Fuck that, they want equal rights, then they can have equal amounts of pushing and shovin' too.

ChaosWulf · 8th March 2008, 11:50

Surely "common" courtesy would dictate that the first person through the door holds it open for those who follow, regardless of gender?

CCS · 8th March 2008, 11:53

I'd hold it open long enough for them to grab it as they pass through. I'm not a friggin doorman.

ChaosWulf · 8th March 2008, 11:59

Agreed - if its something like a cinema. But if its only a few people, I can't see the harm.

CCS · 8th March 2008, 12:24

Most people are just so unappreciative. Death to them.

Common courtesy has unfortunately gone much the same way as common sense these days.

Yeah, I do this.. i'm kinda old-fashioned sometimes.
oo see what I did there?

dead goon · 9th March 2008, 04:07

because it makes YOU feel good? Jesus thats selfish.

I always think about them, before me when opening the door. Hence why I do it in the first place.

leadinjector · 9th March 2008, 09:38

i was opening the door to my building the other day while holding my bike, which is a knida fiddly thing to do- as i was opening, obviously with a bit of difficulty, some asian girl comes up smiles at me says thanks and walks through the dor. fucking bitch thought i was opening it for her! every time ive been in that situation ive held the door for the person. shoulda wrapped my bicycle round her face

Haydos · 9th March 2008, 09:42

Getting the fucking flu a couple months out from a race, meaning I have to take it easy in training for two weeks to completely get over it - hate that.

I'm on the door opening bandwagon too. It is just good manners, and some chicks appreciate it as well.

Because nobody ever uses the same joke twice on the internet.

Douche.

CCS · 9th March 2008, 14:01

Only when it's cumbuckets like you who use the same joke FOUR POSTS AFTER THE FIRST JOKE. Idiot.

What sort of a dumb excuse is that, anyway? "So what if I ran down that old lady on the pedestrian crossing. It's not like other people haven't done it."

Juju · 9th March 2008, 14:05

What? It's not cool to do that anymore?

oh.

I'm not seeing the same joke 4 posts above mine? So what the fuck are you talking about? I see you have a new dose of anger, not able to beat off over Haydos any are you?

Students

Not only do they decide that 5 AM is an awesome time to crank their stereo so loud, it can be heard across George St through 2 closed windows down the other end of the house (IE: An entire building and a road away), but then bitch that "You should have thought of that before you moved into town" when approached extremely calmly about it. (My wife has that scary "I've worked in a call centre for 5+ years dealing with complaints from morons with loads more clout than you" calm about her).

Fuck you asswipe, we've been here a lot longer than you and have seen multiple tenants move in and out of your plague ridden apartment. You're the only ones inconsiderate and stupid enough to piss your neighbours off on a regular basis. (That fire escape?...that's not a balcony. Yes it may look like one, but legally you're not allowed out there. Esp not till 7AM drinking and singing shit songs at the top of your just broken voices. Dunedin Central is a Liquor Free Zone dickheads)

Let's see you worm your way out of that when you're getting evicted cos your landlord has had enough of dealing with the DCC and Noise Control.

Dickwads.

It wouldn't be nearly as bad had I not been awake most of the night anyway due to the fucking fresher flu the cunts have brought with them.

The confusion happened because CCS quoted the ginga part of the post.

MoP made a subtle joke by having a large gap following a quote, something you did 4 posts later.

Besides, I would've thought Ashley would at least have the smarts to realise what I was getting at. Guess I overestimated him.

Yar I was looking for the ginga part, didn't give it much thought after that.

Its the internet ccs, get over yourself.

Cereal Killar · 9th March 2008, 18:21

Fucktards who think it's cool to tailgate. Coming home along Rosebank Rd on Friday night pushing just under 60 km/hr (not wanting to do any more as the Police love the road from what I've seen) and some tools in a red PFL S14 think they'll tailgate. I move over to the left a bit to let them past but they don't overtake (other side of the road was clear to get pass me on, but they could have used the median strip to be honest) and they fall back a little. Few seconds later they decide to do it again. At that point, feeling a tad enraged, I hit the anchors. Needless to say, they thought better of it at that point and kept a hell of a lot further back.

Giving China the Olympics was such a fucked up thing to do. I was already pretty meh about the Olympics anyway, with all the drugs and cheating and shit. But now the spirit isn't even there.

have you ever tried to evict someone when there's a tenancy agreement? It's near unpossible

Get your head out of your god damn ass.

Something that grinds my gears - Animal activists who have no fucking clue about the reality of their own country when judging other countries.
