People with poor personal hygiene are rude. I'm talking about the ones who use public transport or go to any sort of place where there's people stuck in close proximity and force their stench upon everyone else. A bar of soap costs mere pennies and will easily fix it, so there's no excuse. I don't care what you do at home, but if you're bringing yourself along to places where other people are, you take those people into consideration and don't just inflict your gross smell upon them.

Or they just use soap/after shave that smells like hell. I swear there's some soap/shower soap here everyone uses and it smells like public toilets.

I agree with this, like 99%. You have to give the benefit of the doubt to homeless people though or people that are struggling. You don’t know what someone might be going through or their situation. Sometimes food is a necessity over everything else that personal hygiene might not be ideal at the time. I understand where you’re coming from though. There was this older guy I used to work with at McDonald’s and he used to smell everyday. He was basically homeless but he had a car he was staying in. It wasn’t an ideal situation but nobody said anything.

Also — “you” is referring to in general, not you specifically.



I don't like Shino. She isn't that appealing.
Yes. I find her horns and her appearance weird.

Agreed. It's not hard to smell good. Legit homeless people are a whole other thing but I'm talking about those who have a place to live: buy some soap. Dollar stores have it.
It also just blows my mind. I would be horrified walking around like that, not to mention it feels gross to be all greasy. If they use the mindset of "idc" then... do they like their own stench? I guess?

Ohh for sure re homeless people, because they can't so much as change clothes very easily, let alone wash. People who can afford to eat regularly and have somewhere to stay have no excuse.
 
yeah, ive known people who have body odor and they think cologne hides it, but it just mixes the two smells. if u dont know anyone like that thank god ur so lucky.

i also dont like any of the new 2.0 villagers
 
I strongly dislike streaming services. They're causing the quick ruin of many industries, especially rental companies, movie theaters, drive-in's, etc.

Even though the services have their place when it comes to original shows from their studios, it's sad to see so many in-person experiences slowly fading away.

I'm happy streaming services is a thing. Movie theaters have always been ridiculously overpriced so for them to 'take a hit' is nice. But that's my pettiness talking lol.

But I am sad that in person things are kinda fading. Like online shopping vs in person shopping at a store. Lots of stores around where I am are suffering. Their stock is low but meanwhile online you can buy loads more things so why go to the store? It sucks cause as much as I adore online shopping, I love going to the store and actually feeling the items I'm buying.
 
I don’t understand why people get working dog breeds as house pets. Everyone’s unhappy in that situation.

I agree. The only ones I use are like the public service free ones if they put up old series not available on tv/dvd or to watch re-runs of stuff I missed.

I don't care for "original" series these days since a lot of them are just remakes/not original stuff/teen pc things and yeah I think it takes away a lot of the creative stuff from when stuff was actually made for an actual TV (or cinema etc.)

Also cinema are the best place to watch movies, or TV/DVD if I can catch those.

Also unpopular onion: I actually like that Pokémon Sword/Shield aren't graphics heavy and rather "easy" compared to sm/usum. The latter were my least fave games and this is actually a nice break. Like there was no way Ninty would do like Botw graphics and do the s/m gfx thing to force people to purchase a new console just for it. Plus I like when exp share is on, training without it is just p a i n.
 
Schools and prisons should force teens/misdemeanor convicts to work at least two weeks in customer service.
The self-entitlement of the average consumer has gotten beyond ridiculous, and with hiring rates at an all-time stall more places could open up and catch up with the workload.

You can always tell who hasn’t worked a day in their life.

i mean, i'm not really sure how that would help? maybe instead businesses could start actually pushing back against rude, entitled customers and the whole "the customer is right" mentality and actually stick up for their underpaid workers? like, people would probably be more open to working these jobs if they weren't expected to put up with literal abuse from both customers as well as their employers.

In the uk we had to do a mandatory 2 weeks at an entry level job around the age of 15. I think it was because we used to officially leave mandatory education at 16. Education beyond that was optional, so I assume the idea was to set those up that wanted to go straight into work. The age of leaving education here was changed to 18 a couple of years ago, though apprenticeships etc now count as education too. If you don't pass secondary school level English and Maths, you have to continue doing them either until you pass or until you turn 18. I sort of assume covid would've prevented work experience from happening easily with schools.

I agree with you, it's the best way to teach people, by letting them experience the environment themselves. I hate seeing people being so rude to retail workers and restaurant workers etc. Occasionally I will tell them to chill out, if they're clearly upsetting someone. It's a real pet peeve and one way to instantly put me off someone, if they're rude to people just trying to work.

Yep! Also they end up dumped at a shelter more often, cos the owner can't handle them. There's a woman local to me who has 6 collies in a tiny one bed flat. She walks them without leads and they just run everywhere, all neurotic and out of control. They're working dogs ffs, it's cruel.

By far though, the breed that cannot seem to handle domestic life the most is German Shepherds (unless very well cared for and excercised a lot, every single day). They're police dogs. Guard dogs even. Way too many I have known to just suddenly snap one day and attack someone. Plus for a while, people were getting them as status dogs and they're the type of people who shouldn't have dogs in the first place. I think the worst incident I remember with a German Shepherd was this one that got stung by a bee and went on an absolute rampage before getting hit by a car. Attacked several people, including kids on their way to school. Probably rare that it goes that far, but too many I have known to "suddenly turn". It's because they're working dogs. Working dogs are neurotic and can't channel it appropriately if not given a job.
