Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

they should really throw "jet" in there

people on Twitter whose argumentative retorts include mentioning how few followers their adversary has in comparison to their own follower count. i've never had this happen to me b/c i don't actually argue with people on Twitter but whenever I encounter it I just can't believe a grown person would actually pull the "you're not even popular, especially not compared to me!" card.

(this post was prompted by observing this behavior from Jonah Goldberg, who is, as always, the worst).

People who walk on the left hand side of the sidewalk

In the U.S., yes. Mightn't it more or press parallel the driving convention elsewhere?

It might.

It does. We walk on the left here, well I mean people walk like idiots wherever they want with their faces glued to their phones actually, but you know.

I pay attention to walking conventions and then willfully ignore them whenever I actually have somewhere to be that isn't behind some trundling doofus on a sidewalk

Savagery question:

When I'm buying meat at the butcher, my butcher always touches the bacon/chicken/raw meat with his bare hands, then gives me my change without washing his hands, so I'm stuck with a bunch of raw bacon cash.

Is this:

a. Savage
b. I should get over myself
c. I should get over myself, and in fact it's not a health hazard at all

accept your meaty reality, but pay on card

My answer is A

Gross, he needs disposable gloves

thats gross but not as actually alarming as handling cash and THEN handling the meat. But it sounds like he is savage as hell and needs correction.

B. Everything you touch or ingest is covered with gross things you don't happen to know about.

The only reason you're bothered by bacon cash is that you know about it. It's possible that the cash you get in change from your local coffee shop was covered in something worse.

The world is filthy and that's why you have an immune system. And your immune system craves exercise to stay healthy.

most money has feces or cocaine residue on it, i heard way back

Dose makes the poison in many ways, tho i am generally of the “something’s poop...it’s almost everywhere” belief. That does not mean you handle money and put it in your mouth or pick your nose, or handle food afterwards without washing.

thanks Hunt3r

yw but man i ain't a expert i just surf a lot. and lecture my kids about handwashing.

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

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.

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.
