some people on here make Hating All Social Rules such an obnoxiously large part of their personality that you could say "it is polite to avoid farting in a crowded elevator if you can help it" and they'd call you an oppressive puritan who hates the incontinent

#eliot posts #like sometimes social rules ARE pointless (or DO have a point but ultimately do more harm than good or are just unnecessarily inefficient)#but sometimes they're a useful way to consider the comfort of those around you #of course there are extenuating circumstances where following them is impossible or would put more burden on you than is fair or practical #in such cases it's good to make exceptions #and to automatically give rule breakers the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming they're being rude on purpose #anyway i once saw someone getting PISSED OFF bc a post said it's rude to watch videos without headphones on public transit #or this other time someone said public sex is always okay-#-and that it doesn't matter if ''public'' means a bathroom/back alley or if it neans the middle of the park in broad daylight #but it's not just about those two instances it's about an attitude i see on here in general #AND I AM SAYING THIS AS A QUEER AUTISTIC
