Not musicians, the worse the better for me, Iove a panpipe or a one man band. Just anyone juggling or creating slip hazards with litres of fucking bubble mixture. Mimes can fuck right off as well, as can cocks on unicycles. Fire eaters are boring, fire juggling is boring and annoying
Nope. Definitely just you.
Judging from the updoot : down frown ratio, it’s pretty split.
Your human experience is not so unique that you are literally the only human being bothered by these particular types of street performers.
I think this comment is less about answering your question and is more about how asinine this very common framing of “Does anyone else …” is. Statistically speaking: “Yes”. It almost doesn’t matter what comes after “Does anyone else”. The difference between “Do any of you in this chat room also like blue?” and “Does anyone else like blue?” is huge.
Posing this sort of question online without great specificity or audience restriction is almost always going to result in the response “Yes”.
There are so many ways to phrase this question and start this conversation, it’s wild that the equivalent of “Am I literally the only currently living human being with this experience” is the current “go-to” in the English speaking world :p
Apart from the all the answers saying no in this post?
It’s not “apart” at all. One person saying “yes” in a sea of "no"s still answers the question “Does anyone else”.
Anyone who has answered “No” is either wrong or is not answering the question “Does anyone else find street performers particularly annoying?”. They’re answering a question they imagine they were asked which is “Do YOU dear %USERNAME%, in particular, also find street performers particularly annoying?”
If 10,000 people respond to a super broad “Does anyone else” question and 9,999 of them are “no” and 1 is “yes” then you have 9,999 people who have provided an incorrect answer. More likely they’re just answering the question they wished they were asked though.
Pretty sure that’s what goforliftoff@lemm.ee is on about and why I felt your response to their comment warranted my unsolicited explanation.
It’s just a closed question dude about a random thought, no biggee. I’m not doing a thesis on it.
I got some interesting responses, yours wasn’t one of them.
