Brb, bout to post this on nextdoor and watch all my neighbors fight.
Seriously though, this dude made a post on there today about how he's "been wearing his army gear the last few days and no one has thanked him for his service." I would walk into traffic if I was ever that embarrassing.

My area has near constant posts about a vehicle driving by someone's house, accompanied by blurry footage of absolutely nothing of note, and half the commenters are convinced that it's for a crime and the other half are like, "you know this is a public street with other residents, right?" God forbid a realtor ever takes photos for comps. It's the fucking mafia, out to steal all of Janice's lawn ornaments, obviously.
It's just an absolute black hole of suck, but I work for a nearby city, so it's a good way to find out if there are resident concerns that aren't batshit crazy, so I keep my account active. I can only tolerate about 5 minutes at a time, though.
Nextdoor is literally useless house wives removed about NIMBY shit. I despise it. It is actively DNS Blocked at home.
This is only marginally less sad than grown men wearing their letterman jackets.
How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.
A lot of other veterans would agree with you. Memorial day is for the ones that didnt make it home. This dumbass mightve been better off following their footsteps if this is his usual level of thoughtfulness.
Some did point that out - about 200 other comments fell all over themselves to thank him and blame "kids these days," though, so it was pretty much the worst. My ex-husband spent a couple decades in the military, and he was suuuper uncomfortable being thanked, so I know that attitude is by no means universal. It's just cringey as hell.
I really appreciate knowing there are people like you out there ready to do the right thing to save yourself and save our collective cringe.
Thank you for your service. Gob bless.
Oh my god, finally. I've been wearing my Internet Cringe Police shirt all week and you're the only one who has thanked me for protecting the American people with my life or my wifi or whatever.
If I ever see you walking into traffic I will just smile and pour one out for you
Anyway it seems plenty of people are confused about what the holidays are for. memorial Day is about remembering people who have died, particularly the people who died in line of combat in the military.
Veterans Day is the day we're supposed to thank a veteran.
Labor Day, I still don't know what that one's about, something about honoring everyone who has to work all the time? Labor?. So we get a day off. I guess.
Labor Day was supposed to be a celebration of the organized labor that got most of our worker's rights, but now it's just a celebration of day drinking and an excuse to offload the excess stock from Memorial Day and Independence Day.
Shoot, my mom told me Labor day was a second mother's day, to thank her for pushing my 9.5lb body out of her poor vagina.
Wearing your army gear or uniform in civilian life as a means to flex is a major no-no in the Uniform Code.
