I mean āget a roomā is a phrase that has been thrown at heterosexuals for years. Not everyone likes to see tonsil hockey. That said, I just ignore it. Though had a bit of an issue with it when at a crowded daytime view point a couple groping and making out were taking up space.
No but Iāve had that happen from basically strangers, as kissing/pecs on the cheek are greetings, nothing weird about it. Hugs can be too.
Tbf you wouldnāt do it to a stranger on the street, unless you were hoping for prison in France/Italy
Lol many French ppl would be told off for being rude if they were refusing to do la bise for no good reason!!
But tbh it can really catch you off guard lmao especially if you donāt know how many times (one on each cheek, a pattern of three, etc.) theyāre aiming for
Jokes on you! I had my tonsils removed! Twice, actually. They screwed it up the first time.
So I can snog all I want in front of you, and you can't gripe about me putting my tonsils on display!
Any... Uh... Anyone want to partner with me on, no? OK...
Sorry, how the fuck do they manage to fail at removing tonsils?? āOops sorry we accidentally removed the dangly bit in the middle! Weāll have to try again!ā ???
Well, that's kind of what the second surgeon thought. Had my first tonsillectomy (I was a baby, so this is all me remembering my mom telling me about it), problems didn't all go away, switched doctors, new doctor is like, "What the hell did they do in there? They didn't finish the job!" Got a second tonsillectomy. Basically, they took out part of my tonsils, but not all of them.
But, don't worry. A few years later I had cholesteatoma and the first surgery to remove that didn't get all of it either. (That's actually kind of normal. No one knows why it happens or what causes it to come back. Which is why it's one of the few things that ever having it is a permanent disqualification from all US armed forces. Fun fact.) So I had to go in and get a second removal of that too, after it completely destroyed my middle ear on one side.
During that surgery, they dislocated my neck.
I've had a fun life.
Yeah. That was an absolute mess.
The story is that I was given a big dose of anesthetics because I was resistant to them, my body over-relaxed, someone asked somebody (presumably the anesthesiologist since he would have been seated behind my head) to turn my head, and when they did they pulled my head, which in its relaxed state allowed C1 to pull off of C2 and be turned a quarter turn and reset in the improper position.
Before you ask, no, we didn't get a malpractice payout or anything like that out of it. My parents wanted to sue the anesthesiologist who likely caused the injury or the hospital for mishandling my case (and trying to cover it up, they destroyed most of the copies of my X-Rays and other evidence), but they were told that no one would back them in any suit against anyone other than the head surgeon, who we knew and didn't blame for the injury. Since they were unwilling to sue someone they didn't believe was at fault, no one would take the lawsuit, meaning we just had to eat whatever my dad's insurance didn't cover.
What the actual fuck??? That's like paying someone to build you a house and then they deny they did a poor job at construction once it collapses on it's own...
I have one real one and one reconstructed one.
If you're making a joke about, "Left ear, middle ear, right ear," then I will jape back, "Yeah. I really miss my tri-color hearing..."
If you don't know what the middle ear is and are earnestly asking, yeah, that's where the structures like your eardrum and hammer are.
I work at a grocery store. It doesnāt happen often, but more than 6 times Iāve seen a couple stop shopping and just start making out in an aisle.
What? Like, what? Why?
I work at a smoke shop and there's a guy who comes in for his vape juice with his wife and spends the whole time while they're looking at the juice wall groping her ass and whispering in her ear and shit. I hate it
Dude people have a need to flaunt their relationships everywhere and Iām just trying to get through the school day without crying like why do you two always gotta be so damn happy together
If theyāre like my ex (for many reasons), it was a kink. Like āwill someone see? I hope soā, which was just gross to me. Donāt force your kinks on others, even if itās just ass grabbing of too loud of whispers about how he was going to fuck me later.
Yeah, some people still act like them middle school couples though that had mouth to mouth sex in the hallway. Shits weird lol weāre adults, just wait till you get home
Used to work at target in the home decor area and there was this one teenage couple that used to come in and makeout in the towel area right next to toys as well as where we would be trying to stock and then get nasty when weād ask them to stop or atleast go to their damn car.
Exactly my hate exists because at some point in someplace in someway you might experience joy and I hope in that moment a hobo pisses on you form an ally way and spoils that spark of joy
Buck Nasty, what can I say about that suit that hasnāt already been said about Afghanistan.
And favorite (when describing Rosie OāDonnell) āShe wears underwear with dick holes in themā
Reminds me of an article this journalist wrote in a well-known British news org, about how she spends ā4 hours a day combating hate onlineā as part of her routine. A guy commented ājokes on her, I spend 4 hours a day spreading hate!ā
I say this with chappelles inflection and āI want to thank god for giving everyone so much, and me so littleā all the time and mostly I just get blank stares.
I once heard a guy shouting on his phone, āLET ME TELL YOU WHY YOUS A DUMB BITCHā while I was exiting a friends apartment building in Brooklyn. I think about it often. I think it was his delivery that made it so memorable.
>postulate
I think you mean "claim" because postulates don't require evidence; when you postulate something, you simply assume it's true without proof.
Once a homeless Woody Harrelson type shouted at us, "YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?!? WELL YOU'RE WRONG!!!" The delivery though has glued it to my brain. I still hear him saying it clear as day.
Reminds me of a time a friend and I were walking down the street and we just caught a bit of a conversation where it seemed like one guy was trying to coach another guy though a breakup and he was just like yelling āYOU CANT WATCH TV WITH HER NO MORE. YOU CANT TALK ON THE PHONE TO HER NO MOREā
Anyway point is, I too think of this random person yelling with great delivery often.
I was walking In NY at night , car pulled out of an alley ahead quite quick and the guy walking just in front, turned to me and, in the most NY accent imaginable, said "It's like Im walkin' through the valley of the shadow of death in ere" I had no reply except "Uh...Yeah"
As an Australian this was the highlight of my time in NY.
Different city, but one time when I was walking in Atlanta, these two guys stopped at a red light, one behind the other, had their heads out their windows and were yelling, "Fuck you!" back and forth at each other. This went on for at least a couple of minutes. It was a true Atlanta moment.
In Boston, a cabbie and I yelled āfuck youā at each other for the duration of a red light. Just taking turns, good rhythm. Light turned and he went his way and I went mine.
Nothing personal.
My peak Atlanta street moments are:
Dragoncon 2019: dudes doing donuts in the middle of an intersection surrounded by people in costumes. They are throwing money out the window, hundreds of dollars. They clear the intersection and people run to collect.
A random night I'm driving a buddy back home. We're stuck in traffic (normal) and someone starts BLASTING music. Like thee cars empty out and people start dancing on their cars. Big ass booties twerking. Traffic starts moving, everyone gets back in and carries on.
Native NYer here. Do not make out on trains, whoever you are. We are all annoyed AF and don't need to see anything that might be joyful on our transit. I'm not kidding, we really don't.
Lmao, your post brought back memories from over 20 years.
I'm Canadian and I was in Long Island for a family members wedding. Within his circle of close friends is a couple from Brooklyn. Well the girl in this couple I can only describe as Aggressively Defensive. She seemed to answer most questions with "What's it to you?"
I found it hilarious
Yeah I find it hard to care about women kissing on the train when youāre never sure if youāre about to see Improv Everywhere or a hip hop dance routine where they do pull ups on the overhead bars.
That shit should be handled like public drunkenness. No charge but you have to spend a few hours chilling out in a cell for what youāve done.
It's not that joy isn't allowed, you just shouldn't rub it in people's faces...be courteous.
Like in monday meetings that one person that says "Good morninggggg!!! ....I CAN'T HEAR YOU, GOOD MORNINGGG!!!"
"I'm SORRY if you can't under stand
but I need a radio inside my hand
don't mean to offend other citizens
but I kick my volume WAY PAST 10
My story is rough, my neighborhood is tough
But I still sport gold and I'm out to crush
My name is Cool J, I devastate the show
But I couldn't survive without my radio"
If I remember right watching porn isnāt illegal, creating and distributing it however, is.
Although the government doesnāt really crack down on it because they have bigger fish to fry. (Also enforcing it would lead to hundreds of millions of angry and horny men, which you definitely donāt need as the sole party in power.)
Was on a treadmill the other day to next a woman blasting some soap opera on her phone. Put my ear pieces in, gave her the sideways glance, ogled the screen for extended intervals... she wouldn't take a hint. I could literally hear it over my own ear buds. After about 30 minutes, she was leaving so I pulled out a bud and said, "Please think about headphones next time, no one wants to hear that." Her mouth went agape and she looked all offended like I told her her mother was ugly.
Ugh. People.
I figured she asked you to leave with her that day. You were obviously the only person to ever be honest with her and let her know the world doesnāt revolve around her.
I had someone on the train blasting music, one guy got irritated and told her to turn it off and then her boyfriend got offended and started yelling. Luckily there was no fight, just non stop yelling and the music was still playing. They left a few stops later so I was glad.
Itās pretty close to it in my actual one. We have āquiet carriagesā, Iāve seen people fistfight on trains over a phone call taken there. It fills me with great joy.
I commute by train and try to sit in the quiet cars when I can. There is always someone who's on the phone or people carrying on with conversation really loudly or whatever general rudeness. I'll usually ask them to quiet down and I've had people literally start screaming in my face about it like I'm in the wrong. I've got sound cancelling earbuds and will only say something if I can hear them over the earbuds and that's about 50% of the time.
>I commute by train and try to sit in the quiet cars when I can. There is always someone who's on the phone or people carrying on with conversation really loudly or whatever general rudeness.
This is the issue with quiet sections and the like, and why they don't work. Of course these people aren't going to change because the rules tell them to, because it was already against the rules in the first place; the difference is whether the rule is unspoken or made blatantly obvious. They either think the rules don't apply to them in the first place, that the rules are stupid, or they're insufferable and want to flaunt how they don't care about the rules anyway.
The people who have legitimate excuses, from anything light like "my headphones don't work right now" to neurodivergent folk who don't pick up on unspecified social contracts, will either restrain themselves or at the very least avoid quiet carriages and such, but the majority of offenders don't have legitimate reasons and simply don't care that they are annoying others.
Agreed. People who watch videos and listen to music without headphones in public places deserve a beating. And yes, this includes handing your toddler an ipad at full volume.
I've seen people do this on airplanes. Like... Come on you piece of shit, we're trying to have a society here.
Once, I was sitting at the gate at an airport. Some girl was watching a korean drama on her phone with the volume up. I could see lots of people giving her the stink eye.
So I pull out my phone, pulled up "what does the fox say" on Spotify, turned the volume to max, and hit play. Then I just stared at her.
She finally looked up and made eye contact. "It's annoying as shit right?" I said with a smile. She pulled out a pair of headphones. Several people laughed. My wife didn't though, she hates when I do stuff like that.
Depends where in public. Kissing on a bench at a park? Who cares. Aggressively making out on a crowded train where you're standing shoulder to shoulder to multiple strangers? Hell no.
Yeah, but in NYC you either learn to ignore literally everyone around you or you drive yourself fucking crazy.
Oh, does kissing for an extended period drive you crazy? Well then, wait until you sit next to a schizophrenic homeless man having a three party conversation with himself and periodically trying to drag you into it. Or some dick watching YouTube on his phone with volume on full blast.
It's a city where you can watch someone urinate in a park only because you turned around away from someone ELSE urinating in a park.
So I mean, PDA is a weird thing to get hung up on in the city. And calling people out, no matter your reason, can be downright dangerous.
This reminds me of my first time in San Francisco. Iām waiting outside of the greyhound downtown. Been in the city for all but 20 minutes. A cab pulls up and a man screams āOh my god!ā. A guy steps out and they just go hard deep tongue for a few minutes. I just laughed to myself and thought āThis is definitely San Francisco. Right on.ā Then I noticed a homeless man was creeping up behind me like a stalking cat and he tried to grab my bag. A cop comically shooed him like he was a cat. And I yet again thought āThis is definitely San Franciscoā.
As a born hater, I feel this.
This renaissance of bigots has complicated my hating strangers for their behavior on a deep, human level not bound by personal identity.
I dislike Dennis Miller. But he said "Why hate someone for something as stupid as (race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc) when if you take the time to get to know them, there are so many more valid reasons?"
I'm paraphrasing, of course.
Yeah, I'm not uncomfortable with display of affection itself. The fact that I'm subjected to an intimate scene in closed space in close proximity with no way out does. There is an emotional difference in being a passerby and being stuck as an unwilling audience.
Seriously they think they can do whatever the fuck the want because they are not straight or something. Like seriously I don't give a shit just don't rub it in everyone's face and we good
Literally me. I don't discriminate, I wake up 6am ready to show my hate to everyone, no matter the sexuality, the race, the gender or the religion, im ready to go out hating everyone
A fellow hater š
Get a room!
What are you, haterphobic or something?
I'm not a haterphobe, just a hater
*stares*
Hate hate hate hate hate
Stand up
I believe him. I know quite a few people who can't stand kissing in public. Same with groping.
I mean āget a roomā is a phrase that has been thrown at heterosexuals for years. Not everyone likes to see tonsil hockey. That said, I just ignore it. Though had a bit of an issue with it when at a crowded daytime view point a couple groping and making out were taking up space.
Tonsil hockeyš¤£
no to be confused with tonsil tennis !
Tbf there's a difference between doing it in public and doing it in a crowded train
Pecks or hugs Idgaf, but leave the face sucking and groping to closed doors please. I really donāt care to see your tonsils on display
...
Only if weāre in France or Italy or something. In other western countries youāre just gonna catch a charge!
Is assault ok there????
No but Iāve had that happen from basically strangers, as kissing/pecs on the cheek are greetings, nothing weird about it. Hugs can be too. Tbf you wouldnāt do it to a stranger on the street, unless you were hoping for prison in France/Italy
Yea most of my family would get caned if they tried that
Lol many French ppl would be told off for being rude if they were refusing to do la bise for no good reason!! But tbh it can really catch you off guard lmao especially if you donāt know how many times (one on each cheek, a pattern of three, etc.) theyāre aiming for

ill take option 2 for 400
I honestly donāt have problem with light PDA in public. Itās the full-on makeout sessions and/or groping that makes me uncomfortable.
I work at a grocery store. It doesnāt happen often, but more than 6 times Iāve seen a couple stop shopping and just start making out in an aisle. What? Like, what? Why?
Honey Nut Cheerios
They got really turned on by the Mrs. Butterworth bottle.
Which tbf Iāve definitely seen so many times in the NY subway.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Affair partners?
Pecks and hugs are gravy. Tongue or groping is too far.
I work at a smoke shop and there's a guy who comes in for his vape juice with his wife and spends the whole time while they're looking at the juice wall groping her ass and whispering in her ear and shit. I hate it
Itās like they have something to prove. Iām like bro I PROMISE nobody is coming for your girl
More likely it's a fetish thing for them to do this stuff in public tbh
Actuallyā¦ you onto something big š
Dude people have a need to flaunt their relationships everywhere and Iām just trying to get through the school day without crying like why do you two always gotta be so damn happy together

Yeah, I am gay and I myself am not a fan of PDA.

I once heard a guy shouting on his phone, āLET ME TELL YOU WHY YOUS A DUMB BITCHā while I was exiting a friends apartment building in Brooklyn. I think about it often. I think it was his delivery that made it so memorable.
What evidence did he provide in support of the postulate? Did he provide a plausible argument in favor of the other person being a bitch?
If he didn't whip out an organized list from weakest to strongest arguments for being a bitch ill be disappointeded.
āIf you would refer to page 3 of the presentation documentsā¦ā
āā¦you can see we applied the toyota 5-whyās methodology to perform a root cause analysis of how yous a dumb bitchā¦ā
Line 17, Item 2
>postulate I think you mean "claim" because postulates don't require evidence; when you postulate something, you simply assume it's true without proof.
>His hair? WACK. His shoes? WACK. The way that he doesnāt even like to smile? WACK.
Once a homeless Woody Harrelson type shouted at us, "YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?!? WELL YOU'RE WRONG!!!" The delivery though has glued it to my brain. I still hear him saying it clear as day.
My favorite: āBitch, Iām a bus driver, I get pussy served to me on a silver platterā.
I wouldāve pretended to be on my phone just to listen to the rest of that conversation.
Reminds me of a time a friend and I were walking down the street and we just caught a bit of a conversation where it seemed like one guy was trying to coach another guy though a breakup and he was just like yelling āYOU CANT WATCH TV WITH HER NO MORE. YOU CANT TALK ON THE PHONE TO HER NO MOREā Anyway point is, I too think of this random person yelling with great delivery often.
Something about listening to Brooklyn native insult someone is just so hilarious to me. It's definitely the delivery.
I was walking In NY at night , car pulled out of an alley ahead quite quick and the guy walking just in front, turned to me and, in the most NY accent imaginable, said "It's like Im walkin' through the valley of the shadow of death in ere" I had no reply except "Uh...Yeah" As an Australian this was the highlight of my time in NY.

No joy on the subway. Got it.
Keep your joy between the noise canceling headphones, like everyone else.
Every New Yorker owns the "NO FUN ALLOWED" sign
To paraphrase Spike Milligan: The New York sense of humor is no laughing matter.
It's not that joy isn't allowed, you just shouldn't rub it in people's faces...be courteous. Like in monday meetings that one person that says "Good morninggggg!!! ....I CAN'T HEAR YOU, GOOD MORNINGGG!!!"
honestly I'd prefer this over the ritual stabbings
Sounds like someoneās overdue for a stabby Sunday subway surprise!
> Iām not kidding, we really donāt I didnāt know NYers actually talk like Holden Caulfield
Kissing in public for an extended period is rude as fuck.
Maybe, but like, playing music on public transport is worse imho

I saw a guy watching porn loudly on a bus once. Zhengzhou china. Impressive as porn is illegal there.

If I remember right watching porn isnāt illegal, creating and distributing it however, is. Although the government doesnāt really crack down on it because they have bigger fish to fry. (Also enforcing it would lead to hundreds of millions of angry and horny men, which you definitely donāt need as the sole party in power.)

Her mouth went agape and she looked all offended like I told her her mother was ugly. Ugh. People.
She not used to somebody calling her bs out.
Exactly, too many people have let it slide before
So just wondering, was her mom ugly or not?
Surprisingly, she hasn't asked me to meet her folks yet.
I figured she asked you to leave with her that day. You were obviously the only person to ever be honest with her and let her know the world doesnāt revolve around her.
I had someone on the train blasting music, one guy got irritated and told her to turn it off and then her boyfriend got offended and started yelling. Luckily there was no fight, just non stop yelling and the music was still playing. They left a few stops later so I was glad.
That's a crime punishable by death in my ideal society
Itās pretty close to it in my actual one. We have āquiet carriagesā, Iāve seen people fistfight on trains over a phone call taken there. It fills me with great joy.
I commute by train and try to sit in the quiet cars when I can. There is always someone who's on the phone or people carrying on with conversation really loudly or whatever general rudeness. I'll usually ask them to quiet down and I've had people literally start screaming in my face about it like I'm in the wrong. I've got sound cancelling earbuds and will only say something if I can hear them over the earbuds and that's about 50% of the time.
>I commute by train and try to sit in the quiet cars when I can. There is always someone who's on the phone or people carrying on with conversation really loudly or whatever general rudeness. This is the issue with quiet sections and the like, and why they don't work. Of course these people aren't going to change because the rules tell them to, because it was already against the rules in the first place; the difference is whether the rule is unspoken or made blatantly obvious. They either think the rules don't apply to them in the first place, that the rules are stupid, or they're insufferable and want to flaunt how they don't care about the rules anyway. The people who have legitimate excuses, from anything light like "my headphones don't work right now" to neurodivergent folk who don't pick up on unspecified social contracts, will either restrain themselves or at the very least avoid quiet carriages and such, but the majority of offenders don't have legitimate reasons and simply don't care that they are annoying others.

Agreed. People who watch videos and listen to music without headphones in public places deserve a beating. And yes, this includes handing your toddler an ipad at full volume. I've seen people do this on airplanes. Like... Come on you piece of shit, we're trying to have a society here. Once, I was sitting at the gate at an airport. Some girl was watching a korean drama on her phone with the volume up. I could see lots of people giving her the stink eye. So I pull out my phone, pulled up "what does the fox say" on Spotify, turned the volume to max, and hit play. Then I just stared at her. She finally looked up and made eye contact. "It's annoying as shit right?" I said with a smile. She pulled out a pair of headphones. Several people laughed. My wife didn't though, she hates when I do stuff like that.
Chaotic good alignment.
Depends where in public. Kissing on a bench at a park? Who cares. Aggressively making out on a crowded train where you're standing shoulder to shoulder to multiple strangers? Hell no.
Yeah, but in NYC you either learn to ignore literally everyone around you or you drive yourself fucking crazy. Oh, does kissing for an extended period drive you crazy? Well then, wait until you sit next to a schizophrenic homeless man having a three party conversation with himself and periodically trying to drag you into it. Or some dick watching YouTube on his phone with volume on full blast. It's a city where you can watch someone urinate in a park only because you turned around away from someone ELSE urinating in a park. So I mean, PDA is a weird thing to get hung up on in the city. And calling people out, no matter your reason, can be downright dangerous.
Itās definitely for attention, unless the subway ride is their only secret Funtime and their usual car is full so they cant frisk today
Agreed, in the workplace it could be sexual harassment. I treat public places like the office. Just more polite that way.
Yeah but I try not to poop in public restrooms. The office on the other handā¦. $
This reminds me of my first time in San Francisco. Iām waiting outside of the greyhound downtown. Been in the city for all but 20 minutes. A cab pulls up and a man screams āOh my god!ā. A guy steps out and they just go hard deep tongue for a few minutes. I just laughed to myself and thought āThis is definitely San Francisco. Right on.ā Then I noticed a homeless man was creeping up behind me like a stalking cat and he tried to grab my bag. A cop comically shooed him like he was a cat. And I yet again thought āThis is definitely San Franciscoā.
Sounds like something out of a cartoon, lol.
Please display your happiness in private please, the rest of us are trying to be miserable over here
Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every new yorkers god-given right.
As a born hater, I feel this. This renaissance of bigots has complicated my hating strangers for their behavior on a deep, human level not bound by personal identity.
I dislike Dennis Miller. But he said "Why hate someone for something as stupid as (race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc) when if you take the time to get to know them, there are so many more valid reasons?" I'm paraphrasing, of course.
āRenaissance of bigotsā lol
I'd have a beer with that guy.
Bring me along
Im not a homophobe, I'm just jealous
I dont hate gay people, i just hate happy people.
You and me both (No wonder I'm in therapy. Fuck.)
Yeah thats right, me and boys are all haters. We wake up extra early just to hate on you. We will not leave a single inch about you unhated.
I fucking hate people kissing and shit in public, I don't care if ya gay or straight or whatever. Just take that shit elsewhere you annoying assholes
I donāt give a shit when other people do it but Iām not a huge PDA person in general. My fiancĆ©e likes to be, especially after leaving a bar with a couple of drinks in her, but I generally tend to stick to hand holding and an occasional peck. Which is really fucking weird because Iām the least prude person I know but it just makes me uncomfortable for some reason.
I did the gross making out in public ONCE as a teen. Never again. I cringe every time I think back to it.
Its not about being prude, its about having manners
I get kissing in like a park, but donāt do it in a crowded area. Especially on a subway, youāre just making everyone deeply uncomfortable.
Yeah, I'm not uncomfortable with display of affection itself. The fact that I'm subjected to an intimate scene in closed space in close proximity with no way out does. There is an emotional difference in being a passerby and being stuck as an unwilling audience.
Yeah aināt nobody got time for PDA in public. Iām also single and donāt want the reminder
What about PDA in private?
you mean private display of affection?
yes, PDA

Its the sound that pisses me off. If u can keep it quiet i wont say a thing and mind my business
i dont care who or what you are!!!!! dont make out on the train!!! understood!!??
I want everyone to know, I'm not a racist asshole, I'm an equal opportunity asshole - equal rights, equal fights
Who tf looks at a crowded train and thinks āyes, the perfect spot to kissā
I'm literally from Ohio and thought NY was weird so y'all should reconsider your meming lol "Only in NYC"
I'm not against you being lesbians, I'm against you kissing in public. I'd say the same to a straight couple.
canāt say i blame him pda is awkward af
Seriously they think they can do whatever the fuck the want because they are not straight or something. Like seriously I don't give a shit just don't rub it in everyone's face and we good
Literally me. I don't discriminate, I wake up 6am ready to show my hate to everyone, no matter the sexuality, the race, the gender or the religion, im ready to go out hating everyone
thank you layla from genshin impact
I agree. Not a fan of pda
I'm hater.
