Yesterday at the football we ended up having to park in the street behind the BART parking lot on the other side of the coliseum, because the stadium parking lots were full (clusterfuck of the century, don't ask).
So we pulled up on a side street and ended up parkign there because there was no signage saying we couldn't, and the BART police patrolled past us a dozen times while we were there and they would have said something were this not the case.
Within 15 minutes of us pulling up there's some local dude standing on the corner with a handmade 'PARKING' sign charging people $20 to park. As we leave he starts calling out to us 'HEY YO THOSE CARS ARE GONNA GET TOWED, I CAN GET YOU PARKING" . Lo and behold we got back to our to find it not towed, not ticketed, nothing.
Parking just brings out the worst instincts in humanity.

i run on a bike path/trail that is along a windy road. serious cyclists understandably prefer to use the road. i saw a guy in a minivan slow down so a bike and another car had to go around him. the guy on the bike said "everything ok?" he didn't know what was going on because then the guy said blahblah SLOW-ASS BIKE! which means this guy was so angry about having to slow down behind the bike for 10 seconds that he purposely came to a stop, which resulted in (1) the bike being ahead of him again, and (2) the driver being even slower to reach his destination! GUH IT WAS DISGUSTING

working on a stupid group project for a class (due today), each member in my group had an assigned part to put together, which i stupidly volunteered to compile. no one has emailed me ANYTHING except for one person who did HALF of what he was supposed to because "he was working", and said "can you do this other part? i think it would sound better if you did it." seriously dude?

I mean after an ambulance has passed and there's still a line of cars pulled over onto the shoulder, some disgusting opportunists in the back of the line will immediately (& without signalling their intention) pull back onto the roadway and pass all the people in the front of the line.

Sometimes I feel like leaving a really dickish outgoing voice mail message on my work phone, something along the lines of "You have reached this number in error. The email address associated with this number is x✧@x✧.c✧✧. Please email your request." Hate receiving phone calls at work.

(the time, also per his request). He keeps shooting me emails "just a couple more minutes", "gotta finish this up". Ugh, fuck this guy.

The Student Loan Company (UK), for refusing to tell you your balance, and then having a great system where if you don't tell them your exact balance before the start of the tax year you finish paying in you'll end up overpaying by several hundred pounds and filling in a ton of paperwork (which probably also asks for numbers they won't tell you) to beg for it back.

* 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.
