Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

so what are they supposed to do, talk about it out loud? it's one thing to ask someone to stop talking loudly but people usually lower their voices/whisper when they're trying to be courteous to people around them. they were being respectful.

they were whispering over something trivial that she admitted was trivial. if the whispering itself bothered the woman and they wanted to be helpful, they could have just stopped talking about a guy on the same train like he couldn't potentially hear the shit they were saying about him. don't talk about things in public you wouldn't want someone overhearing, same with don't talk about shit on the internet you don't want to come back to you.

the woman wasn't in the right, but the anon who told her to mind her business wasn't helping the situation and was also talking kind of objectifyingly about someone that was in the vicinity. it's not like she was sharing state secrets or anything. hell, for all we know, maybe the lady heard what they were saying and was disgusted with it and that's why she asked them to stop.

it doesn't matter what they were talking about. it was none of the woman's business what they were whispering about, full stop. for all she knew it could have been some important private matter that they needed to discuss but didn't want everyone else overhearing.

the woman should've minded her own business, that's all there is to it.

first off, you missed what i said about her being able to hear it. just because they were whispering doesn't make the conversation sacred. if i was whispering with a friend about blow jobs and fucking someone or doing drugs and someone told me to stop talking about it, getting pissed about it is not the mature reaction. realizing 'oh, shit, someone overheard that and got upset, i guess i should shut up now' is.

who knows what anon was saying? maybe they were just 'ooh, he's cute', or maybe they were 'i want to pull his pants off and lick his balls'. no one should have to hear talk like that in a public area. if they'd wanted to have a private conversation, they shouldn't have been chatting about how hot or not this guy was on a train.

except saying "you need to stop whispering because it makes me nervous" implies that she couldn't hear what was being said so your point is null and void

so she's not allowed to calmly express her concerns and ask two people to stop doing something that was making her uneasy? i'm sorry, i didn't realize that actual interaction was against the law. i'm also willing to bet that that calm and rational backtalk by anon wasnt as calm and rational as they said and that they're amping up the overreaction because everyone on this site is hyperbolic.

yes i'm sure they were talking about licking his balls, too.

you are bending over backward to be the devil's advocate here, and it's kind of ridiculous.

examples, anon. i doubt that's what they were saying, but they could have been talking inappropriately. it's not like i haven't heard people saying completely inappropriate for public things on public transportation before.

If it's not illegal, not against the rules of the location, and not behavior that would be considered to be unacceptable by the vast majority of people (I.E. kicking the back of the seat, putting their feet or luggage in her space)? Then no, she doesn't have the right to ask them to stop doing anything. That's just a part of being in public - you're around other people doing things that you don't have any control over.

seriously. if you don't like hearing people whispering about whatever, then drive a car. or take a taxi.

Re: +1

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
right, because a handful of change for a bus is totally the same as paying insurance and gas for a car or whatever exorbitant fee it is for a cab. entitled rich person alert.

no, i'm just sick of having people who take public transit acting like they deserve all the luxuries of a private vehicle but fine.

Take a walk
Ride a bike
Carpool
Get a family or friend with more money than you to drive you
Use headphones/earmuffs
Move to another train car/seat on the bus

if it freaks you out to hear people fucking whispering, bring headphones. deal with your own shit, it is not the world's job to coddle you.

Re: +1

(Anonymous) 2014-03-02 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
yes

mouth noises and lip smacking drive me up a fucking tree, but I either remove myself from the situation or use earplugs or headphones.

this. if you know this is a problem you have, you should be the one taking steps to correct it, not forcing random strangers to comply with your weird drama. there is zero obligation for people to not talk or whisper in a PUBLIC SPACE just because it "freaks you out".

if they were talking in a library or a place where talking isn't allowed you can complain, but otherwise suck it the fuck up.
