If someone is particularly rude, I'll offer them a you're welcome as they push past me.

Like at a drive through. Pay your money, they give you your order, and they don't say a flippin word. LovelyOr even a nod or smile.

Hate when I am obviously just standing in the doorway holding the door for the next person to grab the door and they just try to squeeze by me.Say thank you when I hold the door for you, even a quick "thanks".
This just happened to me.Say thank you when I hold the door for you, even a quick "thanks".
In a roundabout way, this reminds me of a project I was working on at my last job. It was my first project to get me some knowledge of the company, so it was pretty simple. But we were updating about 400 stores in like a 2 week period all across the country. I had to manage field techs from companies all over the country and these guys had to follow a strict schedule unless they ran into an unforeseen issue.urbanhack said:People that consistently live off of excuses.
I don't care. You didn't get it done. You didn't call. You didn't text. You didn't show up.
I don't give a #### why when there is pattern.
And conversely, people who walk out the door and don't bother to see who's behind them, letting the door shut on them.Hate when I am obviously just standing in the doorway holding the door for the next person to grab the door and they just try to squeeze by me.Say thank you when I hold the door for you, even a quick "thanks".
On my way home from work there is an intersection where although there isn't an actual right turn lane, if the first car was to pull up to the line and be slightly to the left of center all the turning cars can squeeze past on the right and make their turns. If I am that first car I always make sure to look in my mirrors and see if car #2 has his blinker on, if so I will slide over and make sure he has room. It doesn't cost me anytime, and helps out someone. Yet everytime I am trying to turn the ###### in front is on the right side of the lane or not pulled up all the way and blocks 5 cars trying to turn.1. When cars are stopped at a light and have big gaps between them when if everyone pulled in closer it would help out someone behind. (Give them room to turn right or get in the turning lane, etc.)
on this i mostly agree but that buffer between cars is also intended to prevent being pushed in to the car in front of you in case of an accident1. When cars are stopped at a light and have big gaps between them when if everyone pulled in closer it would help out someone behind. (Give them room to turn right or get in the turning lane, etc.)
and when you don't tell them what time because you know they'll just intentionally slow play to be late.. they say "well, you didn't tell me what time we had to be there so i wasn't in a hurry!"People who are always late. My wife, for example. She'll ask "what time do you want to leave?" I'll say 8:00. At 8:00, she decides she needs to do this or that, get her shoes on, etc. Then we leave at 8:15.
It's going to be frigid down here in FL this weekend. Probably won't even touch 75 all weekend. I'll keep you updated.D bags that post picks of their thermometers from Florida
"Look everyone..its 75 degrees today in Old Lady land Florida. Hope you are enjoying it in Michigan today"
My aunt does this EVERY YEAR. Last year, she was close, very close, to being wiped out by hurricane Dorian..I very much wanted to post a picture of a blue sky and calm winds then, just to remind HER about how much nicer is is in Michigan during hurricane season, but I did not.
Still..cut it out lady
And i gurantee he screwed up the orders inside. They "know" the order the cars should be rolling inThe other day I was grabbing breakfast out of town and ordered in the drive thru. It’s one of those zipper multi-lane ordering queues and some lady and I were ready to move forward at the same time. I gestured to her to proceed. No big deal. Guy behind her thinks this is a free pass and proceeds to advance in a somewhat aggressive manner (I mean we’re in a drive thru lane). I just glare at him and start rolling forward, WTF? The moral of this story is to be courteous to others. The lady I let go in front of me bought my breakfast. A very nice gesture imo, but common courtesy shouldn’t be so rare it deserves a reward. I didn’t buy the tool behind me breakfast.

My wife is the opposite. She'll ask what time we're leaving and I'll say 8. And at 7:45 she's out in the car, honking the horn and texting me to "Let's go!!!"People who are always late.

I hate those multi lane drivethroughs to the point that I won't go to one unless it is a dead time. I always see that DB in the beater car that wants to play chicken and hugs the bumper of the car in front of him daring you to take your rightful place in line.The other day I was grabbing breakfast out of town and ordered in the drive thru.

My wife is the worst at this. I tell her what time we need to leave, she'll take her shower and sit in a robe until 5 minutes before we need to leave, then she'll start to get ready. Then when she's not ready, I stand behind her in the bathroom as she's doing hair and makeup and whatever, explaining that if she had done this right after her shower, she could have sat on the couch looking at Facebook until it was time to leave.People who are always late.

I've learned the hard way that waiting and the car and honking the horn is not the best idea.and when you don't tell them what time because you know they'll just intentionally slow play to be late.. they say "well, you didn't tell me what time we had to be there so i wasn't in a hurry!"
but if you say "7:30" so you can leave at 7:45 and be there at 8.. they can sense it and now you're not leaving until 8:30.
i've just left a few times. #### it.I've learned the hard way that waiting and the car and honking the horn is not the best idea.
This.i have one to add from last night....
I admit I'm not a big "pleasantry" with the cashier person, I'm not rude - but the basic thanks, hello etc.
The woman in front of me was just gabbing away and the register lady was gabbing right back EVEN after her crap was bagged, in her cart and paid for.
LISTEN you want to catch up on old times don't do it when there is people in ####### line

It took almost 20 years, but she has started to figure it out. The other thing that helped her? I stopped caring about being on time to do stuff I didn't care about (meeting her parents, going to church, etc). Without me managing her time, she had to start dealing with the consequences of being late for stuff that mattered to her. Changed her ways.
To be fair to myself, I am an extremely punctual person. If I say I'll be somewhere, I'll be somewhere at that time or a little early. It's kind of like the Goldilock's thing. The too early one sounds great on paper. But I'll be watching a show that I've timed perfectly to the time we leave. And if no one prompted me, we'd leave exactly at the time I had laid out.Me too!!
in my house it was my brother and i who both needed to be up at 6:30To be fair to myself, I am an extremely punctual person.

I always tell her that her and my dad are similar with time. I remember my dad would ask me what time I needed to get up for school. I'd say 6:30. He'd knock on my door at 6:15 and be like, "Hey, 15 minutes until you need to get up."
You can't just honk politely, you really need to lay on the horn to get everyone's attention.I've learned the hard way that waiting and the car and honking the horn is not the best idea.

It wasn't an overnight change. Maybe she matured. I don't know. I also had to change to actually not care, as I used to care about being on time for EVERYTHING (crazy I know).I do this all the time - doesn't seem to help...
It usually goes can you drive a little faster so we can make up time, I usually give a smart ### remark and we fight the entire car ride
Who is using these outside of their house? Anyone who flosses in an area they don't own should be put down.Those green toothpick half sickle dental floss things are just like cigarette butts. People throw them on the ground left and right.
You will start to notice them on the ground at shopping centers now that i pointed it out.Who is using these outside of their house? Anyone who flosses in an area they don't own should be put down.

You forgot the evening sitting on the throne because one nimrod forgot to refrigerate their foul offering.Office potlucks.
Why yes, I would love a combination plate of cheese enchiladas, fruit jello mold, Costco croissants, and crockpot hot dog and beans.
Yeah this is absolutely huge for me.sandwiches where the bread to meat ratio eclipses a 2:1 ratio.
PreachYou forgot the evening sitting on the throne because one nimrod forgot to refrigerate their foul offering.
One of the main reasons that Philly Cheesesteaks not bought within a 100 mile radius of Philly. A good cheesesteak place will give you a fork with your sandwich because they know about 25% of the meat will end up on the plate. That's because it's overflowing with steak. Anywhere else in the country, you'll get a little bit of meat, a lot of useless crap that shouldn't be on a cheesesteak, and a lot of dry, terrible bun.sandwiches where the bread to meat ratio eclipses a 2:1 ratio.

They're the same people that put the TP on the spool so it comes out the bottom instead of over the top.When the designated napkin dispenser filling person puts the napkins in backwards. So instead of being able to take one at a time, you either have to break into the dispenser(which is harder than breaking into a vault at times) or squeeze your fingers down on the top napkin, forcing you to pull out like 10 at one time.
It can't be that hard to fill these things yet I see this too often to not mention it.
I feel like this is one of those fake pet peeves that the internet created. I honestly went 35 years not caring until someone pointed it out on the internet. And when I see it put on the other way, I don't think it's ever really bothered me that much.They're the same people that put the TP on the spool so it comes out the bottom instead of over the top.
