Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 6

[Xtreme]

Do you think the button is valuable and belongs to the last person who touched it?

Of course

But really if someone's already standing there, the most recent person who arrives should assume it's already been pressed. Pressing it again, and doing so 4-5 times in quick succession isn't going to make the green walking man appear any faster.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Meh. Some people have OCD or whatever. Doesn’t hurt anyone.

As for the shoe thing, yeah, don’t get that. Seems like it would be easier to throw something on.

We used to camp down the beach over the Christmas holidays

You wore thongs in the shower and toilets but apart from that you generally ran around barefoot

Your feet toughen up pretty quickly

Running down the gravel road wasn't an issue

The hot sand was still a bastard though

 

[Madas]

I have OCD, and it irrationally bothers me when my own feet get dirty from my own balcony - and I'm not even barefoot, I'm wearing slides out there.

The thought of being barefoot anywhere in public, other than probably the beach, physically repulses me.

Yeh but that’s you
Believe it or not there’s an inverse reality .
I hate wearing shoes when I don’t have to and go barefoot as much as possible , hate having soft, pasty, white, sensitive feet .

Shopping centre? Sure , probably wouldn’t get much cleaner floors

Dog walking park ? Yeh probably not

Going barefoot is OK at the shops if you are near the beach or at a campground, other than that it's unacceptable.

Even worse is guys wearing ballhuggers at the shops, mainly Germans, at beaches and in campgrounds in Europe.

I hopped in my car the other morning to go get a coffee from Maccas drive thru. When I got there the drive thru was closed so I went barefoot into the restaurant to get it.

Someone's in a mood


So am I. Was waiting at a set of pedestrian lights and the guy who came later pressed the button on the other side so I mouthed I pressed it you dickhead

To be fair I've gotten to pedestrian lights and not pressed it because someone else was already there only to find they hadn't pressed it.

Yeah true. Happened to me twice at the Gold Coast and outside LOTI at KP. Both times I was the one to finally notice and smashed the living shit out of the button in front of everyone.

I'm tough I know

 

[Xtreme]

I've pressed it at an intersection and had every other side but mine go through the cycle. The opposite crossing (going in the same direction) crossed but my side still had the red light /red walking man.

By this time a mini crowd had formed behind me also waiting. I did press it - as evidenced by the light indicator on the button presser.

It finally worked after the next light cycle.

You disgusting monster!

It makes a slow beep after the button is pressed and the sign is still red. The beep gets fast when it's green, then slows when it's red again and when it's steady red and if there's no one else waiting the beep stops. So if you get to the crossing and you can hear a slow beep it means someone has pressed the button.

 

[Plugger35]

I just saw a barefoot guy at my local supermarket in Doubleview which is a borderline beach suburb in Perth so I let it slide.

He was also wearing headphones so even if I called him a disgusting monster I don't think he would have heard me anyway.

That's how blind people know when to cross the road, it still won't help them if some dickhead runs a red light though.

PEople flexing on social media.

Seeing content with guys on a private jet flexing about eating on a jet while you're on your couch.

Tbh. Being on a jet is more effort than its worth.

All of the luxuries in life people flex over arent even that interesting. Maybe its maturity but I'd be happy to live in a barely furnished house drive a 15 year old car, fo yo the gym, watch footy, occasionally go out, go hiking. As a bonus it would be nice to be financially set to travel the country/world. All the material things are merely there to create false happiness.

That's what happened to me last week. This intersection has 3 pedestrian light cycles so had to wait for awhile. Will be going there today so I'm definitely pressing the button!

[Neese]

I press the button at the lights once.

That new Ted Danson show on Netflix has 3 kids in it that call their parents bro and brah constantly. Wanted to reach through the TV and strangle them.

Dumb Street was more emotional and better scripted than any other Aussie soapie. Craig's stool was a cliffhanger of an episode
