Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

drivers who move to the right lane about half a mile before reaching their exit and tailgate whatever cars they encounter in that lane because they can't bear to go less than 80 mph for the last 30 seconds before they get off the highway

That, and the ones who do the same thing when there's a split ahead and the slower drivers kinda hafta to get in the left lane.

People who crack their knuckles

I'm watching the latest Survivor where one perp has been observed doing it multiple times

It's always done with a self-consciously nonchalant expression too

I had some KID get all huffy at me the other day during rush hour. I was on a crowded ramp merging on to another crowded ramp that was about to merge on to the highway.

The "rule of thumb" here is let one in and then keep on going. Otherwise, traffic will be backed up on the secondary ramp until 7 pm, causing jams across the city. Likewise, if the main interstate was to not allow anyone to merge, then the main ramp would remain backed up as well.

But this KID didn't want to hear about any "rules of thumb." He didn't see why he should have to give up the space in front of him to someone coming off a secondary ramp, so he kept zooming up to an inch from the bumper in front of him. Eh, I still cut him off, and he angrily points to the Yield sign in my lane.

Was he in the right? Yeah, technically. But fuck 'em. Kid needs to learn some manners. He sure as hell didn't mind taking a spot from someone giving way to mergers on the interstate.

I didn't know Survivor was still on the air!

people who instead of asking for an orange juice, call it a 'fresh orange'

here's your glass of tropicana

museum visitors

People who make the alarming amount of Family Guy and Simpsons porn.

people who don't turn off the default feedback 'noises' on their devices

douchebag using your phone as a phone to conduct the least important biz conceptualization session on crowded rail, 3 feet from my face: ok, 5 mins if it's your boss or something, 10 minutes if you want to get macheteed in the neck, but you jacked off on phone for 35 minutes, i hope all your empty, shitty aspirations die in fires.

neighbor (compulsively?) hoses down his truck every day. whatever, fine. he's doing it right now but it's been raining nonstop for over 12 hours. wtf.

Getting rid of DNA evidence?

people who dip their mozzarella sticks in...raspberry sauce? i never knew this was a thing until i moved to upstate NY

fruit and cheese are a combo as old as time

seem to remember my friend telling me about that particular delicacy (he went to college in albany)

jus haf to be kiddink

i am from there and have never heard of this but intrigued

Action Bronson, in a stoned haze, made grilled octopus with raspberry sauce (on Fuck That's Delicious), and people seemed to like it? Maybe they were just kissing his ass...

Probably could have skipped "in a stoned haze" in that sentence, as it's implicit.

fruit and cheese are a combo as old as time

― harold melvin and the bluetones (jim in vancouver)

froot and cheez, however, is a much more contemporary combo

people who request a read receipt on every email they send. worse than scum

Don't think "savages" is accurate but I'm astounded there is an audience for Last Tango In Halifax that has kept it going for years. There's so much apparently mainstream entertainment that feels like a particularly tough arthouse endurance test.

...

Have to say that's one of the more leftfield suggestions itt

Once read a bookseller complaining about the condition he finds books in. Like books with their hardback covers broken in pieces, books that look like they've been purposefully tortured.
When I buy discs I tend to buy new copies unless they're too expensive or unavailable, but sometimes I get a "very good" condition disc that looks like it's been used as a food dish or the greasiest children on earth have handled it carelessly hundreds of times.

Once bought a second hand Dreamcast that was covered in food stains and had an Iron Maiden CD left inside that looked unplayable because of the scratches it had.

Hackers have infected every public computer in the St. Louis Public Library system, stopping all book borrowing and cutting off internet access to those who rely on it for computers.

The computer system was hit by ransomware, a particularly nasty type of computer virus that encrypts computer files.

This form of attack renders computers unusable -- unless victims are willing to pay an extortion fee and obtain a key to unlock the machines.

According to the library, hackers demanded $35,000 in the electronic currency Bitcoin -- but the library refuses to pay. Instead, it'll wipe the entire computer system and reset it, which could take days or weeks.

The cyberattack hit 700 computers at all of the city's 16 library branches, according to spokeswoman Jen Hatton.

assholes!

Lol. Lettuce and burgers visually reminds me of what Gremlins look like...can't go near that.

People who use Twitter. Or ilm.

In the balcony for last night's Sunday in the Park with George ($59), some geezer in the next section chose the climactic Act I duet "We Do Not Belong Together" as his cue to *yell* at the woman behind him "YOU KEEP HITTING THE BACK OF MY CHAIR!" I need to be declared king of something so I can command private performances of everything.

Also some woman behind me was doing the wrestling-with-a-plastic-snack-bag thing for much of Act II. Wish I had my Luger.

I think snack bag ppl need own circle of hell with most vicious demons really, my fam thinks there's something with ME.

wrong with me

doing it in a cinema is bad enough, but a Sondheim musical on Broadway? and of course ruining everyone's night by screaming in a non-medical-emergency situation... Sartre was right.

cucumbers are trash

those who don't break down boxes before putting them in the shared recycling bin

People who use a car horn as a way to indicate to their children where they're parked. Ends up giving pedestrians a shock, can't they just use text or call out?

Anybody who uses a horn for anything other than the following purposes:
1. An actual emergency, serious for real life and limb shit
2. Forcing an ignorant driver to realize they are not alone (i.e. "Stop backing up" or "It's green now")
3. Some kind of collective car horn choir performance like sometimes happens in tunnels when people are feeling silly
4. Being childish (or being an actual child) during a test drive around the parking lot while car shopping

And #2 is just barely permissible imo; city life has finally made me realize it's common practice, but discretion must be exercised.

otm

recently saw someone honking at a minibus as it not-especially-slowly took on passengers from a nursing home, now that's some savagery right there

2. Forcing an ignorant driver to realize they are not alone (i.e. "Stop backing up" or "It's green now")

"stop backing up because I'm behind you and you're getting p. close now" = yes
"it's been green for a few seconds (perhaps you have not noticed a filter light)" = eh maybe a tiny tap on the horn
"it's been green for 0.0001s and I am a massive boy-racer dick" = fuck yooooou

Yes

Wish cars had a smaller, friendlier sounding sort of bicycle horn option meaning the above things, e.g. hey I'm over here, the light has changed etc.

Some people are supersensitive and reactive abt horn honking, personally I'm grateful for this kinds of heads-up but have been flipped off for trying to give it to others

also: people driving way under the speed limit on single-lane road who upon getting (legally and safely) passed get their panties in a bunch

erm by single-lane I mean two-way road with dashed line

In my driver's manual, there was some suggested rule about honking your horn before passing another driver, to alert them that you were about to overtake them.

Which, in theory, may sound like a good idea, but ...

No, that's not a good idea anywhere, unless a meteor or a volcano has blacked out the sun, every lightbulb in the world has been destroyed and they can't make any more, and the car you are driving that needs to pass the other car is an ambulance.

imo only two permissible horn sounds should be La Cucaracha and "chinga tu madre cabrón"

the my brother my brother & me podcast proposed a three horn system

regular hey dipshit horn for get out of the way, watch where you're goin

neutral/special occasion horn for non-traffic related things, celebrating sports team wins etc

great job horn for dope traffic maneuvers, narrow-misses, perfectly executed parallel parking & ppl driving the same car as you

i only recognise horns for ppl driving the same car as you, this is important information to celebrate, the rest can gtf and indeed eat my fuc
