Great.

Dangling a lit cigarette out your window as you drive, then flicking it into the road.

Thankfully I don't see this very often anymore.

Leaving your trash in a wildlife preserve. Usually a couple beer cans and cigarettes mixed in. gently caress you.

People trying to be "nice" while driving, by not taking the right-of-way that's theirs. You encounter these people particularly often when on a bike.

I have a stop sign, you don't. I can make my turn as soon as you've gone past on the cross street. Why are you rolling to a stop and waving me out? All I know is you're now behaving unpredictably and making up your own rules of the road, which does not inspire me to leap out in front of you. Now we're both stopped here wondering what the hell. If you had just gone through when you were supposed to, we both would have been on our way by now.

Just put your foot down on the road, don't trackstand, making it clear as day that you are stopped and waiting for your turn and point at the stop sign while they keep waving you on, and then eventually give you the finger and yell something not intelligible inside their car and zoom off angrily.

Like sorry to frustrate you trying to be nice, but safety and predictability are kinda important.

Same loving poo poo as multilane signal controlled crosswalks when in ped mode where someone stops on the green.

The person in the other lane has no loving clue that the kid is now going to cross against the light since you are waving them across to be "nice".

I've literally had to grab people and stop them from getting murked.

They get pissed of course and it takes a second to process what was about to happen when the second lane zooms by they were going to stroll into, because someone was being "nice" and they couldn't see it.

Generally people who are scared of spiders are weird and annoying. Not because of their fear of spiders though. Like, spiders don't bug me at all, in fact I like them, but I have stupid irrational animal fears too. Rats and snakes creep me out because they always come out of nowhere and startle me or whatever, so I get being afraid of some animal for no reason. But spider people seem to think their arachnophobia is like, cute/noteworthy/a meme or something. Just insanely dramatic about it. You even can't look at a fake spider in a movie or a video game? Give me break. Even irl, I can see getting startled or bothered by one, but not in the way people act about it. It's so loving corny.

I wouldn't judge someone from jumping away from one or getting freaked out. It's just the "kill it with fire" "does it have spiders in it? Spiders trigger me" people. You sound like a baby.

People being shitscared of spiders in a country where the biggest spider is the size of your thumbnail and, at most, can cause mosquito-level itching if it bites you are as worthy of scorn as someone with a phobia of spoons.

Being scared of spiders in a country where the fuckers will literally chase you and can bite through your shoe or are simply loving huge is more understandable and those people have my sympathy.

I had an ex girlfriend like this. Just absolutely flip out and make a scene in the presence of a spider no matter how itsy bitsy. She would walk in the street and risk getting hit by a car rather than walk on the sidewalk under low hanging tree branches that might have webs in them. And forget about camping or walks in the woods, she would be so jumpy and constantly brushing imaginary spiders off, always thinking they were dangling over her head. And yeah, couldn’t look at an image of anything spider like. It was embarrassing.

I had a friend who got bit by one of those and even after going immediately to the hospital he showed me his leg where he got bit the next day and it was a huge like 2 foot long black and green necrotized bruise and ever since then I will like, kick outdoor chairs before sitting on them and stuff to see if any spiders scurry out. I don't get people screaming and running when they see spiders though, that's a weird overly dramatic reaction to have to any phobia and I agree with whoever brought this up that it seems more common with spiderpeople than other phobias

but also people who say this whenever someone mentions not liking a popular thing. Like if they ask me what my favorite tv show is and I say I don't watch TV, and then they go all "well la-dee-dah mister has no TV, big-shot no-tv watching jabroni, you're sooooooo cooooool" then they're actually worse than the people who brag about not watching TV
