it’s always irrationally annoyed me that it’s the Sewerage and Water Board. Just sounds stupid

When growing up there, we always heard it as the surging water board. I still laugh about that no matter how it is said.

People just milling around not realizing people behind them have other flights to catch.

Rinse and repeat in SFO, ORD, LGA, EWR, ORD, IAD, DEN, etc. Slack jawed M/Fers. If I need to consult a map, anywhere, I GTFO of the way, and stand behind a column or a wall, so I'm out of the way.

Y'all dipshits have been on your phones since before the wheels hit the ground, but then you have to stop as soon as you get off the plane to stare up at the transfer board? Die in a fire. Flying from the US via Frankfurt? Landing in Terminal Z. know which terminal you're supposed to connect at, and don't stop moving until you hit that concourse. LHR: all objectives are get the hell out of T5. Next steps come next, not in front of the arrival gate.

I give grace to the dumbasses on sub 4 hour flights that honestly don't know you can put 90% of your shite in your bag before you descend below 10k, and only have to shove two items in your bag after you're parked. Screw the people that build apartments of crap on a flight, then stick their asses in the aisle, trying to find random water bottles, etc. I've seen 20 year old military spouses with toddlers move faster than you at 3AM.

What tests my patience the least? A single parent with a stroller in Pre Check. Lady/dude, I know that switch to collapse it worked real well the last 70 times you've hit it, and now is when it fails. I feel ya. I'll just offer to hold something if it's not creepy. You're good.

For me, it’s got to be sitting on a plane and watching all of the disorganized people fumble with all of their shite they are holding like an octopus take fricking forever to just get up, grab their bag, and get off the plane

The entitled people in first class seem to be the worst about this.

I'm usually in the first-second row behind them. Still get free drinks and includes a checked bag, and typically only adds the cost of about what it would take to check a bag round trip anyway.

Pretty much anyone using my time to solve a problem they could figure out on their own.

Nissan Altima and they drivahs

No lie, I bought an older Altima for my daughter to drive back and forth to school and while it a reliable car, if I have to drive it, I suddenly start driving like an idiot. I don't drive like that in my truck.

Waiting in a check out line while someone pays for different items with several different cards

Waiting on my wife to get ready to go somewhere. If it’s somewhere she needs to be she will be ready on time. If it’s somewhere I want to be she will be 30 min late but get pissy if I rush her

It is so damn inconvenient being forced to use the front door and walk around to where my vehicles are parked in this heat.

I hope you’re ok having to deal with this adversity. I bet you just literally can’t even…

Drivers who act like every intersection is a death trap and make every turn in slow motion. Who wait at least a minute after the light changes to go forward and stop a half block away on a yellow light. They sometimes come in packs and I’m half crazy by the time I get where I’m going.

Lack of golf course etiquette and slow play
