I don't understand people who use an alias. Weird stuff.

You're missing out

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

People that need to remind you at every turn that they are eating gluten-free organic, hormone-free New Zealand eucalyptus leaves. You eat healthy - congratulations! now shut the #### up.

[Zow]

A serious one - to this day and probably forever I don't understand people using their children as weapons in a divorce. It just boggles my mind. Hate your spouse and want a divorce, fine. You really need to mentally torture your 5 year old at the same time?

But doing so is helping put your kids through college.

For some people, pride is the most powerful emotion in their life. Stronger than love.

huh?

[Ned]

I don't understand grown ### men who waste their time shaving their hairline edges to create some weird, pointy futuristic hairline that looks far more ridiculous than their natural hairline.

Ooooooh, Otis is going to be pissed at this one.

 

[dschuler]

Out of shape people telling others how to diet and workout. Absolutely can not stand it.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

-I don't understand non-disabled people who take the elevator up or down 1 floor (even 2 to some extent...).

I do this a lot of the time even though I'm in good shape. I dunno what it is, I just find them comforting. I think it's from playing so much Left 4 Dead, where elevators are always a nice reprieve from the zombies.

 

[tommyboy]

doing something to a friend or acquaintance for the sole purpose of getting a rise, usually a negative reaction.

people that do this, it makes me wonder what kind of mental torture their parents gave them growing up, or if they think they're really clever.

 

[tommyboy]

leave your dip cup in another person's car for them to throw out.

that's just rude and disgusting, and I chew

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

I don't understand why people assume they can ever understand why other people do what they do.

Nice topic.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

Drive under the speed limit.

Drive in the left lane no faster than the speed limit.

I can't seem to click the "Like" button more than once. I don't understand that.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Smokers: I will never understand why it is so hard to dispose of your damn butts instead of throwing them out your car, in the parking lot, etc.. Also will never get how in this day and age somebody could still light up with a kid in the car. Still see this all the time.

People needing to buy technology right away when it comes out. This goes for the Apple nerds camping out to people having to buy the latest TVs, game consoles, etc. right away. Why would you spend so much more $ and usually end up #####ing about how buggy it is as well.

Putting fruit in beer. Sorry, if you have to do that, you are drinking a #### beer.

 

[Billy Bats]

People that insist on walking thru the door you're walking through (opposite direction) when there are 2 doors present.

People that try to get inside the elevator without waiting first for the people trying to get out of the elevator.

YES!!! I hit them with an "oh excuse me while I try and get out."

 

[Al O'Pecia]

I don't understand d-bags who put glasspacks on their car so that it sounds like the space shuttle is taking off when they drive down my residential street.

I've thrown a shoulder or two getting off the subway.

I don't know what that is, but anybody who deliberately makes their vehicle louder is a special brand of moron. Same goes for that black smoke stuff I saw in Georgia last year.

Oh yea, I'm just trying to be somewhat polite while I'm knocking them over.

I pretty much loathe other people in general. I'm kind of a #### that way.

Same thing with the train/subway. Folks be trying to bull rush their way in before letting others out. Especially at a busy stop. You know at least a dozen people are getting off. You really need to push your way on before letting a single person out?

 

[AAABatteries]

Complained about this in the pet peeves thread... People who press both the up and down button while waiting for an elevator... Happened to me again today! Just press the button for the direction you are traveling. Elevator on the way up, stops and opens, and an ####### is standing there " duhhh, is this going down? "

No moron, it isn't going down bc you pressed both up and down. If you just pressed down, it will stop on the way back down, instead you have now delayed each of us by 30 seconds, ####face!

I always say "you going up?" as soon as I see their moron face because they usually aren't.

I've never once seen anybody do this where it wasn't a mistake.

This happens to me at least twice a month... I don't understand what's so complicated about an up button and down button that people consistently make this mistake.

You do realize that frequently people will press an elevator button and then walk away, right?

 

[Mario Kart]

Have children. Why are people so selfish that need to bring another human into this world to fill a hole they have in their own life? Get a cat.

Parents just don't understand.

Of course they do. They have to get in and then stand in the doorway.

This is when being a big guy comes in handy. I have no issues clearing a path thru the blockers to let the FBG RBs get thru the line. Anyone in my way of exiting deserves what they get.

Decided to take the stairs, from 20 flights up?

I'm sure it's been said but people who don't say thank you as I wait for them to come through a door.

 

[5Rings]

Drive in the left lane no faster than the speed limit.

Fixed. The left lane isn't for driving, it's for passing.

When you are doing 85 in 65 and constantly passing, it is perfectly acceptable. If the road is empty, I completely agree.

there you go, you are golden ponyboy. key word passing. its mrs jones on her cell phone going the same speed as the semi next to her with 30 cars behind her who needs to have her licensed pulled.

speed doesn't matter. if you are passing the right lane, fine. if not, move.

 

[Christo]

I realize that we're all individuals and have varied likes, dislikes, etc. That said, this does not stop me from passing judgement on things that others do that I find dumb or wasteful.

For me, I'll never understand the need in this country to have giant houses. A lot of property I get, a lot of house on little property I'll never understand. These palaces seem to me to be huge wastes of resources and energy. What can a family of four do in a 6,000 square foot house that they can't in a 3,000 square foot house (which is still pretty big)?

For decades we survived as a nation just fine in very modest homes. What changed?

Along with the big house, spend so much on cars. I talk with people all the time whose car payment is more than my mortgage. People are throwing away hudreds of dollars each month that could be invested and drastically change their future. It's just not worth it spending a lot of money on a vehicle.

Especially in places like Chicago. I haven't owned a car since 1995. I know guys who pay for parking at home and at work. In the city that can tack on $600-800/month

Forgot their keys, decided to hit the restroom, realized the left something they needed for a meeting.......I've been the moron standing there several times after someone walked away after pressing the button. I can't explain the asking which way the elevator is traveling but don't just assume that someone standing there pressed both buttons.

Grown adults waiting in line for mediocre free food. We get crappy bagels here at work every friday and people get all excited when they arrive. If I really wanted a bagel, I'd go buy a good one. I'm not in college anymore. I can spare a few bucks.

It's amazing how much people love free stuff. Go to any Embassy Suites at 5:25 PM to watch people start to line up for free well drinks and stale bar snacks.

bro free open bar no matter how ####ty is always worth it

I understand the crappy bagel thing. But free alcohol?

 

[El Floppo]

I'm sure it's been said but people who don't say thank you as I wait for them to come through a door.

Walked into our building right behind a woman who closed the door in my face. I said something... Her angry reply was "how was I supposed to see you". I dunno... Look?

Waiting two hours in line for a free x.Where x generally has a value under 10 bucks.

Protesting.

No call no show to appointments

[Raider Nation]

stand in line 30 minutes and pay $4.50 for hot, flavored water

Standing in line for ANYTHING...

Single-Otis weighs in... (excuse the pun).

 

[msommer]

I don't get the need to drink for everything. I understand grown ups who want to tie one on for New Years or some special occasions. But it seems like people can't handle anything without a drink. Children's parties? Really? I just don't get the need to numb yourself constantly.

I particularly understand the need to numb yourself for childrens' parties.

[Sabertooth]

Out of shape people telling others how to diet and workout. Absolutely can not stand it.

Along this line of thinking. I can't really take a fat doctor seriously. I mean I'm sure they are smart and all but for #### sake, but maybe they should apply some of that knowledge.

 

[parasaurolophus]

People that throw trash out their car window.

Contractors that are super unreliable.

People that make loud noises at the gym.

Pretzel guy: And we have 18 different toppings. We have sweet glaze, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, white chocolate, fudge, M&M's, caramel dip, mint chip, chocolate chip, marshmallow, nuts, toffee nuts, coconuts, peanut butter drizzle, Oreos, sprinkles, cotton candy bits, and powdered sugar.

Michael: Is there anyway that you could do all, all of them?

Pretzel guy: The Works. You got it
