Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

I'm fine with people having a snack, just not a seven course buffet of the most elaborately and noisily packaged food ever. And really, if you can't go 90 minutes without eating, you either have a metabolic / hormonal disorder and my sympathy, or need to take a good look at yourself.

Don't mind me, just taking 30 seconds to figure out how to open this snack in the middle of Solaris.

Yes the worst is when people bring their own packaged snacks in crinkly wrappers and instead of just opening them quickly and making a racket for one second, they attempt to do it quietly and wind up making a racket for one minute.

I'd moderate my stance but this is the thread for intolerance

otm

also this week I saw PHANTOM THREAD in a cinema with a group of middlebrow retirees who just go to the movies on a Tuesday night and see whatever - had no specific interest in the film so they just tittered when people got annoyed with each other or exercised power. By the 75th "ERP! UH-OH!" from two rows back I was ready to snatch the scissors from the screen and drive them through somebody's temple.

I'm with team no food. The only movies I see in theaters anymore are kids movies, where I have very low expectations for decorum.

The guy next to me at Phantom Thread kept doing this triumphant fist pump motion every time a character got dunked on. This was in between checking his phone every three minutes.

The lady behind me had to crack a joke at the final line of the movie.

I'd been really careful to find a spot away from any popcorn eaters too.

I would really not expect an in-movie phone checker to fist pump at Phantom Thread, but it's giving me faith that there are still more types of people in the world I haven't yet encountered

The idea

I'm just gonna say it

The idea that there is space between ugh middlebrow and "they spoiled my cinematic viewing of ddl acting at a cloth" is boggling my tits

people who claim a table at a bar, put all their stuff down, and spend the rest of the time either being outside smoking or standing in the corner, not utilizing the table.

last night we just commandeered their table anyway

xp tbf I just assumed they were people who were more into the comedy aspect of the film than I was, and steeled myself to tolerate, but as they got up to leave in second 1 of the credits and loudly said well that was weird, see you next week Keith, I was helpless to prevent the judgement curdling in my mind

Fair, fair it's not the thread for #calloutculture

people who claim a table at a bar, put all their stuff down, and spend the rest of the time either being outside smoking or standing in the corner, not utilizing the table.

this + people who grab tables before they order their food at restaurants where you order at the counter

That's just good planning tbh

yeah i don't have a huge prob with that

That means we get to skip the queue and all, sweet

Should have kept my mouth shut

Sweet if you're the people, infuriating otherwise.

table-grab with line is cool if you're carrying a bunch of shit, and lame if tables are running out and you're just trying to cheat the people who are line in front of you out of tables they thought they'd have.

And while youre checking out the menu, ill be over here, stealing your stuff /jack handwy

Lads if ye want a table near a table you can't have it both ways ffs

Grab a table

Jeez my typing

My co worker. She has a broken three hole puncher and she refuses to get a replacement because she likes to slam the sucker down like a hammer. Co workers find it annoying but they're too afraid to approach her cuz she's very mean and angry

I remember this being a huge issue at "America's best pizza" Great Lakes in Chicago. Owners kicked anyone out who grabbed table before ordering. I think it's a bit gauche to do, but people who do it aren't consciously trying to be savages.

My gripe is with people who set up shop for hours in a busy cafe (not just a coffee shop, where this is more part of the culture) or whatever. Finish their meal and then monopolize the table, reading or working on a laptop while people have to hunt and wait for an open table to eat. I've seen someone literally set up shop recently, spreading out their business receipts and notebooks all over a common-area table during peak lunch rush hour.

Right up there with the people who take two kerbside parking spaces because they can't be arsed judging the distance to the next vehicle. The other weekend I pulled in behind another driver into two consecutive spaces - and then she just stopped half way along the gap and got out. She knew I was there, just dgaf. I'm hoping the look I gave her left a permanent lesion on her retina.

You non-savages must love Nando’s. You walk in, the host gives you a table number, you go to the counter and order, then you find your assigned table and sit. Problems solved!

That's a great system; its one flaw is that you end up eating food from Nando's. (I spent a week on tour with a band in England and that was all they ate. It was fine on Day 1, but by Day 6 I was having nightmares about sweating pure chicken grease.)

people who are printing shit the same time is you and narcissisticly think everything at the printer is theirs, not bothering to check, and grab your shit with theirs. so yay I have to print everything again!

worse even is when someone does this crap at like a FedEx Office. I stopped at one to print a concert ticket once and went to the printer and there was nothing there. went back to the computer station annoyed that I"d have to print again and saw that the idiot at the machine next to mine had grabbed everything off the printer, saw my ticket, and instead of putting it back on the printer, just left it at his station for no good reason.

fuck skin. i hike over a fucking mountain in blazing sun, no sunburn. i ride a bike in the rain, sunburn. skin can get fucked.

Members of my household who take from the communal bowl of Pistachios, then put the empty shells back in the bowl. The garbage can is 3 feet away. wtf

Bearded persons who allow the moustache to overgrow the mouth, and are thereby apparently content to dunk their facial hair into everything they eat and drink.

saw a beardy kinda dude with growth that wasn't quite a full beard but longer than 5oclock shadow, but it was completely covering his cheeks almost up to his eyes and it looked so horrible

it just looked like a horrible untended garden or something

People who feel so compelled to upload something owned by a large corporation on YouTube that they make it completely unlistenable and unwatchable by fucking with the audio, cropping it to 1/10th of its size, vignetting the edges into near darkness and adding a filter that makes it look like you're viewing it through a sheet of digital hessian.

Drivers waiting to turn onto a main road that you are cycling along who stop three feet over the stop line, and/or don't even wait till you've cycled past before they start pulling out.

people who can't figure out an ATM and then try and figure it out for 15 mins instead of just giving up and going the fuck inside

Old people who just board a random bus and then have a meltdown because it isn't going exactly where they want to go

Where has thread been all my life?

Anyway, woman with monster toes and a huge attention grabbing tattoo in gothic script (thankfully illegible) on her foot who insists on wearing flip flops in the office

ppl infected with laurel brain worms

re calstars: the more appalling the foot, the more it will be put on display

someone in my building was clattering up and down the stairs in flipflops yesterday. incredible racket. awful beast

In the UK? What a disgusting savage.

in an office building, in the uk, in may. it's so bad it's almost good

that type of savagery would seem ok in Cornwall, but sometimes I see people in the local Onestop in their slippers and trackie bottoms on a morning, and I think fuck it, live and let live!

ILX's sartorial sensitivity always gives me a little chuckle but in a "bless you all" way

i wd wear sandals all the time if i could get away with it

come to think of it i'd wear 'jamas all the time if i could get away with it
