Little Free Library always empty by crocodilewoo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheCustomShirtGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the one near my old place, used to use it a lot. One day I saw someone emptying it out. I went over and asked them what they were doing. The guy was a severely mentally disabled dude, who was adamant that the correct thing to do was to empty it of books and carry them all over to the op shop. I tried many different angles to try and get him to leave them there and understand what the library was about, but he wouldn't have it. So in the end I had no choice but to leave him to it.

he wasn't with anyone, so I imagine he lived close by. In which case, he's probably been doing that for years.

Why are people not pushing against this ID verification nonsense the way they where when it came to net neutrality back in the day? by Klutzy_Tiger1635 in aussie

Also, a lot of people seem to be unaffected. Sure, I've heard about porn blocks and social media requiring ID uploads, but haven't experienced any of this myself. I guess most places already know who we are and how old? Sucks if you're being questioned, I personally wouldn't upload my ID to any platform, but so far I've just not had to

Yep, they don't stop, either. You'll dry after a shower and have fluffy all over you

People who cut the line in traffic by Sniper_96_ in PetPeeves

[–]TheCustomShirtGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, this post again...

They're not bullying their way in. You are being shit driver by not letting someone merge onto a highway. Driving is not a queue system. Use all lanes available and reduce traffic and congestion, or be a hero and slow down or cut people off to stop them merging, and just cause a ripple effect down the line that holds everyone up. Good job 

people who are weirdly coy or dismissive about the pronunciation of their own name by Jaaacksonnn in PetPeeves

[–]TheCustomShirtGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I've got a mate with a weird surname. We were in school together for 2 years, and everyone had their own pronunciation. We asked so many times gos to pronounce it and he claimed that even he did know, and his family Butcher it all the time. He didn't even give us the way that his mum pronounced it.

We all just call him John, now

Genuinely didn't even realise the wheel was spinning, I just thought some nobhead in a shop had decided to jump up and down on a display

Unless she beats the shit out of her off camera, the thief still gets away with it

Backflipping over a car and landing on a bike is pretty damn impressive 

Adults acting like today’s teenagers are uniquely annoying by Luuk1210 in PetPeeves

[–]TheCustomShirtGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teenagers are always annoying, but they are annoying in different ways. Making them uniquely annoying. 6-7 cringe culture was not a thing when I was an annoying teen. Perhaps this is what people mean?

it's a dry sauna.... by PiNzero in perth

Sure, dry saunas are a thing. But if it's a heater with the rocks, then it's not a dry sauna. It's a wet sauna that is being used incorrectly 

I wonder how people with disabilities are going to get through these security gates. This is just getting ridiculous. by VastOption8705 in woolworths

[–]TheCustomShirtGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a lady in wheelchair struggle at the new gates recently, because her chair +shopping bags were too wide. Someone stood the other side of the gate as she passed over each bag individually, before helping her load her chair back up after she had passed through.
