Is reading seen as bad and unfashionable nowadays?
>Waiting for my train and reading a book to pass the time
>Two girls sit near me

>I ignore them but it was really weird that they just decided to say that

You should've replied, "Ladies, you're looking GOOD today." and then walked away. This leaves them eager and wanting more. It's alright, though, you'll get them next time, slugger.

Damn you dumb idiot they were trying to flirt and you fucked it all up. These two sopping bitches wanted you to rough them up with some harsh words and intellectual retorts, take them home and blow the backs while quoting Schopenhauer, and you fussed up like a total fag. Way to represent us cool readers of books, gaybo!

Is loudly discussing strangers like an american thing? I live in Russia surrounded by clinical alcoholics, and I've seen it happen maybe a few times in my life. I've never seen sober people just randomly intrude upon some stranger.

One time, I was smoking a cigarette outside my old apartment when a couple walked by. The girl loudly exclaimed "at least you're not a smoker" to the guy

I never understood why other people would act so passive aggressively callous to a stranger. It's not like I could've even replied to two random people walking past me.

That’s an extremely common way to use cringe and has been across social media since like 2015.

>> No.19388804

>>19388714
Normal people are aware of the concept of cringing at things, but the idea of the based/cringe dichotomy is one pretty exclusive to 4chan-esque edgy internet locales. Cringe used as an adjective (without changing it to cringy or cringeworthy) is pretty exclusive to this context.

Are you telling me that the story in OP might not be fake? I have never seen this happen in my entire life except when chavs yelled at me because I wore my hair long in high school.
In one of the episodes there were two of them zooming by on a scooter and right after they yelled at me they got hit by a car. I laughed so much, hope they lost their legs.
