People who can’t just sit down.

Bees and wasps what don’t mind they-own beeswax (pun vaguely intended). ’cause why-you taking a nap in my cup of coffee? Respect the boundary, fam.

1. Erasure.

2. Toxic perversion draped up as red-bloodedness.

[Redway]

3. People who can’t accept difference in opinions.

4. People who think that having a potentially romantic or sexual interest in women gives them credence to not want to watch women competing against each-other in sports (like boxing). It wouldn’t fly the other way around, because the hypocrisy/self-serving double-standards would be extremely obvious and it’s respected there that people are people and shouldn’t be restricted from their hobbies and passions just in-case you want to kiss or bang one in your dreams. It’s a very condescending, infantilising flavour of misogynistic that comes from a thinly-veiled nice-guy veneer who’s “speaking out of concern.” Absolutely vile. You’ve got to leave the urge to inherently sexualise people sometimes to value their humanity and see them as they truly are, unbounded by stereotype and gendered expectations. People are fluid, and objectification reduces that acknowledgment. More to this, though, I hate when the premise of “concern” is used to objectify, judge or used to cloak and pattern feelings of control or superiority. That’s not okay. And it’s not innocent. It’s an attitude that actively does harm to the dignity of other people. Feigned protectiveness is more about possessiveness and ego than the person themselves, and it’s inherently deeply, deeply manipulative.

“But I’m still a nice guy, and that should be obvious.” Anyone can claim to be any fruit but there’s still a difference between an apple and a banana. So it jars when people say that to defend their misogyny.

If someone only sees value in women who mirror their experiences or meet their aesthetic standard, they don’t truly see women; they see tools for emotional or visual gratification. And it’s a manipulation-pattern that too many allow themselves to be gaslit into tolerating it or downplaying its harmfulness. And gaslighting is inherently abusive. I really don’t envy women in relationships with guys like that. It can sometimes turn coercive. It’s intentionally engaging with the most commodified portrayals of women, all-while ridiculing actual women in positions of authority, voice or athleticism. It’s semi-predatory. It’s narcissistic consumption that Dr Ramani would have a field-day with.

Are you talking about the 80's Music group?

I’m not, buddy. I’m talking about the general practice.

Fair enough.

Yes and Debbie's dementia in current storylines will probably progress very fast too.

To be fair, they did say that her storyline’s gonna stretch into 2027 but even-so, they should not be getting rid of a character like Debbie in the first place. She’s too vibrant (and in a good way) to lose unnecessarily. There’s far too much misery on modern Corrie as it is.

Ah right, that's good then. And I agree, Debbie is a gem of a character. Silly to get rid.

We know a family who live in a very old house with ridiculously low doorways and they were 6’ 2” or about except the mum /wife who was 5’10” .. thankfully they soon got used to ducking and claimed it wasn’t an issue

People that talk in Social Media lingo in general.

Saying things like "sassy" "lit" "queen" "fire" etc etc.

I'm not saying you're a bad person if you use these words, but it does annoy me.

My bin collection now being a Monday morning. The 'oh **** it's bin day tomorrow' hits different when you're knackered on a Sunday evening and about to go to bed. So much easier to forget about it on a Sunday with everything else going on. Also a nightmare when you're away for the weekend

Monday and Tuesday are the only days I’ve ever had to reckon with for bin-collection personally.

Ours is normally Friday which is perfect.. except hurricanes and storms mess up all our pickup. So usually Recycle gets picked up alongside our trash. It ends up a few days to a week or so later because they pull people from Recycle to put towards Normal Trash+Heavy Trash/storm debris and then we end up with months of waiting for the schedule to get back to normal again. It catches up for a few weeks and then another storm hits and we get messed up again. So the green bins (Recycle) live on the curb and kill everything underneath...

The schedule is still not normal. Recently they missed an entire month of Recycle and then came to pick it up (finally), but then broke our normal trashcan on the same day. So now even though we can pull in our Recycle after a few days, our trashcan has to be left upside down until they pick it up and replace. It's been almost a month since that happened. So we have to tip it back up on Fridays to put bags we've set aside (gross), because they're taking their time...

Sorry for the ramble. I really needed to talk trash apparently.

Edit: Fixed for readability

If it’s a Tesco then I couldn’t care, charge them all you want because they’re making money hand over fist (and during a cost of living crisis too) but for local businesses, especially ones which are probably struggling, as an inconvenience as it is I’m happy to look past it and pay cash.

Yeah, no, I get that; I do. It’s just a big inconvenience.

My biggest gripe of recent is that people can't seem to park in the center of a spot so I end up parking further back because I'm afraid that the other person won't be able to get into their vehicle if I park in such a way that I can get out of my vehicle.

I don't know if it's exactly because vehicles have gotten wider on average (also possible) or because people just care less about parking in the center. I think it's the latter because it seems to have degraded along with general driving conditions in the city... people seem to have forgotten just how much power is in their hands while they're out on the road...
