Of course the great pioneer of vulgar political language sits in the Oval Office. During his campaign in 2016, Mr Trump promised to “bomb the ****” out of Islamic State, said voters should tell firms that move overseas to “go **** themselves”, and smirkingly repeated an audience member’s dismissal of an opponent as “a *****”. Mr Trump said that a female journalist who had asked him tough questions had “blood coming out of her wherever”. In office, he has derided immigration from “shithole” countries.
I see no one has mentioned people with no situational awareness. That can mean a variety of things, of course. In this instance I am addressing people who engage in extended conversations with service staff who have more than one person to work with. A common example would be someone telling their life story to a cashier at grocery store. How many times have you watched some person still talking about their lives with a cashier who is attempting to help the next person, only to stand in the way or continue what is obviously a single-serving friend? Personally I just move right to the card machine and begin engaging the person behind the counter while making my payment, the idiot usually realizes they're in the way. If not, I don't care I'll just continue my transaction as if they were gone.
People that drive 30mph in a 60! They are the worst bastards known to mankind especially when you're late.
One thing that I find very annoying: Often I get stuck in the lane for a left turn at a major intersection for a fairly long time. Sometimes it can take two or even three cycles of the lights to get through. But then what happens is the person in the front of the line becomes distracted because of the long wait, and then fails to move when they get the green. People start honking but by the time things start to move you've missed half of the green light and get stuck for another full cycle of the lights. Grrrrrrrr!!! I've tried to find better alternatives to problem intersections but sometimes there are no better options.
People who insist on driving up you a*se on the motorway/freeway when you're in heavy traffic at 70mph.
Road walkers. Where I live, there are no sidewalks or kerbs. We also have a surplus of middle aged people who walk daily. Apparently, when you reach a certain age and fitness level, you're no longer obliged to soil your $400 Brooks by walking on the nature strip. You become entitled, apparently, to walk on the road and not give way to cars. You become entitled to demand that cars give way to you .. regardless of whether that means a car is forced onto the wrong side of the road .. as is almost always the case. Heck, you can even walk with phones in and your Mozart playing loudly .. because drivers ought to know in advance that you can't hear them coming. Not your problem. Second to Road Walkers, are Mountain Bikers. Another beast which is in plague proportions in my local area. I get that it's great and all .. heck I mountain bike myself! .. but once you leave the dedicated bike trail in the forest, you are no longer entitled to priority. ROAD bikes, sure. They are entitled to use the ROAD, and I always give way to them. Mountain bikes though, have no need for hard surfaces, and should be moving to the nature strip as soon as they hear a car coming. Most never do, though. They remain on my hair pin bends, steep mountain road, struggling up the hill at a snail's pace, holding up umpteen cars. RIGHT NEXT TO THEM is a 5 metre wide strip of reasonable ground which their off-road bikes can easily handle, but no ... they insist on using the road.
People which play loud music in the streets or bus. People which make common places dirty. That would deserve death penalty. And I'm barely joking.
I'm absolutely in agreement with this one. I used to believe the old trope about it being an unfortunate side effect of poverty .. until I started travelling in the Third World. Some of the richest areas are the dirtiest, and some of the poorest are the cleanest. I saw people living in cardboard boxes beside train tracks, who rose each day at dawn and swept their surroundings until spotless, before taking their first bath of day in the local creek (a minimum of two per day, and each one incredibly thorough). Filth is an attitude, not an economic position.
I must add to this list the drivers who are trying to exit a private business drive onto a normal road, who think they can drive perpendicular to traffic to get in another lane. Sometimes they’ll try and cross 3 plus lanes only to turn left. And they only need to turn right out if the drive, and go a little further to make a u turn or move to another lane. These people should be thrown from an airliner mid flight. The people who wave them over into another lane that they can’t see are as bad.
I totally agree about loud music - walking on a noisy street with a mini subwoofer in your backpack is pointless - you can’t truly enjoy music and in fact you end up annoying everyone who walks by you.
another thing I despise: at a ball game, some parents will tell their little kids to go play but not near them - then those little brats get in your way, throw spit wads at each other, fight, play tag, curse each other and obstruct your view of the game what's worse is if you ask the kids to get out of your way, those stupid parents say those are good kids and that you should just shut up or some other crap like that
lol Poor you! Hope she doesn't do it in the middle of the night when your fast asleep!! If she does I'd divorce her if I were you.
That reminds me . . . when someone says 'bless you' and you have to reply 'thank you'!! I just ignore them. Like I ignore anyone who wishes me 'Happy New Year' - they can't get their heads around it when I say thank you but don't return the meaningless sentiment.
