I'm sure it's been mentioned. Hell, I've probably mentioned it but it's not stopping.

Grown adults riding the back of shopping carts going downhill in a parking lot.

I #### you not I saw an 75yo man doing it last weekend.
I do this 75% of the time I go shopping with my wife.

Live a little...
This morning I saw a pregnant woman do it and she had a 2 year old in the kid seat of the cart.

 
Focusing on "empowering" women/girls and by an extension emasculating men.

Look, I've got a daughter that I want to succeed every bit as much as my son. But focusing on her and telling her that unless there's some machine backing/empowering her rather than her fighting to succeed is just about as sexist as anything else I can think of.

The Samsung Galaxy ad where the female boss sighs "Aaandrew" because his tablet isn't good enough makes me want to slap someone upside the head with an iPad.

 
I was at the store today and there's a teenage boy in front of me in line. He looks like your average 16-17 year old: baseball cap, t-shirt and basketball shorts on a warm day. Except he had on dress socks and shoes to go with it. WTH? Is that a thing now?

No, he just has poor taste or maybe changed into something more comfortable after work.

I don't understand any of this.
 
Pickup truck/SUV drivers.

Quit. Freaking. Tailgating. :hot:
I don't know why pickup drivers think they can intimate you because they are in a pickup. What am I worried about? That you'll hit me? You aren't going to. And if you did, that's bad whether it's a Fiat or a Hummer

Girls rule, boys drool? Never heard of it?

 
People who don't flush the toilet, especially after dropping off a loaf. Seriously, are you some kind of barbarian? It's especially disturbing when no toilet paper is seen in the bowl.

 
4 way stops. I get to it at the same time as the person across from me. they are going straight, I am turning left. they sit there waving me though seems like every damn time.

 
people taking food into stand alone retail stores. it isn't the mall, you can wait a couple minutes to finish your sundaes and fancy lattes.

When you say "shoes to go with it", are you saying dress shoes?

If not, and they are basketball shorts, those aren't dress socks. They are likely Nike socks, but if not, black crewsocks with basketball shoes are a thing.

 
It's probably already been mentioned here, but any dude that takes a selfie has some serious issues. I can give chicks a pass, because they are always looking for validation...but guys, just stop.

No, they were absolutely dress socks and dress shoes.

I think selfies themselves have been mentioned, but I would definitely agree with this.

Maybe ironic "old guy mowing lawn" look? It can't be much worse than the $1 bin mesh-back baseball hats with the 70's wacky sayings.

Shame on you, 17 seconds, for trying to rob us married guys the best (and often ONLY) part of shopping with our wives.

 
Themed 5k runs: color runs, zombie runs, etc. Gimmicky and plain dumb.
The wife suggested we do a color run once.

"Let me get this straight. You want me to race, which isn't so bad, but with people shooting paint at me the whole time?"

"It's quirky and fun!"

"Am I similarly armed with an automatic supersoaker?"

"No. You're just running. They paint your shirt."

"Are they all certified marksman?"

"I don't know."

"What if they miss the shirt and get me in the eyes and hair? I am not a Peter North color guard toy. Do I at least get to punch them?"

"Peter North?"

"Just answer the question."

"No."

"What if I take off the shirt. Can I whip them with it as I pass and scream paint this mofos, I wiped my @$$ with it!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I sometimes wonder this myself."

I did this once. Race started off before we even started the run with some fat pig opening up a color packet and throwing it right behind her head no-look...right directly in my face.

 
People who insist on backing into their parking spot, but are unable to do it in one move and need to back in and out to get it right.

And people who back are unable to do it and take up 2 or 3 spots. Definitely a keyable offense. And none other than the men with small d@@@ syndrome parking their 40 foot wide country bumpkin pickups taking up 4 or 5 parking spaces.
