People who talk constantly about diseases, often about themselves or other people they know. It's like a therapy session and you're the psychologist. It's miserable company. It's better to be alone than to talk to these people.

Even more generally people love talking about how bad they have it, and will take offence or try to outdo any bad situation anyone else has. Why choose to be so miserable?

There's this girl that I've seen couple of times, always at house parties. Everytime she ends up crying and bitching about her mom and her ex. Everytime, I've seen her over the course of three years and she always ends up crying, publicly, with her gay best friend patting her in the back. The twink always looks miserable lmao.

Why on earth is my grocery receipt for 6 times legitimately over half a meter long?

Sometimes, they provide price cuts and they mark them on the receipt. Or, it's to deduct from a deal like two for $5. That's my understanding of it.

Why is Iceland green, but Greenland icy?

I've honestly found that it's willful ignorance in most cases. Especially if someone else is there to do it for them, these types would rather just pretend they're incapable than put in any amount of effort. I've seen people throw their hands up and state "I can't do it" even if it's something they've done many times before if just one thing is different. They come in with the mindset that "I don't know how works" and refuse to learn, even when being taught. I found it also applies to other things, though technology is most common. Unless people want to actually learn, they'll refuse to take any info in. It just reminds me of a time I had someone tell me "I don't know what that is though!" as I was explaining to them literally what it was.

I've found that it's a combination of this and some weird perception that being tech illiterate makes them "cool". I know a lot of boomers who very obviously think being unable to operate a television somehow makes them badass, like they're above such petty things.

I think it's a desperate attempt at proving how resilient they are. Like adapting to new things is a sinister plot from a world trying to force them to change when obviously they're perfect the way they are.

Addiction to things that have barriers to access. I have addicts in my family unfortunately and spent most of my youth neurotically avoiding substances because I thought addiction is inevitable.
My understanding of myself now is that I am not willing to go to the store when I have a craving for anything, including booze which I have finally allowed myself to enjoy (and I really, really enjoy it). If I'm at the store doing a grocery shop, the cheapskate in me is unlikely to purchase guilty pleasure food. I don't like going to the store so I tend to be parsimonious with food, alcohol, and weed.
But then I recall a relative who was so deep in that he stopped at a liquor store after sideswiping a parked car while the cops were out looking for him. I know alllll about rehabs, antabuse, and am now interested in this other therapy that's getting some press, but despite my interest and vicarious experience secretly I just want to say, "Have you just tried not buying it?" I know that's not how it works for people, and I know there is some inescapable brain chemistry going on, but that doesn't mean that I "get it".

After taking care of some heavy paperwork and being once again forced to interact with boomers I was reminded of their abhorrent habit of licking their fingers in order to turn a page. EVERY FUCKING TIME.
Why. Why the fuck are you doing this. Do you have so little grip strength that a single sheet of paper is too much for you to handle? I can see the droplets flying. The fucking spot where your crinkly-ass digits touched the bottom of the paper sheet is now wet and slimy. I don't want your boomer germs. I don't want to interact with your fucking saliva. I don't want it anywhere near me. And now I'll have to tuck this shit in a plastic sleeve, where it will eventually evaporate and condensate on its inner walls, further tainting the documents. Boomers are so fucking disgusting. You're a grown person. Turn the fucking page normally.

It seems service workers do, too. I've gotten laid many a time just because I'm always civil to service workers, look them in the eye and smile. I don't do it to get laid, because I act the same towards guys, too, but it is a nice added bonus.

Thread tax: Job interviews and salaries. I've been to a few interviews in my time where the interview's gone nicely, we've chatted for an hour or two, everyone's happy. Then they say they can't pay the salary I'm demanding, that they're prepared to pay maybe 75% of what I told them it takes for me to change jobs. Nigger, you were told the amount, if you can't pay it, why the fuck am I here?

I don't understand the point of going to typical bar type places to socialize with people. It's too loud and I can't hear anything.

I'm always very polite to service workers, and their moods sometimes brighten up, but I've never gotten laid or anything, what the fuck else are you doing?

Keeping in shape probably doesn't hurt. Or not dressing like a hobo. And it's really only happened with girls in places I've frequented, where they've at least known me by appearance.
