When people don't even wait for the elevator doors to open fully to try and pile in it while my rear end still needs to get off the drat thing. Some old gently caress in Florida almost shoulder checks me, backs up, and waves me on with a "your majesty" look on his face.

gently caress off Jeff, you're in the lobby, someone is going to be getting off once the god damned thing gets there I'm about to whup your rear end.

People do this on trams/trains too. You have to be assertive and never hesitate when exiting, otherwise you'll get stampeded. I don't care if you have to stiff-arm a 90 year old woman, the rule is people exit first, then you board. If you end up with a busted hip trying to break the rule it's your own drat fault.

On the train I just plow my way through people if I'm exiting. I haven't injured anyone yet but it feels great doing it. If I see kids or elderly I refrain but everyone else is fair game.

the bath noises are as loud decibel-wise as someone screaming outside of our door, but constantly, so I'm pretty sure I'm justified in being annoyed by that when it's at 3am and they're doing bathtub laundry

no I can't drive yet because I'm poor and didn't have the desire to kill myself in a car when I was 15. not only was I too busy with health issues but I knew I wasn't ready then, and I still don't feel ready now, but I have to do this. I'm getting my license so I can have it, because my husband can't get a license, but I probably will never own a car.

cars are dangerous as gently caress and people don't take it seriously enough and I'm tired of doing everything right and still almost getting hit as a pedestrian cos yall can't slow down or stop using your loving phones

People who wait until they've wedged themselves into the turnstile to START looking for their Metrocard. What is wrong with these assholes? Generally speaking, I take my Metrocard out before I even go into the subway station, but if I don't and I suddenly realize that I haven't done so, I move over to the side to look for it. I don't know why there is such a huge segment of the population that doesn't grasp the concept of not blocking people's way.

Speaking of commuters, some guy called me a bitch because I had the nerve to say excuse me and walk past him on an escalator without even touching him (with myself OR my bag). How dare I. :rolleyes:

Elderly should know better and kids need to be taught a lesson. You do not get on the loving train while people are still exiting. Show them no mercy.

My wife's previous workplace actually gave everyone the day off on their birthday, it was really nice and it also saved the office from having to do any stupid social committee birthday bullshit where your manager gets a cake or passes a card around or any of that poo poo no one cares about. I think it was a good policy.

A zipper merge done correctly is so smooth and seamless, it's a thing of beauty to watch unfold in front of you. California drivers are so awful most of the time, but this is one thing they do well and I'm a little embarrassed how much I like seeing a good zipper merge.

I live in California and spend half my life in traffic, please do not take this away from me.

Edit: friend requests from randos. I'm a woman in a mostly-male sport, so I get my fair share of unsolicited friend requests from people I don't know. I don't mind it that much because our sport is fairly small and we'll eventually meet at some point, but lately it's literally been actual strangers who are not in the sport.

Yesterday I posted a comment on a friend's status, and his friend liked my comment and immediately friend-requested me. This morning, different friend, different status, some other random person made a comment that was funny. I liked the comment, he immediately friend-requested me. I don't know you! I just thought you made a funny joke! I don't want to see your kid's pictures or your great-aunt's recipe for rhubarb casserole.

If that were actually street legal (my guess is lolol no) I would get it in a heart beat and ram idiots on the road.

You'll just end up doing more damage to your own vehicle with one of those lovely ones, they'll bend back onto the bodywork if you so much as look at them funny and the more rigid ones will probably damage the mounting points.

One of the other drivers wrote off a delivery van at an old job by having a minor fender bender in a bullbar equipped van - I think the Audi he hit was fairly easily repairable but the Transit was toast.

This happens constantly in the elevator at my office - you need to swipe a card to get to your floor and an unbelievable number of people won't even start looking for it until they're actually in the elevator. Of course they end up missing their floor most of the time so I guess the joke is on them.

People who are an "expert" on something you're doing because "My father was an [OCCUPATION] for thirty years. I think I know what I'm talking about :smug:" They always say it as smugly as possible, too, to give you the idea that you won't give them the runaround on what you're doing. THEY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND YOU'RE APPARENTLY DOING IT WRONG.

Dude, A.) who the gently caress are you? B.) why are you talking to me when I didn't even instigate a conversation? C.) what the gently caress do you care?

I tell most of them "My father was an aircraft mechanic for 40 years and a cook in the Air Guard for 20 years, but you don't see me cooking a pot roast on an A-10 engine in front of you, now, do you?" Usually shuts them up.

People around here who don't wear a helmet when they're on motorcycles. Iowa doesn't have any helmet laws; anytime it pops up on a ballot it's voted down. There's always a story in my town of someone who has died in a motorcycle accident who wasn't wearing their helmet. I realize they're probably irritating to carry around and wear but it's better than having your brains across the road.

You should've pushed him out with you and held him in a bear hug outside the elevator long enough that it departs. And then some. But no grinding!
