A Twitter message I got pointed me in the direction of this site: http://www.nicecritic.com/ , billed as "The anonymous way to send a nice message."
So what is the point of this site? Well, you can use it to send people -- coworkers, fellow students, neighbors, whoever -- "helpful suggestions" on how they can stop being such lowlife motherfuckers in your eyes. Here's a sampling:
In the "Personal Hygiene" section:
"Washing your hands after using the restroom is a wonderful way to not spread germs."
"You might want to double check that no unwanted hairs are poking out of your shirt."
"A breath mint would be beneficial today."
"Please consider trimming some nose hair."
And from General Behavior:
"You may not realize that you chew and pop your gum quite loudly, which can be distracting."
And my favorite, from "Appearance":
"You have a noticeable post-bathroom stain."
This site just enrages me. It's a site for busybodies who are too damn pussy to actually say something to someone. Douchebags who haven't learned that other human beings aren't perfect, and hold on to these little resentments like prizes, enjoying being constantly pissed at how everyone has faults except them. If something is a real problem, fucking bring it up. Or shut the fuck up.
Besides, if you got a message from this, wouldn't you probably have a pretty damn good idea who sent it?
