If I get in a lift and there's nobody else in there I will stab the door open button until there is. Having a lift to yourself is a wasteful luxury.
(I'd take the stairs but it's 5 floors)

(actually I'm not sure that's true. One of them certainly has radio 3 in it, because I can hear it from my desk, but I think the others are 1, 2 and 1xtra)

Cinema-goers who laugh at every single line of dialogue in the film, whether it's funny or not. I feel I've brought this subject up here before but anyway it bears repeating.

I know I'm old in disclosing but young people doing all the same poses when having their pics taken. The insta-pose is urghhhhh. I never liked posing for pics or people doing it.

Lol, recently had a vacation to Hawaii, and was struck by how every single beach visit featured youths spending their entire beach time doing elaborate selfie sessions.

I hit the door close button. I get mad at the people who hold the elevator for people who are still 7-10 seconds away when we are in a large elevator bank during rush hour.

xpost I lived briefly near a beach in hawaii that was an extremely popular wedding photo spot. I would go out swimming and after 10 minutes see one huge wedding dress, then 3, then 5. They just kept multiplying.

xpost, I still really want to know why so many people take selfies while in the driver's seat of a car.

If you have a phone mount, it's pretty easy, I guess

Oh and re instagram: stop photoshopping yourself! Recently I saw a pic of my nail tech. She appeared to be half her size. Slim. It was a really bad photoshop: you could see curved lines which shld have been straight. Just stop it. So wrong. And while I'm at it: it's very rude just to start filming/taking pics of people. Ask before you do. Urgh. Recently a client kept following me trying to take a selfie (w me in it). FU woman.

Im both a door close button pusher and a door holder, tho i think im reasonable on durations. I can imagine being annoyed (and wrong) at the latter. I dont even get the former.

If it's a car phone mount, this halfway makes the most sense (I don't regularly drive, it never occurred to me). I couldn't decide if it was better or worse than taking a selfie in a bathroom. (I also don't ever take selfies of myself alone, so even though it's totally commonplace it's something I don't think I will ever understand).

Have we done ‘people who use their speakerphone in public’?
I think it’s got worse since FaceTime appeared and Apple makes it hard to do FaceTime audio only or switch to audio only if you get a video call.

on her front porch at 8.30am having a speakerphone conversation that was so loud I could hear both sides of the convo inside my house with the windows closed.
and it wasn't even an argument! just chatting with someone about meeting them for coffee ffs
