- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

So dumb.. the divider is for her and the checkout person’s benefit. for fuck sakes
Yeah, but social punishment for rudeness is how you get a world where strangers are polite to each other
Causing a tiny inconvenience for yourself is worth it
Bwahaha sure it is.. look at what the OP posted…Do you think this event made the OP polite?
Yes? Obviously? Someone else got mildly publicly embarrassed for not being polite to a stranger
As someone who does the little things like hold the door for others, I think to myself "okay, asshole" every time doesn't acknowledge it. It makes me just a little more hesitant to do it in the future
When someone does get called out for it, it's incredibly vindicating. Even seeing it second hand is validating
There's such a thing as a good Karen. Society does need Karens, but we need them to call out people making the world a worse place in little ways like this
So you only do good things if people thank you?
No? I just expect acknowledgement. Just a little head nod or basically any sound
I'm not a doorman. I'm holding the door so you feel like you're in a slightly friendlier world, I didn't have to do this. I don't expect others to do it for me, but my day gets a little better when they do.
These little interactions are how a society feels friendly. It's the fabric of civilization
When you walk through like you're entitled to have doors held for you, then fuck you. You're snubbing someone trying to make the world a slightly friendlier place
this isn't like somebody left a cart blocking the sidewalk in front of the store lol
Yeah, and a simple arm movement could put it back
It's proportional
