Oh yeah I forgot this one....

Hey I'm talking to you. Put down the damn phone and make eye-contact.

Oh, yes! I've done that quite a few times. Although, they are probably shaking their heads at us.

I really don't care, they can throw their little shade.

I'm trying to get to work and these people are here taking a damn stroll at 8:15 in the morning like they have no place to be. I mean tell me you're not out shopping please? It's 8:15, nowhere is open yet.

RUDENESS . . . 

I worked at a college library that checked out laptops.  The majority of the students would walk up to the desk while talking on their phone, slap their card on the desk, bark "laptop!", and continue their conversation.  I desperately wanted to smash some phones.  Or bark "asshole!" back at them.

Yes, people that are always late or blow you off really pisses me off.

Correctly? Shit. I'll consider complying but I'm not gonna like it.

Another thing that I've noticed, MOST people seem to do, is try to park as close as they possibly can when going to a store or the mall. I never understood this. I always park in the back, and watch and laugh at the cars that act like vultures, that keep circling areas closer to the entrance of a store. I zoom around them, park where I am 5 spaces away from a car, and am in the store before they even park. I always think, "You guys are idiots." Especially when they're going to be walking well over a mile in that store, an extra 50 feet of walking in the parking lot isn't going to kill you! It's so much easier to park, and it's so much easier to get out, when you park a little further away. If you park too close, the traffic is worse and people will be blocking you to try to get into your own spot. (If you have to park on the side of the road, it's a different story)

Good one.

When the customer service agent your speaking to in person, says hold on and answers the phone, does not put them on hold, handles their problem, then turns around and says "Now where were we?" or "What did you want again?".

If I post something somewhere, and it gets a bunch of views, but no replies. Watching that view counter go up without a single reply is frustrating.

Pay attention to me! Love me! I want your affections!

There was this one woman who we used to see parking at the train station every morning. She would just sling her car into this parking space any old how and get out, leaving the car straddling over into the next parking space.

Anyway she got a fine in the end and it soon stopped. yay.

- Litterers.
- People who don't wash. I keep chopping people on this but I can't say it enough, people, in the morning... shower + brush your teeth + deodorant + clean clothes. It's really not that hard.

I despise litterers, but what is worse are litterers with attitude, who think they have every right to litter,
and think that you have ZERO right to resent it.

There was a big flap in Toronto in 2006, over a litterbug.

A female bike courier was passing through a quaint, pedestrian-only, vintage-clothes-shopping district of Toronto,
called "Kensington Market".

As she was leaving the area, she saw a huge SUV roll down a window, and an empty McDonald's bag hurled unapologetically to the ground, outside, in plain view of everyone.

Outraged, the bike courier picked up the bag and chucked it back into the still-open window of the SUV.

The driver of the SUV, a young man much larger than the bike courier, emerged, seething, and this ensued:

Remember, this is over littering.

The story made the news, much public opinion siding with the bike courier,
but a surprising amount sided with the litterbug;
the main reason seemingly that she "took the law into her own hands"
by electing to toss his garbage right back into his truck.

Or parking in the handicapped spot or fire lane. WTF!
