you have to hear that stupid honking pattern over and over again, it is suddenly ok for drunks to wander round the streets from 4pm until 4am bellowing incomprehensibly at strangers, etc
I hate fun but also hearing any sound not entirely of my own choosing, except maybe birdsong, but only after I've got out of bed in the morning
― a passing spacecadet, Saturday, 3 June 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link
There is this—I hesitate to call it a group of people—it's more of a mentality, I can't pin it down.
Someone is exiting a shop, house, or other structure just as I'm walking past. They see me, bustle hard to get in front of me on the sidewalk, then slow the fuck down immediately and sort of waver across the sidewalk like a drunk.. I'm a fast and purposeful walker and this makes me deeply annoyed. Why can't you possibly just perceive the rate at which I'm walking and decide to hang the fuck back for one second in the doorway? Do you:
A) Have some inbuilt shitbag mentality where "getting ahead" literally means "getting ahead"B) Have some sort of cognitive deficiency as far as perceiving the velocity and trajectory of objects in motionC) Struggle to not be a parasite.
