and you guys said I only bad mouth the US, I only bad mouth repeating situations, and trust me whatever I've seen in the US is bad, I've seen worst here
Am I the only one who is really pissed off when someone either looks over your shoulder or asks what you're doing and looks at your screen when you're on the computer? I find it obnoxious, rude, and an invasion of privacy, but I don't tell that to anyone because they would just think I'm doing something like looking at porn or whatever and that that is why I don't want them looking, but nobody ever considers that it's just that I value my privacy and hate people being nosy for no reason.

Even better when it's your mother asking "Is that Minecraft?" when you're playing Elite Dangerous.

I feel your pain. My brother likes to barge in uninvited and watch whatever I happen to be doing. I usually just have to say "why are you in here?" and he'll leave, though.
So what the fuck is wrong with todays society? I just held the door for a lady who had her arms full of groceries, and then offered to help her, and then she turns around, drops her groceries, and starts lecturing me on how I'm the reason that sexism is still such a huge issue. Like, what the fuck? How am I responsible for sexism (which now applies to cereal mascots, btw) because I asked a lady if she needed help? Sure, the inherent reason I helped her was sexist, in that I helped her and offered to carry her groceries for her was because she was a woman, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do the same for a man. On top of that, how does chivalrous behaviour qualify as sexist? Sorry that this was really ranty, but this just happened and I'm really fucking pissed off right now.

boy, that's one kind of person that I gladly pull out a pistol and put a 9mm into their face with zero regrets, an almost same story with my mom's store with a malay kindergarten teacher with the first words out of her mouth is "saya tak suka orang cina"(I dont like chinese people) also making unreasonable demands, like how is this person even a kindergarten teacher, think of the countless children corrupted by her

You just met a tumblrina! You should have picked up her groceries while she was lecturing you, put them on the other side of the door, and slammed it shut.

No, I wouldn't give her the satisfaction, nor would I want to take the risk of her making an even bigger scene. Instead, I just smiled at her and chuckled on my way out. I think she started to cry at that point, but I thought that the whole situation must look hilarious to everyone else.
