Start keeping an eye out for it when you go out in public. It's one of those things you will never unsee after that.

I've never seen anyone above the age of ten hold a piece of silverware like that unless they were brought up needing to eat as fast as possible to get food before the siblings ate it all in a free for all.

I don't judge that.

Guys who pee standing in a public toilet without lifting the seat. It's one of those acts of pure selfishness, right up there with throwing garbage out of a moving car.
Like yeah, I needed to go pretty badly, but I guess I get to wipe some stranger's piss off the toilet seat first.

In preschool type daycare at SUNY stony brook, I had to apologize to a janitor because I got in trouble for convincing a littler kid that cool, smart, big kids put the seat down, then the lid down to protect the clean water and peed on top of the lid and the kid peed on the lid & then squealed that I tricked him but I didn't pee on top of the lid, that idiot did, so gently caress you grown-ups.

You say that but I have definitely seen tire marks showing people have taken the left in pretty much identical situations.

Pretty sure unfortunately didn't end well for them obviously, but doing things for "what ever loving reason" is just a thing drivers occasionally do.

I'm all for drivers over signaling their intentions because people sometimes just do weird poo poo that makes no sense. We are not to be trusted behind the wheels of a car.

People who hold their forks like this:



I don't hold stuff like that, but I definitely have to kinda caveman utensils in my left hand because I was born without a tendon, muscle and bone in the general area of the pad of my hand/thumb. My left thumb isn't really fully opposable, and the first knuckle can't even bend. I generally only use a fork with my right hand for everything if I can get away with it, because of a lifetime of people talking poo poo about it to my face because they don't like how I hold stuff.

the left turn I use to leave my neighborhood (and there's only one way out, cops had it redesigned like that because this is THE CRIME NEIGHBORHOOD of the entire city) has a slight chicane in it for cars going straight. Without fail at least 1 person coming from the other direction signals for a turn and then barrels straight through with their blinker on going 40, every time. I don't understand it, the road in the intersection is like
code:
 |
/
|
There's literally nothing that could possess anyone that isn't a complete loving MORON to put on their left turn signal to drive straight. It is not a confusing intersection.

edit: it's a 2 lane road with right turn lanes on both sides of the intersection and absolutely no way to widen, so there is absolutely no way to just put an arrow on the light.

People who do the Pittsburgh Left.

Actually, it's less the first person doing it and more the 2 other cars behind glued to their bumpers also forcing their way into the intersection to make the turn before oncoming traffic t-bones them



e: to specify, nobody actually does the hand signals in the graphic they just loving floor it into the intersection, so your options are either "go straight as is my right, and hope this idiot doesn't turn into me" or "wait until one of the turning cars decides it's not worth the risk"

There's 1 intersection on my commute home I'd say this happens probably 3/4 of the time

they changed the lights near me so that left turners get arrows at the end of the green cycle instead of before

If you’re on I-595 you don’t want anyone to know your intentions or they’ll block you for spite. I really have to go full rear end in a top hat driving in Miami, but usually all the fucksticks with no lane discipline on Alligator Alley get me prepped.

taken the left where? into the concrete barrier? it is a single lane that only goes in one direction. you don't put your signals on to indicate your intention to continue following the ONLY loving WAY the road goes

I'll do this if the jackass in the oncoming lane is sitting there staring at their phone when the light turns green and the people behind them are too timid to honk, but otherwise what the gently caress?
