Nothing ground breaking here, just posting some irritating nonsense that occurred today. I'm at a training class this week with about 15 others. I don't know any of them.

Guy one: every ten minutes, his phone whistles, indicating he has an email or text.

Guy two: spends a half hour after lunch chewing ice cubes.

Both of these are occurring while the instructor is "lecturing" for lack of a better term.

The part that irritated me most was, when the class went on a tour to see the techs that work for the company. Hardly exciting I know, but many of us have received support from these people and it was nice to put faces with names. In any case, at one point we are in the development area and they are telling us about what they are working on for the future software release (again, not overly exciting) but I can't hear a thing because 3-4 people are behind me talking about traffic of all things. WTF is wrong with people? It seems more and more there is no such thing as common courtesy.

 
Dude got on the subway today... I'm leaning against the door, I'm the next stop, he puts his bag down next to my feet and stands abou 10 inches from my face. Train wasn't overly crowded. I started sneezing, no reaction, I had snot that I just let fall from my nose, no reaction... I let out one more huge sneeze, made sure it was moist, only covered half my mouth, and exited the train.

Lesson:

Some people really are just oblivious.

 
Few people have hounded more benefit from the last half-century's social freedoms than your humble servant, but it's becoming dramatically apparent that allowing every last jackanape to be Emperor of their own lives is going to turn out to be a colossally bad idea.

 
Walked into the restroom at my local big box store today.

What do I see? A full grown man, roughly 6' 2", late 40s, with his shorts down around his ankles, bare assed, draining the lizard into the urinal.

:unsure:

 
Yeah, I got on the subway today. Only going 2 stops, so no sense going too far from the door, right? Suddenly this guy standing next to me starts sneezing and doesn't even cover his mouth. Guy has snot running out his nose and is spreading his germs all over me. It was all I could do to not react and/or punch him out.

Obviously he wanted you. Just who was oblivious?

 
Caught in a mild backup on the way home the other day. After creeping up to the light I see the problem. A disabled car in the left turn lane. Not sure why this backed up all the lanes, but ok... the car directly behind the broke down car is beeping at it. Hey genius, there is no one in the car anymore. I don't think that's going to have the effect you are looking for.

This thread could be entertaining......and the longest thread in FBG history. The majority of humans now seem to fall in the category of moron. Nothing eventful for me today but it's only 8:09 am. Morons ramp it up as the day goes on.

Lady at Dallas airport: this looks like the minneapolis airport doesn't it?

You mean with the terminal seats, high glass windows and airplanes outside? Yeah, I guess it kind of does.

 
This guy behind me on the supermarket line started pickung up my groceries on the belt and reading the labels.

He was buying a 6 pack if that is at all relevant

he probably never seen so much goat cheese in one place before
I hate goat cheese

I was buying....

Asiago

Queso fresco

Blarney castle

Dubliner

Manchego

Parmigiano reggiano

Smoked moozadell

He didnt touch the cheese though. He was looking at the jars and boxes of crackers. Had he touched the cheeses, brussel sprouts or my endive I would have said something.

I dont want extra hands on anything fresh

This notion could get you into trouble. People are apathetic, lazy, inconsiderate, and self-absorbed. That doesn't make them stupid. When you underestimate the intelligence of everybody around you, you've become an easy mark.

No, they are stupid.

 
I still remember people putting their names on a wait list to buy a Suburban over sticker so that they could use if for a commuter vehicle in Southern California. And don't get me started on the Hummers when they were popular, too. In an urban area???

And here I figured you blew your paycheck on Mad dog 2020 and unfiltered cigarettes.

Nothing; you have this thing called "disposable income".

You can only vote for your own reps.
.. and 95% the entire population voted to keep the same people that have an 11% approval rate were retained. looking at it individually or as a whole nation.. its still a retention rate that does not make sense when the approval rate is that low..

We have the representation we deserve. They know that as long as they can keep us taking sides, they can keep us from making stands. Down to us, buckos.

If you like your guys, but don't like all the other people, you can't do anything about it. A liberal from California might love their reps, but hate the Republican majority. They would vote with disapproval of Congress, but also re-elect their locals.
 
Wife was flipping thru the channels yesterday and landed on Catfish, the MTV series.

My daughter was so taken aback by why people would actually lie and create false profiles. She just could not understand why anyone would want to con someone like that and play with their feelings.

She did some research, got up this morning and went to the library and signed out some psychology books.

I told her, good luck trying to figure people out. But i commend her for trying.

Correct.. its the classic.. Its always everybody else's representatives that are incompetent but not mine... which explains the 95% retention rate.. or how easily the American public is to control through political campaign's
