Tourists who hold up a bus filled with people during rush hour so they can ask the bus driver absolutely basic, anyone-on-the-street-would-know questions. Bonus points if you hold up the bus during the entire length of a green light and then finish your question just as it turns red.

and I mean to ask that in a vaguely condescending tone, too. The extra space/privacy can be a real help when you get claustrophobic 'cant-go'ness. As long as you're cleaning the seat after, give me one good reason why the fuck shouldn't I be allowed to?― Ce soir je dîne sur la soupe de tortue (EDB)
― Ce soir je dîne sur la soupe de tortue (EDB)
cleaning up the seat after is fine, but nobody really does that, do they? I guess I can see someone having that claustrophobia when you're in some giant bath room without dividers between the urinals, but in any other condition that strikes me as an... I don't know... issue.

I think that's likewise an aversion to touching the yucky flusher, even though it's cold metal which no bacteria can grow on.

hmmm... would that make me a disgusting savage?
xxp yeah see i was referring to being passed on the left in a middle lane while going w/the flow of traffic. otherwise that would be a pretty stupid thing for me to complain about. if the passer really feels like everybody else on the road is holding him up, well fuck 'em.

People who, getting onto a crowded subway, try to bypass the (relatively) civilized lines of people that form on either side of the door by walking straight through the middle as people are still getting off. I quite aggressively blocked a woman who did this the other day.

I saw a guy this morning get on the subway holding a regular-sized laptop with headphones attached -- like holding it open and standing with it so he could watch a movie, which appeared to be some kind of anime. I'm not sure whether I want to call him a disgusting savage or if it's more just like "First time in New York/outside your apartment?"

why anyone would just like sit there until the cars stop and the doors open
If they are a tourist they might not know which side the doors are going to open?
(NB I have never been on an American subway so I don't know if there even are doors on both sides, but British trains have doors on both sides and don't necessarily always have the platform on the same side at every station)
But yeah, anyone who doesn't at least make a reasonable show of having their act together in time to let people on = DS, agreed.

Uh, I do this, and I can promise you I finish more quickly and efficiently than people who have, like, ten items, for the simple reason that I am not a moron. Seriously, my wife and I went shopping this past Sunday and bought $150 worth of groceries. We were done and on our way out the door before the woman in the next lane who had maybe 20 items total and was half done when we started.
