I hate when people refer to gen z types as "zoomers". That doesn't sound like you're talking about a bunch of actual functioning human beings, it sounds like you're referring to a few toddlers running around your house making airplane noises.

Along those lines: I've seen a strange increase in people who turn on their turn signals and just forget that they're on? I'll leave room for them for 5 minutes then hit a stop light and realize they apparently just don't hear their car clicking.

People not washing their hands in public washrooms doubly bothers me because jesus christ you should at least feel shamed into doing it when I can see you. We see each other regularly. How do you live with yourself? I just realized I haven't been to a public washroom in more than two months. Upsides of pandemic life.

I think it changed more recently than that, and maybe make matters too. My current car, a 2014 model Hyundai, can't click loud enough to be heard over even moderately-low-volume music, and I've accidentally left the turn signal on a couple times because of that. My previous car, a 1997 Ford, clicked loud enough to be heard even when I was a teenager blasting loud-rear end punk rock with the windows down on the freeway.

If we're on driving peeves again, I just had a flash of white hot seering rage when I popped over to the grocery store to get ingredients for gazpacho. (Cuz it is hot as balls out there and that calls for cold soup). Waiting to turn left on the main street, there's a car wanting to turn right at the parking lot directly across. We get the green arrow, person in front of me sits there. I toot the horn just as the car in the parking lot starts turning right. Genius driver in front of me makes some gesture at me, I'm guessing annoyance. I get that they were probably letting the person turn, but a couple things! First of all, gently caress you! That green arrow only stays that way for a few seconds. Second, there's two lanes on the road we were turning onto! All of us could have, conceivably, turned at the same time with no problems if no one takes an extra lane. And it's a double left, so the left turners shouldn't be taking an extra lane anyway. Thirdly, also gently caress you! You wanna be nice and let someone turn? Great! Do it when there's no one behind you and you waste no one's time but your own, and not at a light that only stays green for a few seconds! The other guy could have easily made the right after we finished turning. Traffic on the main street isn't THAT heavy. So no, I am not sorry I honked my horn at you, person! I don't care how many rude gestures you make at me!

99% of people being "nice" in traffic is unsafe(because they're encouraging everyone to ignore right of way and also making it impossible for the cars around them to know wtf they're doing), pointless(because they're holding up multiple people to help one person who'd have gotten a gap eventually anyway, and if they're NOT holding up multiple people then the other car could have just turned in behind them anyway), or both. My least favorite is when there's a gap I've identified and am prepared to turn into before someone tries to be 'nice' by slowing down for me, instantly obliterating the gap behind them & wasting my time because I'm not about to turn in front of someone when a)I don't know what they're doing, and b)they likely now have cars whipping around them. Just loving go, you're causing more problems then you're solving.

Every time my phone rings, I just answer it. Doesn't matter if I recognise the number or not, because I'm not an evasive child, no spook has ever jumped through the phone at me, and if it's someone I don't want to speak to I am capable of steering the call to its conclusion. And I answer it as follows: "Hello [beat] Disgusting Coward speaking" And every single time the person on the other end goes "Ehhhh...who's that?" or "Ehhh...is that Disgusting Coward?" or "Uhhh...hello?" You phoned me, fool. I'm the one who should be caught unawares, not you. Fuckers. As for niceholes, there's a trend in this neck of the woods - East Scotland - of people giving up right of way at roundabouts. The whole Thing of a roundabout is "give way to cars from the right". That's it! One rule! It works really well! But noooo, gotta have some ancient fart in a Skoda stopping dead, being confused by the procedure of "look to see what's coming, and then drive" and then flash me on to the roundabout as a way of buying themselves thinking time. So then I can't go, cause if they go and then hit me I'm at fault, and then something will be waiting on me going so I'll wave on whoever has erroneously yielded their right of way, and then they're still panicking so they wave back, and you end up with 4 idiots in a circle, engaging in dipshit sign language to try to signify that you should just. loving. go. Last time this happened I cut the engine, switched off my lights and got out. Yelled "loving GOOOO" at the guy and he still wouldn't go. It's un loving real.

90% of phone calls that aren't my weekly Being A Good Son call to mom are 'we want specific information A or are reminding you of thing B' calls and would be better replaced by text messages/emails. Especially since I work an off shift so I'm likely either asleep or working when non-family members call me. Yes, I am aware my dental appointment is coming up. You're a big chain of dental offices, surely you could set up text reminders/confirmations? Disgusting Coward posted:Every time my phone rings, I just answer it.

İm like 99% sure I've posted about this before in this very thread, but people in cars being nice ("nice") to bicyclists is a terrifying experience. People will see you stop at a stop sign and immediately slow to a crawl to to let you through. Come on, don't make me think about whether you're going to try to run me over or not if i take your bait! A lot of cars really treat people on on bicycles like they believe we are trying to destroy American democracy

My town has a walking/biking trail that cuts through the whole thing and intersects several streets. They put up signs in the middle of the road at every one of these intersections between the two lanes that say, and read this closely: STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS IN CROSSWALK Now guess how many people see these signs while coming over a hill and screech to a stop even if there's nobody around or someone is standing at the side of the crosswalk waiting for the cars to pass. NOW guess how many idiot pedestrians assume this is what you're supposed to do and just cross without looking both ways while a car is coming at them.

I dealt with a lady in work who would always call and ask for a meeting to be arranged with maybe 7 other people and start naming them, assuming I'd be able to find the time for them at that point. Every time I had to stop her and just tell her to send me a list and I'll get the common times for her on a nice sheet. Now she phones somebody else instead and life is better for me

We see each other regularly. How do you live with yourself? Speaking of public restrooms, behavior, and hand washing: What the hell is up with old fat guys and the noises they make taking a piss? There I am, sitting on the toilet in a stall, taking a pleasant grumpy, and an old man comes panting into the bathroom. I mean they sound like they just sprinted a mile. Then they grunt, cough, groan, fart, and spit in the urinal. They make the worst noises. Noises humans just don't make. Then they wash their hands for like 2 minutes. Use 50 sheets of paper towels, then leave. I never see them, but I hear them when I'm at work dropping a deuce. If it's that hard to piss, you really should see a doctor. Also, if you have to wash your hands for two minutes, you have a severe aiming problem.

The idea that anyone in an air-conditioned government office is actually getting 8 hours of work done every day is such horseshit I get 5 hours of good work done on better days, and maybe 3 hours on less good days, and that hasn't changed since I went from 100% office to 100% WFH 3 months ago, yet all of a sudden my boss is impressed with my work ethic. Hey jackass, I'm still loving around for most of the day, you just can't see me doing it.

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to keep going once you’re actually in it?? Granted I haven’t driven in California but I can’t imagine they’d change the whole thing that makes roundabouts work. yeah. if you have the right of way, you need to go. being polite is cool, but other people around you are going to expect you to follow the rules of the road and if you don't, you risk causing an accident

It pisses me off how the Fifa games have no 'be taken over by a billionaire oligarch/middle Eastern Prince' option on their career modes, so I can hog wild with Wycombe Wanderers and sign outrageous players. One of the fifas a few years ago had a glitch which gave you infinite money, and it was great fun building up a squad of sulking mercenaries and decimating the opposition. Instead, career mode for lower league sides is an absolute slog, with a scouting mechanic that is completely unfit for purpose (your scouts will make helpful recommendations like 'sign raheem sterling', so the only way to realistically get it done is to look up all the players online and do it that way. To make matters worse, on this edition of fifa, the board set you financial objectives, so not only do I have a miniscule transfer budget, but they also want me to make a net £900k profit in my first transfer window, so I basically have to sell my best players else get sacked. I guess it's realistic, but it's really not fun at all. Wider point : all games, regardless of genre, should have cheat codes that let you do whatever the gently caress you want, and it's petty and cruel that they don't.

Restaurants where the sandwiches (burgers by far the biggest culprit) are so big that the buns can't hold them at all and they cease being finger food and become a sloppy mess. Either get bigger bread slices/buns or cut down on toppings. Ideally the second, because sometimes it's nice to eat sides or appetizers and not just a day's worth of food on one sandwich. Having not been to a restaurant in months, we ordered burgers delivered last night and it was like a blast from a forgotten age. I don't want a burger the size of my head you monsters. I got like a blue cheese buffalo sauce veggie burger and it tasted really good but it was too big to comfortably eat!! Like, can't even get all the toppings in my mouth at once big. WHY.
