My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

My OPT is that you should be able to buy and own your software instead of perpetually renting it.

Shouting at young people who blast bad auto tuned rap music in front of my house :D Or"answering" with very very loud good rap music or black metal :D

I don't use any social media except LinkedIn, and I have that set to all private. Just use it when I am looking for a job. I do stare at my phone all day though, but instead I am reading about board games, world news, and technology from other places.

Curated Tumblr content is always so much better than Twitter's. We need a Tumblr posts community in here.

I somewhat agree with your old person trait. But not face to face. At least a text saying not interested/I don't want to hang out anymore and then ghosting. Nobody owes you a face to face conversation. Especially if they're not interested.

My old person trait is that if you're going to do a ticket, don't code the bare minimum saying that you'll "get back to it later". You never have time later, and now there's shitty code in our app that needs to be fixed or worked around.

Driving slow, leaving early and arriving early. I usually drive a bit below the speed limit, and always follow speed limit signs. It keeps people safe, even if their own impatience makes them tailgate eachother 10 cars in a row behind me. Some people like to be in a hurry when they drive and don't know how to relax and drive calmly, I've never been sure why.

I'm with you minus the driving below the speed limit thing.

Why would you do that?

I don't use my phone to pay at the POS and I refuse to do so. I will always carry around my card and use that.

Breaking wind when I cough

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

I'm so guilty of ghosting, but I feel like it really is difficult to stay in touch with people, the more time passes. However, I do eventually answer after 2 months to 2 years from when the last message was sent, though

I don't like social media.

Mine is that hook up culture is a lazy alternative to finding someone to build a meaningful relationship with

[-] WaterBottleOnAShelf@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 years ago

I guess so, but it's also a short cut to finding that person and to understanding what you want in that person by finding out what you don't like first.

I've never tried it but I've heard that if you swear at the cosomer service robots enough they'll automatically send you to a person. Again, never tried it so unsure. I normally just try to avoid things that require me to call CS.

My old person trait is refusing to buy things on internet and wanting to buy them in person. The funny thing is: My mom (63) have no problem on purchasing things online; while I (31) am afraid to do that!

Everybody should be in bed by 11pm, midnight on the weekends. Nothing good happens after that. Get your beauty sleep.
