A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If someone gets uppity in a bathroom when you are practicing good hygiene, ask them why they don't. And don't let up.
might wanna rethink using the word 'uppity' it has deep-rooted slavery connotations. just fyi.
try ornery/agitated instead
Haven't seen a minority get uppity about bathroom behaviour in the bathroom.

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/uppity:
Huh. TIL.
As someone with a job involving regular public speaking before some potentially-sensitive audiences, I’m always afraid that some word I use will turn out to have a hurtful impact on people despite being completely innocuous to my ear. Thanks for pointing out another one to add to my “don’t say this word anymore” list! Potentially saved me some awkward conversations.
