I'll be OK, I'm just doing what grown ups do, having a drink and remembering those who passed away. Cheers

[goosehd]

@injunjack Sorry for your losses.

[endo]

@injunjack sorry to hear hope you find joy in remembering them

[Mizmazzle]

@injunjack double kicker in the guts. Sorry to hear it man. Those memories are the most important thing.

[Giles]

Enjoy the drink @injunjack

Well that sucks man sorry to hear it.

We have a neighbor who leaves their dog outside and it barks so loud it has awakened me from a block away through closed double paned windows. I don’t know how they themselves sleep. If that weren’t bad enough, the dog was outside frantically barking this morning at 3AM when I was heading to the airport and it was well below freezing.

Why get a dog if you don’t give a shit about dogs?

This sociopath has now entered criminal territory and will be facing long overdue consequences. That poor animal.

@SKT I'm right with you. MN had 66 on Monday and it's 6 today.

@jordanscollected these wild swings are brutal…my sinuses feel like they might implode

@ROman So, here on holiday, it appears that having a loud video call in the restaurants with random people I do not give a fuck about and want to hear even less, is becoming quite the hip thing to do. People have no manners and no shame. Well I have managed to shame a few into shutting up or getting up and leaving the restaurant.

There is a no-drone policy on the island, I am going to talk to the management to extend that to no droning at the table.

Reminds me. When we were in New York State earlier this year, we went to the most expensive, but not necessarily the best, restaurant in town one night. One of the diners took a fairly long video call at the table from her daughter. A little later, another diner was leaving the restaurant and made a point of going over to the offender's table to tell her how much he had enjoyed listening to the conversation whilst he was trying to enjoy his meal. I salute you sir.

I heard all about some old ladies mammogram while I was at the dr’s office yesterday… the podiatrist! Cell phones are a plague (this is me channeling @mclaincausey)

[mclaincausey]

Common decency is an endangered species. It seems like the bulk of humanity has leaned in hard to sociopathic levels of selfishness and self centeredness.

If you need to take a video call, fine. There’s this thing called headphones you can use.

If I ruled the world there would be laws encouraging tasing people who use speakers for extended periods in public. Maybe even a bounty program.

@Giles one of my pet peeves too, even extends to people have anything more than brief telephone conversations on public transport too...

[Mizmazzle]

I heard a comedian once quip…it’s not ok to say you hate a specific group of people. That would be bigoted and wrong. But to say you just hate people in general?? Well, everyone agrees on that.

[Matt]

When people ask me what it means when I tel them I’m a misanthropic pessimist I tell them “It means fuck you.”

[ROman]

@giles, I will admit I think of you whenever I'm eating out and see people doing these loud phone / video conversations. It' annoying.
