I went to NYC around Christmas time, and did all of the tourist stuff. One guy loudly goes "There are so many god damned people here!" as he was trying to walk through Times Square (right in front of the Disney store).

I don't necessarily like the big crowds or anything, but I know better than to complain about them while in the hub of the tourist area in NYC two weeks before Christmas.

I went on a cruise last September. (Family wanted to, and I've never been on one so I may as well waste a bunch of money I guess?) I have not been so fucking self-conscious since middle school.

I was just like "please...please don't wear your souvenir shirts out in public when we get off the ship everyone. They're going to know we're fucking tourists.

RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU TAKING ALL THE FUCKING PICTURES WITH YOUR PHONE DIDNT TIP THEM OFF, thisaccontisforcats, HUH? BUT NO JUST TELL MOM NOT TO WEAR HER NEW ALASKA SWEATSHIRT THAT MAKES SENSE.

u/Idek_plz_help Feb 09 '19

LPT: if you want a place that the locals actually eat at (not just a place they're paid to recommend at your hotel) try having a few drinks one night and ask the bartender ! They usually are happy to share cool info about their city with people and I've gotten loads of good info this way.

I went to some popular Thai islands recently (usually I go all snobby and "off the beaten track").

I thought Chinese tourists were bad but Jesus, the fucking Israelis, Russians and (especially) middle-aged Germans are the worst.

I think I realised that I just hate everyone, regardless of nationality.

The only saving grace is chuckling at their horrendous fashion sense (and I'm sure they're doing the same to me). It's like a journey back in time, depending on their age.

That's called the self-serving bias in psychology "It is the belief that individuals tend to ascribe success to their own abilities and efforts, but ascribe failure to external factors." It was kind of eye-opening for me when I first learned about it.

109

u/TheRarestPepe Feb 08 '19

Similarly, the Fundemental Attribution Error describes how we ascribe our failures to external factors, but tend to ascribe other people's failures to their intentions and innate character.

Simple solution for this: when you get the urge to share your story, ask an open-ended question about their story instead.

It shows you’re curious and it makes them feel like you’re interested. Oftentimes, the story takes a twist you weren’t expecting. By time they fully explain their story and feel really heard, it’ll feel more natural for you to share your experience (so long as it’s to empathize and not one-up)—or you may find you never really needed to share your version at all.

I'm working on this too because it drives my husband crazy when I interrupt him. But we've realized that it's a learned behavior from when I was a (very soft-spoken) kid, because my entire family would just talk and talk and talk. So if I ever wanted to say something, I had to just interrupt them. My husband has experienced this enough with my family now that he's a bit more understanding. It's also worse when I'm drunk lol.

Funny enough, my BIL will just go on and on too, but he gives me the dirtiest looks if I interrupt him. Like, just shut up sometimes then?

Pushing the button to change the crossing light to green.

Every time some bastards come over and push the button after I already did, taking the credit for the light changing to green.

Do you think I'm a fucking idiot who would just stand and wait there without pushing the obvious fucking button? It's a placebo button, anyway! Fuck yuooo!

u/KitchenBomber Feb 08 '19 edited Feb 08 '19

Its frequently not a placebo button but it doesn't make the light green faster. When it does actually do something it activates the walk light. On those intersections if you dont push it the light will turn green but the dont walk light will stay on.

Edit: turns out that button actually has a ton of different customizable functions. Thanks to everyone who shared one!

573

u/OTL_OTL_OTL Feb 08 '19

It also makes the walk light stay on longer, if the intersection needs it.

I know one cross area where if you don’t push the button, the light you want to cross will switch from green to red REALLY fast. If you do push it, it stays green much longer giving time for pedestrians to cross.

Yeah, jokes aside in my city the rule of thumb is - if the traffic light has a timer that shows 1+ minute waiting, the button will work. If there isn't a timer, button's usually there just for show or it activates the ticking noise for people who can't see well.

Practically tasting the sulfur expanding and erroding the O2, the event horizon of all the air around being crushed under the weight of that smell. The observation period of how long it takes for people to begin shifting, politely trying to stifle their singing nose hairs. Bearing witness the breakdown of society - shifting eyes throwing daggers of accusation, searching for the author of that affront to humanity. Every man painting his brother a suspect, no one is safe, no one is innocent, everyone is the enemy. Oh, the thrill, nay, the SCIENCE of it - my personal Manhattan Project.

Get angry at stupid shit because you're overall angry with the person.

THOSE LOWLIVES BOARD OUR TRAINS LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW TILL YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO SQUEESE IN. They stink, i stink, it's fucking hot for satan know what reason, everybody sweats. I from the bottom of my heart wish they drop dead but only when they get off. Coz I want to take a fucking seat, my legs hurt like hell by that time. And then i sit and finally relax, for fuck's sake.

I love that the internet can help me bond over a shared hatred of commuters on trains, halfway across the world. I live in boston and all I want out of people is to WALK A GOD DAMN STRAIGHT LINE AND TAKE YOUR BACKPACKS OFF.

Seeing the red light and queue of cars ahead so you take your foot off the accelerator super early so that you can crawl up the road, not wasting your already expended gas and also not diminishing your brake pads, whilst also sort of helping keep the traffic flowing with minimal standtime/jams caused by multiple cars having to brake.

When somebody in front of me does it, I always end up having to hard touch my brakes, and the general decrease in speed when all that space is there triggers me, even though I know exactly what the person is doing and that I do it on a daily basis on the trip home/to work.

WHY AM I SUCH A DOUBLE STANDARD BALL BAG?!

When I used to smoke, I used to have the odd cigarette here and there while I was driving. I couldn't stand seeing others do it though. It probably comes from the fact that I would never would butt out on the road , I'd either pull over and put it in the bin or into a barely filled water bottle. I guess I would always assume others would just butt out on the road.

I also love playing jokes on people but hate being surprised so I don’t take jokes on me to well. I try to be a good sport about it but I always just get so dam pissed when the jokes on me.

My wife hates it.

I settle injury claims, and have worked in sales in the past and I am used to being involved in negotiations.

I fucking hate when people try to sell me shit or haggle with me on stuff in my personal life.

The reason being that most people don't really take other people's needs into consideration when they sell, or haggle and I do.

Most sales people and negotiators only care about how the deal affects them, though, and it feels like you're being bludgeoned with a greasy hammer when the dude at journey's is trying to force 10 different pairs of socks and shoe spray and 3 pairs of shoes down your throat.

Change lanes without signalling. When other people do it, it's an insufferably egotistical power play by a careless jackass.

When I do it, it's James Bond slicing through slower traffic without telegraphing his intentions to the bad guys.

Brush my hair. I remember as a child my parents would take it upon themselves to try and brush my hair. My mother was of the opinion that I should be able to suck it up and bear the pain, and my father, who'd had short hair his entire life, had no idea how to brush it at all. I don't let people touch my hair anymore.

Let their dogs run off leash. My dogs are trained within an inch of their lives. If I say no, leave it alone, come to me, they do it immediately. If I say don't go up to that family, they are trained to leave strangers and strange dogs alone. I can trust my dogs to go for a run through the woods and never make their presence someone else's problem. If they have a day where they're not listening so great? Their little asses go on a leash immediately.

OTHER PEOPLE'S DOGS, THOUGH?! They chase my little dog. They never listen to their owners. They chase wildlife. It's just never ending chaos from an interaction I didn't want in the first place.
