Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

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

oh man that reminds me

• smokers who don't exhale after their last drag before walking indoors

-smokers

well yeah

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.

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.

"Oh my! Uh-uh!"

Oops, I meant "Uh-oh!" not "uh-uh." She said it in a treacly, condescending way, like I was a 4 year old.

FORTUNATELY FOR BOTH OF US, we get on and off at the same bus stops each day so we'll get to enjoy each other in the future. a;dksjf

This was in Chicago, not London.

Chicago, the London of America.

People who open toilet windows when it's snowing outside.

I don't care how much your shit stinks, that's just indefensible.

you'd rather smell shit than breathe in fresh air?

People who aren't eligible to use the carpool lane using the carpool lane.

you'd rather smell shit than breathe in fresh air?

Ideally neither but the former is preferable to turning the cubicle into an icebox.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually queue up at a London bus stop.

Thinking about it that would be logistically extremely difficult at a lot of them. The bus stop at Victoria where I take the bus to work serves about 7 different routes, which presumably would necessitate 7 different queues.

indeed, plus the lottery of where the bus will actually pull up - often behind one or two others arriving at the same time so everyone has to walk down several metres anyway.

you definitely get proper queues for certain commuter-heavy bus routes outside train stations in the morning.
