My brief rant of things that bother me

[TheFunkMonkey]

While in the gym:

1) People who hold the rails on the treadmill. What does that possibly accomplish? In the "real" world, when do you ever walk/run while holding on to a stationary object? Counter-productive, to say the least (and it looks ridiculous).

2) People who sit on the same machine for 20-25 minutes. They do a set, sit there for 5 minutes, do another set. Rule of thumb when you're in the gym. Shit or get off the pot!

3) People who change the TV channel without asking. Then they change to something horrible, like reruns of the Steve Harvey Show. Hey, no problem. Not like I was watching CNN, ESPN, Headline News, etc.

4) People who turn on EVERY fan in the gym. Even though the gym is already air-conditioned? Guess what, you're EXERCISING. You're supposed to sweat!

Feels great to get a nice sweat, then you've got multiple fans giving you the chills.

Of course, it is usually the fat-asses who turn on the fans. They never build a sweat, so they don't realize how uncomfortable the cold air is.

This is good. I need to vent.

In general, people who have no awareness.

Example 1. People who stand at the salad bar, vending machine, etc. And they stare into oblivion for 1-2 minutes. They don't realize other people are waiting? Dammit, make up your mind!

Example 2. People in the grocery store, who decide to pull u-turns in the aisle. Even though there are people right behind them. I'm asking all of you to take a stand against this nonsense. Don't move out of the way. Make them continue to the end of the aisle!

The military has their act together. The aisles in most commissaries are one-way. You get your stuff from the aisle, you keep moving in the same direction.

Example 3. People who stand in doorways/halls and prevent other people from passing. In this situation, I believe it is acceptable to lower your shoulder and nudge them out of the way.

Follow-up to #3. People who change the channel when you've got money on the game. Always fun to say something like "Dude, I've got two grand on that game!"

Whether or not you actually bet two grand, doesn't really matter.

rap music

saggy pants

affirmative action

my mother in law

stiffs

Strong list here.

I'll add - the moron who buys the scratch-off lottery tix and feels compelled to scratch them off at the counter, tying up the line. This includes the losers who play the Daily 3-4 numbers and can't fill out the bet slip. They would rather tell the clerk their 20 numbers and have them punch them in.

Stupid People

People that keep me to long on the phone. say what you got to say and hang the fugg up.

People that stare.

2 cent fags - those people that always have two cents to throw in on any topic.

Tease beyotches - just give it up already, we both know you intend to. you aint fooling anyone.

Attention whores and drama queen kill me.

I like the way you think.



Whenever I encounter something like this I just stop and stare. Then they notice me staring and move out of the way. I wonder if they feel stupid that they made someone stop because they are in the way. Probably not. They probably figure if they are in someone's way the person will say "excuse me" and THEN they can move.

posters that do not use the search function...when i decide to post an article i always copy/paste a name from article and search it first..so simple to do

 

[fivestarjake]

people who post hot famous girls in avatars claiming they went to high school with them.:howdy:

 

[BadCo]

This may sound strange but how about people that go through a door ahead of you an feel compelled to hold it open for you?

I know their being nice but I've gotten threw the door on my own before,just keep the fuck going and lets both get to where were going.

Because this is a pet peeve if I know some one is behind me I go through the door just barley opening and go like hell.


That and when returning to work from vacation and everyone has to ask "how was vacation".

 

[barman]

- people who wash their hands. Seriously, you are that f*ing lazy that you can't flush after pissing? Just disgusting and often stinks. Scumbags.

No need to wash your hands unless you get piss on them.

Learn how to handle your Unit and you'll have no problem.

Tell 'em you used the week to sit in county jail to help resolve "an old sentence".

Then leer.

Or giggle.

Shuts 'em up every time.

In my office, there are a few people who use the paper seat-covers in the bathroom. Then they leave them on the toilet! WTF? So they're so worried about germs and hygiene, but they have no problem leaving their used covers on the toilet for somebody else to throw away?

Waiting for the day I catch one of them walking out. I plan to grab the cover, follow them to their desk, and then be like "Oh, I think you misplaced this."

Same goes for drivers who toss their cigs out the window. Selfish bastards.

that too, lazy scumbags is all they are. Unfortunately I haven't been able to catch the lazy motherf*ers that don't flush after pissing, they will get an earful when I do.

Similarly, drives my wife absolutely nuts when there are two entry/exit doors and we get to the door first as someone else is coming in the other direction. We open the door intending to walk through and they just blow right through all the while having their own door and it is patently obvious we aren't holding the door for them.

 

[Degenerate]

People who swear in front of young kids. Seriously need to have their ass kicked.
People who walk slowly at a angle across a parking lot instead of directly across making cars wait behind them.
People who drive to slow in the left lane.
People who tailgate in the right lane.
People who don't tip.
People who play real slow at a $5 or less buy in tourney. Gimme a break, this isn't a WPT final table. Decide already!
People who whine about other people complaining. Hello, makes you a hypocrite which is worse!

:nopityA:

 

[YYZ]

I agree with the whole elevator thing. Where are these people GOING? Is it THAT important to push through all the people exiting so you can get in and just stand there? Also:

-Waiters who can't leave the right denominations in change. Bill is $28. $40 gets me a 10 and two singles in change. What is the toke? $2? $10? Same the other way. Bill is $63. $80 gets me a 5 and 12 singles. (Although I think the first is worse).

-People who stop at a red light in the right lane with no other traffic around. I am trying to turn right asshole.

-People who walk on the wrong side of the hall and/or stairs. I am walking down the stairs on the right side and someone is walking up on the left and they stop in front of me staring at me expecting ME to move out of the way.

 

[lifexpired]

- People who don't say thank you or smile, even if they don't mean it

totally disagree with you, what's society's fascination with everybody having to be "friendly" (fake) when they really are in no mood to. the world is a beautiful place, the lack of humanity is what kills it...and when people are always on an act, being chipper to randoms, being "happy", it falsifies reality to the point where humanity just becomes an empty term. im mean i agree that everybody should try to be happy and chipper, but if they arent, by all means act mad/sad and show it on your face, ill have a lot more respect for a person who isn't afraid to display their true emotions regardless of how it may be looked upon by society.

id rather have everybody wear their heart on their sleeve and act as they will, no matter how society deems your behavior to be. this is why i love people on the east coast so much more than people here on the west coast. its much more simple and straightforward out east, if somebody doesnt like you, you'll know, vice versa, and they'll likely be loyal and have your back for life. out here on most of the west coast, it seems like people have developed plastic hearts and minds and lack the security to be themselves (if that means being a "dick", so be it).

seems like you are often in a rush or hurry...agree with #1, not the ass kicking part, but people should be more aware when they are around impressionable young children...

 

[aceduecetrey]

People who wait for me to get in my car and leave my parking space instead of just parking in the open spots that may be 20 feet furthur away from the door....
