Lol, perfect timing.

We were at an amusement park yesterday (last hurrah before school starts). We were waiting in line for a rollercoaster. The line was in an enclosed space, and the guy in front of us smelled like he last showered in June. His hair was unkempt and plastered to his face. He was wearing a sweatshirt in 80+ degree weather and his white socks were more of a piss yellow color. That dude's aura of stink was of old sour sweat, Doritos, and fire balls. I pulled my kids back to stay 6' away and could still smell him. It was awful.

Mrs NNM and I were trapped behind a bohemian French dude on a tour of Notre Dame (the Parisian one, pre-fire). Those enclosed passageways, particularly the enclosed stone staircases up to and around the roofline, were horrific.  Your dude sounds like an air freshener compared to Frenchie.

So much this. We were hiking in Acadia last week, sometimes stopping to enjoy a pretty stretch of coast. This beautiful national park…and multiple dickheads had their speakers out playing their music. Yeah, I totally wanted to listen to Travis Scott instead of the surf and the birds and the GODDAMN FUCKING NATURE THAT IS THE REASON YOU GO TO THE WOODS.

This is mostly a Gen Z thing in my experience and a huge breach of etiquette in the hiking world.  I will absolutely tell them to not spoil someone else’s wilderness experience.

Dude. My wife likes my hair longer. It’s not “unkempt.”

People who go everywhere with their big headphones on. People being so disengaged from the world and the enshitification of the world probably has some connection. Similar to everyone glued to their phones (I'm a hypocrite).

I appreciate people wearing earphones so not to bother others, but I don't understand hiking with big noise cancelling headphones. Yes I know noise cancelling mainly reduces droning noises, and doesn't cancel out voices and such, but if I'm riding up behind you and yelling at you to move over and you're oblivious, then I have a big problem with that.

The only places I wear my big noise cancelling headphones are the gym (to drown out whatever music the front desk person picked out for the day or the grunts) and airplanes. 

Otherwise, my Airpods are fine for listening to music while on a walk with the dog or at the office.

I love wearing my Noise Cancelling headphones.  Most of the time, I turn off ANC but wear them to hear notifications on my work machine, but people don't bother you when they see your headphones on.  Then the lazy coworkers show up and start yelling their conversations and the ANC button gets turned back on.
