Shit Parking.

If you're driving a 2 ton metal box and can't have the spatial awareness to fit it into a large rectangle, you shouldn't be on the road.

I agree, I shouldn't be on the road. I try to be as safe as I can but I hate driving.

People who don't like cats.

I've noticed a correlation between people who don't like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies. Could be just an impression but that's how I feel.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I don't like cats, mainly for two reasons:

  1. I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
  2. Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It's like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.

I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.

Huh, I kinda feel the opposite. You need (or at least SHOULD) be very attentive to a pup. Dogs, in general, tend to crave/require more attention. Cats are more hands-off, so they often attract the kinda people who want a pet for the sake of having a pet - which tend to be narcissistic types.*

*not true of all cat people

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

Interesting. My reasoning is that narcissistic people crave attention, which cats may not give so overtly as a dog. Basically for a dog, a person is a god and some people love that kind of relationship.

In my experience dog owners often like to control another being, cat owners like to just let others be.

Owning giant pickup trucks and SUVs. I'm not that secretive about it, though. I assume everyone driving them is an insecure, overgrown child who wants a big vroom vroom.

Whenever another guy recommends something I find repulsive, for various reasons, I tend to write off most respect I had for that person.
Lately some guys have talked positively about Andrew Tate, and it's just made it easier for me to know who is a gullible prick and who to avoid.

People who brag their infant child is so smart they can use YouTube to find and watch videos when in reality they're shitty parents who got a 2-year old addicted YouTube that's specifically designed to be navigable by kids.

Being completely unaware of anyone else:

  • Standing in doorways, using your phone or having a conversation
  • Talking loudly when inappropriate, when I’m in pain at the doctors, I don’t want to hear about your roses
  • leaving your shopping trolley blocking the aisle sideways in the supermarket while looking for your stuff
  • driving down the middle of the road so everyone else has to pull over, when there’s plenty of room for two cars to pass
  • stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
  • riding your delivery bike down the footpath at high speed weaving between pedestrians

As Jean-Paul Sartre said, β€œHell is other people”.

All the people typing "loose" when they mean "lose". Shit's been happening a lot for the past year or two and I don't know why.

It's just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time

If you cannot chew with your mouth closed and you are older than 6 years, you should not be allowed to vote, operate heavy machinery or have children.
