Yeah the only problem with those people is extravagance; most supermarkets do their own versions for half the price with p much the same active ingredients. I'm into them

I see that "people walking three abreast" on a sidewalk was posted here almost a decade ago, but it is much worse in the hallways of a building, where you can't even step into the street to get out of the way. I'm not flattening myself against the wall for these disgusting savages anymore, just stopping in my tracks and seeing if they'll go so far as to run right into me.

Similar to what I do when disgusting savages try to get on the bus before I've got off it.

If you heard my ringtone we would probably have a physical confrontation. (It's a high-pitched, bloodcurdling scream. I've seen it make an entire office jump in their seats. You can hear it at the link below.)

when you have to go to a work meeting which is maybe 5 or 6 people around a 4-person table and all the dudes stretch their legs out or cross them all splayed out at weird angles so you cannot get anywhere near the goddamn table
you just have to perch some way away from the table with your legs tucked under the chair and your notepad on your knee, and everyone looks at you like you're a weirdo for not being near the table, but they still don't move their legs

I’m doing an evening class and students talk over the teacher all the time. So exasperating. And doubly annoying because it’s a counselling class and the literal point of the class is HOW TO LISTEN

it's weird every once in a while to end up in someone's house where they smoke inside. even most regular smokers I know go outside now

Also, I am likely to make many enemies, but people who cannot last the 90-120 minutes of a film without scarfing down a massive pile of popcorn, soda, ice cream, whatever. Sometimes I wonder if the appeal of the movies is sanctioned bingeing on junk food. Watch the movie. Eat good food, somewhere else.Maybe one for the IA thread.
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Thursday, 1 March 2018 23:28 (six years ago) link
it's been mentioned here before (or in IA) but cannot be said enough. I went to see Annihilation at the mall here, it has long stretches of suspense-building (relative) silence and for the whole fucking movie it sounded like a pack of rats was playing in a pile autumn leaves in the row behind me. And chewing, lady. The sound of your mouth, the whole time. Seriously you can't not eat for 90 minutes?

Guy in check out line; one box of clif bars to purchase and not only does he stare at his phone and fail to put his items down for awhile, he finally puts the clif box down and doesn't turn it so the box takes up the majority of the line. Phones are the worst for bringing out people's inherent mediocrity
― kolakube (Ross), Friday, 2 March 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link
Also my hands were full with bags
I think if you go to a multiplex to see a movie and expect nobody to be eating or drinking, you're doomed to be disappointed and should wait to see the movie at home.
The worst disgusting savages I have encountered at the movies were at a festival screening of "into great silence", a documentary about monks which is almost entirely silent. A lot of people got bored and left, making no effort to open or close the theatre door quietly. So the entire screening was punctuated by repeated "KA-CHUNK... SLAM"s.

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.
― startled macropod (MatthewK), Friday, 2 March 2018 04:30 (six years ago) link
Don't mind me, just taking 30 seconds to figure out how to open this snack in the middle of Solaris.
― jmm, Friday, 2 March 2018 04:44 (six years ago) link
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.
― Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 2 March 2018 05:31 (six years ago) link
I'd moderate my stance but this is the thread for intolerance

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.
― Jeff, Friday, 2 March 2018 11:13 (six years ago) link
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.
― jmm, Friday, 2 March 2018 14:14 (six years ago) link
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
