People who cut the self checkout line by standing a foot to your right or left, and pretending like they are "forming a second line" deserve a special place in hell. I consider it impossible for anyone who does this to not be a complete piece of poo poo in every aspect of their life. Like, that is all I need to know to loving hate you.

let's complain about poo poo that dumb assholes do in day to day life.

There is an obvious exception for somebody asking for directions or being told to look for something.

Because if your monitor is off you would typically be able to see your reflection, so whatever thing you were insulting is now yourself.

People using Fahrenheit.

Also people who stop in their tracks immediately after getting off a bus/train/escalator. Especially since in the last case they're going to get rammed and I don't feel good ramming a little old lady. (It's always little old ladies.)

e: People who take the receipt from an ATM and start looking at it while still standing in front of the ATM like gently caress you little old lady (it's always little old ladies) your transaction is done go read your receipt somewhere else there's ten people in line here.

People who use their "culture" to justify being assholes. I hate even saying this because it makes me sound like a huge racist...I don't know how not to sound like your generic angry white man pissed off that his slightly newer immigrated neighbors are ruining his good time on the property stolen by others.

Anyway, someone blasting their bass-driven music out of an open truck door directly onto our bedroom window is rude. When I try to address it, the response is, "Hey man, it's our culture. You need to respect our culture. This is how we do it."

Well, motherfucker, if it's my culture to take a big loving poo poo on the hood of our neighbor's car, it doesn't make it okay to do it.

I guess this might be a singular problem. But if other people do it, why that just makes me :argh:

Ugh, I just suffered through two weekends with a houseguest who had this charming habit. I started tallying how many sentences I got to finish- eight. And I received sarcastic replies to all of them. She just left yesterday and I'm actually kind of sad her luggage didn't end up in Guam or something. Horrible girl.

I really need to start doing that. Nice to know it's not just me with this problem, though.

This really is a stupid thing to get angry over, so this seems like the right place for it: online shops that send you an email to tell you they're picking out your item now, or packing your item now. What's the point? Confirmation they've received the order makes sense. Confirmation that they've posted it is useful, it lets me know to keep an eye out for our idiot postman leaving a parcel where the dog can chew it. But what am I supposed to do with the information that someone's getting the item I want and putting it in a box?

I have no idea how this has started happening but at the gas station closest to my house, if all the pumps are full people have started waiting RIGHT IN THE loving DRIVEWAY OF THE LOT. It's the "standing obliviously in a doorway" thing except far more frustrating because cars are involved. Like, I want to get in and grab some aluminum foil quick, I've got the oven preheating, I'm giving you the polite "get the gently caress out of my way what are you doing there" honk, there's two cars behind me and a third waiting to turn, WHY ARE YOU IN THE DRIVEWAY? I literally never saw anything so stupid for the past year+ and now within the last two weeks it seems like it's happening every time I drive by. Where do people learn these habits? :psyduck:

Grown adults eating with their mouths open

I was going to post this.

I'm Swedish and we are very peculiar about personal space so my worst quirks that bug me are about that.


People who somehow managed to get their hands in my face during a conversation. I worked with a guy who used his hands a lot while talking and while demonstrating something he had a habit of getting his hands in a 10 cm range from other peoples faces. Just the oddest things like "I was working and this thing slid down and missed my face by *this much* *swings open palmed hand past other persons face*"

People who touch my food. Not actually digging into the food itself but reach into my lunchbox to lift out the water bottle or milk carton to demonstrate a point or just because it sparked his interest. Like for example when the work team are out eating and we order in sandwiches. They come wrapped in plastic and this one guy could pick up my sandwich and hold it up like "Hey check this out, roast beef and potato salad, fancy"

People who try to snag the whole phone when you want to show them a picture.

People who loving swipe when you show them a picture.

People who borrow tools out of my car without asking. Just walking right past me to dig in there in my stuff. Yeah it's a company car and some of it is company equipment but I'm responsible for and take care of all of it.



Once I worked with a guy and we were meeting up at a parking lot. As I drove up I got a phone call so I stayed in my car to finish the call before stepping out of the car. While I'm sitting there talking on the phone, the other guy walks up to my car, opens the drivers door and then just stands there with his hands in his pockets, looking at me while I'm on the phone. That pissed me off more than anything has for years and I can't even explain why.

Its just ignorance I think. They don't realize that you could potentially be swiping into a huge repository of every photo the person has ever taken, they think its like an individual photo album or something and if picture #1 is a cute dog then there may be more cute dog pictures in the album.

This happened to me twice at the gym this morning. She went inside the door and stopped with it right behind her, staring at her phone. Luckily the door was glass so I used the adjacent one, and she got out of the way. Leaving the locker room not ten minutes after, I almost ran into her again because she was staring at her phone, right in the middle of the doorway.

Look, facebook is clearly more important than your workout, that's fine--but please stop standing in doorways that people are trying to walk through.
