DA Baracus Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 People spell my forename wrong quite a bit. One of my friends has the same forename as me but spelled the other way. I told his mum once that they'd got it wrong when naming him. Didn't go down well. Folk often drop an 'N' from my surname too (the first one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Hmmm.... looking down on people... setting oneself up as being a judge of others behaviour while ignoring their own c#nty utterances...

This woman won’t engage with me in any way shape or form now, and I consider that a plus. Being honest, I’d likely be the first person to help her out if she needed assistance in any way, and I wouldn’t let anyone get aggressive with her if I could help it. I still find that doorstep scenario amusing though, but everyone has their own level of humour. I just couldn't see through the overt racism (an African-American gentleman FFS as it that's relevant) and 'Karenness' to see any humour in it. Just everything about her rubs me the wrong way (calm down Kenneth). And, worst of all she was a wid not! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, she'd be asking to speak to the manager of the justice system, discovering that it's herself, then putting in a complaint to Rishi and demanding that he sack her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Shotgun said: The USA definitely has a large number of people* who believe that if someone is of lower status than them (service industry, low paid, or otherwise powerless), then they're perfectly entitled to treat them like garbage. "If they don't like it, they should get a better job." is a common refrain. The idea of them simply not being arseholes doesn't fit into their worldview. Curiously, during Covid when a lot of service workers were unable to work, many of them took college courses, or vocational training and 'did' get themselves better jobs. Now service industries are struggling to find people willing to accept their shitty positions, shitty pay and shitty conditions and the people* described above are yelling that "Nobody wants to work anymore!" * When I say "people" here, I do of course mean "Republicans". It's certainly not a new thing with Americans, my sister in law worked on cruise ships over 25 years ago and even then she said the Yanks were c***s, and treated most of the crew like shit. There were always lots of Filipino crew members and they would get treated worse than anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Regarding a male Karen, this guy just shot several people who were blocking a road in Panama as part of a protest. Extreme Karen-ing. Theres a video of the confrontation, the guy shoots a protester in cold blood, no threat to him whatsoever. He needs to be in jail a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
