It's have, not of

May have, could have, would have, should have. Not may of, could of, would of or should of. Will have, not will of. Dammit people. I teach English as a foreign language, for the love of God stop it.

I was waiting to pick up my wife then this dude approaches our car, grabs the mirror so he can shoot up.

People who stand way too close to you

10 Upvotes

I know in some cultures it’s not seen as bad so they do it in America but it freaks me out when you’re close enough to kiss my neck. I turn around and you’re five inches away. It frustrates me but I try to be understanding, I really do but I don’t even have elbow room. The first time I thought they were trying to pickpocket me. Nope! Just really comfortable in some else’s space.

Cleaning the litter box only for your cat to immediately crap on the floor and in the bathtub.

Sometimes I feel like people themselves make a mockery of their religion

1 Upvotes

So, there was a Gauri Agman at my cousin's house, and she brought pedhas as prashad. We had dinner, and afterward, I brushed my teeth. When she offered me prashad, I told her I'd already brushed my teeth, so I didn't want to eat anything.

Then she started saying things about how I'd face the consequences for refusing prashad. I don't remember her exact words, but she was being aggressive and using foul language while saying all this in the name of God.

Like, what the actual fuck? I literally just brushed my teeth after dinner. I didn't insult the prashad or say anything against God. I simply didn't want to eat anything afterward. Why did that have to turn into a whole scene?

and this isn't the first time I've noticed people doing things in the name of religion that make me question their behaviour.

It's not just about prashad, either. Forcing beliefs on others, making people feel guilty, threatening them with God's punishment, or acting morally superior because of certain religious practices. People justify so many things in the name of faith.

And the irony is that they do all this while claiming to be doing it for God.

How can you talk about devotion and faith while treating another person like shit over something so insignificant? Does religion really become more important than basic human decency?

I feel like there's a difference between practising your religion and using it as an excuse to control other people.

Sometimes, I genuinely feel like people themselves are the reason their own religion gets mocked. Not because of what their religion teaches, but because of what they choose to do in its name.

Whatever you're wearing stinks! Must you insist on subjecting me to this? After you move, your odor lingers for hours.

Why is packaging so loud/pain in the ---?

0 Upvotes

I mainly notice this at work, but many times at home as well>>>why does every box, bag, wrapper, can, etc. require an act of congress to open, therefore being so loud?

Todays work example: co-worker comes in with McDonalds, getting the stuff out of the paper bag *loud bag noises*, then the wrapper on the sandwich *shuffling the wrapper!!!!*, then more with the paper bag getting napkins, then *bang bang bang* opening the straw followed by the horrible straw into plastic lid *screeeeeech*. One would think that's when the hell ends but no. 20 minutes later is the clean up, balling everything up and putting everything in the paper bag and crunching it all together.

I know someone is going to tell me that i have some sort of a -tism and I don't think that is it. When trying to open a box of sodas we are almost required to punch the cans to break that seal on a 12 pack. In order to open a bag of cereal you have to either pull it apart with the force of the Hulk or get scissors (really!) and pray you have just the right amount of pressure to pull open the bag, but not make the ground a new covering of frosted flakes.

To follow-up, its 2026...can we get "easy open" packaging that is actually easy open, can we get sandwich bag open and closures on cereal, crackers, cookies. Not every fast food bag needs a sticker holding it closed and why is the sticker the only thing that truly does its job? I haven't had a fast food napkin truly clean up a spill in like a decade!

Why do you pee on the seat?

Ok people, specifically the ones who stand when they pee, why do you insist on peeing all over the seat? You know people sit there and yet it probably happens every single time. Can you not just grab a little piece of toilet paper to avoid touching it or just use your foot to have the slightest bit of common decency? Don’t even get me started on the giant puddle directly below the urinal.
