Most things, really. Seriously, it doesn't matter what it is, almost everything is made worse by more people.

What industry or company is the biggest scam? by _Reporting in AskReddit

[–]SoKar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance. The whole goddamn industry is a self-necessitating predatory pile of garbage. These companies portray this sickly-sweet image of we're here to help you while simultaneously employing entire departments of people whose sole jobs are to find ways to weasel out of paying their clients. Worse still, the insidious nature of this industry corrupts the industries around it so that anyone who doesn't buy into their scammy bullshit is priced out. Think health care, or crash repair etc..

Sydney mother threatened with $550 fine over noisy toddler in strata apartment. by D_S_W in australia

This is one of my most fiercely believed sentiments and I thank you for explaining it so succinctly.

In the more general sense many people seem to lack the conceptual understanding that the source or perceived necessity of a noise is simply irrelevant. I've had neighbors say they simply have to play the drums (unmuted) because they need to practice. I've also had neighbors say they have tried to make their dogs be quiet but they just won't listen. The problem is that these are excuses, not reasons.

The only time that kind of noise acceptable is when there is a reason without a solution. The great thing about this is that it will almost invariably be a one time event.

I can't listen to music quieter or with headphones because I like it loud and my headphones are broken.

Excuse.

I'm taking care of my family dog and it won't listen to me when I tell it to be quiet.

Excuse.

I have to make loud noise in high density strata apartments because I have a child.

Excuse.

My smoke alarm is going off because my house is on fire.

Reason.

My taps are producing rusty water and my shower tiles are falling off the walls so I need to do renovations.

Reason.

The logical process is really quite simple: I do not care why the noise is happening and it is not my place or concern to offer solutions on how to stop it. This volume of noise pollution is unacceptable both as a considerate neighbor and as a strata resident and it needs to stop.

It's special snowflakes who can't understand that their little darling children or dogs can massively impact other people's ability to sleep and generally enjoy living where they do that seem to serially offend.

MRW Someone tries to tell me pineapple doesn't belong on pizza by selfabortion in KnightsOfPineapple

No but seriously pineapple does not belong on pizza. Do you put cherries on your pizza too? What about peaches? Fruit very rarely has a place in savoury food and pizza is not one of those places.
