    Had a guy at my bus stop do this every morning. Full volume with some cartoon stuff. I wonder if they even think at all about other people ever. Are we just npcs in their world?

    My coworker is literally doing it right now… Somehow he has a seemingly endless supply of random videos with the annoying chipmunk voice changer old people find hilarious for some reason.

    About 58 bus rides ago my dad’s dog came across a guy on the bus listening to dog whistle sounds without headphones, no one on the bus could hear but the dog. Needless to say that dog stood on it’s back legs looked him straight in the eyes and said “you’ll never not be an asshole but at least you’ll feel my rage” and waved his magic stick he found at the park. That assholes ears turned into dog ears and he heard the agony of the dog whistle he was playing. He then turned it off apologized to the dog and brought him home with him. He’s my dad now but anything could happen 58 bus rides from now.

    I know this guy who seemed to be unfamiliar with social norms. Basic shit like saying please and thank you. Then I met his mom, who was equally as ignorant as he was.

    We went to her fast food, and I watched them both just stare at the cashier, grab their food, and just walk off. There were a few other examples of clearly missed social agreements that we all take for granted.

    I’m 90% sure they weren’t being cruel psychopaths to lowly cashiers.

    But I’m also not sure where the line is for being neurodivergent versus just being an asshole.
