    “anyone eating by themselves at a Chinese buffet”

    I just want to read my book and feed my depression in peace.  I'm not hurting anyone but my insides.

      Yeah, I’m all about lunch by myself. Doesn’t matter the restaurant. I just need to get away from people for an hour. I remember eating dinner at a Olive Garden and the guy at the next table was all by himself reading a book while eating his meal. I was low-key jealous. He seemed totally content. A good book and some carb overload? I don’t see the problem.

    “9. Barefoot White People”

    Man, this was accurate AF. Like...really, really, really accurate. I don’t understand how feet can get that way if one showers/bathes regularly...

      It me.

      I used to have soles like fucking leather from being barefoot in the city all summer long. Now I have soft pampered feet and I only take my shoes off (usually) on my property.

      Same here. Best time to go to the grocery store is as soon as they open in the morning, or the very latest they’re open at night.

      I’d like to reassure Michael that aisle-blocking is not some sort of microaggression, since it happens to me at least once per grocery store visit. Some people just have no sense of spacial self-awareness. My favorite example was a woman at the airport attempting to pull a fully loaded luggage cart through a gap between a post and wall that was a full foot narrower. She just stood there, trying again and again, looking totally bewildered. There’s no cure for that.

    In my world, this includes people who brazenly try to sneak into my apartment building/work building behind me (not so much the lobby, but the elevators where you also need a key). I don’t like anyone doing that, but people used to expressing a healthy amount of entitlement get the huffiest when treated as the unauthorized trespasser and security risk that they are. Sounds like a job for law enforcement.

    Also, there are few things that will stoke my temper quicker than someone blocking an aisle for no good reason.

      YES. I don’t know you, stranger, and I sure don’t want to let you in for a rapin’. Probably of me, to boot.

      You do realize that looking and acting like you belong there is the basic social engineering trick to get where you don’t belong? Have a star for basic security common sense.

    Also, any white male with close-cropped hair and wraparound glasses should be kept under constant surveillance.


    Michael, I love you, but I’m not sure calling the police on the police will actually work.
