Should’ve shown a CD with someone putting their dumb fingers all over it, that’s the more common one I’ve seen.

Who the fuck dunks an entire hand into a drink?!

One of my friends girlfriend does this on occasion. I recently discovered this to my horror.

RIP, your buddy

Obviously it is an exaggeration, but I have seen people (including waiters!) taken glasses in such way where their thumb is on inner side of the glass, while not in the liquid itself.

You forgot the NSFL tag. This just hurts.

All terrible, but what about hanging back anything sharp blade first, like a knife or scissors?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This is best answer. The number of people that don't know knife etiquette is really alarming. If you put your greasy fingers on my sunglasses I have to wipe them off. If you inadvertently stab me, that problem is slightly more likely to ruin my day.

I will extend this one step further and say that there are far too many people (Americans) who have firearms and don't know firearms etiquette, which is essentially firearms safety. There are a few things that might fall into the "just etiquette" category, but almost all of it is safety based. I just had to tell somebody that looking downrange through their scope (even with their bolt open) when I'm downrange hanging a target is considered bad form. They legitimately had no idea but were completely polite about it and said that it made sense and they felt silly for not knowing. I don't want to start a firearms debate, but I think one thing people can agree on is if you're going to have firearms you need to handle them with respect/caution. I think in general the shooting/firearms community could do a better job not shaming people for asking "stupid questions". I walked out of a range not long ago because I got a condescending answer to a basic safety question. After reading their rules I had a question about the unusual wording. I'm not going to walk onto the line not understanding the house rules. If that is cause to be a dick I assume other things aren't in order.

The guitar strings are fine. You’ll just need to tune up like you would anyway.

If they try that with a Les Paul, they might lop off a finger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Those are best held by the dangly bar thing in the middle.

I once got a haircut from someone who did the glasses one to me!
Not only did she take off my glasses instead of asking me to take them off, but she grasped them as in the picture. I was so perplexed, I didn’t know what to say and just sat there.

Handing a knife the wrong way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I spent a few minutes with my kid a week or so ago explaining how to hand stuff to someone else, with a focus on sharp and pointy things. Now she hands silverware and knives to people the correct way.

Now I need to train my wife to do the same. Might take a little longer.

Just looking at this gives me anxiety.

-Irrational anger sets in-

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seems fairly rational to me.

[–] Ubermeisters 3 points 1 year ago

No. My anger repeats eternally without a defined pattern, and cannot be fractionalized.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The anger is irrational- it clouds your mind when you murder those people.

[–] Ubermeisters 2 points 1 year ago

Easy there satan
