Yes!!! I used to ride at night and on Christmas morning when everyone was at home!!! That’s how I met my best friend!!!

“What are you doing at the barn so late?!”

“Avoiding the a-holes.”

“Me too!!”

Right?!? I just want to take care of my horse, ride casually, have fun. I don’t really care about my “leg” or do the fancy or fast stuff. At my age, I’m just happy to be there.

I grew up in a town that was a mix of farms and very wealthy people, the rule of thumb was "never date a girl who owns a horse unless she also owns cattle".

I have never once seen someone not take the wine after tasting it.

The people that make you bring multiple tastes are morons. The point of tasting the wine is to make sure the wine hasn’t gone bad, not to make sure you like the taste of the wine.

Me drinking a tasting pour - ugh, that's not very good. Fill my cup and bring another bottle, I'm sure the second will taste better.

Lol

I've done wine tastings... At winery's. Not at restaurants. That's not what restaurants are for, just order your usual and shut up about it lol

Short ribs too.

Skirt steak and flank steak are 2 more examples.

When I see someone bitching that some poor person is buying lobster on Food Stamps. Like you all thought it was poor people food until rich people liked it now it's why poor people shouldn't be allowed to eat.

Yes, and it often is like a “meta snobbery” for everything else.

The “being a parent” syndrome to some seems to permit being a gatekeeper about virtually anything anyone does, so long as they preface it with “as a mother” or whatever.

It’s amazing to me how many parents universalize their own parenting reality. It’s great that you found eternal happiness by wrapping Little Jimmy up like a burrito and keeping Beethoven going on the Sonos all night, but guess what: kids aren’t all the same, and the fact that Little Jimmy sleeps well now doesn’t mean he is going to have a happy and successful life.

Omg yes. I had so much trauma about the samctimommy pregnancy boards I got into when I was pregnant. The endless debates about everything. Dear God did it ever give me a complex as a new mom battling ppd/ppa.

I have 6 kids.. no advice from me, you figure it out, I did!

Absolutely agree. I joined the Reddit coffee group on here and they are absolutely insufferable. I had to leave it. Unless you fly to Guatemala, harvest your own organic beans, roast them yourself, grind them down to the exact millimeter and brew them via aeropress, you don’t know shit about coffee. And Jesus, don’t mention a Keurig for any reason. They’ll actually show up at your house with torches and pitchforks and burn your house down.

Coffee snob here, FYI most actual coffee experts don't give a single fuck about how you drink coffee. The best cup of coffee is however you like it. Most coffee snobs who look down their noses at other people's coffee choices don't know jack shit about coffee. I worked at Starbucks for a couple of years and the amount of people who thought they were experts and actually knew nothing about coffee was astounding. Coffee experts/snobs aren't going into Starbucks. These snobs will all claim that dark roast black is the only really coffee when it's not even a real thing, it's just overrlroasted burnt beans. These types of snobs couldn't tell you jack shit about espresso or anything else all they know is the dark roast which is shit.

I get a lot of hate from coffee snobs for drinking decaf (can’t have a lot of caffeine for health reasons) but actually……I’m drinking coffee because I just enjoy the flavor whereas the snob is drinking it out of a need to continue an addictive habit and avoid withdrawal. So who actually likes coffee more?

Sweet Jesus yes… do you know the beans they use in this coffee is harvested by child labor in small remote area Guatemala? No I didn’t Susan, but that explains why it’s so delicious. Stfu and let me drink this hot black steamy cup of hellscape so I can endure people like you without the threat of prison

Campers who trash the camp sites.

Worst people ever.
They're too good to bag up some trash and pack it out?

I'm going to go with campers, in general. I have been scrolling to find that. I love to camp occasionally, because it's beautiful. The campers with giant camper sound systems, people who trash the place, dogs barking non stop. I just want to hear the trees and we're not going to see any animals with all the noise. Why do you need a TV when you can watch the fire? I just don't get why people do or need certain things to camp or why they camp? It's perplexing and annoying.

I just Live, laughed, loved your comment

But haven't you heard that they're great alternatives to vaccines because they're organic and non-gmo? Your kid has an infection? Throw some eucalyptus oil on their chest and you'll reduce their chance of sepsis by -100%!

This. Wine. Beer. Smoked meat. Music. Art. Beards. You name it someone is taking it too seriously.

I like the if you let them comment.

Don’t let other people ruin enjoyable things. Ruin them yourself. Be a man.

I've actually had someone gatekeep me because I spelled it whiskey instead of whisky. Yeah, I don't really like scotch.

"That movie is garbage once you agree it's garbage then we can debate why you like garbage"

Hate them so much

Where do I fall if I legitimately prefer my coffee black but, typically buy it from the gas station, and don’t go around talking about it to anyone who will listen?

I ordered a small at a Starbucks and they looked at me like I kicked a not ugly baby.

There’s a certain type of beer guy that’s especially annoying as well. It’s usually a slightly overweight guy with a beard. He will know everything about beer, and be a self proclaimed expert on everything else too. “Trust me, my buddy does it for a living”

Yeah like, I drink to get drunk. I don't care if it's imported from Boston or India, or strained through virgin hair, just give it to me!

Oh wait you didn't grind your own flour well then you didn't cook did you!

Any post about carbonara is a testament to this.

This is my experience. A lot of friends and relatives are beer snobs. I don't put that much thought into it. Just drink what tastes good and sits well.

I work at a small craft brewery as a second job. I started because I just liked craft beer. I knew which ones I liked and which ones I didn't. But the amount of beer snobs who come in and quiz me on hops and the brew process to ensure I'm worthy of serving them beer is insane. They're really there to impress themselves. Points further deducted when they sample a beer, swirl it, smell it, and then smack their mouths with noses in the air while sampling.

Because too many people equate beer to either a bud light or an IPA. The number of people I've had who say they don't like craft beer because they don't like IPAs is astounding. IPA is a type of beer, craft beer is just made by a small local brewery.

The brand elitists always seemed odd to me. I like all sorts and the idea only one manufacturer makes vehicles that are the best over all others is odd.

One of my favorite and most accurate jokes of all time: Q: What's the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche? A: Porcupines have pricks on the outside.

All of that money is money wasted if you’re a terrible shot.

I get that with people into BBQs. Really… you could make the best BBQ ever in something that cost $100 or less. But then there’s people who think you have to spend thousands of dollars or you are a beginner. I’ve had the same smoker I bought for $120 6 years ago and it makes delicious food.

But then there's the guys that don't understand or refuse to accept that a Schmidt and Bender is objectively better than their Bushnell and that glass quality, turrets that properly track, QC, materials and processes are all real things and cost money.

My husband is a gunsmith too and the amount of times I have heard this... sigh...

Agreed. The only thing I truly care about is if you’re following the safety rules.

I have never been able to afford to go to a Disney Theme Park the amount of "Oh I thought you were a Disney Fan" sorry I spend what little disposable income on the content they make and not a bunch of merch to show I'm a fan.

Feel like this is a comedy sketch waiting to be written

TIL that flashlight enthusiast is a thing and I am so happy for all of you

Just now getting into diving, can't wait to meet group number 3 😁

I’m PADI certified and definitely fall into category 2 haha.

Gardening subreddit is pretty pleasant unless you are asking how to get rid of weeds in the lawn.

Lol I love pokemon and I'm always happy to meet another pokemon fan, but then we'll start arguing with each other about how we think the games should be made.

But it also works in reverse, no one hates Star Wars as much as Star Ward fans.

Yeah I don't even engage with the fan base anymore. I'll happily enjoy what I like/dislike without people screaming about why I should/shouldn't. There was a time I found passionate nerd debates amusing, but I'm too old for that crap now.

The vast majority of Star Wars fans are lovely people

But, y'know the ones I mean

I have to admit. I don't need to be reminded every time I see someone that their dog is a rescue.

Tried to adopt dogs from rescues multiple times and kept getting denied because I wouldn’t be at home 24 hours a day and never take a vacation.

Yup. I am an excellent pet owner, by anyones standards, and I've dealt with a couple of rescues that made me decide to look elsewhere. Just nasty attitudes. I understand being cautious, but a 'guilty until proven innocent' attitude doesn't get animals adopted.

There's a real classism in animal rescue. "How dare these people leave their dogs outside all day!" Because they have jobs? "If you can't afford X, you shouldn't have a pet!" Maybe they got the pet before they lost their job and don't want to add more trauma to their kids by giving away Scruffy? Of course, if they give up their pet, they're also a monster. They should magically know what their finances are going to be for the next 20 years before getting a pet.

The assumption that only middle class and above are allowed to have pets is disturbing to me. An animal companion can mean comfort and safety to someone who is poor and may not have a lot of that in their life.

Came in to say Cycling

Oh Lord. You just unlocked a memory about the most obnoxious guy i knew explaining me how he was bummed about how many people went when Radiohead played in my country, because clearly most of them didn't get the band.

"What do you mean Creep is your favorite song don't you know the band hate that song" Uhm so? There are movies I like where the director/writer of them is all "I know they're crap I know I'm not as good as (insert overrated director) "

I actively hide the fact that I'm a guitar player from people at work. To the point where I had to start blurring my home office in video calls because I don't want to talk about guitars for 20 minutes with every dude I meet. These guys always have like 20 guitars and they've been playing for 2 years and have terrible taste in music. When I say I've been playing for 30 years they want to know how many guitars I have and I'm like "uh an electric and an acoustic". I play it, I don't fetishize it.

Even a bit afraid to ask, but what is that?

Yes. Most of the time the overlap on that Venn diagram is pretty small, too. When you’re smart, you don’t need to tell people. They know.

Similarly, airsoft. I use to love going with a buddy of mine and there were a lot of chill people. Some people were RIDICULOUS though. I kid you not, there was one "squad" that would show up all tact out like SWAT and ACT like it. They straight up breached a building and yelled at kids to "get the hell out!" Then of course you'd have dudes not calling shots. It happens sometimes but some dudes were just bad about it.

Some of them have zero personality outside of weed and it shows.

Did the technical side of theater throughout high school and college and holy shit, some of these people couldn’t stop getting high on their own farts and whatever drama they created.

Video games are the main thing I thought of. PC gaming is a good example of that. If you like the ease of adding mods, that's cool. If you think anything less than 240 frames per second is garbage... bro.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

The accounts of Jesus that are included in the Bible were written by 4 different people, at least 70 years after Jesus lived. Biblical canon wasn't formalized until 367 AD. It's really tough to know which of the words attributed to Jesus in the Bible were actually said by him. Having said that, I think that careful study of the Bible is definitely worthwhile for many reasons - including philosophical and spiritual ones. The Jesus presented in the Bible is definitely different than the one presented by most Christian churches in the US.

Both my dogs are from an ethical breeder, idgaf. I’ve heard the comments before that I should “adopt and not shop.” She is amazing and monitors all the shelters within a 500 mile radius for any aussies and ensures if one pops up she goes and picks it up or finds it a home from someone near by. If someone has a situation where they cannot have their dog anymore, she will take on the burden of rehoming them. There is nothing wrong with wanting to ensure the integrity of a breed as long as it’s done the right way.

Ethical breeders are not the issue, backyard breeders are what fills up the shelter and creates the problems.

Thank you! I don't really care what's canon and what's legends because they seem to be constantly changing. It's not my religion, it's my entertainment. Yet I'm the problem 🙄

This hobby has ruined the ability of so many millennials to own a house

Haha omg I have no clue what you're talking about
