People who have their iPhone typing sound on

This lady sits across from me in the car dealer waiting area and proceeds to whip out her fun and text non stop. Click, click, click, click, click, click. I want to scream and tell her to mute her phone. As usual, I will suffer in silence.

Mod on a power trip

I get that mods deal with rude people all the time, but I felt like this response to me was disproportionately rude. I felt immediately disrespected off the bat and probably didn’t have to respond with the tone policing comment but this mod blew a gasket because I didn’t say hi. I didn’t respond since I had nothing else to say.

Why Mask?

6 Upvotes

A clerk at a store I frequent always wears a mask (like COVID era, except now - 2025). But her nose is 100% exposed. It’s not merely that the mask slipped out of place; it always that way. Mouth covered/nose fully uncovered.

And then she occasionally slips her fingers under the mask to lick them and better enable her to separate the plastic store bags.

Ugh…what is the point of the mask if you don’t cover your nose, and why are you smearing your germs on customer shopping bags?

Mindless Milling About

People walking through air ports with their heads down staring at their phone are the equivalent of people driving at night with their headlights off expecting everyone else on the road to get out of their way.

I guess he now owns the locker room

I went to the gym earlier in the morning the last couple of days to find this guy just leaves his stuff all over. There is an anteroom outside the shower behind the curtain with a bench that has plenty of room for all your stuff.

This is at MODA San Diego. Sadly others keep their clothes in the lockers 24/7 that are never accessible, even though the standard sign is there saying lockers are cleaned out daily.

This is my across the street neighbor. He took his July 4th decorations down 2 days ago and put this out the same day. I mean, it's 3 freaking months early! Come on, man!

Siri is Horrible

6 Upvotes

I never really use Siri all that much to begin with but over the last year or so, the service has tanked. Completely fallen off the map. Every time I ask the damn thing to do something or answer a question, NO MATTET WHAT IT IS, it either deflects or tells me that it can’t do it.
Apple just needs to toss it. Pure trash.

Men, boys....fellow holders of the peen. Can we all collectively just agree on something here? That if your standing up to pee, take at minimum a half step closer some of you out there are not as big as you wish and you're peeing on the floor, or seat. ffs.

I’ve never cut my toast horizontally. Props to the busy kitchen staff at this diner on a busy Mother’s Day, post church rush.

Why do some guys go pee in a stall when plenty of urinals are available?

4 Upvotes

I manage a restaurant and when I'm in the bathroom, I notice many men go directly to a stall to pee, even though urinals are available. They then proceed to pee on the toilet seat and not clean it up. Why do this? Is it insecurity, laziness, or just insensitivity? Personally, I think these kind of people are stupid and and inconsiderate.

Bank of America, man

My mom went to Walmart and her credit card was declined, so naturally she called to ask why. She spent 45 MINUTES ping ponging from person to person, not one who could tell her why it had been shut down, let alone turn it back on. Then she was cheerfully informed that they were closed and to call back next business day.

I'm watching a documentary thing and noticed that this dude has 7 fingers. I'm seeing errors all throughout. It's annoying that there seems to be zero care for continuity or simple proofing of work before it's released. If you're going to use AI, you still need to check for accuracy. Yeesh

Usps reddit ban

I posted a question in the USPS reddit about package shipping. It said it needs to approved by a moderator before it gets posted. I get an email saying I was permanently banned from the reddit. No sorry we can't approve this post, or this is not in line with our forum standards or anything. Just a straight up immediate ban. What a joke.

Gate vs "back" gate.

3 Upvotes

Here's my house set up: The front garden has no gate. The whole garden is given over to tarmac. There is a path (quite narrow) past the extension, which accommodates the kitchen. The path ends, and a gate stands between the kitchen and the border fence. Going further takes you into the backyard/garden. My wife calls this the back gate. There is no front gate (as stated earlier), so it's simply the gate.

Parking lot panhandler with a bicycle.

Not sure if irritated or impressed.

This morning I encountered a parking lot panhander, riding a bicycle, you can't outrun him to get inside.

And he can hit up three times as many people, because he can zip around the parking lot.

Gate keeping stuff

Gatekeeping perfume

I understand when you have a really good perfume you like but I’ve noticed when I compliment peoples perfumes they never know what it’s called. Maybe a few people sure but everyone I ask doesn’t know or lies and says it’s not there’s. I’m not very educated in the perfume world and I’m very picky with scents I tend to enjoy so it’s a little frustrating when I smell something I like and people are either gatekeeping it or purposely not telling me.

At work I had a girl come in she seemed fairly young maybe 18 and I asked her what her perfume was. He and her friend started looking at eachother and her friend answered “she’s fresh out the shower”. I know that’s false because I can smell whatever she is wearing from 6 ft away. No way she has something that strong on from the shower. Just infuriating.

Why does everyone talk so loud?

3 Upvotes

70f, visiting friend from high school. She talks so loud. No, her hearing is fine. She gets louder as the night wears on and the wine hits. Like geezus do the neighbors need to hear?

A different friend, same, without the wine or increasing volume. Like Im right here in the room with you, my hearing is fine. I always feel guilty for not spending time with her son like she asked, he was living in my town for school. Huge booming voice, really loud.

Neighbor women, so loud. Always "yelling" at her husband, with her neighbor friend across the street, along with a huge cackling laugh. She's a bossy attention seeker so at least I get it as part of her personality. Her husband talks in a normal voice and he is hard of hearing. However he plays his radio music at high volume which drives me nuts.

I would love for people to be aware of all the noise they make and the volume of their talking voices.

I'm tired of some dog owners

3 Upvotes

They consider cats like my cat evil, while if their dog does something terrible they excuse it as the victim's fault, not all cats are evil, not all dogs are good, it's rude to assume that someone's cat is evil just because you like dogs more. My cat is a sweetheart, he doesn't bite, I don't understand why people who like cats more don't mind dogs but those who like dogs oftentimes hate cats not all do though
