    the "I don't know, you pick" problem has such an easy solution.

    You go to Taco Bell every single time. Even if you don't want Taco Bell, you go to Taco Bell.

    Then, when your significant other says "Anywhere but Taco Bell" you pick another place and go to it until they are saying "Not China Garden." So then you go back to Taco Bell

    What I'm saying is I'd probably be great at being married

    Nah Stig, no fat rolls of cash for me. I top out at bags of small change.
    In the end, it's probably my fault for going clothes shopping on a Tuesday. Poor bastards probably haven't had any customers, then I walk in and am the best thing that's happened all day.

    God, that's a depressing thought right there. That I might be the best part of someone else's day...

    Look dude, I only want to buy a couple of shirts because the shirts I have are starting to sprout loose threads. I don't want an entire new wardrobe, just the shirts.
    No, really that's okay. You don't have to point out the clearance rack full of mildly amusing tee shirts, I just want these two dress shirts.
    No, you can put those blank tee shirts back on the shelf, yes I see how nicely they coordinate with the shirts I wanted, but I have enough gray tee shirts that will do the job just as well.
    No, my shoes are fine, and I'm pretty well set in the way of socks.
    No, I bought a new belt 2 weeks ago, it's still pretty good at holding my pants up.
    For fuck's sake, I don't need new pants. Just the shirts. Please, just let me buy the shirts and go home...

    You've gotta know how to say no firmly and immediately turn or walk away. Any time you stall to say no, you're just giving them openings.

    Mind you, this is a fine line to walk because it can easily step into the realm of being an uppity asshole customer.

    Pestering asshole salesclerks don't get to complain about uppity asshole customers. If they don't listen to me the first time I said "No, I just want these two shirts" or whatever, then fuck them for being disrespectful. At that stage they've earned themselves a dose of uppity asshole customer. Go steal oxygen somewhere else while I buy my damb shirts.

    Quick question, in your experience, do you run into assholes all the time, or only once in a while?

    which thread was it where people were talking about the gender differentials in sneezes

    and someone expressed astonishment that women don't generally throw the entire force of their body into expelling air through their nose and mouth when they sneeze

    ... motherfuckers
    you mean you CHOOSE to make it more forceful???

    my mom yells as loud as she can when she sneezes

    she maintains that it's just how she sneezes, but that has to be bullshit

    like, I could hear it outside when I was playing and she'd sneeze

    Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    I once told Piggy that one of my biggest dislikes is people who burp really loudly. I was quite strident about this. It turns out that I may have gone too far, as a few months later Piggy accidentally burped and then immediately started to cry.

    Yeah, I figured you were being facetious, but I wanted to be sure.

    The point of it was that they don't try to stifle it, and instead force it out as hard as possible, shaking the furniture.

    The people I know who do this (and I do know them very personally) don't have a "medical condition" that keeps them from sneezing into a sound muffling device, or god forbid trying to stifle it internally. And I don't mean just not sneezing, I mean hold in the explosion as much as possible

    I'm just teasing you a bit, cause that person is me. there is no muffle. there is no stifle. my head would explode and then you would have brains and mucus everywhere. in a previous life I was a battleship and I sneeze a nine-cannon salute every time a seaman is buried. you don't plug up that hole, man

    I was never aware you could repress a sneeze. It sounds painful and I would suggest maybe you never do that. Cover your nose/mouth, sure. Hold it in? You'll blow your eyes out.

    I sneeze with hardly any noise. It is not rocket science guys.

  • FyndirFyndir Registered User regular
    According to a website I just found the way to sneeze more quietly is to hold your breath, clench your jaw and teeth, open your lips, push at the base of your nose with one finger, cough at the same time, and use a blackout curtain for a handkerchief to muffle any remaining noise.

    This sounds complicated.

    Sneezing is an involuntary reaction. Being annoyed by people sneezing is sort of dumb.

    Whenever people sneeze, I tell them to shut up

    I find this elicits more laughs than "bless you"

    It helps that people who know me know I'm hardly ever serious about anything

    Literally nobody has said people shouldn't sneeze. The only point of discussion is how much noise you make when you do so.

    I didn't realize you could control the volume of sneezes, outside of stifling them, which is mighty uncomfortable.

    All I know is when I sneeze I can do it loudly or quietly. I do it quietly because it actually hurts my chest to do it loudly.

    I can only assume other people must therefore be able to sneeze quietly as well. Because otherwise it means I have superpowers.
