People who reverse park knowing they’re making others wait.

LOL You're getting downvotes from a bunch of big rig fantasy camp dudes.

The F-250 you drive to your office job is not a "rig." Pull into the spot like everyone else.

These always make me think of a dog dragging his arse along the carpet of the living room.

Driving with my toddler and looking over at some idiot texting on the interstate. And people who stop at roundabouts.

I don’t waste my time on fat people. They are terminally ill and any negotiation with them is a waste of time. Diabetes will win.

Had an incident this morning running my kid to school. Luckily she was in the lane next to me. Light turns green, my lane starts going, she's sitting there looking at her phone while the car in front of her is 100 yds down the road. Somebody honks and she makes the light but probably 3-4 other cars didn't because of her

ETA 3. People who interject comments about how both sides are crooks or "muh elites" into every political discussion. Yeeeah, if you think that's a hot take (or even true anymore) you have poor analytical abilities.

Opposed to either side just repeating the same argument over and over?

You put two ultras together, one from each side, and you are not going to get some intelligent discussion. You will have two idiots just repeating their side's platform to each other.

And overall, both sides are crooks. Are their "good" politicians? Sure, some are not as bad as others and then you have a few who actually want to serve the people they represent, but they are sprinkled in few and far between.

Also, I know you are not naïve enough to think that most of them are self serving assholes. A young politician can have all the good intentions in the world, but once you have a position of power and your vote.. your actions are able to influence the best interest (or go against the best interest) of an organization with deep pockets and all of a sudden they start lobbying you and throwing perks your way... In order to keep those perks coming you have to make some decisions that goes against what you actually believe in.

And that happens from local government on up.

People on their phones at red lights

Yep. Pisses me off so much. If I can see they are on their phone they get a half second before I honk.

---

The ones that get me are the ones that throw their hands up in the air at you and look in the mirror all crazy at you. Nevermind the fact that they're being completely fricking selfish. You're the unreasonable one who expects their focus to be on driving and not TikTok. You need to just back off and give them the extra ten seconds to finish that text or watch that video.

The first car in line at a stop light. 90% of the time they start looking at their phone when the light is red. Then they miss the switch to green and sit there until someone (usually me) has to honk at them to go. I've been behind cars that do this at every stop light they come to. Of course after you honk at them they speed off as fast as they can.

---

You have to wonder how much this contributes to overall traffic? It's certainly not a small percentage of people either. Look around you at a red light and like 50% of people will be looking at their phone.

My husband has started making fun of my fury when I see a lemon or satsuma tree with tons of fruit that the homeowner is not picking. I recently plotted to rob a neighbor of his kumquats. It is irrational, I freely admit.

Don't come to my house

I have a meyer lemon tree, satsumas, navel oranges, kumquats, a massive grapefruit tree, and persimmons. All unpicked. I signed up for BR Green to come pick them all during their "Great Pick Event" 12/10, where they donate it all to the food bank, if that helps.

I just have no use for ungodly amounts of fruit, and I wasn't the person that planted them.
