Did you not get the "how to be horrible in Polite" primer before you unpacked?
Darling, that is more talent than skill.

Well, some of these places, it's either being taught or it's being bred.
@insomniac7809 There isn't much difference if you're a hoity toity child in the midwest. We're all just products of our environment.
@insomniac7809 Hah! I was lent a copy of "How to speak Minnesotan".
I did make the mistake of saying on a date, of her outfit, "Interesting". Little did I know...

@Atomic My condolensces about the Midwest. I'm sure you're probably not a cunt though.
No, but I have goals.
Super awesome: finally getting out of the house, finally getting to take my car on a long drive for the first time, and seeing the stars in the middle of the desert and then the sunrise in the desert.
I haven't felt happy and at peace in months. It was wonderful. I'm glad I did it.
The reason I'm posting in this thread: hitting flooding before I was even out of Austin proper and having it tear a panel off the undercarriage of my car and now I have to take my car into a dealership here in Phoenix this week to get it taken care of / make sure it's not gonna affect the drive back.
LOS ANGELES. IT'S RAINING. TURN YOUR DAMN HEADLIGHTS ON.
Peeve II: whateverthefuck algebra tiles are.
Peeve: Please, people. I understand you don't all want to wear masks. But don't refuse to wear a mask, invade my personal space, cough, and jokingly say 'Looks like you got the hoax flu now!'
@Admiral
Did you throat-punch them?
I would have throat-punched them and yelled: "how's that hoax cough now, bitch?"
Sometimes, violence is the only thing idiots understand.

...Do you get to claim self-defense if you do this? Asking for a friend. >.>
It was my new boss. The one who goes on about how the government is evil and oppressing citizens, except that lovely Trump guy who is fixing America.
I would probably report that harassment to his boss, but I'm a no-nonsense kind of person.

I absolutely would do the same but we probably have a more wrecking ball disposition than is healthy for corporate culture

I keep hearing that from people, and yet I represent enough corporations to know that a good boss appreciates knowing what's happening.
It is keenly unappreciative for management to pull pranks on employees. Management is management, and that's why it can be lonely. This isn't fucking summer camp; this is someone's livelihood.
Some dumb motherfucker doing that shit in my firm would get let go immediately. This is not the time for their dumb shit conspiracy theories.

I would almost be willing to call the police about this, no matter what my principles about the police are. Let's not forget Belly Mujinga, who got spat and coughed on by someone claiming to have COVID-19 and died of it a week ago.

Yeah... such an action does seem to fit the definition of assault.
GenCon is cancelled. 
I mean, not a peeve, or a gripe. More of a … sad?
I so look forward to it every year. ;(
