High schoolers decided to use a damn mushroom as their model for haircuts.
Wait till you guys see Ket Wigs as a fashion statement, honestly it's been a thing here for the last few years and it just looks like oyu lost a fight with a angry lawnmower.
Why the fuck would you be taking the bill if you've sent it out to these magical collection agencies you can't give me the names of, faggot?
I can answer this one even as a bong - they have multiple "agencies" they sell the debt too at auction, it starts at £10 value of debt and goes all the way up to multiple millions but the sweet spot according to someone I know who worked in that field for a while (he had no other option) was the £500 - £3000 debt bracket as they where considerd the most likely to pay and have assets they wish to keep.
Fucking vanlife influencers.
There is a Smith on YT I am subscribed to and he's tried to help his vanlife daughter and her BF out, he's a legitimately nice bloke but his daughter just seems to follow trends and wants to be popular, you can see it hurts him doing it but it's the only thing he can do to help her other than tossing money her way, and he does want her to be better but she rebuffd him a lot in her teens so he's using this as a way to maintain contact with her.
The obsession with race today. I miss the time (i.e the 90s/2000s) when we all got along together and race barely crossed our minds, before identity politics swooped in and destroyed it. Good times, man.
In my lifetime I've seen it go from "Noracisim" to "We're not racist" to "some racisim" to "YOUR THE MOST RACIST THING TO EXIST EVER", In my primary school class I had 3 Chinese kids, and 5 Black Kids and non of us thought anything about it we where just kids who all got along and I looked up a few of my old classmates once just to see how things where going and 2 of the kids have become race baiters.
I hate having to decipher email addresses verbally. They'll speak it so fast, then get mad when you ask them to slow down.
I'm kinda lucky that my emails are nearly all
first.last@domain.com but I have access to a cheap office 365 subscription so I use it when Libre office wont do (a lot of excel stuff) and it's hell trying to talk to the indian on the other end of a shitty VOIP line to verify your account - In the end I worked out the problem and fixed it myself but fucking hell that was a torture for 30 minutes.
Idk how many 'homeless' rants I've posted thus far, but here is another:
Quick smoke outside my office the other day. I hear some crackhead bitch to my left shouting at me for a solid 10 seconds. Finally turn, and see she's gesturing for a cigarette. I make eye contact and just shake my head.
Some OTHER homeless piece of shit across the street (Irish, drunk, shocker,) proceeds to verbally trash me for the entire duration I'm smoking, about how I'm a 'selfish fat cunt' (I'm not fat lol,) and how my attitude will 'be the end of me' - all for not giving away free shit to these cretins. What makes it better? This green shitpig was smoking a cigarette the entire time.
It ASTOUNDS me how much balls these motherfuckers have these days, and how they're just allowed to verbally abuse people in the street going about their business.
Obviously, this is Bongland.
I got called a Bastard not so long ago for digging out a path towards a crypt because some homeless people had set up shop there, the thing was the people burried in this crypt (that needed some serious repair) and the people who where burried there died of the Pulmonic Plague and these nobheads where trying to break into the the crypts thinking there was right gold shit inside - they tried to bring the local paper in about "Evil developers evicting the local homeless" but it turned into them running a story about the dangers of old grave sites.
I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, even did a search to make sure. People who clip their fingernails at work, AT THEIR DESK.
That's always squicked me out, I have a friend who bought a 2nd hand laptop and the space bar was a little unresponsive so asked me to help him work out what was going on and I found a nasty massive toe nail clipping under the space bar when I give it a blow out with my compressor - I work in a field where broken nails are common so nipping off the end with a knife or pliers of a broken nail is common but to just sit there casually doing basic hygeen is a bit of a fucking spectical.
I realized I may not be much of a fan of the typical modern art scene, or at least the typical modern Western one on deviantART.
They can overvalue art - like thinking works they make are like "children" - and can not take too kindly (to put it lightly) to mocking what they make. They can overthink what is or isn't art, and overvalue originality. And of course it seems they usually think of mere copying as "theft" or even worse. And it seems they're quite often fanatical and anal supporters of copyright: for example, a proposed "orphan works" part of copyright law caused a "gathering of the tribes" of artists to protest it. Also while being different isn't always bad, they can be TOO different in a freakish way. And of course there is the easy ego and elitism.
This happens in any market that becomes "collectable" in my field - Anvils, they have become collectable as "art objects" same with a lot of other tools but anvils stand out, they are just big lumps of Steel and Iron but sell for a premium because hipsters like to decorate a space with "Art" I regularly get approached by people saying "Hey I've got this old anvil that's rare want to check it out?" 9/10 it's a beat to death ASO they want a premium for and act affronted when I say it's barely worth the price of the scrap metal, as art people will pay it as long as it's in style but even then people have limmits and ideas -
Just to give you an example my Anvil (well my main one) weighs 350lbs, it's now 170 years old but it was owned by people who took care of it and had the skill and abillity to reforge it when needed, including adding a 2in plate of nice steel to it at some point on the face, the most I needed to do to it when I got it was use a hard face rod to neaten up some edges and square up the hardy hole - but Old Tools (even ones not so old) are starting to become a premium item for decorators and it's fucking disgusting seeing them take old but very useable tools out of the market and destroy them with "upcycleing".
Otherwise, workplace bathrooms - especially those in shared office buildings - tend to be so disgusting that I wouldn't want to use my toothbrush in them unless I had no choice.
It's one thing to have a specific need for a space, one guy I regularly work with has to use a disabled toilet so they have to have a disabled toilet on site (he's in a wheel chair and has a special requirement, I've carried him up ladders before today on my back) but on small sites where you know each other that does not happen they are clean if not clean like in your home, but on larger jobs I have a small campervan toilet in the back of my Landy I let people I know use because the other bogs are fucking disgusting.
