People putting nasty poo poo on desks and tables in public places. I'm really sure the next person who uses the picnic table or phone desk will appreciate your stinky bare feet or baby's used diaper. I keep a wet-nap foil pack in my wallet for this sort of thing and I hate that I have to do it but you nasty rear end motherfuckers leave me no choice.

At the airport: people who sit at the phone charging seating who aren't using the charger. Yeah, it's a seat, but maybe sit at one of the 35 empty benches so that someone who wants to charge their phone has a spot available.

This might sound goony but babies and little kids are loving disgusting and it's not cute if they're naked or pooping themselves and I feel like it has to be a survival mechanism for parents to believe it is and constantly talk about it

I guess this is a corollary, but I saw a family where they were charging their ipad, but instead of sitting where the charging station was, they were all sitting like 6 seats over. So this ipad is just sitting their charging and taking up a seat. It was busy and there were barely any empty seats, and here's an ipad on a seat all by itself.

Smash cake all over baby's face! How cute, he's absolutely filthy! My toddler nieces and nephews have a dog. They share toys with the dog. Parents say, "oh they're bound to get dog germs anyway!" Then heard one of the girls describing in baby talk how she was pooping in her diaper, while crouched in the corner. Kids are so loving nasty.

Move the ipad onto the floor and sit down. Quite often the only reason so many of these little obnoxious things keep happening is that the people doing them never experience any pushback. Push the idiot who just got off the metro and has to stop and "get their bearings" blocking everyone behind them. Elbow past with a little firm but polite "excuse me" for idiots who stand on the left side of escalators. These people need some gentle corrections or they'll never learn.

Picnic Princess posted:Guy asked me how to open the bathroom door because it has a handle that doesn't turn. I told him to juts push the door because the handle won't turn. Then asks "Are you sure?" I can't stand it when people ask you a question and you provided a pretty firm answer and they almost reflexively reply "Are you SURE!??!?" I have the occasional student who does this, and it's not even when they ask a question related to the material per se. "Mr. Dungsroman I am almost done with my rough draft is it ok to turn it in first thing before class tomorrow?" "Yes that's fine." "ARE YOU SURE?!?!" "...Yes?" Like why does that need a certainty check. It's not a huge deal and it's not like the student asked me a hard fact like what the third phase of mitosis is called.

Related: when people refuse to believe you when you describe something they have personally never seen. Like last night I told my friend to be careful not to move the minibar stuff since in most modern hotels there are sensors that will activate when you take something from its spot and charge it to your room. He looked at me like I was an idiot and said that isn't real and laughed at me for not knowing how minibars work. I even showed him proof that they exist and are used in a ton of hotels but he just said "well i still haven't seen them, they must be super rare". Why would I make something as mundane as that up?

When people put their bags on the seats at bus stops or train stations and just stand next to them. I dont care about the unneccessarily occupied seat, what pisses me off is how when your standing this close to the seats youre shoving your disgusting rear end in the face of everyone who is actually sitting down. Your rear end is at eye level when you stand next to these seats jfc

To be fair there are a lot of people who claim stuff works in a way that it actually doesn't and will refuse to move from that opinion despite definitive proof to the contrary. I didn't know that about minibars either and I'd probably roll my eyes unless you actually proved that was the case

It says right there on the minibars that work that way and the more modern hotels all tend to have them in my experience (radisson blu in zurich, hilton frankfurt airport etc). Pretty much every time I close the door too hard and they ask me if I had X amount of minibar liquor last night and I always have to say no because the sensors are way too sensitive. E: to be clear, I am aware that not all minibars do this. In this case it was another radisson blu and considering the zurich one constantly thinks i'm emptying the thing when I stay there, I just mentioned to be careful assuming they used the same system since they are a chain. In this case it was one of the old ones where they just check it after you leave or you tell them when you check out. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 13:02 on Jul 20, 2017 |

I have the occasional student who does this, and it's not even when they ask a question related to the material per se. Because a hard fact is something that ban be checked or at worst relearned, but a late assignment is a major grade penalty. It's not uncommon for a professor to say they're agreeing to something they don't actually agree with, due to a misunderstanding, so when it's a one-time important exception to the rules, you want to make sure everybody's clear on what's going on.

There's a supervisor that walks along with it to make sure everyone is safe. I've done this job many times, it's easy to keep an eye on everyone. The train is only 5 small cars long. How the hell do these parents send their kids to school? Do they sit in the parking lot wringing their hands the whole time?

When they send them to preschool, they log in to the webcams in each room, so they can wring their hands from anyplace with wifi. When they send them to elementary school, they equip them with babby's first smartphone - the electronic umbilical cord.

People who can't put their phone in their pocket for one god damned second when they're walking down a busy sidewalk -- or worse, walking up/down stairs -- need to be dropkicked in the back of the head. There are going to be entire generations of people who think this is okay behavior, and I am not ready.

When you have a baby you spend most of your time covered in vile excretions of all kinds, so does the baby and so does every surface in your home. It's just normal and +/- one counter with infant poo poo on it doesn't even register. There's probably a "I'm on so little sleep I can barely see outside my own eyeballs" factor for the first few months too. Not excusing them; It's still disgusting, kids are still disgusting, and I wish the general population didn't extend parents quite so much leeway as it seems to.

There are going to be entire generations of people who think this is okay behavior, and I am not ready. They're not walking; they're ambling, and they always weave back and forth. I've given up trying to get around them politely, I just pick my path and if they weave into it at the last minute they're going to get shouldered out of the way. Most of the time the physical contact doesn't even register.

I was a latchkey kid and spent all my free time playing outside until it was dark that I can't comprehend having a parent that overly attached. If I ever become a parent I would want the kid to be just like me: go out, get dirty, get hurt, explore, have fun, try not to commit any crimes or get run over.

On several occasions, when I tried to run to the store around 7 PM they begged me "don't go out there!" and one lady tried to physically restrain me, certain that venturing into the suburban shopping center at dusk would spell my doom.

In this area, two shootings a year would be a lot. The city I was born in, however, is a 30 minute drive from the campus and there's at least one shooting a week there.

They've recently been putting up a bunch of speedbumps in my (very residential) neighborhood, including one right around the corner from my house. Recently, I've been seeing people parking literally on top of the speedbump. Like their back wheels are on top of it. The other day I was coming home, and there were two cars parked on top of it, one on either side of the road. I thought maybe people were just pissed that their street parking was now being taken up by the speedbump, but the space in between the neighboring driveways isn't even one full car-length long. So not only are these morons now parking on the speedbump, half of their car is blocking someone's driveway. And there are perfectly acceptable places to park like....10 feet further up the street! Gah! \/ \/ \/ Lol. I was just reading a baby name blog for the poo poo names thread, and I happened across one woman who had the trifecta (all girls): 1) Dallas MaKenna 2) Dakota Morgan 3) Kelbi Cheyenne genetic_knockout has a new favorite as of 02:23 on Jul 25, 2017 |

We even had someone writing an article for a national newspaper bitching about how her economy flight sucked, and it should be the onus of airlines to improve the cheapest seat to her standards. Their sense of entitlement is overwhelming. I mentally read it in the she-bogan combination of whine and shriek that I am unfortunately so familiar with.
