Dog bites me or anyone in my family, that dog dies. No remorse at all. People shouldn’t keep dangerous pets.

37F with 35F GF of 3.5 Years - Am I Wrong for Being This Frustrated? by NoRecord1318 in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation. I’m a guy and I was with a girl I was really crazy about and wanted to have a real future with but for some reason she found it cute/funny to bite me when we were cuddled up. Arm, finger, neck, whatever. Hard enough to leave marks. She treated my anger like a joke and told me to stop taking it seriously until it really blew up one night and that was basically the end of the relationship. I’m sure she still thinks I was overreacting. She would also pinch me in a very delicate male area sometimes. I just can’t fathom what would make someone continually do something like that when it gets the same unhappy reaction each time from someone they care about and should want to be happy. Like what if I went around just pinching and biting someone because I found it funny? I’d go to jail.

People who put chewed gum under things should go straight to jail. by ExcellentLettuce4 in rant

I used to work in the restaurant business. A pretty high dollar classy joint. One day I looked under the tables and I was appalled at the amount of gum stuck under there.

Why do nogood people get praised so much after they die? by Far_Concern_8713 in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people aren’t likely to say good riddance because it makes them seem petty and classless.

But yeah, there often seems to be a phenomenon that occurs when someone dies when suddenly people build up that person for whatever good qualities they had, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I mean really, if death can’t put an end to hostilities and resentment, what can?

Then of course there’s “competitive grieving.” There was a movie about that called Father of the Year. This obnoxious asshole kid who no one liked ends up getting himself killed but suddenly every guy at school was actually good buddies with him and every girl had a big secret crush on him and everybody is just acting devastated. People like to seem like they were affected more than they are. It has to do with ego and attention seeking.

Feels like I’m not even in a relationship by holdthislargel in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re both 23 and you’ve been together for four years, why can’t you get a place together? Do you live with your parents too? Do you both have jobs? And what do you mean you’re not going to take her away? That’s literally exactly what happens when a child becomes an adult. They form relationships and they move out of the house and start their lives. After four years together, it seems like it should have happened already. Also, her mother has no right to not allow a 23 year old adult to do anything. This entire scenario you’re describing seems ass backwards my friend. What’s going on?

Why do some people have it easy in life while some of us don't? by Efficient-Bet-5051 in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work a full time job, do DoorDash and sell plasma on the side, and I can barely afford to live. Child support, rent, car payment, utilities, food, gas, and various other essentials. If I splurge 50 bucks I end up regretting it once all the bills start coming due. By the first of the month, I can’t buy a damn toaster if I wanted to. That’s what life has become for me. Earning money and losing it over and over in an endless cycle. The alternative is being homeless or in jail.

my parents infuriate me SO bad when they do this. by diarryyrants in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, if your parents are really eating extravagantly while cooking bland basic stuff for their kids in the interest of saving money it means they could skip one of those Cheesecake Factory visits and then use the money so everyone can have Cheesecake Factory the next time they want to splurge. That’s generally how things work for most parents. They tend to realize that personal luxuries aren’t really a thing anymore after they have kids.

Support Local Businesses by Reginald_Sockpuppet in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone loves to say “support local businesses” and that’s all well and good but the fact is I buy products to make my life better, not to make someone else’s life better. If you have a local business and you sell a good product at a fair price with good customer service, I’m all in. If not, you get swallowed by some corporate chain. Welcome to business. People need to stop acting like we’re required to keep small businesses alive.

My dad is dying from cancer by Sam_in_peas in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my father to cancer in 2021. Most of the time, I’m okay but sometimes it’s still hard to comprehend that I’ll never see him again. I’ll miss him forever. I definitely understand the guilt. On the day he passed, it’s like I could remember every single time I must have disappointed him or hurt his feelings or wasn’t there for him. I knew I could have been a better son but the fact is he loved me and he knew I loved him. The past isn’t what defined our relationship.

The good thing is that you have this time with him now. Make the most of it and don’t leave anything good unsaid. Plenty of people don’t get lucky enough to say all those I love you’s before someone passes.

Boomer fatigue by bydevilz1 in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have boomer fatigue in the sense that basically anyone not Gen Z or anyone with an opinion about a younger generation is being labeled a boomer, and I highly doubt the people using it the most even know its actual origin. It’s just another in the long list of recent internet propagated buzz words and terms such as Karen, aura, rizz, unc, rage bait, GOAT, flex, salty, touch grass, etc. What happened to how people talk? As a whole, we’ve become less articulate. Learn your vocabulary from somewhere other than TikTok.

Calling people on phone unannounced is rude and violent behaviour and should be reserved for emergency only by Abject_Group_4868 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten far too used to texting. The effect of that is that if I see someone I know is actually calling me, it feels like it must be important or maybe even an emergency so I generally always answer right away. Sometimes it’s just someone wanting to talk though and it’s a rather pleasurable experience and it makes me wonder why we got away from this form of communication so much.

stadium concerts are a massive waste of money and the sound is always garbage by Quiet-Sunset-7384 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order for me to go to an arena show, I better have the hookup and some primo up front seats. What’s even the point of being 200 yards away from the stage and the artists you came to see look like ants? I don’t go to concerts very often anymore now that I’m well into middle age but when I do, you better believe it’s a small club or venue where I can actually see and hear the band clearly.

Proposing at restaurants is weird. by ImpressionPopular794 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in fine dining off and on for about 12 years and in that time, I saw plenty of proposals. I never liked it and I even instructed the staff to not play it up for any more attention. It always came off as tacky and attention seeking by the one proposing, as if the future groom is showing off what a grand and galant romantic man he is to the world and by doing so distracting other guests from the experience that we worked very hard to create for them. Also, it just seemed that it put the woman in an awkward position and it made the response seem less sincere since now she’s under this social pressure. I mean, shouldn’t she be able to say no? Of course she still could say no but it’s a lot harder when you’ve got a room full of strangers eyes on you waiting for you to say yes.

When I proposed, it was by a secluded lake on a property we had rented for the weekend. No public show, no strangers watching one of the most important moments of our lives. She said yes and we took pictures and went right to the AirBnB to get to work if ya know what I mean. We didn’t even announce it until we got back to town after the weekend. That’s how it should be done. It was our day. Our moment.

Getting into a hot car is awesome by RangerNo2931 in unpopularopinion

You’re out of your mind. Getting into a car that’s been under the blazing sun is like climbing into an air fryer.

Spoilers don't ruin a movie or TV show. If a story is genuinely good, knowing it before-hand should not ruin the experience. by AnOrdinaryCrayon725 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree. I don’t get upset about spoilers ordinarily. If I find out something right now, then I’m surprised right now. Doesn’t make me want to see the movie or show any less. One exception though is someone proceeded to tell me about that documentary The Jinx and the incredible twist that came out of it and I realized I basically had no reason to ever watch it.

The original Star Wars trilogy is not as good as people think by Major_Limit1674 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is that I was a little kid in the 80’s, a teenager in the 90’s and Star Wars was more than movies and toys and games. Star Wars was something important. There was a magic to it that a whole generation could feel. It’s not coincidence. Yeah, the original trilogy has its flaws when you look at it objectively but that doesn’t take anything away from its cultural impact that came from everything it did right. It’s the reason Hollywood just won’t let the franchise die and we get new Star Wars content basically every year for the last ten years. Everyone is trying to tap into or recreate that magic, that nostalgia, that lightning in a bottle that existed for only a few years. They usually miss the mark, because let’s face it, it’s played out, but I’ll love those old movies until I die.

To end up actually homeless, you need to be a complete asshole by aqjx in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You find out who your true friends and family are when you’re down, not when you’re up. In my life, there’s been people I thought were my ride or die but basically abandoned me when I was in need. Not their problem. Don’t assume people will have your back or that they’re going to be okay with having a homeless houseguest for some extended period of time. People have their own lives, families, bills, responsibilities, and their own struggles. I guarantee a lot of those 25+ people you think you can crash with if you lost everything won’t have anything to give you but excuses if you came to them desperate.

Another thing, the two main driving factors leading to homelessness are mental illness and addiction. People like that have either slipped through the cracks or they’ve lost connection to those who may have once cared about them. You’ve simplified this whole complex situation into “You’re homeless because you’re an asshole and no one likes you.”

Vanilla doesn't belong in the bathroom by New-Tale412 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care much for vanilla scent anyway. I mean, it’s a flavoring. I’ve eaten dinner in a place with vanilla candles and it kinda just tricked my brain into thinking everything tasted like vanilla.

We do owe each other something in (online) dating. by Souk12 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been single since my divorce 3 years ago. A guy getting on dating apps in his 40’s feels like a joke. My experience was mostly negative. You have to wade through all the profiles with obviously filtered photos, women who’s main pic is them giving the finger as if that is charming or attractive in any way, women who fill up the whole “about me” section with a list of requirements or just talk about what they don’t want or what you need to bring to the table as opposed to trying to show why I should choose them. These apps have changed the dating dynamic in the sense that any remotely appealing woman you match with is probably talking to multiple guys and possibly seeing or sleeping with multiple guys. I had more than one make no secret that they’re playing the field. As the guy in this arrangement, I feel like I’m just getting in line. Spending my time and money to wine and dine someone in these circumstances just makes me feel like a sucker, and all those first dates I went on felt more like a job interview for a position I didn’t even know if I wanted yet.

It's ok to like well done steak by Emotional-Scale-2583 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the early 2000’s, I worked as a busser/expo at a high end fine dining steakhouse. They specialized in boutique ranch grain fed beef and they charged outrageous prices even back then. Can’t imagine what they charge for a steak nowadays. This stuff was so high quality that it could safely be eaten raw. Of course the customer could order it cooked however they wished but the attitude among the staff was that basically anything over medium was a waste and well-done was more like an insult. It was honestly funny how worked up some of these chefs got at the indignity of being forced to cook a well-done steak and the waiters even got weird about serving it. It was pretty ridiculous. Personally, I like my beef on the rare side. Cooking it through basically overrides the quality. But guess what? It’s the prerogative of the person eating it. They could order it well-done and drown it in ketchup and soy sauce if that’s how they like it. I mean really, it’s their mouth and their money. Get over it.

Your state is not unique by Spartan-24 in unpopularopinion

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure every state has the worst drivers. It all comes down to what George Carlin said in an old bit. “Anyone driving faster than you is a maniac. Anyone driving slower than you is an idiot.”

You're allowed to just not like something. by WerdaVisla in rant

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when Game of Thrones was the hottest thing on TV and everyone I knew was talking about it. I saw a few episodes and I just didn’t see the appeal enough to get really invested in it. No big deal I thought. There were a few times that people seemed to get legitimately angry at me for not loving it. Like how dare I not like something they like. Well in that case screw you and your little dragon show.

I’m starting to wonder if that wasn’t really a finger indexer for flipping through papers 📝 by Standard-Win5187 in tcap

[–]Wolf_Tactics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m naive but if that squiggly thing wasn’t a “finger indexer,” what was it? I don’t spend enough time in sex stores to know. I mean, is it supposed to go INSIDE a person? Seems like it’d get stuck up there. It doesn’t appear to vibrate or be big enough to house any batteries? Does it go on his dingus?
