What's the most annoying thing someone can do at home, at a store or job or the road. anything that annoys you.

[debm55]

[Sneederbunk]

1. Wearing a MAGA hat.

[yaesu]

2. watching or listening to fox goptv. nt

[debm55]

3. Thank you yaesu. I agree.

[debm55]

4. Tailgating.

[Emile]

8. I second that!

[debm55]

14. Thank you Emile. I totally agree.

[hlthe2b]

9. Definitely... And younger drivers seem increasingly likely to treat multi-lane Boulevards/Aveunues like freeways..

Tail-gating and flashing lights to try to get one to move into the right lane. Well, Boulevards and Avenues are designed for slower traffic and frequent right and left turns. Where these idiots get the idea that they should be treated like interstate highways (ignoring how aggressive and dangerous their driving is there), just drives me nuts. Even in the wee hours, I encounter this to the point local law enforcement is going to deploy new unrecognizable speed and license plate detection technology all over areas I drive. Anyone driving over 10 mph over the speed limit will get a ticket in the mail and repeat offenders will eventually face court appearances.

I know it is not JUST younger drivers, but they seem to be the worst--male teens--in my experience. Some horrific wrecks lately have me really unnerved.

[CurtEastPoint]

12. Extreme speeding. Some young fucker got caught going 150 on the interstate in ATL

[debm55]

89. Thank you CurtEastPoint. very dangerous. I am glad he was caught before he hurt someone.

[debm55]

16. I hope it works out for your area. Around here they don't have mufflers and it looks like that they are going to go over

your car. Usually they are those big trucks.Thank you hlthe2b. I hope the new measures work for your area.

[hlthe2b]

23. No. This is new technology. Not intersection cameras or masked vehicles/trucks with the equipment...

They aren't being extremely forthcoming, but a few Denver news types have been allowed to gain some insight under agreements not to fully report. They have said that these devices will not be identifiable--at least until new tech can identify their (miniaturized) camera signatures.

[LisaM]

34. Near the top of my list, along with incessant lane changing.

Usually the same drivers are guilty of both. Pick a lane, FFS. Preferably well in advance of when you need to go four lanes over to exit.

[debm55]

91. Agree with you LisaM. It is frustrating and annoying.

[Harker]

65. We lived in Lawrence County for a few years, and I was struck by how tailgating is rampant in PA.

I saw a bumper sticker there, from a safe distance, that read, "I'm sorry for driving so close in front of you."

[debm55]

66. Hi Harker, I still live in Allegheny County and it is all over the county and I guess the state to.

[Harker]

67. Oh, yes.

We're in upstate NY now, and if there's somebody riding my bumper it's almost always a Pennsylvanian.

Not you, of course!

[debm55]

68. HAHAHAHHHAHA

[woodsprite]

5. Playing PokemonGo while driving! UGH!!! nt

[debm55]

17. Thank you woodsprite. Or any game or just talking. It is very dangerous.

[CrispyQ]

6. Shoppers leaving their grocery cart askew or in the middle of the aisle so other shoppers can't get past.

When I'm driving, pretty much everything other drives do irritates me.

[spooky3]

11. I was going to say that :-) ! Also, after they leave the cart there,

They stand between the cart and the shelves forever deciding which product to put in their cart.

[debm55]

21. Agree, spooky. That's why I move it for them

[spooky3]

22. 😈😈😈

[debm55]

18. Thank you CrispyQ, That is very annoying with the charts. I move their carts to get around. They are not too happy

About me doing that , but what the heck , move it yourself and I won't have to do it.

[debm55]

90. thank you CrispyQ , I agree. I move it for them

[LuckyCharms]

7. Let's see. I had someone puke on my feet at a concert once.

That was pretty annoying.

[debm55]

20. Thank you LuckyCharms. that is gross.

[Lochloosa]

77. Sorry about that. Too much Jack.

[Emile]

10. Shoppers who are too lazy to put their shopping cart

in the parking lot corral.

People who open their car doors and allow it to rub the next vehicle.

People who park in handicap spaces without being handicapped.

[debm55]

24. Thank you Emile. I agree with all three being annoying. It used to be the stores would pay for the damages to the car

from the carts but no more. They have signs that say "you park at your own risk"

[LisaM]

37. Re your second gripe (which I generally agree with)

Sometimes it's impossible not to when people don't park their car between the lines or park a huge vehicle in a space meant for a compact car.

[debm55]

62. Sometimes they take up two spaces ,so no one its their truck. I have seen Trucks and expensive cars parked sideways

between two parking spaces.

[yellowdogintexas]

72. In Texas, world capital of ostentanious pickup trucks, they park over 3 spaces. nt

[debm55]

92. Thank you yellowdogintexas. Here in PA they park on an angle taking up two spaces.

[DUMember24]

60. If they they have a decal, how do you know they don't have a handicap?

Are you referring to people parked without a decal, or just the ones who don't "look handicap", even though they legitimately have a decal? I've seen some Karen situations where people actually have non-visible handicaps.

[Phentex]

69. Ah, my first fight on DU was over shopping carts!

Mod told me to F-OFF!

Said poster is no longer with us.

I marveled at the ways people justified not returning their carts.

[debm55]

70. Oh my.Glad you are with us.

[JoseBalow]

13. Spitting

I never want to see, or hear, that

[debm55]

25. JoseBalow, I agree. Do not like either. Spreads germs and is just dirty.

[OldBaldy1701E]

15. Show a wanton disregard to another human being.

I once watched a group of young guys walking across a city walkway and approach a set of stairs. The second one started to go down as the first one hit the landing and turned. The guy behind him suddenly shoved him down the stairs. He and all his friends thought it was hilarious. The guy who was pushed was pretty mad, but was unhurt. The first guy was indifferent to it all.

I thought about strolling over and cracking open the guy's skull with my police baton. (Usually concealed on my person in non-local areas.) That kind of thing is not funny and the brat deserved to be reamed out for doing it. The others deserved to be yelled at for being so indifferent to such a dangerous act. And, I bet they still think that guy is their friend.

[debm55]

26. Good for you OldBaldy1701E. Who needs friends like that. That boy could have been seriously hurt.

[Lunabell]

19. Tailgating!!

If it weren't illegal to brake-check, I'd be in a lot of rear end accidents. I just tap my brakes, then slow to a crawl until they go around me.

[debm55]

27. Thank you Lunabell. I pull over to the side of the road.and let them pass

[Shermann]

29. I only ever brake checked one time.

It almost caused a road rage incident, and I haven't repeated it.

I have developed and rolled out a milder form of retribution. If the offender is behind me in the right lane and I am making a right turn, I do it eeeeeeever so slowly. Deaccelerate reaalllllly gradually. Put on my right-hand turn signal at the last minute (don't want to break the law). Then reeaaallly reaaallly gingerly and cautiously make my right turn. Lots of brake.

[debm55]

35. Thank you Shermann. Great way to get back.

[debm55]

28. In the house-not finishing the ice cream when the is one tablespoon inside or the same with milk. etc.

[elleng]

30. Continually REORGANIZE stuff!

[debm55]

33. Thank you elleng. I agree.

[Shermann]

31. I guess workplace insults are roped off?

I could go on and on.

[debm55]

32. Sherman anything that annoys you is up for grabs.

[Shermann]

49. There were donuts at work last week and somebody took one bite of one and put it back. nt

[debm55]

50. Well hell , Shermann, that is totally gross. Did you say anything?

[Shermann]

53. The culprit's identity is unknown. Also, I'd already put in my two weeks' notice. nt

[debm55]

54. Do you have another job lined up?

Good luck.

[Shermann]

57. I start tomorrow, thanks! nt

[LisaM]

36. E-bikes and scooters on the sidewalks.

I am sick of dodging these assholes. Then they leave them strewn wherever, often blocking sidewalk cuts and endangering blind people.

[debm55]

38. Thank you LisaM. That is very rude on the biker's part.

[LisaM]

39. They need to be banned.

Some cities are starting to figure it out. Pedestrians have the right of way but you'd never know it in Seattle.

[debm55]

40. Agree, be safe.

[LisaM]

41. People who turn right on red without looking for pedestrians

or even stopping in some cases. I walk almost everywhere and I am short and I dread crossing the street. It's almost impossible to make eye contact with most drivers because of their effing tinted windows. I have never seen anyone ticketed for not yielding to a pedestrian, either.

Clearly I have many peeves on this topic!

[debm55]

42. As you have a right to. After covid I noticed that drivers were very careless about the rules of driving and did as they

pleased.

[LisaM]

44. Yes, the roads were so empty, people started driving differently.

Great observation.

[debm55]

46. Thanks.

[The Madcap]

43. Drive a giant pickup

With big t**** flags

[debm55]

45. Yep drive a 45,000 truck with flags and complain they can't afford eggs.

[LisaM]

47. Or gas! n/t

[debm55]

48. True,

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Speaking Of That...

...saw a guy in an oversized pickup truck, lifted with the $1,000 each wheels & $500 each tires, moaning about the price gas. Bur, while pumping gas while his truck was running! In May. Not cold, not hot.
But, left the truck running & was whining about gas prices while driving a truck that had to set him back 60 grand or more.

[debm55]

52. Thank you ProfessorGAC. That sure is annoying.

[Shermann]

61. I'll donate eggs when he drives by in it. nt

[debm55]

93. Thank you Shermann. That's funny.

[SWBTATTReg]

55. Hovering around me, especially at the store, when I was alone at first looking at some items, and they can't wait

for me to get done, so they edge in, hoover, etc., irritating the hell out of me. Wait your f**king turn! Good grief. So many people are in such a hurry, that they literally run over everybody else. My motto: Screw you, you rude blank.

[debm55]

58. Thank you ,I always found that annoying.

[SheltieLover]

56. When a magst opens its mouth & spews whiny shit

And they do it constantly.

[debm55]

59. Thank you SheltieLover. I agree and then they get into their 45,000 big truck.

[Emile]

63. Telephone scammers who won't give me their

personal cell phone number so I can call them back at a more convenient time.

[debm55]

64. I have tried that. No one answers.

[Different Drummer]

71. Backseat driving.

If you want to drive so badly, get in the driver's seat and do it!

[debm55]

94. Different Drummer. I agree. and their comments on how you are driving and how to get there an easier way.

[yellowdogintexas]

73. Vehicles with high mounted headlights which hit me directly in the eyes

and they are always the extra bright ones too. ( or have the high beams on)

Also, drivers who speed up on me, whip out into the left lane then jump in front of me to exit. OR the opposite: drivers who come up the ramp and then merge in at a snail's pace

When I lived in Nashville, there was some sort of rule that no driver could let anyone get in front of them. I would start out in the appropriate distance behind a car and before I knew it there would be 3 cars in front of me.

[debm55]

95. Thank you yellowdogintexas. I really agree with the headlights.sometimes I do swear they are using their highbeams.

[jfz9580m]

74. Riding bikes with silencers off

It doesn’t just annoy me..it drives me around the bend . I am sensitive to noise.

It is usually young men..

[debm55]

96. Thank you jfz9580,. We have one around here. You can hear him all the way down the road. Annoying.

[Mad_Dem_X]

75. Not using their headlights when it's dark and/or raining!

[debm55]

97. Thank you Mad_Dem_X, I agree. That is so dangerous.

[Emile]

76. My neighbor sneaking up behind me on my property

with his battery operated golf cart.

[debm55]

88. Thank you Emile. Thank can be very dangerous.

[samplegirl]

78. People coughing, and they don't even bother to cover their mouth

Was in the store the day before yesterday and a woman was telling a man that she has Covid. Coughing went crazy. I was quite a ways across from her, but could hear the conversation then said nothing political, please.

[debm55]

82. Thank you samplegirl. And they don't care either

[Diamond_Dog]

79. I have a small car and I usually park farther out in the lot and walk a little bit

keeping 3-4 spaces empty on either side of my car. Too many times to count ….. a large pickup or SUV will park right next to me and leave me about 10” to open the drivers side door on my car. Grrrr!

WAY too many ads for prescription drugs on TV.

MAGATs in stores or doctors offices who strike up a conversation with me assuming I am on their side because I am white.

Trying to get ahold of ANY service or business on the phone and/or waiting for them to call you back.

I could go on and on ……

[debm55]

80. Thank you Diamond_Dog Those are really things

[PennRalphie]

81. Sitting at a red light

Head down, you know they’re on the phone, not moving, especially at the fast changing lights.

[debm55]

83. Thank you, PennRalphie. I always wondered what was so important that the had to make a call.Pull over and make or

receive your call.

[HoosierDebbie]

84. Drivers behind me

Drivers behind me at a traffic light who want to turn right on a red arrow. They expect me to go ahead and turn after stopping, but this would be a traffic violation. Drivers must wait for a green arrow unless there is a sign posted allowing such a move.

An intersection that I occasionally traverse has this type of signal where I only ever turn right. Sometimes drivers behind me are irritated enough to back up a little and move over to the breakdown lane to get around me.

[debm55]

87. Thank you HoosierDebbie, They do that here too. Verry annoying.

[TommieMommy]

85. Throwing trash on the ground, trump signs still around and that darn Wegovy TV commercial 😡

[debm55]

86. Thank you TommieMommy. Agree with your annoying things.

[walkingman]

101. Totally agree about the Trump signs - here in Central Texas they have been

around for the last 8 years. So every time I drive down the road, it disgusts me. And to make it even worse it will perpetuate our daily lives seemingly forever.

[Hotler]

98. Spitting on the shop floor or all over the jobsite. Find a fucking trash can and use it. nt

[Dulcinea]

99. People who crack/snap/pop gum in public.

I HATE THAT NOISE WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.

[debm55]

100. Thank you Dulcinea. I agree with you.

[catbyte]

102. Being rude.

I mean, how hard is it for a person to treat others politely?

[debm55]

103. Thsnk you catbyte. I agree. Ran across one here yesterday, Very rude.
