Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

that is truly disgusting

they are simpledons

returning to the common theme of public transport: people at bus stops who, rather than waiting for departing passengers to alight from an arriving bus, try to bum rush their way on the instant that the doors open.

I walk right through those cunts. They are among many irritations that I fear will get me beaten up at some point.

On our transit, people are supposed to exit buses by the rear doors. If they try to exit from the front and get run into by people getting on the bus, it is THEY who are the savages, I submit to you.

* bicyclists who make it a point to antagonize pedestrians needlessly. Yesterday I was biking home through the park and ended up behind a couple of jumped-up riders (in spandex and fancy gear and all that - these weren't your Portlandia gutter-bike psycho types) who, rather than just veer out of the way a little at crosswalks, or slow down a bit, would wave their arms and make dog-barking noises at people crossing. This is in Central Park, where there are in fact red lights at crosswalks for the bicycle route, so the people crossing absolutely have the right-of-way. I tried to yell out something like "You know, they do have the red light and you could just head off behind them so they're not even in your way, that's not really necessary" but it's tough to project and be understood when you're pedaling uphill.

also when you're talking to a bad dog

• people who don't use cruise control on the highway
• people who fucking park/stand right in front of the grocery store in the loading zone when they/their spouse is shopping

that reminds me: yesterday at the store this older guy was there shopping with his wife. Every aisle, every part of the store, he would stand *in the middle of the aisle*, dead still, staring off into space waiting for his wife to come back with whatever she was getting. Like, not standing off to the side, but always is if his brain stem got disconnected mid-walk. I was about ready to shove him by the end of my shopping trip. Like, ram him with the cart "MOOOVE"
just so rude and oblivious

people's lack of spatial awareness in and around the grocery store is just such a disgusting, savage thing

oh

• people who won't venture 75 feet out of their way to return their fucking carts to the cart return

• people who don't use cruise control on the highway

this rather presumes that every vehicle has cruise control. not a sound assumption.

p much all newer cars do is my understanding, yeah if you're driving a jalopy maybe for your own safety you shouldn't be going 65 and then suddenly deciding you want to go 80, then when you're in front of me decide you wanna go 65 again

If i'm doing 65 on a freeway and I come up to someone who is only a bit slower, I will move out to pass that person and simultaneously speed up as I pass them. I have found that if I pass another car going only 2 mph faster than they are, the driver of the other car unconsciously speeds up as I pull abreast and then we form a solid phalanx and other cars who want to go 75 can't get by. If I then speed up, but only a bit, the other driver is going to continue to pace with me, because they are only driving with a fraction of their attention.

It makes far more sense to me to speed up, pull out to pass, get well beyond the slower car, then pull back right and resume my desired speed. Which is not disgusting savagery in my opinion, but then, every driver thinks his or her way is the most excellent way ever devised.

if you're going faster than that car to begin with then it's not a problem

our car is four years old and doesn't have cruise control

Most uk cars don't have cruise control.

The one time I had a hire car with cruise control I couldn't figure it out, I pressed the button but nothing happened.

Lol 80

another driving one and another grocery store one!

• people who don't return their carts to the cart return (seriously what the fuck is wrong with these monsters?)
• people who don't use their turn signal when they drive

cruise control is for suckas

if you wanna complain about ppl not maintaining a constant speed, then do so

well sure

oh i see i added the shopping cart thing last time. really though, that fills me with such rage

-smokers who leave their disgusting butts on the ground WHEN THEY HAVE TO PASS RIGHT BY AN ASHTRAY TO GET BACK INTO THE BUILDING

oh man that reminds me

-smokers

well yeah

This ^^^^

Also, drivers in parking lots who speed and don't yield right of way to passengers. I almost got hit leaving the grocery store on foot the other day and when I gave the driver the stink-eye he rolled down his window and yelled "I didn't have a stop sign!" Yeah, that's because you're in a parking lot and required by law to stop for any crossing pedestrians.

well yeah

Generally, yes, but during rush hours, the bus is often too crowded for exiting from the rear to make sense. Maybe that's taken for granted, but maybe not.

I haven't observed it at my new building, but where I used to work, people habitually lit their cigarettes while in the revolving doors, so entering the door was stepping into a small, smoke-filled chamber. One serial offender worked in the post office in the building and I really wanted to complain to her supervisor, but she works at the post office so that's probably punishment enough.

They do that in my building as well. Urge to kill rising . . .

This one woman, every morning, jumps the line for the bus. There is a clearly formed line and she walks past it and waits next to the very first person in it. She seems not to notice.

So I said something to her and she said, "Oh my! Uh-uh!" And laughed.

^ this sounds like the public transport equivalent of people who drive in the breakdown lane. savagely disgusting

Is this in London? Trouble is you can't do anything about it, since jumping queues was decriminalised a few years back, mostly on the grounds that jumping queues was unenforceable.

Now when it happens I just think: "OK, you obviously want to get to your crappy office/shop/bedsit so desperately, go ahead, and you'll end up like me in the stroke unit in 20 years."

oh my. uh-uh! hahaha

xp: omg that's savage! what je55e is describing almost never happens in the states. the woman he's describing is extremely brash and outside of the norms by doing this. I don't think that queue-jumping would even be a crime here because like, who the fuck would even do that. and you're saying it was such a problem in London that at some point it was a law and that basically everyone in london flaunted that law?

cashiers who haven't learned how to process refunds

(xp) basically, yes. But London is full of arrogant people who think they own the place (otherwise they most likely wouldn't be in London in the first place) and so they had to have a law. Doesn't happen with bus queues in Glasgow and they are usually way longer.

if that woman tried to edge in front of me i don't know if i would be able to resist elbowing her in the boob, i'm not a violent person but i am stubborn

On the NYC subway there's the thing where most people kind of form queue-ish groups on either side of the door to wait for the passengers to get off, but then there's always the one person who tries to get a little edge by just barreling through the middle while everyone is waiting on the side. I mean, it's hard not to be a bit savage on a rush-hour subway, but come on.

"DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

"Is there a neurologist in the queue? Lady here has amnesia, doesn't know who she is."

People who wait in line for the ATM but don't take their wallet out of their pocket/bag and their card out of their wallet until they are actually standing right in front of it.

those ppl are probably paranoid about having it snatched out of their hand, imo.

Yeah, I definitely don't hang out with my wallet/ATM card in my greasy little paws, all enticing and easily snatchable.

HOWEVER I bet we can all agree that people who are waiting in line to get on the bus and don't get their fare cards out until they reach the fare box are disgusting savages indeed.

otm

Or people who don't bother checking that there's any credit left on their Oyster card before getting on the bus and wondering why it won't work.

People who don't use auto top-up are the most disgusting of all.
