rant thread

mine below

Re: rant thread

[(Anonymous)]

ranting here because this is driving me insane. you know when you're sitting there in the same room with someone and the person insists on loudly reacting to something in order to get your attention? like you're busy reading or checking your phone or w/e else and the other person is watching something on tv or a video on their computer and they can't help but exclaim loudly about how they can't believe what some celebrity said or how shocking something was, while glancing at you every now and then to see if you're paying attention yet?

drives me fucking nuts. listen asshole i'm not even watching the tv show, i have no idea what you're talking about, i don't care why you find the color blue so appalling for something i clearly haven't been paying attention to nor do i care if two characters i don't know in a show i don't watch have done some thing and it's terrible, and your attempts to grab my attention with your verbal-clickbait-in-real-life antics is obvious and painful

i can't stand people that do this

How dare they try to communicate socially, or involve you in a group activity. How fucking dare they, hey Brian, COME LOOK AT THIS FUCKWAD HERE. c'MON!

Careful with that edge mate.

Re: rant thread

Perhaps leaving the room and moving to a quiet place where your delicate sensibilities won't be disturbed by raucous television watchers might help?

Re: rant thread

[nanslice]

omg I know exactly what you mean. There's this girl in one of my classes who makes sure to laugh SO LOUDLY when she's on her phone, while surreptitiously glancing over at other people in the class to see if we're interested in whatever she's looking at. UGH.

Okay

Not OP, but I think everyone's missing his or her point.

OP ISN'T saying "people walk in the room and talk to me." OP says "when people can tell I'm busy, they decide to distract me until I have to listen to them."

Imagine a five year old kid poking their parent and kicking their feet against the walls until Mommy has to give him what he wants. That's what the OP is talking about.

This is basically my parents and to some extent my boyfriend.

You have my condolences.

My dad's newthing is asking if I have windows 10 yet incessantly (I don't want it) and talking about how great WhatsApp is even though I do not have a smartphone, preferably at the exact moment I'm trying to send out CV's.

Re: rant thread

[(Anonymous)]

So...use your words. Better yet, don't be in the room while they are watching TV/you are checking your phone.

I swear you are trying too hard to be offended by something that isn't malicious in the least.

Re: rant thread

I decided to air out some grievances I have with a group of friends that have been causing me anxiety lately (relating to my self-esteem issues which certain group behaviors have made worse). I figured I best use Skype since I didn't think I could do this particular talk face-to-face. Problem is that some of the people haven't answered, and my anxiety is killing me (I've thrown up, I jump everytime I get a new message).

The grievance airing was such a messy emotional message that I feel ashamed to ask for people to reply to it. I feel ashamed I put it there in the first place. I fear I might have ruined things.

Oh god, can I just change towns and never ever talk to anyone ever again?

Re: rant thread

[(Anonymous)]

what did you say? is the message an easy one to respond to? they may not know what to say

Re: rant thread

[(Anonymous)]

Not be harsh, but if a friend/acquaintance tried to message me so they could "air out some grievances", I would be less than thrilled and wonder why this wasn't an e-mail instead. ESPECIALLY if it's a "you're causing me anxiety" message. I think the only time I'd find this level of confrontation acceptable is if you've already spoken to me about the issue and I'm still continuing whatever behavior is bothering you and also oh yeah, for some reason your e-mail is broken.

I'm very protective of my free time and I would not like for a real time conversation to be initiated just for this purpose. If it's as emotionally messy as you say, that's a good reason to sit down and write out your message carefully, then let people have as much time as they need to process it. It'd improve your chances of a considered reply.

This also makes me wary:

"...oh, it's just that I don't want to disappoint these people, and I feel way beneath them and that's why I'm anxious."

... yeah. I get that people are insecure and anxious sometimes. I am, too! But that's my thing to handle. Telling other people that ooh, you feel so inferior etc. etc. is... weird. Like, what are they supposed to do with that information? What are you asking them to do to change that, when it sounds like an issue that's caused by your anxiety?

Only one thing to do now. Kill yourself.

Two rants

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like I'm too nerdy for some internet circles, not enough for others. This makes it hard to find fandoms, because I'm not into a lot of geek/nerd things that have them, and it also makes it hard to discuss the things I like because the only people also discussing them just say "I liked it" or "I didn't like it" and are lost when you press further. It's weird because this has included things I know have nerd/geek followings, even if they're not sci fi/fantasy books/movies/shows.

On a related note, I miss when the internet still had a sense of humor. I don't mean in the sense that everything turns into social justice wank - I mean in the sense that I don't feel I can be fun anymore. There's definitely drama in my life right now, but I don't want to talk about that the way my friends do. I want to actually laugh and make jokes and be completely dorky and quirky and silly. I don't mind if other people want to talk about their problems, that's totally fine and I am more than willing to listen, but are we really not allowed to have fun anymore? And if there IS humor on the internet, it's angry and sardonic and cynical. Or creepy dudebro humor. ("Five Girls You'll Fuck in College." I'm guessing I am not your target audience...)

I mean... FFS. Have a fucking laugh. About something not dudebroish or cynical.

IA with both, so so so hard.

And frankly I expect most people on F!S agree with both

Re: Two rants

[(Anonymous)]

Both of those problems sounds like you're not hanging out with the crowd that's right for you.

"On a related note, I miss when the internet still had a sense of humor."

This doesn't even make any sense. The internet isn't homogeneous about anything, never mind something as subjective as humor.

Re: Two rants

[elaminator]

and it also makes it hard to discuss the things I like because the only people also discussing them just say "I liked it" or "I didn't like it" and are lost when you press further

I'm like this about certain things that I haven't watched/played/read in a long, long time, which is why I try not to mention them or comment on them in the first place (and if I do, I try to make it clear I'm not the world's biggest fan); I know I'm not going to be the best conversationalist.

Then there are certain things I can talk in length about but the people I know either don't want to, or get tired of it after awhile. *shrugs* It happens.

I hate the term legbeard. There's nothing wrong with women having leg hair. It's not as if leg hair gets really stinky and gross like armpit hair, so why are people so opposed to it?

Re: rant thread

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, I recognize that for several reasons the analogy isn't precise, but I'm pretty sure people only use the term legbeard in the first place because the term neckbeard exists

Re: rant thread

Why do people think non-family members care about every single thing their kid said and did?

Cute anecdotes are great. Milestones are awesome. Concerns are important to discuss. But I don't care that Blake has Boy Scouts tonight.

Same thing applies to other personal stuff. You're redecorating your kitchen? Great! You're pulling out plans because you think I'm interested beyond than that... well, shit.

Re: rant thread

Small stupid rant but...

I wish there was a way to look up infamously dramatic people and whatever they're infamous for and just get the facts without having to trudge through the den of "Offensive on purpose lel" assholery that is ED.

Re: rant thread

[(Anonymous)]

I hate the new Tumblr-grammar practice of ending your sentences/posts with a comma. I don't get where it comes from or how it became code for "I'm pretending my opinion is a hard fact and I'm going to cry oppression if you tell me it's not."

Re: rant thread

Yet again, I've had a guy insist that I'm going to cheat on my SO because he isn't super wealthy and doesn't constantly buy me shit. It doesn't matter that I haven't, doesn't matter that I've said I won't, it's INEVITABLE. Someday, I'll cheat on him, even if I think I won't and have no intention too because I'm a woman and not in control of such things.

Sorry bros, I know my mind and heart better than you do, and the reason you believe in AWALT is because you carefully edit every instance that goes against it. It didn't happen, it's the calm before the storm, or it's a trick. You're conspiracy theorists, and your favorite conspiracy is women.

There's this guy I work with, and I hate to rant about him because he's a sweet kid, but he's an absolute nimrod and he's terrible at his job. Worse, because I helped him out when he was first starting, he's latched onto me like a limpet, and he'll bother me to fix/answer something for him EVEN IF I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF HELPING A CUSTOMER. We have radios for a reasonnnnnn ask someone that isn't busyyyyyyy

But I think he's about to get fired, too. He has a second job he just got, which is fine, but he's seriously neglecting this one in favor of it, and he's not really shy about it. I don't think he understands why that's frustrating our head manager so much. (Double the shame, since she's one of the nicest women alive, I swear.) I feel kind of bad for him, but at the same time, hhhhhh. It's a bad fit, and I'm frustrated too.

A "fuck-you" to the guy who interrupted Sanjay's Super Team to ask me if he was in the right theatre.
