Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

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.

i am having very strong feelings about phone etiquette right now, and everyone who does not meet my VERY MODEST standards is a disgusting savage imho

i do hate getting worked up over this shit but ugh i mean if you leave a voice message you should probably mention the reason for your call, maybe even consider stating your name and not slurring your speech so i have to guess your phone number

"HI MY PHONE NUMBER IS TWO ZEVENTY NINE HUNDRED TWENTY FIFTY CALL ME BACK" - a savage

otm

to be honest, i really really hate when people read long strings of digits by treating it like a sequence of 2 digit numbers, i hate it and i am extremely prejudiced against people who do it, SORRY

it's disgustingly savage

maybe should crosspost that to the irrationally angry thread

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 guy I saw wearing this shirt in public on the afternoon of the Sandy Hook shooting:

people who go out of their way to announce, "I WILL MURDER ANYONE WHO COMES BETWEEN ME AND MY CHILDREN!" are the worst people in the world.

People who think their time is more valuable than anyone else's. Still sitting here waiting for a call from a contractor for a conversation which he requested at 1:30 P.M. (the time, also per his request). He keeps shooting me emails "just a couple more minutes", "gotta finish this up". Ugh, fuck this guy.

condo board tyrants

people who, when you tell them to have a good one, reply to the effect of "have a good one what? what's a one?" dude, I just wanted you to have a good one, but you seem bent on turning it into a bad one.

haha, god I would just tell them to fuck off right there and then.

"herp derp i'm the first person who's been intelligent enough to analyze an idiom"

while we're at it, i'll add self-professed "grammar nazis"

"I support the views of National Socialism, but only within the specific arena of grammar"

It must be incredibly difficult for these people to function in society when everything has to stop and be pointed out any time somebody uses accidentally slips into the passive voice.

Uh oh, it's the Hyperbole Nazis

are there grammar brownshirts?

It's actually pronounced hyperbole, xpost.

an xpost away from glory

back to work with me...

lololol

neanderTAL

ha

people who in 2013 continue to vomit crap joke emails on everyone they've ever met

add to that people who reply all with 'lol'

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.

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.

ppl who pronounce wimbledon as WIMBLETON

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
