Or worse, the people who insist on launching into a full description of the route when you know you're just going to use GPS and they won't stop talking.
Nonpolitical Twitter
For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.
Rules
- Again, no politics.
- No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
- No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
- The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
- Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
- No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
- Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.
We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.
Then why'd you ask?
I didn't. I asked the guy where we are eating and instead of just telling me the name, went off on complicated directions. He was just eager to show off.
I've asked people if there's anywhere good to eat around there, and they name a few places. I'll say "oh that sounds good, we'll go there. Thanks!" And then they start giving me directions. Usually telling them I'm going to GPS it stops them, but occasionally someone will just keep on going. Last time that happened I just walked away. If you're going to ignore me, I'm going to ignore you.
How long before Google screws that up too?
Or maybe their phone died or it got lost or stolen, or who the fuck cares?
"I don't know, sorry" is not only quicker to say, but significantly less obnoxious...
That wouldn’t be fun to post online though.
Neither is this.. ¯\(ツ)/¯
