    I'll take that over those walking tumors who listen to their music so loud it makes wherever they are look like its having an earthquake. Seriously inconsiderate. the only way you need music that loud is if your deaf. Not just in cars but anywhere with people.

    I've no bullshit walked up to people blasting at intersections and said "If I wanted to hear your stereo, I'd get in your fucking car." The shocked look of bewilderment as to why their "right" infringing on others would be considered wrong is totally worth it.

    If this is true you're a good person and you make the sun just a little brighter.

    I've no reason to lie about anything on here. Hell, I'll post my full name and an 8 digit grid coordinate leading directly to me. I know no fear.



    As far as unpopular opinions go, this is apparently unpopular: authentic Mexican food and authentic Indian food tastes like dirt, pain, or painful dirt. I don't know what in the flavor profile does it, but they both have a shared spice that makes them both damn near inedible to me. However, Italian and Irish food I can eat all day, DOUBLY so with Chinese.

    Muscle shirts are one thing, but if you’ve got a moose knuckle or a camel toe through your pants, or if I can see the distinct outline of your nipples or if your cleavage is so compressed it’s falling out, you need looser clothes or another layer. Basically, don’t wear your underwear as
    outerwear. As athletic clothing, those styles fail because they’d be so tight they chaff, and as every day where that’s unprofessional. Even swimmers and cyclists don’t wear stuff that tight, and they are going for aerodynamics. Do tight fighting clothes have a time and place? Absolutely, but that time and place isn’t anywhere that’s not the gym, or maybe Walmart at midnight.

    What frustrates me at the store is when they put a trainee at the register, and they have to ask whoever's training them, stuff like:
    "Okay, that means he wants this- right?"
    "Okay, that message popped up- what do I do again?"

    (Folds his arms and straightens up) Now why the hell would you put that person out on the freakin' floor?

    I understand Saturdays can be pretty busy, certain holidays things can get hectic, and you need all the people you can find- but still: Make sure they're 100% trained before you cut'em loose to work.

    Because while they're figuring that out- I'm standing there, feeling my marbles slowly drop past my knees, because that's how OLD I'm going to be by the time this transaction is over!

    "There's no better way for some people to learn than to place'em directly in the field."- (slaps them across the face with his marbles) NOT if they're costing me, the customer, time!

    You make a training room, with a training register, you take'em back there, and teach'em until they're ready- either that or bring'em in at night, shut down one of the register lines, and train'em on that register until they get it- OR take'em to the customer service department at the back of the store, where the 2nd restrooms are, and teach'em there.

    Cutting them loose on a Saturday, being only semi-ready, isn't smart- and customers shouldn't have to sit there and watch you show'em, "Okay, press that button....then press that..."- You know what? While you guys are figuring that out: I'm gonna go take a piss. Watch my stuff. (drags his marbles into the bathroom) ^_^

    I’m a fairly peaceful non-violent guy, but I feel like I’d support some kind of Judge Dredd justice system for people who block an entire aisle with their cart. Doubly for people who hold “old friend reunion and catchup” in some key traffic flow spot like the intersection of main aisles or the front of the store just inside the entrance. It should be legal to ram people like that with your cart. (Not really but you get the frustration).

    I feel the same way about people who go to the gym to dick-around.

    The worst are the people who roll 4 or 5 deep. WTF do you need that many people with you to workout? They always wind up just bullshiting and taking up space.

    Just showing up seems to ease some people's conscience or something. But they always look like they did when they first started. No progress.

    You don't need to bring your damn dog everywhere you go! I went to the mall over the weekend and people everywhere had their dogs with them... inside a freaking mall! I almost stepped on a couple of them. None of them were assistance dogs. They were there just because it's fashionable. Keep your dog at home! It's not a child.

    I heard a dog bark in the hotel room across from mine yesterday morning- as my wife and I were heading down to the lobby to check out- and I was like: Who the Hell brings a dog to a hotel???

    Where's the dog supposed to do it's business?

    What if it damages some of the furniture or barks and bothers the other customers trying to sleep?

    "Well maybe they couldn't find somebody to watch it, so they had to bring it along."- THAT'S NO EXCUSE. They shouldn't have came then!

    If you can't get somebody to watch your stupid mutt, then you sit on your ass at home and you watch that stupid mutt- because that's life- things don't always go your way- deal with it.

    You don't drag the mutt along with you, to a hotel in downtown St. Louis, and shove it in a hotel room overnight- that's:
    1) Cruel to the animal- where are they supposed to do their business?

    2) Rude to everyone else there- if your dog won't shut the hell up- or maybe somebody on your floor is allergic.

    3) A liability to the hotel- because nobody knows how well your dog is trained. If your dog wrecks the hotel room furniture or ends up biting somebody: That's legally the hotel's problem. Now you've got THEM involved in some bullshit they didn't need. Nice work.

    This is why cats are better- they don't need anybody there to watch them. It's like leaving a teenager home by themselves- just give'em money for pizza and they're golden. Simple plan.

    As long as they have a timed water/food dispenser and a litter box: Have a nice weekend, they'll see ya when you return. ^_^

    I think "The Things That Annoy You" thread needs to make a comeback.

    I'm not that excited for Captain Marvel. I honestly don't understand the hype. I realize that it's hard to top Infinity War in terms of excitement, but the trailer and "reveals" have been kinda lame. The fact that it was supposed to "break the internet" just makes it all really lame to me. I mean, Shazam looks more exciting than Captain Marvel in my opinion.

    I'm not afraid to admit that there was a point where I was aboard the fortnite train, but I've done a 180 on how I feel about the game. I really, really don't like it, with the only reasoned left for me to play it being my friends, but now I don't even care. The community is obnoxious, and I realize that's a crummy thing to say, but it's a rather annoying fanbase.

    Speaking of fandoms, why is everyone so damn rude these days? For example, iFunny is a place of memes, and yet it's one of the most toxic sites I've been on. I remember seeing people spam tags of fandoms with posts full of insults toward those fandoms. There's not a single piece of media that doesn't receive major flack for.

    I've gone on record multiple times, but I hate my generation. Seriously, some of my classmates are huge d#cks.

    Ah yes, the original Captain Marvel...er, Shazam! looks 100% better.

    All I know is when a selling point for a movie is "Look! We can deage Sam Jackson 25 years!", it's probably boring. I don't think it's necessarily following Infinity War hype, because Ant Man and Wasp already dealt with that and suffered critically (as in, movie reviews) for it. The trailer music was cool, but it doesn't warrant a movie ticket from me.

    Cucumbers in salad are butt-nasty. They dominate all the other things so it's all you taste.

    I like them by themselves though.
