‘Mouth Breather’

Like yeah I don’t get this one. We all breathe through our mouths (and noses), because we have to. Yet I read this sometimes as it is used like an insult. So what are you saying? You’re insulting someone for doing what billions of other human beings have to do naturally?

    I adopted the term “Day walkers” to refer to people who walk too slow, take up too much space, or are otherwise unaware in walking areas.

    An example would be a group walking in one direction side by side taking the whole path width. Another would be people standing at the top or bottom of an escalator.

    I think it’s nonsense to anyone who isn’t in the know but easily figured out.

      One of the terms of marrying my partner and buying a home together is we’d be pragmatic about responsibilities. I fucking hate paperwork and am bad with money, so the wife handles all the bills. She hates labor and we want to save money, so I perform basically 100% of the physical duties around the house, from construction projects to small shit like monthly deep cleans. It’s a bit old fashioned, but it works great for us.

      One of my terms was that she did all of our grocery shopping (she wanted it anyways, she likes it). I can’t stand the lack of situational awareness from people in stores. It drives me fucking nuts.

        Sound like a great relationship 😁

        I’m glad people are enjoying their time and leisure, just leave some lanes open. I’d rather they enjoy their day instead of getting bumped while I’m on my way to work.

          Yeah see, I wouldn’t do that. I would just be visibly irritated and dissociating about beating that person up.

          But that would be fucking stupid and unjustifiably mean, so I have the responsible wherewithal to keep my jerk ass at home lmao
