Why’d you assume we’re talking about women?

That’s kinda sexist of you if you ask me

Rachelhazideas ,

For the tone deaf people who say this isn’t sexist or about women, look again. The whole package of ‘OMG’, exclamation marks, ‘annoying kids’, two moms, some annoying trait, is all dog-whistle for people who like to trivialize things women do.

Nice try with the ‘no u’ card, but calling people sexist for pointing out sexism is cringe and absurd.

    I can guarantee you do not pay 100% attention to your surroundings at all times. Even trained spies can’t do that. Sometimes you get caught up in something and otherwise forget.

    stranger ,

    It really is THAT simple. Why do I need to stand in a doorway, or somewhere that I know is going to have some kind of traffic eventually, to talk? Just don’t stand in the way, or move out of the way when you notice you need to, and things move smoothly. IDK what the other person is on about being 100% aware and a spy isn’t capable of doing that. That’s hyperbolic and irrelevant. It’s not hard to look up or in front of you and move, and it’s even easier not to stand in an obnoxious spot or obstruct space for no reason

    TimewornTraveler ,

    Why do I need to stand there? Well, why do I need to move if no one’s there? Why do we have to do anything? Why don’t I just look after me, and trust that you will speak up for yourself? If I notice you, I’ll accommodate. If I don’t notice you, I’ll be courteous when you say “Excuse me.” Why is that so hard for you to understand? You know it’s actually just as easy to say those two words as is it to avoid doorways! Maybe we all give each other some grace?

    ZombieZookeeper ,

    Pretty sure the people saying this behavior is okay are the same people who like to slam their seats into people’s knees on airplanes.

    lazyslacker ,

    Ok I’ll bite. Fully reclining my seat shouldn’t be something that’s looked down on. The person slamming their knees into the back of my seat preventing me from fully reclining should be more looked down on. The reason is that reclining doesn’t intrinsically interfere with anyone else, but pushing your knees into someone else’s seat absolutely does.

    All passengers have the same and equal freedom to recline their seat if they choose, except for the people in the emergency exit rows of course. It’s part of what you’re paying for when you buy the ticket. If that interferes with the knees of the person behind me that’s not my problem. The designers of the seats should ensure that fully reclining the seat doesn’t reduce knee room for the person behind me. The airline constructed this scenario all by themselves and if there’s a problem with it they should solve it themselves. I shouldn’t be asked to sacrifice my comfort on a flight I paid for (just like everyone else did) because they failed to do that.

    If we’re really insistent that this is somehow not 100% the airline’s problem, I’d next argue that if you don’t have enough knee room in a regular seat with the person in front of you fully reclined, then you’re literally too big for that seat. You should buy a “comfort plus” ticket. The airline should force you to do so.

    VoxAdActa ,
    @VoxAdActa@kbin.social avatar

    I'm 6'5". I'd love to hear your suggestions for what I should do with my legs when you recline your seat. Do you think I can just take them off? Am I supposed to sit sideways with my legs in the lap of the person next to me? Am I supposed to do Yoga for a year before I get on a plane, so I can spread my knees out 180 degrees from each other and you can lay your head on my dick?

    I'm not "slamming my knees into the back of your seat". They simply exist where you're trying to be, and the fundamental properties of matter are causing them to collide. You can be as pissed about your comfort as you want to be, but it's not going to change my knees into ethereal ghost knees so your seat can lean back.

    Probably best you instead get seats with more leg room rather than blaming it on people leaning their seats back. Just like larger people should be buying two seats per airline rules, it’s just easier to either get an exit row seat or pay extra for a row with more room.

    biddy ,

    People of all sizes are entitled to use the facilities they paid for equally. The airline should provide a solution for you, not the other passengers. You should patronize airlines that fulfill your needs and not patronize the ones that don’t. I actually like the ultra low cost carriers that have solved this by simply not allowing the seats to be reclined.

    Unless it’s 9pm on an overnight flight you shouldn’t be reclining you seat.

    Anyone reclining their seat to take a nap on a 2-3 hour flight is a dick, because the nap is not necessary. It’s just preventing the person behind from being able to use the table tray or read or watch their movie or work on their project in their laptop because their already limited space becomes unusable.

    socsa ,

    It also does absolutely jack shit in terms of comfort or sleep. People are obsessed with their half centimeter of recline for the same reason they are obsessed with cutting through side streets to avoid a single stoplight - because it is a petulant display of pointless sovereignty for miserable henpecked assholes.

    snowe ,
    @snowe@programming.dev avatar

    You clearly don’t have many health problems. Not reclining the seat makes my arthritis flare up so bad I can barely walk, due to many airlines making their seats pretty much vertical. And if it didn’t make things more comfortable then why in the world would people even bother leaning their seats back at all? Have you ever considered maybe you’re the outlier here?

    there is a difference between something being the airlines responsibility, and you still having some form of etiquette and thought for others when said airline wont fix the issue.

    just because it shouldn’t be your problem doesn’t mean it isn’t. absolute individualism is a curse

    lazyslacker ,

    If we acquiesce and make up for the airline’s failures by taking matters into our own hands, that just enables the airline to continue to not fix the issue. It’s the same thing as tipping at restaurants. We have to tip because the staff don’t get paid enough otherwise. The restaurant is passing off their shortcomings to the customers. The system only works because we agree to participate in it.

    lazyslacker ,

    So the seat is there and it can be reclined but I’m not allowed to recline it because… courtesy? What if there just happens to be nobody sitting behind me? Should I still not recline as a gesture of solidarity to the people who feel social pressure not to recline? The airline is at fault if we’re going through these mental calculations. Every passenger should feel free and unencumbered to use 100% of the facilities on the plane they paid for. The airline should ensure it. They’ve failed to keep their passengers comfortable if they don’t. The blame for that shouldn’t be passed to other passengers.

    scrubbles ,
    @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

    Yes, airlines literally have failed to keep customers comfortable, that’s the entire point. Zero people are comfortable on that flight, and everyone knows that when someone reclines back into them it becomes even less comfortable. You aren’t making your experience better, you’re making someone else’s worse. The airline failed by making seats uncomfortable, and you’re making a bad situation worse for the person behind you.

    Just because you can do things does not mean that you aren’t an asshole for doing those things. You’re allowed to block aisles in a grocery store, to go slower than the speed limit, to buy the last two packages of cookies when you know the person next to you also wants one, you’re allowed to do lot’s of things in life. It doesn’t mean you’re not an asshole for doing it. (In fact the entitled attitude you have without a care for anyone else kinda really drives home that you are)

    If no one is behind you then recline away.

    lazyslacker ,

    Reclining certainly does make my experience better.

    I refuse to accept responsibility for the consequences of a scenario that I didn’t create.

    Ideally the airline should simply make it so that the seats can’t recline.

    Enjoy getting kicked repeatedly then. If you don't like it it's not the person kicking you who is responsible you can talk to the airline if you don't like it.

    jtmetcalfe ,

    Ok I’ll bite. Blocking the whole aisle at the grocery store shouldn’t be something that’s looked down on. The person rudely interrupting my conversation should be more looked down on. The reason is that having a conversation doesn’t intrinsically interfere with anyone else, but interrupting us and walking in front of us absolutely does.

    All shoppers have the same and equal freedom to have a conversation if they choose, except for the people without friends of course. If that interferes with the shopping of the person trying to get by me that’s not my problem. The designers of the grocery stores should ensure that the aisles are wider so they can get by me. The grocery store constructed this scenario all by themselves and if there’s a problem with it they should solve it themselves. I shouldn’t be asked to sacrifice my conversation when I’m buying groceries (just like everyone else) because they failed to do that.

    If we’re really insistent that this is somehow not 100% the grocery store’s problem, I’d next argue that if you don’t have enough room to get by in a regular row, then you’re literally too big for that store. You should go fuck yourself. The grocery should force you to do so.

    hydrospanner ,

    I think it’s more the inconveniencing of everyone around them.

    If they meet each other in the aisle and decide to go off into a more open area or out of the way corner to continue their conversation, far fewer people would take issue.

    Instead, often, two people will block an entire aisle, oblivious to everyone around them. Hence the meme.

    “Oh hey, my friend is in this aisle, and I don’t see anybody else here, so no harm in talking.”

    Not their fault if after that they’re too distracted talking to notice someone walk past the aisle, looking in to see that it’s blocked, and choosing to go around instead of saying “excuse me.”

    Yes, I am incredibly unfriendly when I'm trying to get my shit done. I want to be out of that place as fast as fucking possible. I don't want to linger, I don't want to chat, and I sure as fuck have never in my life been so distracted that a hundred other moving, talking people just vanished completely from my awareness. Is that some kind of ADHD thing? Some manifestation of executive dysfunction, like always being late and never letting anyone else talk in a conversation if they can't actively shout over you?

    ParsnipWitch ,

    It’s interesting that you see someone having a talk and not being a 100 % aware of their surroundings at that moment as “self-centred”. Believing that everyone all the time should be aware of you and move out of the way for you in a hurry so you aren’t inconvenienced for even a second also comes off as quite self-centred.

    VoxAdActa ,

    It's not just me. If I was literally the only other person in the store, sure, I could understand that, they thought they were alone, they weren't expecting to encounter anyone else.

    How the fuck do you just stop being aware of an entire seething mass of other humans flowing around you?

    DaBabyAteMaDingo ,

    I live for these awkward moments:

    • Not going on a green light because you’re looking down at your glowing crotch? Insta-long-honk

    • You and your friend are blocking a doorway while chatting? hand on shoulder “Pardon me, young man! Appreesheeyateyah!”

    BigNote ,

    More than one thing can be true at once. Sure, saying “excuse me” is perfectly reasonable, but it’s also true that a lot of people are obnoxiously oblivious of their surroundings in public.

    some_guy ,

    Such as a group of four people who stop in the middle of the sidewalk to chat and don’t notice / make room when someone is trying to walk by. I shouldn’t have to ask you to make room. I will, but you should be self-aware enough to allow others to pass.

    For example, people who only turn on their left turn signal when a light turns green. Asshole, if you’d had that on before, I would have changed lanes when approaching a red light. Now I’m stuck because the other lane is full of moving cars and I’m waiting for you to turn. Does it ruin my day? No. But it’s still inconsiderate.

    People don’t think of others nearly enough. It’s truly one of my greatest irritations.

    Spendrill ,

    I have started employing a practice I learned in the Post Office. When approaching I say in a very loud and cheery voice, “Mind your backs, please, mind your backs [ladies and gentlemen*]” repeat until they move and then say, 'Thank you very much, [Ladies and Gents**]."

    It pretty much always works to move them out of your way if you say it loud enough and usually the cheeriness means they don’t feel awkward. The trick to it all is to keep walking once they’ve noticed you.

    Praise Satan for grocery delivery and pickup. No more memorizing a store or searching for an hour for that one little thing. No more women getting creeped out for no other reason than you’re a man in a grocery store. As if, beach - no one wants to fuck you.

    I feel like theres more to the story when you say ‘women getting creeped out’

    SilentStorms ,

    No kidding. If you think you’re creeping out women by being “a man in a grocery store” there’s something off about either your behaviour or your perception of the world.

    Nah man, not in my parts. Women shop, men hunt. I don’t play that way.

    BanMeAgainIWontStop ,

    This reads like an infomercial 🤣

    It’s really not that bad, nobody is creeped out by dudes, it’s in your head.

    Store associates (and their little stock search devices) exist so you don’t have to memorize the store or search for an hour. Just ask them a question, that’s literally their edit: our job.

    Weird that so many people are being so downvoted for saying that conversation is a healthy thing and “excuse me” is an option.

    I meant in comparison to those complaining that people chatting in a grocery store aisle have 0 empathy.

    BigNote ,

    I think it’s because people see it as implying that the fact that one can say “excuse me” implies that it’s therefore OK to be obnoxiously oblivious in public. I could be wrong, but I think that’s what is going on.

    exactly, it shouldn’t have to require asking for you to be courteous. You should just be courteous, unprompted. If you want to have a conversation that’s great, just kindly move off to the side

    this is secretly a meme about how mothers are slowly isolated from their friends by a society that expects them to be full-time caretakers and nothing but—to the point that they apparently need an excuse to spend an hour chatting about their life with their peers

    erogenouswarzone ,
    @erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml avatar

    Interesting take. I didn’t even consider that perspective.

    Now I feel bad for being mad at them for taking time off my life to deal with their inconsiderate behavior.

    We need to cripple the housing market and all move in together. 'Member the big buildings in Dredd? That’d be cool, except no to all the drugs and pollution.

    DudePluto ,

    Yes to making housing more affordable but also, for your consideration: have more orgies. You’ll feel a lot closer to your fellow community members

    Holodeck_Moriarty ,

    Plus an added bit of children-hating, which is just weird.

    When you have kids, you’ll get it.

    Lol. Oh, your kids are perfect little angels that are never annoying I assume. Congrats.

    hoodatninja ,
    @hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

    Hell no but there’s a lot in between you’re pretending doesn’t exist. Children aren’t either satan or Jesus dude.

    AngryCommieKender ,

    Jesus was a child at one point. Checkmate theists.

    Sotuanduso ,

    Jesus wasn’t a 100% easy to manage child. Remember that time he stayed behind when Mary and Joseph were heading home from a festival, and they searched for him for several days? (Luke 2:41-49)

    BanMeAgainIWontStop ,

    Naw, very big truth to this one. Sorry not sorry, happens at least every other visit. Many times will involve a dense husband but almost always older women.

    hoodatninja ,
    @hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

    Whatever man. Y’all have blown this way out of proportion. This thread is utterly bizarre to me. I’m done lol

    BanMeAgainIWontStop ,

    👌

    katie_lied ,

    Quickest way to get them to love is to join their conversation.

    “Oh my god Stacy, haven’t seen you in ages! How are the kids?”

    ME: “Hi Stacy, wow I thought you only used that name on OnlyFans”
