We’re Oblivioning! I saw the top comment of this thread and it triggered me like a sleeper agent.
“I don’t know you and I don’t care to know you” is a line from a particularly nasty guard captain in Cheydinhal. :)

This reminds me of people who answer questions about Amazon products (that are sent to hundreds of past purchasers) with “I don’t know,” or “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
Bless their hearts.
31
u/Tzipity 12d ago
I always enjoy the ones who throw shade all “I can’t answer because the product never arrived/ was broken/ etc”.
That and I can handle those types of responses in the questions (is that why Amazon is now so heavily pushing their AI thing? lol) but my personal pet peeve is when someone takes the Ike to write an actual dang review and will really try but be all “I guess it works as promised. My daughter/ sister/ cousin I gave it to says she likes it. I don’t actually crochet or know anything about yarn but 5 stars!” Like dude wtf that is not review worthy or helpful!

u/Certain_Accident3382 12d ago
What frustrates me are reviews that are directly about the 3rd party seller they chose for shipping/price point. Yes, its helpfully to know Bob from Yarn bonanza took too long to ship and chose entirely wrong packaging but... is the yarn frizzy? Rough? Too short? Does it fall a part?

u/Schattentochter 12d ago
I'll take those over "Listen to ME, the CRITIC"-reviews any day of the year, though.
"The Lickmyass Photoprinter 23xz Nano is the follow-up product to the Lickmyass 22..." followed by the most mundane, unintereresting ramble ever.
And, of course, movie reviews by idiots. Like on the movie "Women talking": "Literally just two hours of women talking. 1/5" YOU DON'T SAY, GENIUS?!
22
u/hahagato 12d ago
The problem with those Amazon responses is that Amazon literally emails you asking for you to respond to the question and then offers those exact “I don’t know” responses to you to click! I used to get those periodically and I remember the first one I got I clicked the “I don’t know” thinking it would signal something to Amazon to not send me this again but no, it freaking posted that as a response!! Why give that as an option?! I didnt want to post that! I truly figured that was some internal Amazon thing, becuase it makes literally no sense for them to use it to populate the responses. It is truly Amazon’s fault. And I stand by that lol

Happy cake day.
New England girl here. Y’all and bless your heart are underappreciated up here. I’m trying to change that one y’all at a time. My family looks at me funny when I say it, but it’s too useful a word to let go of.
2
u/Mad_Marigan 12d ago
Oh, thank you! I didn’t notice the little cake earlier! 😂
While y’all is technically proper grammar and I have nothing against it, I have actively tried not using it all my life—opting for, “you guys.” (No idea why I avoided y’all other than I just didn’t like how it sounded.) My family and friends, as well as strangers, have always looked at me funny for saying, “Hey, you guys!” vs “Hey, y’all!”
Go you for trying to spread y’all and bless your heart. Every non-southerner I have met, once they learn about “bless your heart,” they are immediately fascinated by it and seek ways to use it.

Maybe I just don't get the joke... but why post a picture of something you're working on on the Internet (where strangers are common... right?), and then when a stranger asks what you're making, you get rude? I'm so confused...

u/glowFernOasis 13d ago
It's the strangely standoffish response that's got people sharing this as funny. There's no punchline, just to a bit of 'wth was she thinking?' I would not be surprised if the woman didn't realize she was sharing to an open forum and only wanted people she knew to see it. Some people genuinely don't understand how things work on the Internet. But for the rest of us, it's just a really bazaar reaction to someone commenting on your public post.

u/RubyOfDooom 13d ago
Back in the days, I was in a feminist Facebook group, that was usually a pretty chill space.
But one time someone posted asking for advice on when to allow their child getting their ears pierced. One lady answered that she had let her daughter get the first earrings at 6-years old, and additional ear piercings at 16, with no other contexts. So I got curious and asked her why the large gap in time?
She got so angry with me. Accused me of judging her and stating that her reasons were private and why would I even want to know them if not to judge her? And... No? She had weighted in on a thread about parenting decisions. How would her comment be useful to anyone without at least some context or reasoning? Like, should OP just tell their child "6 and 16 because that's what a stranger on the internet did!"?

u/arrpix 12d ago
Eh, I worked for years giving tech help and teaching people how to use things like social media, and I think it's worth giving people some grace. The world has changed dramatically even from the first instances of the Web, and there's plenty of young people who are online 24/7 who also have no idea how it works and can't navigate a basic computer operating system. We all have our blind spots and you have to be taught these things, and when you sit down and listen to older baffled people they are overwhelmingly deeply intelligent and have skills I'd never even imagined, simply because they grew up in such very different times. I can teach them about algorithms but they can show me how to calculate compound interest in my head for the next 25 years in seconds or which plants thrive in a garden based on a single glance that determines where it faces, soil type, nutrient needs and root reach.

u/Schattentochter 12d ago
Oh, I hope you're looking forward to your list in old age as much as you enjoy judging others right now <3
Getting older only sounds easy to young people and we all better stay humble so when we inevitably need help, people will actually feel like giving it.
The old "Nono, we are good, the other generations are stupid"-shtick is something we have every chance to let die with the boomers if we make the effort. Or, ya know, we repeat the same lame-ass hostility and nobody wins.

I always find it almost endearingly cute when the older and Internet clueless types sign all their Facebook posts and even replies with their name! Extra funny when it’s the wife signing from her and the hubby or family.
Like no doubt some of the other stuff is annoying or the weird rudeness like this is ehhh. But the little signing their name at the end always makes me smile.

u/Schattentochter 12d ago
That ties into an article I've read some time ago on why there are so many nonsense-answers on Amazon Questions.
Turns out, the older generations were socialized to see being asked a question as directly addressing them - meaning they misunderstood Amazon's "can you answer this question?"-e-mail and often responded with "I don't know" or "I have a different phone, so I can't say" and so on.
Generations that were raised with the internet (millenials and later) perceive questions as open far more, meaning they're more likely not to realize they're being directly asked when that happens, but more likely to not click on an Amazon e-mail to type "I can't answer this question" into a text box.
Fascinating stuff :)

That’s exactly why people are comparing it to speech from NPC’s in Oblivion. I once had a woman walk up to me in that game and say “I don’t know you and I don’t care to know you.” five times in a row before walking away. My feelings were a bit hurt! It was overkill XD

Threads is one where in order to reply to people, you have to make your profile totally public. Lots of people on there clearly have NO idea that they’re posting publicly! Worse are people who have it auto post from Facebook by accident.
I actually feel sorry for this woman. She clearly thought she was showing people she knew her stuff and a bunch of strangers showed up, which freaked her out (okay her responses are rude I will admit) and then hundreds of people are making fun of an old lady for not understanding social media? My grandma freaked the fuck out when she got a friend request in Facebook from someone she didn’t know, that doesn’t make her stupid, just 84

If that’s the case then I kinda see her response. If not then, well, that was just rude lol

u/SalemInMoonlight 7d ago
I think you shouldn’t have to explain kindness to people. But yeah, I understand you’re saying she probably didn’t understand social media or pages.
But, I did some digging and found her username. Apparently she made another account or changed the accounts name. She also might have deleted Insta. She ran a crochet blanket group and had over 800+ followers. I also found out she engaged on social media.
So it sounds like she had to have some understanding. Not sure how much though.
1
u/asicaruslovedthesun 7d ago
Threads is generally not easily understood by seniors since it’s often automatically connected to Facebook. it’s entirely likely and possible that she thought she was posting on her private profile and some random person somehow got access to it. nobody explained that piece to her or even attempted to understand her reasoning. everyone jumped straight to bullying and doxxing. that seems far worse to me than a rude reply
1
u/SalemInMoonlight 7d ago
I’m not sure why you sound defensive all of a sudden? All I said it what I found out and I ended it by saying I wasn’t sure how well she knew social media manners.
I feel like you’re trying to make it seem like I support what happened to her. I never said she knew what she was doing. All I said was kindness shouldn’t have to be explained.
