Fuck off friend. I'm trying to spread goodness. -

Originally posted by NARCassist fucking lol, i just come home and the idiot downstairs was in the hallway. he pulled out a pack of baccy and said 'here if you need burn', and started offering me some. i just said 'nah i'm alright' and walked up to my flat. 5 minutes later i get a knock at the door, as i open it its him and he comes to barge right in. so i stand there and don't let him pass and he stops. then i got his finger being pointed right in my face and he's slurringly saying 'HAVE YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME? HAVE YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME?' then stood there all drunkenly swaying around and giving me this stupid look. so i just said what you doing, go and start a drunken row with some other idiot will ya. he didn't actually do anything more than take barely half a step inside my door and stick his finger in my face, i'm pretty sure he's trying to get me to go at him so he can run crying to those staff and get me kicked out of here. i'm pretty certain now that's his intentions. obviously i'm gonna have to be a bit careful and watch this cunt now.
nice guy huh? i literally done fuck all but help that guy out with baccy when he first come here and that's how he repays that. these are exactly the people you got to avoid in life. no good horrible cunts. well, i guess i'm gonna have to show him how you really play games then.
Next time when he knocking on your door, be ready and put your phone somewhere you can video record everything. -

Isn't that sad? Like insofar as we have the means to control how much we interact with our neighbors, we elect not to? Community, or even acquaintance, with neighbors is something we tend to try to buy our way out of. I kinda loath the 50s suburban ideal but one thing I do admire about the affluent people of the era is that they seemed to consider participation in the community a virtue.
There are a lot of problem in the US that can't be solved by local communal action, and the "thousand points of light" is a euphemism for pawning the responsibilities of the state off on the citizenry, but it does seem like there are some real problems that really could be solved by people participating in a strong local community, collaborating to provide some simple community services. And aside from the material benefit (in some cases there probably wouldn't be any, staffing a neighborhood trash collection initiative with doctors and lawyers probably isn't economically effective) I think there's a level of simple human wellbeing that comes out of being knowing the people you live with and laboring for an immediate and external good. -

the worst people are those that take a disliking to one of their neighbors for some reason or other and then go on some mission to remove them, like they think they can control who lives where by using all sorts of methods from simple intimidation, to just being awkward to the point of making life unbearable, to constantly reporting on them for things that are often exaggerated or even completely made up. those types can cause so many problems in a community that has a knock on effect that affects more than just their intended targets. and there are a lot of people like this these days who seem to think they have some kind of right to choose who their neighbors are. they can't just accept whoever they get and make an effort to get on with them or at the very least be civil like most people do. that's just life, if you really don't want to live around certain people then make more money and buy somewhere more secluded ffs. we all have neighbors we don't really like, but we still manage to be civil, nobody says you have to go out with them regularly or even have a conversation that consists of much more than just saying hi for the sake of keeping the peace.
see this is also the sort of shit they should be teaching kids in school. its a very valuable lesson that would be of great benefit to society as a whole.

2018-07-30 at 10:58 AM UTCof course a lot of this is created by the media fueling the notion of stereotypes in society and causing people to think they can prejudge somebody without getting to know them first.

For sure the phenomenon of a neighbor with an inexplicable vendetta is real and shitty, but I almost want to call it a symptom of weak community rather than a cause. Like imagine if you knew all your neighbors, had friendships with them, and then someone moves in who for some reason is being a shit to you. No one is going to give that guy the time of day and he'll probably be the one getting nudged out of the community because people know you and what you're like instead of any intra-neighbor conflict being a he-said/they-said situation in the nearly anonymous social structure of neighborhoods that seem to dominate today. -

but as we all know the term grammer nazi is also applied to people who correct others over petty spelling mistakes as well as misuse of grammer. especially when the mistake is on a medium where absolute proper use of spelling and grammer isn't necessary or important like internet forums and SN sites. especially when these are platforms where text speak and alternate spellings and abbreviations are commonplace.
i mean i'm sure you'll agree, benny that people who correct others for such petty unimportant things really are just total dicks who are just using it as a cheap trick to try and make others look and/or feel in some way unnecessarily inadequate. especially as you often use alternate spellings on these boards yourself. i guess the only thing that would make for an even bigger dick would be if somebody, like yourself, who often uses alternate spellings, was to then correct another over something just as petty, don't you think?

yea, less well informed people usually confuse or mixed up gestapo and shoe staffers and common nazis.
anyway, the most importing element in conversations or exchange of ideas arent grandmas or spellings or vocaburglary ....
but semantics.
