Poop Things that annoy you about the general public - Page 9

I will start.

How about people who argue with a base level employee about a policy? The receptionist didn't make the policy. She can't let you in without an appointment. She isn't going to risk her job just because you're an idiot and can't follow the policy like everyone else, or because you think you're special and policies don't apply to you. Becoming irate is not going to increase your chances, either.

Walking into a business. Typically there are at least two doors. Sometimes more.
But if one of those doors has someone going through it, every other person will wait for that door to clear to both go in and out.

This infuriates me.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, didn't get to the Bluffs much (at all). Had a buddy that went to Morningside though, got up to your neck of the woods to see him once. Beautiful country.

Old people who crash into Walmart / other stores.

How drunk people always want to bitch and fight about something.

Giant ****ing trucks.

I also have cash in two different banks, so I could use a different debit card if I had to with no inconvenience.

I never have more than $20 on me in cash. If someone hacks my card, I'm out nothing. If someone takes my cash or forges a check, then it's gone.

To each their own dude. You'll just have to sit & ****ing wait

People who constantly complain or feel the need to bitch about things they have no control over.

People who bitch and complain about how long something is taking when they obviously have no where else to be. Example: Bitching and complaining about how long you have to wait for your food....and then you sit down for an hour to eat once you get it.

How is this possible? Unless you get a pull through, you have to back up once. How does the order of backing up make one method safer than another? Someone should write a thesis on this.

This. For sure. People who think they are the only people in a particular place at a particular time:

A group of people at a bar who feel the need to talk over one another, not realizing or realizing that the entire bar hears them and cannot talk over each other because you think you are the only ones in the bar.

A woman in a grocery store who is standing in front of the ground beef and is taking 30 minutes to decide which ground beef she wants. It is ground beef. 85/15, 90/10.......make a decision because there is a line forming around you of others who know exactly what they want.

A group of people in a mall/parking lot/bottom of an escalator who decide that that moment in that place they need to have a discussion about which direction to go. I am exiting off the escalator and I am sorry if I step on you because there is only one way off the thing......and you are standing in it.

People who are walking who stop for no real reason right in front of you to talk.

HAVE SOME AWARENESS!!!!! SHARE THE WORLD!!!!!

Do it whenever I can. Ya, I guess I'm "that guy"

People walking in the street when theirs a perfectly functioning sidewalk right next to them.
I’m glad these people are getting their health on but they can still do that while getting the **** out of the road.
