Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
❓Question of the Day ❓
What is the one thing that you hate the most, that people do when you’re out in public?
Change their voice or speech habits based on who they are speaking with.
This is a clear sign whom you're speaking with's intentions are disingenuous if not dubious. Fakery with intent.
oh, this is a good one. Yes…. I think they’re referred to as narcissistic sociopaths
Dig tunnels & Crawl out of sewer grates
😂😂😂 When you nose, you 👃
😂😂😂
Well… He’s not wrong. Definitely don’t like people getting caught digging tunnels in New York. 😂😂😂 And yes, it’s very annoying.
promiscuous clothing. I don't want to see Any of that when I'm in public, especially nowadays when they're so fat & sloth like. scary sometimes, especially when they think it looks good🤢
Agreed! This generation who wears gym clothes everywhere they go. Everything so tight you can see every crack in their cheeks … ewww
Spitting, acting mental, evil energy or mental vibe, being rude and entitled and completely disregard people around and being inconsiderate to their environment, on their cellphone or not looking when they cross the streets (mostly the younger people) like they expect the cars to take responsibility for their lives. If I see someone mental or bad vibe I just say a quick pray for that person and try to be as far away as possible and not make eye contact at all. The world is a scary place so always have your guard up. Ideally I feel the safest in Japan / Southeast Asia where people are genuinely kind and respectful. For 3rd world countries, they have way more class than western civilization.
Spitting… yes! I find this so disgusting. if somebody spits in front of me, I just looked them straight in the eye and say…
Well That’s Attractive! 🤮
The phone thing is my huge pet peeve. I cannot stand people being on speakerphone, and having conversations with people when they’re wandering around a store, or in the waiting room of a doctors office. It’s so disrespectful. If it gets really bad, I’ll look them in the eye and tell them… Nobody Cares 🤷♀️
I also agree with you when you’re trying to shop. I specifically will move my cart out of the way and put it somewhere so it’s not in anybody’s way just to walk around the fruit and vegetable area and get what I need and go back to my cart. This is the worst area in the market where people just block everything. It’s so frustrating.
AND
With blocking the Isles…. People are so self unaware, they only think of themselves, what they want, and what they need. I’m literally like… please just move!
For this reason alone, I’m so angry about Covid. There are so many reasons to be pissed off about Covid, however… I used to do my shopping in the middle of the night. Walmart, the middle of the night… Fry’s grocery store the middle of the night… Wallgreens, the middle of the night. It’s so hard to find a 24 hour store anymore. 😡
Ripcord out their chest when you pull it, "Me, me, meeeeee!" (Like planes trains automobiles)
Well yeah, there is that... especially the further away from rural you get as parking lots are way smaller.
Ever see someone smack into a light pole in the middle of an otherwise empty parking lot? It's like they didn't even see it...
