<p>You’re in the gym, it’s not at all crowded, there are dozens of exercise machines not being used, and Mr. Muscle comes up and asks how long you’re going to be on the machine you’re on.</p>
<p>You’re in a nearly empty fast food place…you’re sitting alone in a booth, and some other patron sits in the booth next to yours, facing you…so you’re 7 feet apart, looking at each other.</p>
<p>The old reliable: people coming to almost a complete stop before making a right turn.</p>
<p>Empty-car-ashtray-in-parking-lot guy.</p>
<p>The person who finishes his/her business at a drive-up ATM and then sits there for 30 seconds before moving up so another car can access the machine.</p>
<p>Throw dirty diaper on the ground in the parking lot guy/gal</p>
<p>too lazy to walk 10 yards to put the shopping cart in the corral guy so leave it in a parking spot guy/gal</p>
<p>leave the car for ten minutes by the gas pump while you are doing whatever while there are lines for the pumps guy/gal - how hard is it to move your car to a parking spot?</p>
<p>spit gum on the ground so other people can get it stuck on their shoes guy/gal - put it in a trash bin!!</p>
<p>People that don’t leave the caps off their plastic water bottles before they throw them in the recycling.</p>
<p>I always wonder how much water is in sealed water bottles in land-fill sites…and imagine a post-apocalyptic world in which the only untainted fresh water is in those bottles.</p>
<p>Where do you live where diapers in parking lots are a problem? I’ve never seen even one.</p>
<p>“People wearing shorts who don’t completely pull forward to the front gas pump so the rear gas pump is unavailable to another car then leave their car there while they go into the store for 10 minutes, then empty their ashtray onto the ground and spit gum right where the next person has to stand”</p>
<p>Though actually I have no problem with the shorts - as long as they are not short shorts - where we live it is 100+ right now and 95% of guys are wearing shorts.</p>
<p>My husband who snores through the movie he wanted to see, knowing I didn’t want to see it!</p>
<p>The woman in front of me at the grocery store. She has a full to the brim cart of groceries, yet waits until the cashier tells her the total and then rummages through her purse for her checkbook. Of course she can not find a pen so she has to ask the cashier. All the while my check is written out except for the total as I have had plenty of time to do so while I wait for her items to be rung up; could she have not done the same?</p>
<p>Don’t want to start a gender war, but has anybody ever seen a male do the full-stop before right turn or rummage in purse for checkbook routines?</p>
<p>How about the people who get up to the front of the line at McDonald’s, and THEN start to look over the menu. I think I spend too much time in fast-food places. Maybe I should just go to the drive-thru window in my BMW SUV.</p>
<p>When you’re at a store and all the cash register lines have at least five people waiting. You’re at the end of a line. A new register opens and the cashier announces “I can take someone over here.” and some person who hasn’t been waiting forever promptly zooms over to the newly opened register. Much better if they say “I can help the next person in line.”</p>
<p>People who drive at least 10 MPH under the speed limit in the left lane of a highway.</p>
<p>How about folks who put their directional on as they start making the turn. If I knew you were going to be making a turn when the light turns green I would probably have moved to the other lane.</p>
<p>How about folks standing in line for several minutes at the coffe shop/the bakery/fast food store who wait til they are at the front of the line and being waited on to start scanning the menu and decide what they want.</p>
<p>“Irk does not describe my feeling about people spitting. ugh.” </p>
<p>I’m with you on spitting…but since it’s a meta-irksome offense, it belongs in another thread, along with arson, kidnapping, and men wearing shorts to religious services.</p>
