Pet Peeves

People who meander slowly out of shops, with their body angled in one direction but are looking in the opposite direction. Guaranteed they will materialise right in front of me and I have no damn idea which direction they're going.

.....then they bump into someone they know and block the entrance for 10 minutes having a chat! And that someone they know always has a fucking pram so you can't just walk around them!

Yes! Or they start nattering away, completely oblivious that the pram/shopping trolley is at 45 degrees to traffic flow, thus taking up even more space! Honestly, these people mess up my ninja crowd navigation mojo, and I DON'T LIKE IT!
 
Drinking the last of the Brita pitcher and placing it back in the fridge empty :12:

Also, using the last of the TP and not replacing the roll. Gah!

People seriously have lost the ability to walk in a socially-aware way. They'll enter a store and stop, dead in the center instead out of the traffic path, too.

They also meander aimlessly down sidewalks (which are narrow enough here in SoFla) whether alone or in small groups, completely blocking anyone behind them, and then get huffy when you attempt to cross through them, no matter how politely you ask.

Oblivious pedestrians drive me to distraction. On what planet is one not taught how to maneuver on foot in public?

Send 'em all to Tokyo for a weekend of riding the subways. That'll teach 'em some respect for the deft and gentlemanly slalom of Messrs Bucko, Silvertrain and their ilk, and the silky aisle glide of Ms VernalTiger.

Either that or drop 'em in midtown Manhattan: they'd be pushed out into oncoming traffic :wink:
 
Don't know if this has already been mentioned - people in cycling gear who just carry their bikes on public transport. They take up space and keep knocking into other people. They make me want to scream, "EITHER RIDE YOUR FUCKING BIKE OR LEAVE IT AT HOME!"

Churchy people who tell you, "You are loved."

"We're praying for you." That only makes me want sin more! :tongue:
