Chilling at a cabin on a small lake and there are so many goddamn boaters out getting way too close to the shore, the docks, and people in the water. In the last 20 minutes I've seen THREE tubers almost get run over by these petty bourgeois psychos who feel the need to zoom around as much of this tiny ass lake as they possibly can as fast as they can and put everyone else at risk.

We were out on the lake for like 20 minutes before deciding there are too many people out and someone's gonna get hurt. Cabin people are fuckin insane

    One of the main problems with "let people enjoy things" cliches is that many of the things being enjoyed deny enjoyment to other people, often many more people being denied than the thing enjoyer. Also, in this case, there's pollution and environmental destruction, as is often the case with enjoyed treats.

    One of the most notorious examples on Hexbear was when I talked about douchebags that lived nearby that blasted window rattling levels of high bass from their lifted trucks at 2-4am, and I was told I was the selfish one for not approving of the treat enjoyer enjoying the treat that is also being forcibly shoved onto literally hundreds of other nearby people, most of which were probably trying to sleep at that hour. :galaxy-brain:

      I want to throw everyone who uses external bass or modified cars or drifts/do donuts in residential neighborhoods into an oubliette. Pol Pot for car culture

        People that ride loud bikes need to be in there as well.

      I can't believe people here told you to be nice to self-obsessed classless morons who drive outsized trucks for their oversized egos.

        They did. It was under the "let people enjoy things" banner. I was even called a :grillman: because I didn't think it was cool to be an obnoxious loud asshole when people need to sleep for blocks around.

      Struggle sesh time:

      I do not like smokers. They ruin the fucking air. Vapes are alright but just do that shit away by yourselves. My asthma gets triggered by all of that and it’s annoying to be chilling at the beach or wherever outside and the fucking smoke makes it so I can’t breathe.

      I do not care that tobacco smokers are working class or not, I can’t breathe when they smoke.

        I've seen people with asthma or smoke allergies say the same, but especially on :reddit-logo: they'd get raged at, hard. "You must be fun at parties" "who hurt you?" "let people enjoy things" while dismissing the person suffering the smoke as some killjoy instead of a person not having a choice in not enjoying it.

        I am against the drug war and pro legalization, but the same loud obnoxious bunch I mentioned before wants and apparently needs sticky weed stench everywhere. When I used to have an apartment, it'd often blow through the shared air conditioning, drying my eyes and throat whenever that happened. Edibles, bongs, and the like were apparently too considerate compared to the authentic le pothead experience.

      there is a level of car noise that is acceptable, and around 10% of people aren't even within eyesight of the line
