What is it with movie people? "El Topo has many layers: the inner Platonic journey of enlightenment which's a mystical/prophetic issue, the issue of sexual liberty and political struggle/ war on imperialism. El Topo goes through many tough obstacles to learn that perfection can only be achieved trough nothingness, through embracing your weakness, which connects this with zen and with buddhist monks and Vietnam at the end. Despite its naivety, it's still original as hell and exciting for its search of transcendence." - some guy on Criticker I mean what the loving poo poo is this.

To be fair it's El Topo. I wouldn't expect anything less than obnoxious wine snob stylings out of someone who would spend the time to review it online.

I think the idea is that they won't have to carry around poo poo in a bag the rest of the hike and they can pick it up to dispose of on the way back. Realistically, the amount of people who follow through on it...

It seems to have gotten worse here recently but at the same time outdoor recreation has increased dramatically too, I've been extremely active and invested in mountain recreation for a decade now and the amount of people on trails now is ridiculous compared to before. Social media is really driving this intense growth in people finding what was previously considered secret locations and causing overcrowding, and with that comes major litter and pollution issues. All of my outdoor recreation peers who actually involve their dog in their activities either pack it out or leave it to decompose naturally so I personally know no one who can give me an explanation as to why this is a thing.

Yeah I saw a dude pick up his dog's poo poo into a little bright green bag, walk 2 steps and chuck it into some apartment building's garden. There was a garbage can just half a block away in the direction he was walking. Without a lot of heavy handed "social engineering" and generations of culture to build up traditions of basic politeness, humans natural state seems to be absolute disgusting garbage.

I always assumed they think they are doing whoever does the groundskeeping in the park a favor by making it easier for them to see it/pick it up. Some people think that just because a person is paid to clean something, it means you aren't expected to make any effort yourself. You see the same attitude in public bathrooms too, or in offices where people think "don't worry about it, the janitor will get that". I mean, technically it is their job, but you're still an rear end in a top hat if you go out of your way to make it more difficult/gross for them. Unfortunately I think a lot of people are raised without ever learning to clean up after themselves and will never learn unless all the people picking up after them disappear suddenly.

I lived with a guy whose mum was an absolutely obsessive cleaner - like cleaning the house twice a day kind of ridiculous. She always did everything and now he's completely incapable of the most basic cleaning. When we moved out of our first house we had to tidy the place up and his room had literally not been cleaned once in 3 years, and his loving mum and sisters came over and did it all for him. It just doesn't even occur to him that he'd ever need to do it because surely someone else will be along in a minute and sort it for you. It was unreal. I'm lazy about keeping house, but that means I maybe don't get around to the bigger jobs for a couple weeks, not living in filth for years at a time.

This park is wildland alpine meadows with loving grizzly bears and moose and poo poo in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. No grounds keepers here. But that reminds me of a time I was 5km into a 22km backpacking trip and we passed a girl who asked where the garbage can was. So maybe these dogshit leavers actually do think the meadows are tended to.

A guy at work has a habit of just disappearing for 20 minutes at a time, at least once an hour. Always at the busiest times during the dinner rush. My supervisor has called him out on it a few times, but he just becomes confrontational with her. For some reason, this causes her to drop the subject and then she complains to me about it later. What really pissed me off, though, is what he did yesterday. He was gone for nearly an hour while she and I were working on closing the kitchen. When he sauntered back in, she asked where he'd been, and he looked up at the screen. "HAHA there aren't even any orders!" He laughed and started to walk out of the kitchen again. I flipped out at him. I yelled at him that there was a lot of cleaning to be done, that just because he wasn't closing didn't mean he could slack off. That I'd had enough of his attitude. He looked at me with his stupid usual cocky smirk, said "You're not my boss," and went back outside. Little does he know that I am getting a promotion in just a few days, when my current supervisor leaves. I WILL be his boss. And I will not be putting up with his bullshit. This is going to be fun, guys.

Please post an update after you fire him. My pet peeve right now is so minor and stupid. I have a puppy and I am trying to train him not to jump up on people. When I'm out walking him, strangers will firstly just approach him and start petting him without asking and then when he jumps up they're all "Oh awwww what a good boy!" That's reinforcing him jumping up on people! Agh!

So I scheduled a doctors appointment yesterday at my local clinic because my leg has been bugging me for weeks, it's not getting better and I want to see if they can find out what's going on. I check with my manager yesterday if it's okay to take off 3 hours early. I live about 25-30 min away from my work. It's at 3 but I ask to go at 2 so that I can make it on time even if I get held up a little. I estimate I'd be waiting and in the office for 30 min, so by the time I'm done and got back to work I'd have an hour left in my shift at which point it's not worth it to drive back. This all gets the okay by her as we have tons of coverage and I even offer to call in a friend for the last 3 hours if needed and they say it's fine. So today hits and the senior of my department goes "normally for doctor visits you leave, come back, and finish your shift" You loving kidding me? I'd have an hour left. Yeah he doesn't care I should finish it off. I say okay because I don't want to lose it on him but I'm ready to walk. I find another manager and tell him I'm not coming back, I cleared it and his reasoning is bullshit. If they need people I'll get someone. I get told the guy was just worried I scheduled an appointment to get out of work early. I work 9:15-5:15 three days a week, 10-6 once, and 1:30 to close on Friday. Sat/Sun I have off but the clinic is closed then and they're only open 9-5. So tell me how the gently caress I'm supposed to get an appointment for Friday morning and that's it? Just tell me straight up if there's an issue and what I can do to solve it. Don't tell me some dumb poo poo reasoning I've never been told before (I've scheduled appointments before without this being an issue). The thing that gets me is that I've told them over and over I have a buddy willing to pick up those three hours and I'll call him. They never once told me to do so yet. If my leaving early is a problem I have a solution so go gently caress yourselves if your problem is simply I'm leaving early.

The woman asked me if we carried sun bras. The man had this poo poo-eating grin on his face. I said I never heard of a sun bra before. She was wearing a shirt with snaps instead of buttons, and she rips it open to expose her bra and says "it looks like this" with this aggressive look on her face, staring me directly in the eyes. I poo poo you not, her boyfriend yelled "Helloooo nurse!" while still grinning like an idiot and laughing. She then explained that there was no seam between the strap and the cup and was asking if we had those. I was so flustered I don't even remember my response. I used to work sporting goods at Walmart and one morning a guy called my department to ask if we had any extra large cups left because he was "hung like a moose."

When people don't answer texts when they're obviously at their phone, and not busy. specifically, when you've been talking and they just stop for no reason. Can't "hey I can't talk now but let's talk later" be a new thing? Or just a "I'm busy so I won't respond very much" When you've been talking to someone for some significant period of time and they just stop responding it would be nice to get a heads up.

Along those lines, when someone texts you "Hey what's up?" then you text back within about a minute or so "Not much, what's up with you?" and then their next response is 18+ hours later and/or about some completely different subject out of nowhere.
