backchannel: avoiding unpleasant interactions

from this reddit thread

where are you guys parking that causes people to harass you?

There will always be stochastic confrontations, but there are also habitual fsckups who make life harder for themselves and for others. It’s common to see threads where the poster says “I found a great spot and stayed there every night for 6 weeks and suddenly got kicked out. Why oh why did this happen to me?”

If you look at their posting history they got fired for no reason, evicted for no reason, their gf/bf left them for no reason, their family disowned them for no reason, they got arrested for no reason…. everything is someone else’s fault. Absolutely no self-awareness or sense of agency.

as long as you use common sense and don’t act like a turd,

If the fsckups above had common sense and didn’t act like turds they wouldn’t be fsckups.
