Pet Peeves

[SneakySecrets]

Know it all atheists, I am one so don’t think im a holy roller, but at a party and some dick starts a full on rant about “how stupid belief in god“. Ok buddy you’re smarter than everyone we get it.  Atheist equivalent of a church sermon.   

Some priest said that it takes much more blind faith to believe that there is no God than believing there is one. 

I found that to be kind of profound.

It’s pretty presumptuous to think that we could know anything at all about the true nature of God from our tiny little vantage point.

I'm not a fan of "my guy". "Bruh" is pretty bad too.

Bruh is a direct threat.  My guy is a half step away. Likely, they are begging to be punched.

Can't stand "buddy." There's always a level of sarcasm and condescension involved.

I’d like to add “boss” to the list... the most condescending of them all in my opinion.  “My guy” is pretty tough to beat though.

what about when someone you don’t know calls you “brother”? not brotha but brother really enunciated by usually a white dude? that one kinda throws me off. I think it’s meant to be friendly.

probably touched on, but the concept of being "Hangry"

it's like PMS'ing (which in many studies has been proven a societal/culturally conditioned copout), but just being completely self absorbed. of course it sucks being hungry, but nobody is REALLY starving.

sorry you haven't had your fucking avocado toast, YET.

take a second, quit being a bitch, and exercise some perseverance.

so how long have you been an incel for

the bliss of female love just isn't good enough for me

[landedprimo]

you can’t get sick from being cold .. it’s scienc e

You can't get sick from the cold itself. But you can get sick from being in the cold. Your body has to work harder to keep from freezing, thus affecting your immune system's ability to fend off invasions.

I used to have this argument with an older friend of mine because I'd tell my kids to not go outside with shoes and a coat when it was cold.

There was this hog fucker I used to work with that would do this shit inside the building. Didn't matter where he was. I was working on something and had to kneel on the floor to do so. I got up to get more tools and came back to see he spit right where I was kneeling. Shit got real, real fast. Fucking cunt bag.

The shoulder bag.


It is less functional than a backpack, blatantly states one's peacock factor, and usually is adorned with a horrible taste in pants. Why? Someone on here that runs these dorky things give me some logic. Please. I'll listen open minded on it.

are you talking about messenger bags, or those stupid trendy fanny packs that go over your shoulder?

[straight]

i hope messenger bags cuz it sounds like you rock them and i gotta hear this

[the snake]

Ha those ladies bags for men, I see, reported !

[shit_for_brains]

Anything above a neutral colored Amazon basics backpack (the version that is $17.82 NOT the $29 model) is ostentatious.

[Yushin Okami]

It really grinds my gears when I go to use the microwave at my office and I see there is :17 seconds left. Ok, I get you wanted your hot pocket or whatever quicker but if you open the microwave before the timer goes off, please hit clear.

I think he means bags similar to these:



I'm not too into those above but I have one of these, which is similar but has a larger volume capacity than most of those pseudo waist-bags that 75% of NYers that aren't filmers rock:



Pabst, my reason for owning this: A backpack is too big for the things I usually take out skating or even if I'm going out for a bit. This bag fits a water bottle, a tool, a book, a snack, and a portable charger or P&S camera. I usually have a thin, easily tucked away tote bag in there too in case I pick up other stuff throughout the day. Also, a backpack's coverage causes me to sweat easily while this smaller bag is less prone to do that. You don't know me but I'm not one to flaunt & my pants aren't wild, just your average blue or brown chinos and blue jeans.

[ChuckRamone]

those small bags are perfect for skating. I use one ‘cause I don’t need a full-size bag usually.

Correcto, I’m referring to those.

Questions.
How does it stay in the middle of your back while you’re pushing? Does the sack travel towards your hip when weighted with items?

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

They're only designed to carry a unit tool, a pack of light blue American Spirits, and a small carton of coconut water. Any more weight and you're on your own.

Yes, the Patagonia one I have does & that's the most annoying part about it. But it's worth it and there's a solution: There's an extra strap that wraps the opposite way across the body from the main strap, stabilizing the bag's position. Works perfect.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

i have this, it was cheap, it is pretty comfy, light, small, and practical.

[JB]

i hope messenger bags cuz it sounds like you rock them and i gotta hear this

I carry this to and from work. I guess it could be a messenger bag because it has a strap, but i usually just hold it brief case style. I don't need to carry too much stuff, so a backpack is kinda like overkill. I can fit a laptop and a few notebooks and usually my lunch in this and thats all I need.

The fanny pack things posted above are definitely stupid looking, but I could see how it would be practical if you were carrying a camera or something.

I also don't like taking a bag skating because everyone goes "hey, can I put my stuff in your bag?" then you wind up carrying everyones shit.

So it’s like wearing a backpack but instead of putting both straps over your shoulders you put one over your shoulder and one under your armpit.

Thus, is why I’m bothered by them. Today marks the day I am officially a  curmudgeoned old person shaking their fist into the void and now the pet peace is reality and mirrors.


Edit:
TL;DR- smaller backpack plz.

That’s the absolute worst. It goes beyond skating too. I shouldn’t be weighed down by your lack of planning.
