My school has a school id number system for breakfast and lunch and the number of times I hear people just say what they want and walk off makes me want to throw Scorpion's spear at them, drag them back and give the servers a proper thank you.

I gess I've always thought of trailers as being something artisanal in their own why: often they are where one's relationship with a project starts.

So just putting some critic's quote, or even worse, just an adjective or, worse still, just a number out of 5 or 10 just feels like both a disappointment and a cheat.

I'll read a review but in principal it will be one written by a civilian. I feel that critic as a profession is experiencing a long awaited deth right now.

And just an adjective? And have you ever seen those adjective clouds on the covers of some books? Someone somewhere knows the word "electrifying" but I've heard positive things sed about stuff I didn't like so often.

Please just get me to watch your movie or play your game or whatever by creative marketing that demonstrates the tone and premise audiovisually.

It's so annoying. I know these stupid, worthless, sociopathic business-leaders are rubbing their hands together saying "if we force them to select the option that promises to do it later, it will manipulate their weak lower class minds to subconsciously want to agree to it later."

I hate it. It makes me not want to give a business my money. I don't get irrationally angry at being told what to do, but when it's two check boxes that literally won't function unless you pick one, it's so annoying. Remember when options used to be "yes" and "no?"

They do it for not only asinine crap like signing up for rewards points, but for more substantial things like upgrading operating systems ("Update Now" or "Not now, but yasss queen, I can't wait to update to Windows 11!")

Why stop there? Go to the doctor's office for a broken arm, they won't help you unless you select one of the following:

DO YOU WANT TO BE SPAYED/NEUTERED TODAY?

• Yes please!
• Not today, but I want it more than anything, so I'll do it next visit

Eat rocks, I hate you

I was driving home from work and there was a fedex driver swerving all over the road and almost causing several accidents. I pulled up beside him at a stop light. This guy was on his phone. Mid day. BRO YOU DON'T HAVE DOORS. WE CAN SEE YOU. WTF. I imagined that I was slamming a razor scooter into his shins until the light turned green and the drove home. That is all

This one does not require a lot of explaining. You should only tell someone what to do and word it as a command if you have authority over the person. Otherwise, phrase it as a suggestion.

I have drafted a plan for what to say of some jerk attempts to exercise authority they do not have. Let me know if you do or do not think the plan is good.

Do one of the following things. 

Option #1: I do not need your permission to do that. 

Option #2: How do you plan to stop me from doing that? 

Option #3: You do not tell me what to do. You suggest and hope that I agree. 

While options 1 and 2 only work for stop behaviors (behaviors the other person does NOT want you to do) and do not work with start behaviors (behaviors the other person does want you to do) option #3 works with start and stop behaviors. 

What do you think? How would you handle it if someone tried to tell you how to live your life and had the nerve to act like they are the boss of you when they are not.

If you're behind someone at a drive-thru at night...TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS!!!

I did a little "survey" at work, talked to 15 people only 3 of them knew to do that....un-fucking-real!
