Another escalator one. People who just stand there and take up the whole width, even though there are signs explaining that you should leave the left side free for those able and willing to move their asses in order to get up or down faster. It says right = stand, left = walk, how thick can one be not to get that?

People making alarmist, uneducated and ill-intended claims. Wouldn't it be great if, before crying foul play based on the message you get from an addon, you'd try to understand what that warning is issued for and maybe even that you get a lot of false positives if you count on it?

When the entree comes out minutes after the appetizers.
When you hold a door for someone and they don't even acknowledge your existence.
When someone bumps into you and doesn't apologize
Tardiness. I am a punctual person and I hate late people.

Punctual people! they try to make my dumb drunk ass show up on THEIR time when I'd rather be taking a nap.

In all seriousness though, people that show up to work like 40 minutes early knowing they won't get paid any extra for it. Geez man, get a life.

So in other words you should be getting paid being there early as a necessity but once co-workers come in you're needed elsewhere, probably because of them (not necessarily a bad thing), leaving you no time or not enough to get you own shit done.
This kinda pisses me off that corporate America knows this and will gladly have people do more work on their time without paying them.

I can't view links to 'vigilink' images at work, so I start to look at posts here during my lunch break but can't see the linked images, then I forget to go look at them later because they are marked as 'read' already.

For me it is a necessity, but by choice. My ED doesn't expect it. I don't work in the corporate world, I work at a non profit and just feel a strong investment in what I do. Been there 29 years so it is a part of me. I feel blessed that way. Not that I wouldn't mind retiring and playing guitar more

Stores that don't have sizes smaller than 34 (I think that's a US size 4) and even those are rare. And "our sizes run small" is bullshit, I've tried that size 34. It's loose. I can't view links to 'vigilink' images at work, so I start to look at posts here during my lunch break but can't see the linked images, then I forget to go look at them later because they are marked as 'read' already. The actual link is in the redirect link. Unless that's blocked too...

People who come into work at the beginning of the day, when it's nice and quiet conducive to getting work done, and then don't SHUT THE FUCK UP for the first half hour they are there. when NO ONE else is talking. Then the rest of the workers on the floor straggle in and it's noisy for the rest of the day. Thank you for RUINING my brief respite of silence ASSHOLE!

People who block the whole isle in a store. They put their cart on one side, hunch over to look on the opposite side, then stick their ass out to block the middle of the aisle. Leave room for people to pass.
When I'm listening to songs and people start singing along. I don't mind a few seconds here and there, but the worst is when the don't even know the words and just start humming in a horribly out of tune pitch.
People who come into work and instantly destroy the bathroom. There's people at my work that do this every day.
People collecting money in buckets at intersections. I support plenty of charity's but screwing up traffic and trying to jam a bucket in my car window doesn't bring out my charitable side.
Sports talk radio.
"Enlightened" political folk who write a couple sentences preaching tolerance, while bashing and insulting people who have different views. They're too dumb to see the irony in their own statements.
When someone will circle around a parking lot 8 times to park 30 feet closer.

^ Some good ones there, which remind me of a few more...
In the supermarket, I will put my cart and myself on the opposite side of the aisle because I can't see things up close as well, but I leave a clear path for others to pass by. So I'm standing there looking intently at the shelf of cereal or whatever, and someone will invariably come along and stop right in front of me and start looking for cereal as if I am invisible. Pisses me off every time.
I agree with the bathroom one, although I understand people might have issues so I don't get too mad. But anyway, there is a bathroom right across from my office, and there are a couple guys who once they go in there you can forget about going in for at least 2 hours after they leave. More of a nuisance than a true peeve for me.

Parents not keeping their little shitters on a fucking leash! On my first ever flight outside Europe three years ago, there was a woman with a little monster right behind me. The damn kid yelled and kicked the back of my chair non-stop for 5 fucking hours! The mother was completely unable to control him and the plane was packed so I couldn't move. Above me, there's a family with a very noisy kid. I don't know what the fuck he's dragging on the floor all the damn time... it sounds like a fucking chain, so maybe I'm wrong and they are keeping him on a leash... literally. Now there's a bunch of kids running, chasing each other, fighting on the main building hallway. Yelling, pushing each other into the elevator door, kicking it... Mind you, the elevator door is metallic and there's quite an echo. I am trying to read, ffs! And it's not a leisure thing, I need to do a tech review for a book and the deadline is tight. Oh, another one because I just actually watched this video for the first time. I love the song, I love the band, but what's ridiculous is the censorship. So breasts have to be blurred, but it's okay to show human sacrifice and blood and all that. Seriously? What's next? Cover up all the nude statues in the world? Ffs, it's a form of artistic expression... SMH...
