Except for @PeterReader, I'd say only humans. Unless we have some unknown extraterrestrials aliens around.

 

 

Yes?

I would have thought at least a few chimpanzees.

Ahhh, but if they self-identify as humans....

MadEngineer: Rejected google maps edits.


Rejected Wikipedia edits where it's A but some Wikipedia 'editor' has decided it should be B because they think that's what it should be, and since they're an 'editor' they can override any correction you make.
I think one of my first wikipedia edits was of a microsoft product where i stated that it was only available for purchase in the united states. I'd even referenced it to the error page displayed if you tried to make a purchase that actually started this. the single sentence was promptly removed.

 

i don't think i've edited an article since.

So you had the time to check the 194 countries that aren't the USA, but then gave up on Wikipedia when someone reversed your edit?

 

Life wasn't meant to be easy.

Bonobos.  Like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism, just like most of the posters in this thread.

Kids. More specifically, kids that aren't nice (clearly a product of their environment). 

 

Son didn't make the top team in football. Didn't get informed - turned up to training with everyone else. 

 

Kid laughs, points out that his name wasn't on the team list and said something quite derogatory. Personally, I would have punched him right there and then. 

 

My son is the bigger man and advised he hadn't been informed of anything formally, so trained with the team, came home and dealt with it then. He wasn't the only one, but led by example. 

 

I immediately emailed the club and advised my displeasure. Spent over 40 minutes on the phone today venting and being apologised to. 

 

 

 

Why do some people raise their kids to be such ar$holes?

Likely the parents are ar$holes themselves.
