    Being completely unaware of anyone else:

    • Standing in doorways, using your phone or having a conversation
    • Talking loudly when inappropriate, when I’m in pain at the doctors, I don’t want to hear about your roses
    • leaving your shopping trolley blocking the aisle sideways in the supermarket while looking for your stuff
    • driving down the middle of the road so everyone else has to pull over, when there’s plenty of room for two cars to pass
    • stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
    • riding your delivery bike down the footpath at high speed weaving between pedestrians

    As Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Hell is other people”.

      stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is

      That’s my new pet peeve. The thing is I don’t remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone’s brains way more than we realize.

        Someone stopped in front of me… on an offramp. Luckily there was nobody behind me to hit me, but that’s an insane place to stop. No hazard lights, no indication. Just stopped.

      I can’t find a source right now, because I just woke up and I don’t want to, so (Trust Me Bro, et al, 2024) but there’s a chance that quote is actually about Nazis!

      A lot of French people referred to them as “the others” and would often speak sort of semi-codedly about them in writing and such so as not to piss off their new overlords. So that line may well not have been “I’m such an introvert that being around other humans is like being in hell” but instead “hell has delivered itself to my doorstep in the form of goose-stepping bastards”

        That’s not at all what the quote is and neither is the top level commenter’s interpretation, and I think it not being these is pretty obvious if you read No Exit. The point that he was making (and this is putting it crassly because I know jack shit about his Heidegger-based phenomenology) is the presence of other people forces us to be self-conscious, to regard ourselves as the object of someone else’s perception and judgement. That’s why Sartre goes out of his way to say the room (their jail cell in Hell, effectively) had no reflective surfaces, so that the character’s perception of themselves could only come from the people they are stuck with (this doesn’t entirely make sense, but I am pretty sure it’s what he meant). You can read him talk about some of the premises informing this by checking out his writing on “The Look,” like is quoted below this comic.

        So it’s a slightly obtuse point about intersubjectivity that people have turned into a cutesy way of talking about their own misanthropy. It’s probably more emblematic of the meaning of the quote how people in this thread, original commenter especially, are talking about silently judging people for this and that action.

    “Passive income” if you describe yourself as having a passive income, I want nothing to do with you.

    Passive income is a myth - all income requires labor… if you’re getting income without putting in labor then you’re stealing someone else’s income.

        I don’t because I’m not working in the US but I do have a retirement fund. I can critize the system we live in and those that revel in exploiting it while also realizing that if I completely eschew investment I’ll be a pauper. I’m not going to bankrupt myself and be unable to afford my partner’s medical expenses to win an argument on the internet.

        I’m aware that the stock market is slicing off income from laborers in an unjust manner - it slices off my income as well… I don’t celebrate participating in this system, but I do participate in it while acknowledging how bad it is. It isn’t a significant portion of my income and if I could personally will it out of existence I would.

            It’s a critical element of the financialization of the economy that has lead to it becoming even more irrational and unstable than it was before. Easy example, look up stock buybacks. It’s not just that though, it’s the entire system of obligation to shareholders to deliver quarterly gains with no concern for employees or even the long-term health of the company.

      You’re heart is in the right place, but your conclusion is wrong. It’s entirely possible to build a passive income without involving anyone else’s labor. Without even getting into things like investment income, which I’m assuming you’ll still attribute to someone else’s labor in the most abstract sense, there are still plenty of ways to do this. I personally lived off mostly passive income for several years when blogging was big. I created a bunch of blogs myself, did all of the development and design myself, managed the servers myself, and wrote all of the content myself. Then I put a few non-intrusive ads on the sites. When they started generating pretty good money, I mostly stopped working on them. They continued generating decent money until social media killed blogging. I still have one of them, and I receive around $60 per month from it despite the fact that I haven’t touched it in over a decade. So, how exactly was/am I stealing someone else’s labor?

        Sure sounds like labour to me.

        And there is no requirement for labour to generate income immediately. A majority of labour is front-loaded, with income being back-loaded.

        I still have one of them, and I receive around $60 per month from it despite the fact that I haven’t touched it in over a decade.

        Server maintenance and updating code to work with current releases is still “labour”. Because sure as shit you’ve been doing these things… no hosting provider is going to let you go 10 years with zero updates or patches to the website or the underlying framework that allows the website to run. Because failing to do that is how entire hosting platforms get rooted and infected with malware.

          Yes, my labor, which resulted in passive income. Nobody is saying that passive income is a magical thing which you just acquire without effort. You invest the effort, and then you sit back and reap the rewards.

            By your definition game development (in the old style) is also passive income… so is art… so is building a house or a car or pretty much any form of manufacturing.

            These activities all involve building something with no promise of selling it - then trying to find a buyer… in each case you, the producer, are investing up front in a venture which may or may not succeed and then hoping someone will pay you for it.

              Homebuilding would be active income, since you can only sell each house once. Game development would be a good example for someone like the Minecraft creator. He invested a bunch of time creating this cool game, and then he sat back and got rich. It’s passive at that point (assuming no maintenance, bug fixes, etc.), since he continues to gain sales, despite only doing the work once. The digital realm is full of opportunities for passive income, or at least it used to be. Corporations have essentially shoved individual creators out of the market.

              Edit: I’m aware that the Minecraft creator sold the game, but was using his earlier experiences as an example. I read an interview with him once and he said “I think I was already rich by the time I thought ‘holy shit, I’m going to be rich!’”.

      I make about $1k a month absolutely, completely passively from Amazon. I’ve put in maybe 30 minutes in three years. When I tell people this, they see that passive income is real.

      Then I tell them about the years before that, where I spent every second I had making shirt and book designs. I had made a single sale early on and I saw the potential, so I sunk every godforsaken hour I had to spare (I also worked full time) designing and uploading, researching, networking, and pushing. I gambled, grafted, and earned it.

      It’s absolutely worth the investment, but I only know that now. Back then it was an insane gamble - hundreds of hours of proper work for ???. I stop telling people about my ‘passive’ income now because no one wants to ruin the dream of freeeee money.

          It’s always “man have small peepee, man bald, man fat, man have smaller than average features, man short,” with all replies being “haha so original and funny.” But god forbid someone said anything like that about a woman, at that moment everyone remembers body shaming exists and piles on and says things like “don’t objectify women.” Why the double standard? Do men not deserve the right to be comfortable with their bodies as well? Don’t objectify me either.

      Or the people who are determined to discuss bullshit at length that is completely unrelated while there is an extended line behind them. I’m empathetic if you’re lonely, but this isn’t the time or place. Take your ass to a bar (you can order food/non-alcoholic drinks if you like), and you can run your mouth to the patrons there. You can also go to parks, live sports, live music, hobbie/enthusiast events, etc. All these events have people you can mingle with, but fucking lines with captive employees and other people tattooed behind you trying to conduct business isn’t the place.

    Leaving things they decided they don’t want just wherever in a store. It’s annoying as a customer, because now I have to dig through their mess to get the product I actually wanted, and even moreso as an employee.

    At least put it back in the right department. The underpaid employees who have been there since before the store opened for the day really don’t want to have to play the game of “How long has this ground beef been sitting in a produce basket, and how much product did we just lose?”

        You can and will find terrifying things working in grocery.

        I once found a pack of beef jerky that had become 90% mold. It was tucked all the way towards the back of the shelves, partially shoved into the crack between two of them. We had no clue how long it had been sitting back there, because jerky rarely needed a full teardown.

            Found a package of ground beef randomly hidden in the very back of the milk cooler. Thankfully kept fairly cool, and still in date, but a customer had stuck it there because he wanted to come back later. He came back the next day and tried to file a complaint because it wasn’t there.

            Fish left in the bathroom. Like, straight up a pack of salmon fillets, just left there on the top of the toilet tank. Our best guess was that someone wanted to steal it, but either couldn’t fit it or got spooked and just abandoned it. It was in a far corner, barely used bathroom, too.

            Half eaten fruit or candy thats been shoved to the back of a low shelf. You know a kid did it, there’s massive mess back there, and depending on what aisle they hid it in, it might have been there for a couple days to a week. Once found a bell pepper some kid had chomped into.

            This is more just “general trash”, but still not uncommon if your store has a hotbar: Stolen food containers. People grab their dinner, eat it throughout the store, and then just put the trash wherever. If you’re lucky, they leave it somewhere obvious. If you’re unlucky, you find an open container of half-eaten rotisserie chicken shoved into a vent after they turned the heat on for the winter. Going past the deli in my store has triggered minor PTSD at times. That smell… Just… Hot rot. That’s the only way to describe it. Rotting garbage, oven warmed.

      I think there’s some misconceptions about this that need to be cleared up. If you don’t want it and you’ve already moved away from the section, the best thing to do is take it to the register and say you don’t want it. Then what typically happens is it gets put in a take-back cart and the employees take care of it

        One of my stranger experiences as a cashier was watching someone waiting to be checked out change their mind and start trying to abandon some ground beef among the candy bars at the checkout. Apparently handing it over to me didn’t occur to them. At least when I pointedly offered, “If you don’t want that I’ll take it.” they handed it over.

          No, it’s not. People often forget where they got it from, and it might have been in the wrong place to begin with or already expired. Take it to the front.

          Sincerely, someone who worked at a grocery store

    People being shitty to customer service workers and utility, and people not being courteous to them.

    Heck, I sometimes judge people for not thanking service workers and utility. For example: if a janitor lets you pass a hallway they’ve been busy cleaning, I’d silently judge you if you don’t thank the janitor for letting you pass. Another example is in a fast food setting: if the person on the counter gives you your order, I’d silently judge you if you don’t say “thank you”.

      If someone is cleaning a floor and I have to walk over it, they’re getting several sorrys and at least 2 thank yous, while I do that shrink my body to the side and putting my palms out towards them like a peasant not trying to be whipped by a landed gentry.

      I’ve mopped professionally. It sucks.

        Agreed!

        If I were in that situation, I’d profusely apologize for having to pass through, and would give as much thanks as I did apologies after I’m through. I’d also make sure my footwear touch the floor as little as possible (likely by walking on my toes or the sides of my feet), and try to stick as close to the wall as possible. All just so that they can just redo a limited area after I’ve passed through.

        I’ve never done that for a living, but I dread having to clean my room, sweep the floors, mopping it and such. I really feel for those people who had to mop the floors in high-traffic areas.

      Oh my God my fucking in laws… Literally any amount of poor service or delay and they’re taking a passive aggressive tone with service workers. It’s absolutely insane. Like, no, I do not think this person has personally slighted you, it’s just rush hour and everybody else is also ordering food right now.

    All the people typing “loose” when they mean “lose”. Shit’s been happening a lot for the past year or two and I don’t know why.

        Some rules weaken, and others are created or subtly change - that’s why parents can never get their kids’ slang quite right. It’s not that the parents can’t simply weaken their grammar, it’s that the kids do some things differently with very strict rules.

      Because phonetically, it’s “loos” vs “looz”. And people don’t care enough to know or apply the difference.

      I know of a multi-million dollar company that was about to launch a new marketing campaign. We are talking ads, dozens of trucks getting rewrapped, marketing materials, catalogs featuring the tagline; the whole nine. It would have been tens of thousands of dollars spent.

      They used “loose” instead of “lose” in the tag. The error was caught by the CEO’s secretary without a degree.

      It had gotten past upper management and the marketing department without being noticed.

    Not using their turn signals if the only other traffic is pedestrians.

    So many times I’ve been crossing an intersection to the opposite corner where I could cross either street first, so I pick the street that won’t block the car crossing the other way. They’re not signalling so I figure they’re going straight, and cross the other way so they won’t have to wait for me—but seemingly every time it turns out the car was really turning after all. So they’re stuck because they couldn’t conceive of pedestrians as traffic they need to communicate with.

      I don’t understand how people don’t indicate in general. It’s just so automatic for me, I’d need to make a conscious effort not to.

      Sometimes I accidentally indicate because I’m going around a sharp bend that my brain registers as a corner 😂

      Not only this annoyance you mentioned, but my personal little saying is that turn signals aren’t just for the benefit of who you see, but more importantly for anyone you don’t see!

      You should have already made sure you’re clear of everyone before you think about leaving your current path. Using the indicator is a preventative measure for the sake of yourself and anyone in a blind spot or that you failed to notice.

        I once had a passenger criticise me for indicating a turn when there were no others cars around. She said it showed I was driving without thinking, automatically signalling when it wasn’t needed. I think I said something like “fuck you” or maybe “I’ll drop you off here then if you don’t like my driving”. I’m signalling my intentions to the universe! Behold my blinking lights, for I am voyaging leftwards!

          Stop, you’re being too safe! 😂

          The only times anyone is to be criticized for signally is if it is waaaay before where you’re actually turning so that people think you just bumped the stalk or if you just leave it on and don’t know it.

      Just not using turn signals in general and lack of road etiquette is enough for me to judge people pretty verbally in my car, though nobody else ever hears it, so I guess it counts as a secret. You’re driving a machine that can kill people out of negligence, the least you can fucking do is show some common courtesy and signal what you’re intending to do with it and what direction you’re going to move. People have more common courtesy when they’re walking on the street and no danger to others, yet they moment they’re behind a wheel and much more dangerous, it’s like they have nothing but middle fingers for everybody else around them.

    Whenever another guy recommends something I find repulsive, for various reasons, I tend to write off most respect I had for that person.
    Lately some guys have talked positively about Andrew Tate, and it’s just made it easier for me to know who is a gullible prick and who to avoid.

    People who brag their infant child is so smart they can use YouTube to find and watch videos when in reality they’re shitty parents who got a 2-year old addicted YouTube that’s specifically designed to be navigable by kids.

      Oh yeah, I’ll quickly shut that down when they wanna do that “kids these days with the technology” nonsense, usually as some excuse for why these older folks who’ve had 40+ years to figure out computers still can’t check their own email.

      No, Timmy isn’t “so smart with technology” because he can consoom on a device designed for infinite low-friction consumption.
