The drive thru menu.  Would it be too hard to make it viewable as the second car in line?  Why wait until I am at the speaker to be able to decide what I want.  And can you put the full menu on there instead of just part of it?

I went to a place that had this and I waited for about 5 minutes at the board for someone to help me before someone pulled up behind me and honked.  :bag:

Tired of people mooching every last single solitary thing. Primarily it’s old people who still can’t wrap their heads around paying for something digital because you can’t touch It, but then want to use it. Basically every older relative I have “I want to watch that show on Netflix, can I use your login?”  or “Can you ship me something on your Amazon Prime account and I’ll send you a check?”
 

Inevitably I order something off prime and then I get a call “actually I saw one at the store yesterday, I don’t need it.”  
 

F’ing infuriating.

people rushing through lights in terrible driving conditions

i'm sure your passenger is having a medical emergency and all but maybe don't punch it to try and beat the yellow or you might cause an accident possibly resulting in an actual medical emergency, ace

Sorry man, really didn't feel like waiting for the next light.

The word you are looking for is "no".

GTFO with your logic, lol. It is stupid if they seat aisle people first, then those aisle people have to get back up and move to let in window people. 

Im sure it could all be resolved if every single person didn’t immediately jump up, crowd the gate, and elbow each their to be the first one on the plane as soon as the gate agent reaches for the microphone to announce boarding. I haven’t found one yet that gives out prizes or gold bars for being first to your seat...

flying just pisses me off in general

My comment about the study was more about rows.  I agree it would make sense to board window people first, but most airlines's boarding sequence is done by status.  And people with better status often choose the aisle seats.

All the flying I do, no way I want that kind of loading order.  My status means if I don't get a first class or Delta comfort bump, I get to board first..Plenty of space for my bags....You don't like it..tough nuts....Status brings privileges.

Well, at least you're honest. "The way they load sucks but, hey, it benefits me so back off!"

HOV lanes....

creates congestion (not enough people actually carpooling). it takes away a lane (passing lane).

people who drive in them without proper car or just as a solo driver

Yeah I'm Delta too. But the reality is most of the status "privileges" are basically what everyone used to get for free a few years ago. Those comfort seats are what a regular economy seat used to be, maybe even less leg room. Now it's an "upgrade". And we only need the space for carry-on bags because they started charging non-status folks for checked luggage. Other than the first class upgrades, there's nothing special about it at all anymore. 

 
I don't get full-on road rage, but man some drivers piss me off quite a bit.

Here's a gem from my commute home the other afternoon.

Driving down a busy 3-lane avenue headed home, traffic is basically bumper-to-bumper.  You'd move 30-40 feet and have to stop.  Maybe a bit more depending on the signals ahead.

I get to an intersection with signal, and there's a "do not block intersection" sign.  The traffic is slowing down and I smartly anticipate the car ahead of me is going to barely make it through the intersection, so I slow down and eventually stop behind the line, so... ya know... I don't block the intersection.

And this tool behind honks at me, apparently wanting me to go into the intersection.  Yes, I know, the light is green, d00shbucket.  But I'm not blocking the intersection.

I gave him the two-arm "what do you want me to do?" gesture, but should have probably given him the one that uses one finger instead.

Stop being stupid.

Knowing when you can cross an intersection without blocking it is an art.  You have to be able to see the lights up ahead and determine if the traffic will clear before your own light turns red.  I hate it when the car ahead of me just sits at the green light when it's clear from looking at the green lights up ahead that traffic will be moving any second and then we end up getting another red light.

Agreed, absolutely.   The light ended up staying green and the car ahead of me eventually moved up several car lengths so I (and the tool behind me) made it through the intersection with ease.  

 
It's been said but bears repeating (and not talking about bears with gas).

5 lanes, 2 each way and 1 center turn lane. Sitting at red light.

A: Don't wave a guy to turn into a driveway when the guy in the other lane is not doing the same. Turner will get t-boned.

B: Don't take the bait if you are the one being waved thru. You will also get t-boned.

Disagree my brother....Free booze in Delta comfort.  I need to say no more

 
I play a lot of poker at my local casino.  Playing in a 1-2 hold em game and it drives me nuts having people take forever to make decisions.  I'm talking about guys tanking preflop to a $10 raise like it is the final table at the WSOP.

So I get to spend $9k MQDs a year to reach Platinum status and maybe get a free, same day "upgrade" to Delta comfort over the Silver and Gold folks, for the chance to score $10 in free drinks. Makes sense.

I can top this with the newer Ezpass pay lanes with surge pricing that they have on I95 in Maryland and Virginia.

There was an accident on 95 and I watched as the price cranked up as we crawled towards that pay lane entrance. Then naturally with some traffic diverted, the main lanes loosened up and start moving as well.

The hollywooding that people do to make it look like they have a tough decision when someone 3 bets them is crazy. If this is your rent money, maybe you need to reconsider your life choices. 

 
Jamming packages into a small apt size mailbox because you're too lazy to bring it to the door. I know mail people are busy but wtf?? A 5 lb bag of pellets was jammed in with other stuff. No way to get it out without losing skin. Called usps and they got it out. 🙄

 
People asking me if I'm still cancer free. As far as I know! Wtf. Still? I know I'm high risk for mets but I don't need you waiting for the other shoe to drop for me.😐

Even better when you are expecting a delivery of something that shouldn't fit in the mailbox...and the email from Amazon is that it was delivered and on my front porch.  After a quick look outside, nothing.  Go to the mailbox and its crammed in there.

It's the worst lcd hive mind kid stuff going. Be just out of college, out on a Santa cap, start drinking at 11am , start peeing and puking publicly everywhere by 3, general thoughtless beligerance until passing out. I'm sure it's fun for them- who doesn't like puking at 1pm in the middle of a busy NYC intersection and then mob mentality taking over sidewalks and neighborhoods the rest of the day... A blast. For the rest of us trying to take our kids to their classes and whatnot....yeah...awesome.
