Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 324

I’m gonna say the (sort of) opposite of @RyanPm40. Drivers who don’t seem to give a shit about crosswalks. There’s three I go through on my morning run and the only one drivers ever stop at is the one with flashing lights (and even then they don’t always stop).

Obviously I think what you said is valid and pedestrians should look both ways and only step out when it’s safe, but drivers shouldn’t need flashing lights to see people at a crosswalk. You’re in a two ton death machine. Pay attention to your surroundings and what’s coming ahead. Slowing down at a crosswalk is going to delay you maybe 10 seconds.

 

I was almost hit in a crosswalk many years ago bc the lady was speeding and didn’t bother to yield. I waiting until it was safe. She got mad at me. Literally stopped to yell at me after almost hitting me. I was also almost hit about the same amount of years ago while riding my bike bc the guy speeding didn’t want to wait 2 seconds for me to pass and zipped right in front of me causing me to crash and fall off my bike. I got yelled at by the parking attendant guy and I made a complaint him bc he was so rude and berated me, I was in tears. Like no. The dude speeding could have slowed down, he obviously saw me bc I was ahead of him

 

Not sure where else to post this, but my boss just walked into my office at the end of my lunch and I'm not sure that she saw it, but there was a lewd/thirst trap of my wife open on my phone

 

Awkward but should be easy enough to explain if it comes to that lol

 

Married life is being very good to you, sir

 

I wasn't present for it but back when a friend and I both worked at AT&T, some older white dude was very eager to show my friend (21 year old dude) nudes of his wife on his phone while they were buying a new phone

not totally related to Aaron's post but made me think of it

 

I worked at a Dollar General in Plum, Pa where the manager was frequently inappropriate with us and "Accidentally" scrolled to far and showed me her nudes unsolicited. We were the only two people in the building. It sucked!

 

yikes, that is sooooo wrong and a total violation of his wife's trust.

 

Nude sharing is shit and should have never been acceptable in society

 

I know so many friends of mine who had a guy send their nudes to everyone when I was in my 20s. Call me a prude, but I've never taken/sent anything like that to anyone and never will. I don't trust anyone lol.

 

Was a teenager in the late 00’s early 10’s and I am happy to say I never shared nudes or anything shitty like that back in the day, but too many people did and they are lucky (undeservingly so) that attitudes and legal interest in that kind of thing was looser back then. Trash

 

I should have specified - it was a female manager showing her own nudes. Still really gross when none of us wanted to see them!

 

Oh lord, she sounds like a "Pick me" woman. Gross.

 

A couple at a wedding I went to once showed me pictures of themselves naked tied up in ropes and I never wanted to leave a table so fast.

 

She was a lot. Had a boyfriend, brought her personal problems to work, would cry and storm off often leaving us to fend for ourselves, acted half her age. Just a lot of qualities you don't want in a manager. Including the harassment.

 

Holy moly

 

they clearly didn't read the room, lol.

 

I bet they were part of the “lifestyle”

 

Or I didn't! There was nothing in my mind that would have led to something like that though.

 

No they definitely read the room wrong

 

Days where everything feels off

 

A few years ago a female colleague I was/am good friends with accidentally sent me nudes (or close to it).

I was out for a run at the time and don’t usually bring my phone with me and that day was no different. I got back home after my run and she was in the parking lot of my apartment complex pacing and freaking out, crying, was a whole mess (which would certainly be reasonable if you send those kinds of pics to the wrong person, especially a coworker!). I explained that I had not seen them as I didn’t have my phone with me. She gave me the vibe that she didn’t believe me, so I brought her up to my apartment, had her unlock the door, find the phone on the charger, gave her my PIN to unlock it (changed it after she left of course lol) see that no messages had been opened, viewed, saved as screenshots or any shit like that and deleted everything.

She was almost more upset/showed more emotion with being relieved that I had not seen them or done anything with them. I told her I didn’t need to know nor care what they were of and we would never have to speak of it again.

Ironically enough she brings it up about once a year as a “hey remember when!!!!” thing for some reason.

Also didn’t occur to me until years later that she had never been to my apartment, had no idea where I lived before that so once year after she brought it up again I asked and she said she googled my name until she was finally able to find a number for my parents on page 22 of the search results, call her and get it from her. Think she said she told her we worked together (true) and needed to drop something off urgent for work so my mom gave her my address. I told my mom to kindly never do that again lol

 

Following up on this because I got into a very calm back-and-forth with this coworker on our ride home yesterday (we carpool) and somehow, me simply telling him that he didn't have his facts straight about sampling in music escalated into him screaming "I make twice as much as you, get the fuck out of my car." Absolute psycho shit. Feels good to be done with him!

 

brutal

he definitely has issues to work through if he blows up that easily over an inconsequential comment like that
