Smart phones, smart watches, smart TVs, and now this? Give me a break, some things just don't have to be Internet connected.

If they are actually funny, don't punch down too much, and can turn it off when needed.

It's not good if that's your whole personality.

[–] Delphia 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I work with too many people who insist on giving me the smartarse answer to EVERY fucking question.

Every day I have to ask every station "Do you need any assistance today?" And "Do you have enough work to fill your shift?" And every day "YEah yOu cAn WaSh mY cAr! HehEheHe" and "yEaH iF I geT thrOugH thIs I'lL jUsT tAKe a nAp!"

And every month we have to do a drivers licence check and every damn month the same people "wHaT lIcEnCe!?!"

Fuck cunt, grow up. I hate doing this shit as much as you hate being asked, why are you making it take twice as long!?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

have you told them ?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Idk none of the donkeys I've worked with have been very smart

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

But what's the IQ on this buttocks, darling?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why shouldn't I? Bless those who encourage you to second-think things when things are presented as unquestionable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Well, since you ask, it likely depends on whether they're humorously encouraging you to look at something from a different angle, or if they've just discovered a handful of situations that get a chuckle from people who only encounter it occasionally, them proceed to subject everyone to the same 'second-think' ad nauseum.

They're preferable to dumbasses.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Better than stupid dicks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Smart arses? Are we in the 90s? Stop living in the past! AI arses are the bomb now.

Machine Learning Asses

[–] bhamlin 6 points 3 months ago

I like the asses on smart people, does that count?

[–] Death_Equity 4 points 3 months ago

I don't like that type of competition and we end up losing everybody else as the sarcasm and references get more obtuse and obscure until one of us loses and slingshots up to potty humor.

[–] QuadratureSurfer 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Best exchange I heard about this topic:

Person 1: "Stop being such a smart ass"
Person 2: "I will when you stop being such a dumb ass"

[–] the_toast_is_gone 4 points 3 months ago

I trust my body to tell me that something's wrong. If my butt is giving me warning signs, I darn well better listen.

[–] Anticorp 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Better than dumb-asses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yes I like myself.

[–] the_grass_trainer 3 points 3 months ago

It depends on if they're sarcastic smart asses, or know-it-all smart asses. I prefer the former.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They’re exhausting. Just say what you mean.

[–] DandomRude 5 points 3 months ago

I think you're confusing smart asses with wafflers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not typically, I’m usually talking fast trying to get an idea out of my head and communicated but they find the need to interrupt with low effort jokes.

Having lived in different areas of the US I do find it’s fairly regional. I can go back home and joke around and be a smartass, but if I tried it here people would find me extremely rude.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I Smart ass back

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The reason I left Reddit was because the top comments-- no matter how serious the topic-- were dumb jokes and snide remarks. So in that context, no.

But I have a friend who sort of reminds me of Cliff Clavin from "Cheers," and he can be fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Depends on how good they are at it. If pedestrian drech is all they have to offer I'll spin 'em dizzy and set 'em straight. If they've got art, game recognizes game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is that supposed to be a smart ass answer?
