I think we're kind of talking past each other, but I can't tell? This meme is trouble.

the condom/bag photo is originally from the onion, where it was attached to a funnier joke:

(though I did lol at the bag joke as well, mea culpa)

Ok, I lost control at the Onion's joke.

Yeah maybe it's a coincidence but the optics in that pic are of a white guy who doesn't want to get too close to black people.

embryo mtv raps (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 12 May 2016 13:18 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, I pondered how to mention that.

Mark G, Thursday, 12 May 2016 13:39 (seven years ago) link

it'll be funny when someone grabs that little hoop and whirls him into traffic.

pplains, Thursday, 12 May 2016 13:44 (seven years ago) link

fuck that guy, fuck that concept, fuck the underlying argument of that being a reasonable line of thinking in the first place, fuck anyone who walks side by side down the sidewalk and doesn't fall into single file when you pass people on the sidewalk. don't live in a city if you don't like people standing close to you.

unless you're autistic or something

everybody OTM. also the guy is very clearly dicking around on his phone, to boot

hard to tell but i like to think that's a pentagram

Yes, these people are terrible. The amount of bad sidewalk etiquette is appalling.

It's a bitter sweet symphony, sure.

Mark G, Thursday, 12 May 2016 14:31 (seven years ago) link

Obviously taking up more than your fair share of the pavement is abominable behaviour (though I suspect the thinking behind the [clearly not actually serious] invention is a retaliation against ~other people~ taking up too much pavement, and thus so goes a self-perpetuating cycle of aggravation that is the modern city). But I'm a bit "uh" about this: don't live in a city if you don't like people standing close to you. Like, do you genuinely believe everybody in the world gets to choose where they live? Do you not realise that this is not at all a possibility for billions of people?

emil.y, Thursday, 12 May 2016 14:38 (seven years ago) link

i think it's a more workable possibility for that guy than building a personal space halo out of pvc pipe
to be clear: i'm responding somewhat facetiously to a meme. I'm well aware of the lifestyle/financial restrictions of urban dwellers as I am one myself. No friendly fire intended.

intimate zone = the left shin

i will only support that hoop when the guy finishes the pentagram

ejemplo (crüt), Thursday, 12 May 2016 15:24 (seven years ago) link

So based on the chart that guy's hoop size is set to "friend zone"

Sean, let me be clear (silby), Friday, 13 May 2016 02:34 (seven years ago) link

Difficult one to judge. Evidence for the prosecution:

- man who ate an apple next to me in crowded carriage: kssssssssssssssssssssss-shlunk. kunch kunch kunch. kssssssssssssssssss-shlunk. kunch kunch kunch. yuwulp.

- the corner of someone else's laptop that pushes very quickly into your back or shoulders and honestly feels like a punch, like you turn round angry

- you stand in kitchen alone. you turn round. housemate is there, as if out of nowhere, in what that image describes as your 'intimate zone', standing behind you, sullen and silent. keeps happening, you keep forgiving it as you're pretty sure he's not the full shilling. but then: one day you spot him from the other side, going into the kitchen, and see him ever so carefully opening the door and tip-toeing in ...

OK dude if this is actually happening to you, move the fuck out before he knifes you or something.

@trayce: I have come up with various moving out plans so I have a backdoor in case of this guy going into meltdown.

He's keen on dropping casual references to suicide and self-harm into conversation. FWIW I've rung up a mental health charity and discussed some of his behaviour with them (the kitchen creepin' is only part of it) and they said that overall it sounded like OCPD (as opposed to more regular OCD). Overall I'm more bothered about him doing something to himself than to anyone else ... light at the end of the tunnel is that he's mentioned that his current job gives him a commute that's too long so he himself wants to move.

this isn't something that I see on facebook, but I'm confused by the existence of these seemingly accurate but incredibly banal quote macros. are they made automatically by a bot? are they made for a joke to troll people?
