Pet peeves, or the actions of stupid people

[Marvin]

Just wondering what are some of your pet peeves of stupid people. Here are some of my own, in no particular order.

1. Groups of people standing right in the MIDDLE of the sidewalk, usually during lunch hour when I am running out to grab a sandwich and head back to the office, and they don't have a clue to perhaps move over to one side.

2. Individuals who can't walk in a straight line and usually walk really slow so it is virtually impossible to pass them, again during the busy lunch hour downtown.

3. When it is raining, people who carry umbrellas and walk slow and underneath the cover of awnings so that people without umbrellas have to jet out into the open and get wet.

Please, feel free to add your own.

-People who all of a sudden stop in the middle of a busy sidewalk trying to figure out where they are going and hence causing a pile-up of pedestrians.

-People who take on step off the escalator and stop because theyre not sure where theyre going - again causing a pile of people coming off the escalator behind them.

-The grocery store is a pain in the arse as well. People who manage to block an entire aisle with one cart. Geez.

Those office workers at lunch, the ones in a rush to get a sandwich, who don't seem to understand that my lunch hour lasts all day and the reason I'm taking the whole sidewalk is cause I'm stoned.

 

[goldenpig]

People who take out their daily frustrations on the clerk or teller at airports/fastfood joints/banks/stores etc... who obviously have no power to correct the situation. Screaming at the Air Canada teller is not going to make your plane arrive on time.

Cyclists who ride in the middle of the lane. Got damn it, move over! I have no problem if they take up the entire lane because they need to make an upcoming left turn. If they are just riding around, move the hell over!! It also annoys me a great deal when they don't stop for stop signs. They are there for a reason.

 

[hitrack]

Anybody who pisses me off when up to that point I was having a perfectly good day.

Tourists: if you are this stupid at home, its no wonder your neighbours took up a collection to send you elsewhere.

 

[wilde]

People who almost always finish answering a question with a right (?) or you know(?). I don't know if your are right and no I don't fecking know, or I wouldn't ask you in the first place you idiot.

Well that explains it then!

jmilow,

As an avid cyclist I can tell you why we ride in the middle of the lane (actually, I ride the right 1/3 of the lane) - we do so to make cars go around us instead of brushing by us with only inches to spare. Remember, bicycles are governed under the Motor Vehicle Act, and thus must be riden on roads, not sidewalks. I drive as well as ride, so I know that there are both bad riders and bad drivers but trust me (I've been hit by three cars over the years, all 100% driver error), it is in the riders best interest to ride defensively!!

Another pet peeve, riders without helmets on sidewalks.

Another one:

You arrive at double doors of a restaurant, building or what not at the exact same time as the person going in or coming out ... and they don't even attempt to open the door on their side but rather squeezes by you or tries to when you open your side.

If you are one of those weasels, I am the one that says out loud "the other door works too" or "what's the matter, arm broke?"

Idiots!!

LEAF BLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate them, hate them, hate them!!!!

[Hardatwork]

Those kids that are wannabe gangtas. They look and talk like J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys or those annoying Gotti kids. HELLO! This isn't LA or Detroit and you're not an impoverished black or latino from the hood. You're a spoiled snotty nosed punk assed white kid from the burbs, with rich parents so pull up your pants, pull that baseball cap around so the bill is pointing forward and quit talking like Queen Latifah! If you want to dress, talk and act that way let me send you down to LA and see how long you last!

-VERY simple concept......when you're on the highway....left lane fast....right lane slow.....incase the crayons who don't understand are reading this let me say it again left lane fast....right lane slow......unless your passing someone you have no gawd damn business being in the left lane
-I'm pretty sure that transport canada requires that ALL cars have signal lights installed @ the factory.....use the flipping things....pull your left hand off you pecker, stick it straight out, that little stick on the steering column.....figure out how it works

HFS

Hifisex already took my 2 pet peeves...

God, I hate people boxing me in on the highway, trying to remain abreast of the person beside them...HELLO? Anyone Home?? That's not the rule!

I did notice the other day on the highway to Sidney from Victoria, that I came up behind someone on the left lane and as soon as they could, they moved over to the slow lane so I could pass!! Will wonders never cease? Someone got the universal code right for once!! Hazzah! Hallelujah!

 

[Cock Throppled]

People talking on cell phones while not realizing they are driving. People talking LOUDLY on cell phones. Idiot who let their cell phones ring in theatres - or answer them. Beeping wristwatches. People who bump into you and don't say, "Excuse me." Boom cars that thump thru a neighbourhood. People who count out exact change and take forever doing it when paying in a store. People who can't decide on what drink/snack/flavour they want and hem and haw while the line builds behind them. Idiots who can't remember their PIN numbers and put them in over and over again incorrectly. If it didn't work the first three times - THE NUMBER IS STILL WRONG - the fourth time. People who approach an ATM like it's the bridge of the Starship Enterprise and can't figure out how to withdraw $20 in less than 10 minutes. mentioned this on another thread - people who leave a full car length between them and the car ahead when stopped at lights.

LOL What a topic....a couple off the top of my head....

-people that use a fucking umbrella when its sunny and nice outside....give me a break, stay the fuck inside if you're afraid of a little sune

-people that wear socks with their sandles!! Grrrrr, this one pisses me off immensely

Thats it for now, although I do have a few others

 

[wilde]

Members who continues to start non-review threads in the review sections even after having their threads moved by the Mod and been told not to by other members.

People who wears white socks with black or dark colour shoes (wake the feck up, the MJ moonwalk look is kinda outdated now).

People who covers their BO with perfume (makes it smell even more disgusting).

People who dosen't dicard the remains of their chewing gum properly.

LEAF BLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate them, hate them, hate them!!!! I am seriously consider going to the home depot and sabotaging the boxes

Speaking of leafblowers, when my SO went to Home Depot to buy one for my birthday a couple of years ago, she went up to one of the guys that work there and ask "where do you keep the sucker-blowers." Boy, did she get a funny look.
