People who stand right in front of the bench (when there is a bench at all, but that's another post) at a bus stop. Sit or stand, I really don't care, but if you're not going to use the bench, don't actively prevent other people from using it either.

Inspector 34 posted:Why the hell do people feel the need to congregate right near doors? I get that once you go through you're officially leaving or parting ways or whatever, but come the gently caress on. Once the 1st or 2nd person has to squeeze by your little clique it's time to move out of the way or just go home. This was the entrance to my cube. I have to push past people to get to my desk. They'd shuffle a couple inches to the side to let me get to my chair then continued their conversation 2 feet behind me.

This is from like a page back but if I'm walking around with my face in my phone I'm most likely trying to navigate. I'm poo poo at navigating so constantly having an updating map out is reassuring if I'm trying to get somewhere new. Granted I'm not wandering straight onto roads and I'm not randomly browsing the internet but there's at least that as a reason.

Magic Hate Ball posted:This happens on the bus a lot - they stand there, with room to move out of your way as you awkwardly push past them, but they just kind of stare at you. And they don't even move, either. You like, have to literally push them out of the way with your body to get to the doors, and they look kind of vaguely annoyed, and it's like...are you pod people? docbeard posted:People who stand right in front of the bench (when there is a bench at all, but that's another post) at a bus stop. Sit or stand, I really don't care, but if you're not going to use the bench, don't actively prevent other people from using it either.  Another one I see quite often is with trains specifically, you're waiting on the platform and as the train pulls in the announcement comes over the PA saying "Please do not board the train on platform <whatever>." Cue 90% of the people waiting there standing up and crowding around the doors of the train you were specifically told not to get on. Most of the time they're just getting the train ready before opening the doors, but it doesn't benefit you at all to be waiting right by them when that happens. It's hilarious though when the train is just stopping there temporarily and all the people who jumped the gun have to go and sit back down because it wasn't even the right train.

cash crab posted:It's especially irritating when they're coming at you in groups or pairs. I don't have the balls to just stand there either, I always step aside like a weiner. The answer to walking on the sidewalk without being pushed off by triple-wide assholes is to: a) Wear earbuds or headphones if possible b) Look 10-30 degrees off the to the right as you walk. Don't - do not - try to look at the oncoming person in the face. This is like a super-hero pedestrian outfit. Everyone will get out of your way - if only because they think all your senses are check-out and a crash is going to happen if they don't move. Maybe one out of 20 times they'll be as checked-out as you and you'll collide, and then you look at them as blankly as possible.

Places that fill their glasses with 70% ice, and 30% actual fluid. I drink a lot of water when I eat due to dysphagia issues, and I know it's done to save time standing there refilling it, but come on.

I do that when I grab an iced coffee at starbucks, but surely it'd translate over to restaurants well enough. Or 'easy on the ice', something to request more drink than filler in your cup.

It always annoys me in pubs, because when I ask for a glass of water I don't think to say "no ice". If I wanted ice, I'd ask for ice. If I ask for a glass of water I expect to get exactly that. Why do they always assume I want ice?

I asked this to my girlfriend who is a bartender, and it's as I assumed: it's quicker to dump a bunch of ice into the cup and fill up the remainder than sit there and fill a full glass. Plus, most folks who order water (especially at a bar) usually wind up not drinking most of it anyway unless you're someone like me (and you, I guess).

It really ticks me off when you're sitting on the beach and someone either pops a tent up in front of you, or decides to put their stuff immediately next to you. There's plenty of room, just spread out and be considerate. It's not like I'm at Bondi on 26 Jan or something - there's *heaps* of space.

Thin Privilege posted:I asked for no ice in starbucks because I wanted more tea, but they just put the same amount of tea and filled the rest with water. At the coffee shop I worked, our iced tea was brewed super strong specifically so that when the ice was melting it would still taste good and not like watery poo poo, but it would be pretty gnarly to drink straight. When I worked fast food I always hated people who ordered their soda with no ice, just because 99% of them were insufferable douchelords who only ordered it like that because they thought we were filling the cup with ice to rip them off. Like we were trying to scam them out of half a cent worth of soda, but they knew the ONE WEIRD TRICK THAT RONALD MCDONALD HATES. Like, I don't care if you don't want ice in your soda just don't be loving weird about it.

well why not posted:It really ticks me off when you're sitting on the beach and someone either pops a tent up in front of you, or decides to put their stuff immediately next to you. There's plenty of room, just spread out and be considerate. It's not like I'm at Bondi on 26 Jan or something - there's *heaps* of space. I've grown to feel the same way about bus/tram stops. There's no reason to stand like shoulder to shoulder with me, the tram is really long and there's plenty of empty sidewalk. When I first moved here I thought it was kind of strange that most people spread out so far but I've gotten accustomed to that buffer space. e: and yeah, the only people I've heard of ordering no ice do it not because they dislike ice, they just want that extra sip or two of soda to get their money's worth. They are right that you get more soda, but I've never found it worth the hassle of turning my regular order into a custom one. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 09:42 on Feb 27, 2016 |

I order without ice because I've never liked watered down soda. Peeve: adults who act like toddlers when bad poo poo happens. When the game doesn't load, when your computer shuts down, when you can't find your keys or something, anything, is broken. The reaction for a sane adult is not to slam things around, scream curse words loudly, or throw things. Especially loving cell phones and computers. Yes, I understand it's frustrating as poo poo when your phone suddenly dies. When your cable box goes off. When you can't find a loving piece of mail. But that doesn't mean you revert back to screaming tantrum status, slam doors, and throw expensive loving pieces of equipment because you're angry. A guy at work does this. My own mom does it. And trying to point out to either of them that if they just stopped screaming, if they let the page load, or they kept their passwords written down somewhere safe, is a good way to start another screaming fit. As for sitting right next to you, parking is the same. The entire lot has 100 open places, so Dumfuck McGee decides to pull in RIGHT next to you.

The thing that I don't get about ordering a drink with no ice is that after 10-15 minutes, especially in summer, your drink is going to be all lukewarm and gross. I'll take a sip less of soda (or... just get a refill) if it means I can drink it for longer than a few minutes without losing one of the main refreshing qualities of a beverage. I do realize this is just me and everyone has their own reasons for being on the ice/no ice side, but it's one of those things I just don't get. Also this is from forever ago, but one of my new coworkers makes me walk right beside her whenever we go to another part of the office, even when it's a narrow hallway. And she walks slow, so I wind up hearing an 'ahem' behind us and just trying to smile apologetically at the person we were blocking as they go past. I hate that.

I drink water from an empty reusable bottle of VOSS for work because the bottle is a good thick glass glass that's the perfect size for the cup holders in my car and the company vehicle I drive. Plus, something about drinking water from a glass bottle instead of a plastic one makes the water taste better (had a plastic bottle before that I could not get rid of that funky smell from mouth bacteria no matter how clean I got it that made the water gross to drink). Only cost me $2.50 at Walmart for the bottle, which I thought was a pretty good deal for a sturdy water bottle I could reuse. The water wasn't half-bad, either, but water's water to me, be it bottled, filtered, or tap. I also drink water room temp or a little cool, not cold because I chug that poo poo and like having my teeth and esophagus not slowly die from frostbite.

He'll bust into the bathroom if I don't make sure it's properly latched because if I'm in there by myself I may drown or somehow die while making GBS threads. But if he's in there staring at me like a doof I'm safe as houses.

If I ask for a glass of water I expect to get exactly that. Why do they always assume I want ice? I'm the opposite. When I go out I want a glass full of ice and whatever poured through the cracks. That way it melts over time into delicious cold water instead of lukewarm flat soda with a layer of water on top. It's like a lovely self refilling glass of water, especially when the waiters end up loving off for 30 minutes and I can't get a refill.
