Uptown baby!
Well when it comes to profound beefs I HATE willful ignorance the MOST. With bullies coming in a close second.





But more in keeping with this thread and things that are say more every day life/common peeves:



  • People who park at crosswalks!!!! Arrggh. There's a fucking reason communities have had to spend a lot of cashola on changing crosswalks since the Americans With Disabilities Act damnit. Ya know? Like people in wheelchairs, electric scooters, or with rollers/rollators would like to also be able to cross the goddamn street at the corner safely and SMOOTHLY without having to risk going up or down curbs. D'uh! I have been known to call the police and report a car that's blocking a crosswalk when fucking yuppie hubris thinks it's more important for them to find a weekend spot for a few hours while they attend a concert or party in my hood than it is for someone in a wheelchair having to ride in the goddamn street until the next corner or a driveway because they couldn't get up the curb.

  • People who place their money or credit cards on the counter instead of handing it to the cashier. MAJORLY rude I feel---esp. if the cashier is holding out their hand in anticipation. For whatever reason this has always gotten me hot under the collar. When I see it happen I am always hoping the cashier puts their change or card back on the counter instead of handing it back to them all civil like! Do unto others and all that jazz.

  • People who who park and block hydrants. See my first bullet. Same principle but for firemen trying to do their goddamn EXTRAORDINARY jobs. Don't think I didn't laugh hysterically once when I saw the Fire Dept. just break right the **** on through someone's car windows to run their hose---BEAUTIFUL!

  • The ever-increasing sizes of of those Pull-Ups diaper-briefs hybrids. I would agree that they are brilliant for the potty training days and our parents probably would have appreciated their convenience too but hey should not be making them in sizes for ever larger weight classes IMO and used as some sort of prolonged diaper stage---potty train your damn children people! I am old school about this (pacifier dependence and strollers for non-toddlers too).

As a former cashier I hated when they set the money down, took me longer to pick it up and picking up coins off a flat surface....yeah thanks...not the easiest thing in the world.

When it comes to dealing with retail staff, my biggest pet peeve is folks who can't get off their fucking phone to complete their transaction. What could possibliy be soooo important that you can't take a second or two to interact with the individual completing your transaction? It's just fucking rude.

Exactly. Whenever I'm going through a check out line and I'm next, I tell the person I'm talking to to hang on and take the phone away from my ear. I complete my transaction and then continue on the phone

People that go to heavy on the fragrance. There is a guy that comes in work and you can smell him 2 floors away. He smells soooooo good, but it is overpowering. I got caught in the elevator with him once and thought I would have an asthma attack.

My Dad is an executive for a commercial realty corporation. He has seen stuff like this happen tons of times (he started out as a building engineer). The FD does worse than just bust out windows, hes seen them use the engine and just plow peoples cars right out of the way.



To add to the thread....people that walk too slow. Seriously, I often go grab lunch in the underground pedway between the blue cross building and the Aqua Building Aion center whatever the **** it is. I frequently get stuck behind people going at a snails pace and I wonder how you could even walk that slow without conciously doing so. Im not walking fast or anything just my normal pace and I have to take baby steps behind people it frustrates the hell out of me.



Also going with the Retail theme and phones, when I am in line at a grocery store walmart what have you and some person is wearing name brand clothes, sporting a 300 dollar iphone, then pulls out their link card to pay.



Lastly, people that act like dicks to retail/service staff. They should that their lucky stars im not a teenager anymore, they would have experienced me.....INSIDE THEM.



I treat service staff like Gods on earth, because I know how I exacted retribution on people that fucked with me.

A couple of my co-workers are so fucking passive aggressive to waiters and waitresses and then ***** because the service sucks. Me I'm really nice to them and usually tip well. Last time I went I apologized to the guy right away for my co-workers. Sorry don't want my food fucked with. Also little things will add a buck to the tip. Like when I go to Chilis and when I am leaving I'll ask for a togo cup of tea. If you give me the big ass cup, extra buck to the tip. First time I ever had Jimmy Johns delivered the window was 1200-1230 guy showed up at exactly 12, seriously it was EXACTLY noon. The guy got 2 extra bucks for that. Pizza guy is usually tipped 4 or more if I'm close to broke I'll give them 3 but I feel bad about it.

I can't stand when people walk slow, I've been known to walk through a foot of the snow in order to pass someone walking too slow. I also hate when people walk on the left side of the sidewalk. This is america we drive on the right, you should get with the program and walk on the right.

...And here we go:



  • People who ***** about their weight but do nothing about it-> I've seen countless people complain about how they are putting on weight but when you ask them what they do to prevent that they say nothing helpful. The easiest way to lose weight is expend more calories then you eat or drink. If you sit at a desk all day drinking soda and eating like shit you are going to put on the pounds and feel like shit. I should follow my own advice, but I don't ***** about being overweight, I do work on it though.



  • People who complain about their shitty relationship-> Yeah being in a crappy relationship sucks, but you know what makes a relationship a relationship? TWO FUCKING PEOPLE! So if you leave because your unhappy and want better, your no longer in THAT shitty relationship. Yeah, everyone knows he's cheating on you and you admit it yourself, but you're still unhappy? LEAVE HIM as he obviously doesn't feel the same about you. Fight all the time and you feel its going no where? LEAVE THE RELATIONSHIP. This pertains more to girls then guys as I know more girls who go through this then guys.



  • Diet Soda-> Enough said.



  • Late Drivers-> Just because I have 10 minutes to spare and I'm about 5 minutes from work doesn't mean you have to drive like an asshole and cut me off or ride my tail... when I'm already going 10 over the speed limit! I can understand dealing with kids is tough and getting them ready is hard, but when it's 6:55 am and you have to be at work at 7:00am, don't be mad at me because I like my life and drive the correct way.



  • Consumer goods-> Whatever happened to quality over quantity? Ever since I was about 16-17 years old I've been purchasing my own materials and goods. Now I can't spend a ton of money on fancy stuff, which I have no need for, but when I buy a product like an Xbox360, I expect it too work, not crap out on me right when I get NHL11! **** you Microsoft!



  • One-Ply Toilet Paper-> I don't like when it makes a whole in itself mid-wipe.





/end for now.

I have to offer a counter argument for the driving one. I live in Florida and am surrounded by slow old people. Now old ******* need to realize, I have places to be, I do not have time to dick with you as you do 5 under the limit. Yes I get it you are fucking retired and don't have a timeclock to punch. I however do punch a clock so MOVE THE FLYING **** OUT OF THE GOD DAMN MOTHERING **** WAY.

My buddy routinely calls the cops on folks in the 'burbs who park like idiots. Occasionally around soccer season, we'll sit on his porch drinking some beers and watch the soccer mom's park on a curve in the road that clearly has a "No Parking" sign... and call the cops and watch them swing around and just leave ticket after ticket.



Definitely agree on treating any kind of waitstaff like an asshole. It's says a lot about a person when you see how they interact with people they feel are "lower" or subserviant to them.
