Jerks that dont clean up after their dogs suck. Jerks that clean up, but then decide ahhh screw it i dont want to carry this bag of crap anymore, deserve to have to spend a week in solitary listening to timscochet posts being read.

Was walking my dogs the other evening, and both of them did #2. I had bags with me of course, and I picked up after them. 

The following day was trash day, so people had their cans down by the street. Is it okay to drop the bags of poop in somebody else's cans? I carried them all the way home and disposed of them in my trash, but wondering if it is acceptable to put elsewhere. 

 
People that turn every situation or comment into a political argument. Everything that happens in life isnt because of Trump/Hillary.

I would say unacceptable, but its a close call. One thing i have learned about my trash guys is that if something falls out during emptying they just leave it on the ground. I would be pretty pissed if when i had to pull my cans back in there was a bag of dog crap on the ground.

Sometimes I go to 7-11 for coffee in the morning.

Back in NY 7-11 always had several large containers of milk and various creamers in the coffee section

here in Texas they all have small single serving pull tab containers which causes it to take the better part of an hour to cream my coffee

why can't they have a full container of milk available?

I wouldn't care but people tend to get butt hurt about that sort of stuff when it comes to their personal property.

Writing a friggin check in the check-out line at the grocery store. 

Its only old (70+) people who do this. Have they not heard of debit cards? 

And they don't even have the decency to pre-write a check, they fish around in their purse for their check book, then fish around again for a pen and slowly flip to a new check. 

So frustrating, especially when I'm next in line and all my stuff is ready to be scanned. 

Outside of maybe paying your rent or lending someone money, aren't checks pretty useless? 

 
Took my kids to the zoo tonight.  There were grown adults who would nudge their way through up to the front of an exhibit.  Almost had to punch a few people.

Are we talking about lines or trying to get a good view up on the glass?

Self checkout is one of the best inventions of recent times

Why is that an issue?  Maybe they have a bad back and heavy doors could make the back go out.  Then people would complain how they were a drain on society when they missed work and what not.  Press that button imo.

The handicapped doors can be the absolute hardest to open too. Like they are fighting you.

Yeah, until you get 2 that are broken, and the other 4 being used by people who should be in the regular check out lanes.  

And holy geezus, please don't have unstickered produce.  Checking that stuff out is like solving a sudoku puzzle to some of these people.

So ignorant, that #### pisses me off. My 12 year old (at the time) was doing it at Disney a few years ago. He didn't listen for three days until I did to him what he was doing to other people, threw him a solid body check. He doesn't do it anymore. 

 
Why does Canada have to use letters in their postal codes? Is it a 0 or an O or is it a 1 or an I. 

Just stick with numbers people.

"Could you text it to me"

Listen ########. You asked me if I knew Jon's number. I just gave it to you. So you can either enter it into your own damn phone or grab a pen and write it down. 

 
If this has been mentioned before--I apologize--but the following things are something that I feel are dynamics that are getting more and more prevalent in society--and I find myself getting more and more annoyed by it. 

The obsession with capturing everything in a photo or video to where people are missing out on participating and enjoying amazing moments is mind boggling.  Missing out on experiencing a moment for the sake of catching it on a picture or video to watch it later is counter intuitive.  I mean--why pay big money to go to a concert--in order to hold a phone up and snap video and take pictures the entire time?   I could watch concert videos on YouTube all day long for free if I wanted to--which is exactly  why I'd never ruin my own concert experience worrying about whether I got a good video of that said concert.   Go to any sort of event these days--and you'll see people like zombies--just sitting there disconnected from that event just holding their phones up. It's pathetic.  

Peeve #2--I'm not big on social media--but I do have Facebook to keep up with old buddies and my family that live overseas.  I just think that if you are going to post a picture of somebody on social media--ask them first. Not everybody wants everything they do to be shared with the rest of the world without their consent.    One's obsessions with social media shouldn't trump the rights of others to privacy.

I had a friend play Pokemon Go while we were playing another game.  WTF?  Were you raised in a barn?  Play on your own time, not mine.

hate #1. care less that they're missing out living life- care more that they're blocking my view of whatever it is I'm there to see. this happens incessantly at school/kid performances. and people use ####### Ipads to take video- wtf?!! like blocking out the sky so they can capture lil timmy sit there like a deer in the headlights on stage. how do people get so self-absorbed and oblvious to the world around them? how does it get that point?

 
There is an easy setting on Facebook that allows you to approve of anything someone else tags you on so it doesn't appear on your timeline

People that leave me a voice message then follow with a text asking me to check my messages.
And (usually the same) people that send me a text then follow with a phone call asking me to check my texts.

 
The gas station.  I pretty much hate everything about every f-ing gas station I go to.  Put out your f-ing cigarette moron.  

Costco.  So the Costco near me that I belong to, it could not possibly be laid out any better, every dumba$$ thing you could possibly do wrong is essentially eliminated in the design of it yet people still f-ing do it wrong, I honestly hate people sometimes.  There's ONE way into the fuel pumps, with giant f-ing arrows painted on the ground and signs that say "One Way" yet people still go in the wrong way.  They have pumps, like 6 sets of pumps set up for left or right side filling and what do people do?  They either park on the wrong side or they turn their cars around and enter where it clearly says DO NOT ENTER.  Why are people so f-ing stupid?  I have 3 cars, two have the fill up on the left and one has it on the right.  I have a horrible memory but you know what?  There's an F-ING ARROW on the fuel gauge that CLEARLY tells me which side the fill up is on.  It's not that hard!

Shell station - 1.) Do you have a rewards card? Y/N  2.) Credit or Debit? 3.) Zip Code 4.)Credit or Debit?  (Didn't we just go over this on question 2? 5.) Do you want a car wash? Y/N 6.) Do you want a receipt? Y/N  and then of course the pump is sticky, there's goop on the screen, the receipt paper is empty, there's no paper towels, there's no solution in the wash bin and the squeegee is usually a tattered pos.

My biggest problem is people buying their week's groceries ( as well as all their smoking & lotto needs) at the freaking gas station while I'm stuck behind them trying to buy gas and maybe one other item.

lady i work with

calls, leaves voicemail: "call me when you get a chance." /message

10 seconds later, sends email: "i just left a voicemail, call me when you get it."

not without knowing what it is that you want. sorry. 

 
when people 'in recovery' (see also 'in the program') conspire with 'ex-smokers' to lecture a mother###### for having a beer and a Marlboro.

 
What is so hard about taking one pass down the sidewalk bike path or road after you just cut your lawn with your riding mower? Jesus. All you have to do is just drive down one time to clear it off. Instead we all get to walk through your 8 inch long clippings because you are too lazy to cut your grass more than once every two weeks. 

 
Went running last night. Like a good citizen, I run on the sidewalks.

A couple is out walking. In the middle of the street. When a car comes, the car has to slow down and wait for them to move over. Cars are backing up waiting for these twits to get over. I run off, and see them about 10 minutes later. Now they are walking up a hill and have moved over, and cars have to drive in the middle of the street to avoid them, all while driving UP a hill with a blind view.

USE THE SIDEWALK. It's nice. Well paved. It is 3 feet away from you. 

F'N people.
