neutral/special occasion horn for non-traffic related things, celebrating sports team wins etc
as long as this one is silent I'm on board
hate it when some shitty football team wins a shitty football match and then for the rest of the day you have to hear that stupid honking pattern over and over again, it is suddenly ok for drunks to wander round the streets from 4pm until 4am bellowing incomprehensibly at strangers, etc
I hate fun but also hearing any sound not entirely of my own choosing, except maybe birdsong, but only after I've got out of bed in the morning

There is this—I hesitate to call it a group of people—it's more of a mentality, I can't pin it down.
Someone is exiting a shop, house, or other structure just as I'm walking past. They see me, bustle hard to get in front of me on the sidewalk, then slow the fuck down immediately and sort of waver across the sidewalk like a drunk.. I'm a fast and purposeful walker and this makes me deeply annoyed. Why can't you possibly just perceive the rate at which I'm walking and decide to hang the fuck back for one second in the doorway? Do you:
A) Have some inbuilt shitbag mentality where "getting ahead" literally means "getting ahead"B) Have some sort of cognitive deficiency as far as perceiving the velocity and trajectory of objects in motionC) Struggle to not be a parasite.

Aston Martin drivers who feel their car is too flash for a regular parking space in Sainsbury's, and so take up the whole of the paved motorcycle parking area.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 16 July 2017 06:55 (eight years ago)
my version of fields of salmon's is, when biking, idiot hotdog bicyclists who pass me in order to run a red light, but then in the next straightaway I get stuck behind them because when they're not doing reckless stupid things they are slowwww, so now I have to pass them. repeat at next red light.

basically at this point the most ubiquitous and galling savagery consists of being thoughtlessly in the way. living in nyc seems to consist of just endless variations on this theme per day.

one time in the office, one of our seasonal contractors basically jogged around me on the right to get to the cafeteria, and muttered (without looking back) "psst, slow traffic keep right"

Every motherfucker who makes sudden mid-block u-turns on my busy residential street, usually just bc they don't feel like going all the way around a block. This is some kind of Queens thing, I see it all the time here.

― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 16 September 2017 04:08 (eight years ago)
inexcusable except for possible excuse: could it be that given the over-ear positioning of the headphones, the wearer is not and has not ever been aware of the existence of flashing light?

they roll around on the floor all the time, you just wash all the dirt and lint off their clothes

Nah, the 3yo insists on everyone taking their shoes off when they come in (often quite... angrily), but doesn't clean the floor herself. And, indeed, contributes extensively to its uncleanliness.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 14:50 (eight years ago)
when I was a 3 year old i insisted all my friends keep their shoes on and if their shoes weren't sufficiently muddy, made them go outside and dirty them up first

People who reach over/under/around the sneeze guard at e.g. Chipotle in order to point at what they want (disgusting savageness increases in direct proportion to the distance between their hand and the food). For extra tall folks, leaning their head WAAY over the sneeze guard earns the same yellow card
