Some of mine….(random order):

= Left-lane hogs….especially when they REFUSE to move-over and let someone else pass them. REPEAT: “The left lane is for PASSING, NOT “cruising” or “dawdling”.

= People that continuously hide in your blindspots while driving.

= People that are TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS to others around them….especially when driving, talking on a phone, in stores and other “public” areas.

= People that don’t clean up after themselves in a “public” area.

= Litterbugs. A few days ago, while waiting to turn left at a traffic light, I actually saw someone that was maybe 3 cars behind me open their driver’s window and throw out a wrapper/slip of paper on to the ground. If I wasn’t so far ahead of him, I probably would have stopped, gotten out and returned the paper he “accidentally dropped”….or taped it to his windshield. FRACKING MORON. NO EXCUSE.

= People that cause car door-dings. Sometimes it is unintentional (ie, sudden gust of wind, etc), but often times it is just pure CARELESSNESS. Please be more careful. Nobody likes door-dings….except the body shops.

= People that leave shopping carts IN THE WAY of others….the worst offenders are the ones that place it directly behind someone else’s car (so the other person cannot leave their parking space without having to remove the shopping cart first) after they are done unloading it and they just leave it there. WTH??!! Next in line are the ones that leave them in the gap between parking spaces, but place it so it would block someone from opening their car door after parking….or trying to get back into their car when coming out of the store.

= People that make no attempt whatsoever to control their children and allow them to run amok and make all kinds of noise and display other inappropriate types of behavior in “public” areas.

= People that deem various stores/places of business to be “playgrounds” for their children…..and then don’t even clean-up afterwards…..or buy anything.

= People that change their minds about buying something (which is fine), and just simply “abandon” the item in some random location…..especially PERISHABLE food items. PUT IT BACK, or give it to the clerk at the register. WTH??!!

= People that “sample” fruits and other items in grocery store produce areas where it is NOT acceptable to do that (unlike in some “farmer’s market” types of stores where that practice might be encouraged). Scenario: “Those 3 grapes and strawberries you just removed and snacked on from out of those pre-packaged/pre-portioned/pre-weighed packages (or even if they are in “open”/bulk containers) means that whomever is going to buy those packages just got RIPPED OFF. It is called STEALING/THEFT. Besides, many of those fresh fruits still have pesticide/chemical residues and other pathogens (aka “germs”) still on them.

= People that open packages in stores to see/”touch” what is inside, but then fail to put everything back….or completely “destroy” the packaging. WTH??!!

= People that unnecessarily BLOCK aisles and other passageways. Move to the SIDE, or conduct your meeting somewhere else, please.

= People (especially women) that are unaware of the protrusion of their purses/bags/etc and walk-around bashing other people with them.

= Families/groups of people that insist on “stringing out” ACROSS the width of an aisle or a pathway so that nobody can pass them.

= People that are rude to or treat “servicepersons” like “dirt”.

= People that don’t even acknowledge you or say “thank you” when you hold a door or elevator open for them.

= People that block elevator/escalator/door areas.

= People that fail to motion or other advise you that they are NOT leaving their parking space while you are waiting for them to presumedly leave.

= People that fail to **COMPLETELY** STOP at STOP SIGNS and RED LIGHTS before proceeding….and BEHIND the LIMIT lines.

= People that fail to observe the proper procedures for STOP SIGN “right-of-way” protocol and that “go” when they are NOT supposed to, and conversely, “don’t go” when they ARE supposed to. ~sigh~

= People that back out of parking spaces without LOOKING.

= People that open car doors without LOOKING.

= People that INSIST on walking DIRECTLY behind you when you are obviously backing out of a parking space.

= People that totally CROWD you while standing in line.

= People that leave a HUGE gap between their car and the one in front of them when parked in a line or at a traffic signal….or to the edge of the crosswalk/street/limit line.

= People that become clueless when encountering a traffic circle.

= People that SUDDENLY STOP in the middle of the road/freeway because they are about to “miss their turnoff”. HELLO….move forward and work your way back at the next street/exit. It’s not the end of the world if you miss your turn, but it might be the end of your life or of some innocent persons’ when you do that braindead stunt.

= People that STOP at YIELD signs when there is no oncoming traffic….or if there is an obvious lane for merging.

= People that try to merge on to the freeway at 45mph (when there is no traffic congestion)….or that STOP.

People that go 65mph (or LESS) in the freeway car pool lane….when there is no traffic congestion ahead of them. If they want to go that slowly, then just go drive in the REGULAR lanes, please.

= FRACKING door-to-door salespersons, religious/political/charitable groups, etc that INSIST on knocking on your door trying to get you to buy-in to their product/organization….especially when you already have a NO SOLICITING sign.

= Cigarette smoke (even in outdoor settings). I don’t want to breathe that toxic mix of gases and chemicals. Why should I be subjected to it?? If I wanted to pollute my body and kill my cells with that stuff I would be smoking myself. “How about if I come and spray some toxic/offensive chemicals over in your area/in your face too…..”

= People that smoke and randomly flick their cigarette butts wherever they want to, instead of finding a proper trash can/waste receptacle.

= People that smoke and fail to properly EXTINGUISH their cigarette butts.

= Rude/indifferent employees that either lie/make stuff up, or are too lazy to give you a proper answer to your inquiry. I don’t expect everyone to know everything, but I do expect you to GO FIND OUT the answer from someone/somewhere else that does know.

= Idiotic TSA “security theatre”.

Basically, it just bothers me when some people live within their own little bubbles and are inconsiderate and rude to others that have to share the same space with them.

Phew…..I guess I won’t be needing any therapy sessions for awhile at least. I feel much better. Thanks!! LOL.
