In my experience those types are the most likely to end up having kids and turning into those people who say "you'll regret it one day if you don't/you'll change your mind" to younger people. I knew several of that type of person in highschool and all but one is married with kids now and doing all the annoying facebook/blogging habits of the people they hated so much. Also the "my spot" guy is an idiot - if you don't like people bothering you while you study, maybe don't study in public? Make room for customers that aren't going to just take up space nursing their 2 dollar coffee for 3 hours and go to a library or any of the large number of places that are better suited for studying.

I've actually seen this happen IRL. Out of a whole class of maybe 30 qualifying on pistols, the guy who smokes everyone is from England and has never held a gun in his life. He didn't attribute it to arcade games though, just said that he didn't know what he was doing so he paid attention to everything the instructor said. Which kind of makes sense if he's up against 29 guys with an "I know what I'm doing, just shut up and let me at it" attitude.

Sometimes the Childfree stuff really gets me enraged, but then I realize that those types of people are usually not the kinds of people who I would like to make more people like them. So, for the sake of future generations, I hope the childfree movement grows even larger so they will be darwinned out of society forever.

I have had cab drivers and other people I'm interacting with in the course of business ask about why I don't have children and go on to say that it was a shame I didn't have any children. "Do you have children?" is a pretty common conversation starter between strangers over 30, along with "What do you do for work?" It's a little odd, but hardly a terrible outrage. So I believe 10% of that happened, the part where the driver asked if she had children.

Small talk is fine but if you start asking me about what I do or whether I have kids it's too much. Mind your own business.

I think the point is he wouldn't have had a meeting scheduled with the owner if he didn't know 19yr old womyn secretary was actually the owner probably Speaking of which what the poo poo is the owner of a company doing at the front desk and how would you even begin to own a company at 19 unless you were a child prodigy or your daddy gave it to you It's all so stdh that it hurts

Winter Stormer posted:It sounded like a salesman trying to get his foot in the door, to me Yeah that's what I thought. I'm assuming this could have happened but the girl is actually the secretary or "executive assistant" whatever they are calling them now and she is just fantasizing about being the owner. I don't think I would want to work for someone who was 19 and still wrote things like "annoying as gently caress", also wtf does her height have to do with anything.

Lots of men do not take women seriously in positions of authority, particularly young and/or physically small women. It's plausible (even likely) that some dudebro salesman was a smug dick to a lady entrepreneur, but why do these dialogues always sound so stilted? They don't even sound "movie fake", they sound "alien poorly emulating hu-mon communication" fake.

You just shut them down and tell them to go away; you don't stand there berating them for mistaking you for a receptionist. Especially if they don't immediately identify themselves and then refuse to do so when asked.

No you see, Trump flipped the racist sleeper cell switch and all the prejudicial thoughts of Trump voters were activated into full-blown, overt KKK-style racism and racism simply didn't exist until Trump gave it permission! Either that or Trump's election actually just activated the whiner switch and none of these people are actually getting harassed any more than they were before, just whining about it more now

I don't think people reporting harassment are "whining" but you do you. Anyway, that's for the shit_that_actually_did_happen.txt thread, as opposed to the dumb letter, which is either a hoax by someone who wants to make Trump supporters look bad, or a hoax by someone who doesn't like a lady who wears hijab and wants her to think that evil Trump supporters are out to get her. Probably #1 but I know some teens who would pull #2, so.

I'm not even trying to say that people talking about actual harassment are whining; just people who post poo poo that didn't happen because they don't like Trump, because clearly Trump brought out all the racists and they didn't exist before apparently. That's specifically what I mean.

On the Childfree people. They are always whining about spoiled children, and neglectful/indulgent parents, but they also seem to me to be the kind of narcissistic entitled arseholes who, if they did have kids, would believe that their superduper special angel was always in the right, and it was the fault of the supermarket that little Kayleigh was running around ripping up packets and screaming. Why can't you squares and killjoys just appreciate the wonderful free artistic spirit she is? Not now sweetie, mommy is complaining to the manager about the lack of childcare availlable.
