Similarly, I can almost predict if the person I'm passing will speed up as I pass, based on who's driving. IYKYK.

- eye contact
- waving at me
- calling me
- smiling at me (it's like a dog baring its teeth)
- any firearm or anti-fracking literature put out by a leftist (it's all wrong!!!!)

People that stand in doorways.

People that walk across pedestrian crossings at .2 MPH on a 45 degree angle to make it take even longer.

People that park at the gas pump and go inside to do their business while playing loud music.

Had to deal with the annoying obnoxious driver over the weekend that would run up on me when I was passing in the left lane. I would bump up my CC speed a little to pass a little quicker. Change lanes back over to the right, and they would back off and get behind me. The repeat every few miles when I need to pass someone else.

We have a six lane State Hwy by our home, every time I go to grocery store I get behind some FREAKING IDIOT who thinks the best way to exit the parking lot is to cross all six lanes.

So they have to sit and sit and sit and sit and sit and sit inch up then sit and sit and sit for ALL SIX LANES to clear.

There's a redlight 100 yards down that is used to cross six lanes, but hell no why use that dumb thing

People in general seem to be pretty bad at planning driving routes

It's very rare that I'll even attempt to take a left out of a business on a busy intersection. I'll just go right and figure out a way to get going back in the correct direction (which is usually easy and actually saves time)

People who won't keep pace with the car in front of them on surface streets so other cars just continue to merge in front of them, causing me to be 4 cars further back at the next light.

I ran into a convenience store yesterday to grab a spare USB-C charger and I was in line behind one of those people that had to buy 27 different types of lotto tickets and I swear I almost snapped on the guy.


I can empathize, but from his perspective, where else and when would it be convenient for him to complete his transaction? Were you expecting him to let you go first?

The transaction itself is the absurdity

Who needs to buy 27 different type of lottery tickets. And keep in mind these idiots are usually asking stupid questions to the poor store clerk about which ones they should buy. As if the store clerk has any knowledge of which random tickets will produce a winner. These people are complete morons and waste everyone's time.

People who bitch about how much they have to do instead of doing the things they are bitching about.

Example. Coworkers who will stop to talk to someone, spend 20 mins talking about how they have so much to do before they leave to use vacation time for 2 weeks.

First, if its that big of a deal then don't take vacation time. And you just stood here for 20 mins telling me you don't have enough time. How do you not notice that all the time you spend talking with people could be used to do the shite you have to do? The company isn't going to shut down because you are not here.

And you see how people are doing shite while you talk to them? Take a hint.

Slowing to almost a stop to turn into a parking lot, for no legitimate reason.

turn signals

no lights on when dark-ish and rainy

merge on to interstate at 55 mph (like they're being "safer")

no peripheral vision in aisles. meandering to and fro in the middle half without a care in the world.

Yes, i agree. The lotto ticket buyers in gas stations will kiss me off

But mostly, how a huge majority of people have no efficiency when pumping gas or in the self check out lane in the grocery store

Per peeve of mine when someone corrects a fact and they’re wrong.

Chime in on an opinion, fine. But if you’re going to be a douche and correct someone on a fact, you can’t be wrong.

That’s every single red light in BR. Those same people also slam their brakes to stop at a yellow light.

Speaking of pumping gas, it's almost comically bad how many card readers at gas stations aren't functional. You'd think we'd have that technology pretty much perfected by now. Nope.
