Things that annoy you about the general public

[ToxSocks]

Parents who don't control their kids and even sometimes encourage their shitty behavior.

When i was a Teacher's assistant i had to routinely speak to the parents when ever their kids did something stupid. It was appalling the way some of their parents would react.

This bugs me even more now that I'm a Dad. If you can't control your kids or discipline them....then get them the **** out of the store.

I was in 7-11 two days ago and ran into something like this. Little kid, musta been around 4-5 years old, just running around SCREAMING, smashing the bags of chips, slapping the coffee counter, running around all over the place, making a shit ton of noise.

The dad just watched him run around like a little hellion, smiling like a proud father.

No one said anything.....it seemed like people thought he might've been a special needs child? It was hard to say, he seemed like a normal kid....it's hard to tell sometimes though.

When I was a kid....my brother and I used to get the same lecture before we went anywhere with my Dad.

"You two are to stick by me the entire time. You are not to run off or stay behind to look at something. And so help me God...if you throw a fit in the store....just remember this. I will not yell at you or hit you in the store. We will leave without buying something and I will take you home where there is no one around to watch me discipline you."

We didn't **** around in stores.

The old saying...."there are no witnesses at home"

[temper11]

people who block an isle in a parking lot for 10 minutes because they are waiting for a closer parking space.

I hate that it seems like everyone wants SOMETHING, but wants to give nothing to get it...

If you run a business I am sure you see it.

So many people out there who just go around trying to get something free all the time.

[NinerDoug]

People who run red lights (late through the intersection) when you are waiting to make a left turn the opposite direction.

How about tipping? Everybody gets ****ing tip for doing their job and it's the easy work that require a tip. Great, I brought you your food...probably ****ed up the order, great I got you something to drink to wash down that dry ass steak. Oh joy I brought your bags to your room in the hotel.

How about this? There you go sir I put your fire out in your house after your left the kerosine heater running all night...how about a tip? Okay how about this, there you go sir I arrested that the bad guy after he broke into your house at gun point...where's my tip?

The easy work requires a tip, go figure.

Hmmm. The bellman? I would agree. But what most servers do doesn't look particularly easy to me.

Well if they are running the red light, then so are you while making a left on red.

No, the left turner is going on yellow but when you see some asshole barreling down the road and it is obvious they intend to run the light you are stuck. Not the same thing.

The lights are the same color. You arent supposed to go into the intersection unless you are able to complete your left hand turn. You have more of a duty to avoid the vehicle coming the opposite direction than they do to avoid you. They technically have the right of way, and will have the exact same color of light. If you both have yellow lights or both have red lights, you breached two duties by failing to maintain proper lookout while turning and failing to yield the right of way
