Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

C/D: holding a phone in front of your face as if it were a slice of pizza

If you are using headphones then you are probably not doing the pizza thing

As I have crappy hearing and iphone's audio is (imo) crappy: headphones all the way

I'm adding my neighbor to savages list

on her front porch at 8.30am having a speakerphone conversation that was so loud I could hear both sides of the convo inside my house with the windows closed.

and it wasn't even an argument! just chatting with someone about meeting them for coffee ffs

and I bet she was holding her phone like a slice of pizza

Hawaiian pizza, even

since i got a new protective case for my phone i have to do the pizza thing as the case seemingly obscures the microphone :( :(

whip the case off and raw-dog that phone my dude

good non-disgusting advice in the spirit of the thread

bizarro otm

this is cyberbullying

I will go down wearing my headphones and holding my phone like a pizza, safe from RF waves, hotface, and acoustic neuromas

maybe you guys should stop holding your PIZZAS like PHONES

People who post on politics threads and still can’t internalize the 27% rule

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.

People who post on politics threads and still can’t internalize the 27% rule

I laughed several times while watching Still Open All Hours so adding myself to the savage list here

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?

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.

feeling AA on the coffee date scene

Guy in the pub who dried his hands under the drier after having a piss.

No washing. Just drying.

give piss a chance.

Wipe them on your trousers, obviously.

All the way back is a dick move
Halfway is fine and expected

if i were going to i would probably ask the person behind me if they mind but the only reason i would want to is the person in front of me did :-\

this is why i charter my own flights tbh

If it's a redeye, it's fine (bring up during food service). If it's daytime, you should look behind you to gauge if they put their seat back or are short.

Depends on how many extra rows of seats they've crammed in though doesn't it?

only acceptable if a) the person in front of you did it, and b) you are of a certain height

The worst are the people who luck out and get a row to themselves so they lie down AND put back all the seats.

i had three rows to myself once, transatlantic flight on xmas eve, even then i don't think i put them back!

What the shit kind of planes are u people going on where there even is an “all the way back” to the seat. It goes back like 4 inches on every plane I’ve ever taken

Ok I think airplane seats used to go back a little further, but not in like the last 10 years

I’m relatively tall, I’m fat, I paid 350 bucks for my round trip ticket, people in front of me put their seats back all the time. I’m putting my goddamn seat back

the only flights i ever take anymore are international flights but i will be fucked if i’m not putting my seat back every single time

BESIDES

the “upright position” means the seat-back is slightly forward anyway because airlines are assholes so “back” is barely reclining anyway

if that makes me a savage i dont care

Everyone in the cabin putting their seat back is a kind of collective passive aggression that makes the flight less enjoyable for all

Agree with all of this. My last 3 plane trips were Newark/Norway (twice) and Newark/Stockholm. I'm 6'2". I'm putting my seat back as far as it will go, and if I have an aisle seat I am sticking my fucking legs out into the aisle. Planes fucking suck; do everything you can to maximize your personal comfort, because I guarantee you no one else on the plane (crew or fellow passengers) gives the tiniest fuck about you.

EXACTLY

nah fuck that. it's a collective action problem. have some moral backbone.

My actual spine > my "moral backbone"

I am flying for a cumulative 54 hours this month. I am going to die. I did finally start using knee high compression socks though.

#leanback

vg + unperson otm

I had to fly Spirit last week, the seats don't even go back! It is like leaning forward.

if a seat goes back it goes back

talk to the manufacturer if you have a problem with that

thanks for this insight into the mind of a savage
