everyone is always acting like there is some crisis of human interaction with one another because everyone is overly sensitive to how strangers approach them and like. no actually its because nobody has any fucking manners. social etiquette has legitimately vanished. it makes interacting with strangers miserable because people don’t know how to fucking behave in public.
like it is rude to stare. it is rude to point. it is rude to have a loud phone conversation in a quiet place. it’s rude to listen to music or videos or whatever on your device with no headphones on a loud volume, or at any volume in an enclosed or quiet space. these are rude things to do. like i’m sorry while some etiquette is silly, an acceptable level of decorum is necessary to make existing in public bearable for everybody…….it is LITERALLY common courtesy
Also, do not fucking photograph or film people without their consent!
Every public place and most private places have security cameras. Existing in public is consenting to be filmed. Which–yeah, sucks. But I’m not about to say that Walmart gets to film us at every conceivable angle, but our fellow humans can’t record us from their own perspective. It’s already a surveillance state. What’s one more camera?
Walmart isn’t gonna post videos of people to make fun of them on the internet you fucking weirdo.
Just heard a customer two aisles over go “Hey, I think this is that special glass that doesn’t shatter when you drop it” followed by the sound of shattering glass. I hate retail.
