🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

Next: "Fining" your customers £100 ($156, €124) for leaving a bad review on Trip Advisor.
That's a great way to get your business some positive exposure.

While in Snapchat text-chat, you type in “$” then the dollar amount you want to send. Snapchat recognizes you’re trying to pay, changes the send button to a green Snapcash button, and tapping it deposits money into a friend’s account.
Yeah, I don't see any problem with that at all.In other news, a 26-year-old woman is marrying 80-year-old long-time convict Charles Manson. Bad idea or not?

Similar thing happened in NY. I thought we'd talked about it somewhere here, but discosearch failed me, so:

Sharon Tate was 26. Just sayin'.

Hmm....I just filtered on your posts here and a quick flip through them (only 206!) wasn't enough to find it.

Maybe it was the evil ideas thread.

AHA! It was in the "The opposite of infinite scrolling thread," of course:

Found it by discosearching for yelp, which found this:

...which ultimately led to your original post linked above.

Area play. Close enough.

I checked in on them a little while back and they had thousands of deleted reviews from everyone piling on them about their review policy. People never seem to learn...

I know I've seen that, or something similar, before. Yep, that's definitely the one.

Of course. Why would you even bother looking in an appropriate topic?

Topics are a barrier to random discussions.

“I’m a white man. I’m a white middle-class man. I’m a white middle-class heterosexual man. I’m on the right side of the equation,” said Newman, a professor of Sociology, in a story first noticed by The Pundit Press. “This is my fault. I didn’t do anything directly, but this is my fault. My silence makes this my fault.”
There are some actual worrying complaints, but this one is just funny:
A grill worker also asked [the members of the Latino fraternity], unprompted, if they wanted jalapenos on their food.

Says he did it in response to being asked whether he was drunk. In California I think that's lumped in with asking your religion or whether you plan to have kids, but he still should have just reminded them they're not supposed to ask.
It is, however, an appropriate non-verbal response to "what do you consider your greatest weakness?"

Who doesn't want jalapenos?
Disclaimer: I'm white but I don't think that's my fault.
Also, to be fair the jalapenos thing seems like the most minor of their complaints about the cafe, the other complaints are prima facie valid, the jalapenos question might fit the pattern if that's not a standard question asked of all customers.

I was present for one of these at my last job. I was heating up my chicken curry when a woman came in and started oohing and aahing about the wonderful aroma, and asked the four Indian guys already having their lunch which one it belonged to. After they all shrugged, she saw me, the big dopey Irish guy in the corner, raising my hand.

Something deemed as aggressive by the "victim" , while objectively including no aggression.
Similarly, a "Racist incident" is any incident considered as racist by the perpetrator, victim or any other person

microaggression
The term is meant to indicate all those tiny little things that stab at you without being a big deal independantly. Like, for someone who is infertile, every time they see kids playing or pictures of kids or moms breastfeeding, it hurts a little. Like everything else, it's been horribly abused by SJWs, but the concept seems legit. Note that I'm not saying nobody should ever be seen with kids so they don't hurt people who are infertile; obviously, there's not much you can do about that one, life just sucks sometimes.

@Intercourse said:

A lot of time spent thinking of ways to maintain the grievance industry gravy train, of course.
@Intercourse said:

Small stuff--maybe a sneer, or sniffing when someone of a different race walks by, as if they have an unpleasant smell, or not holding a door open. Some of those might be miniaggression, not microaggression.
I saw one person--as far as I can tell, seriously, if you can take anything such a person says seriously--use the term nanoaggression.
People who talk like that don't want racial harmony, they want to keep making money inflaming tension.

No, an infertile person seeing kids playing isn't something you can legitimately say is an aggression, unless it's the offendee aggressing common sense.
I'm going to have my kids play in front of you in an offensive manner! No, I don't mean they're going to be rude, just that they're going to be there!

Yeah, it would be more like the parent telling a story about his kids, or maybe just mentioning them.

Next on the idiotic bovine excrement - sorta literally: Ban cow bells. Just because.
They concluded that cow bells can create noise levels of up to 113
decibels, the same as a chainsaw or a pneumatic drill and well over the
legal limit of 85 decibels.
