    Littering in general pisses me off.

    How does one stroll (or drive) along and just casually toss their trash on the ground?

    (ps...for some reason, refusing to shake hands reminds me of the Sienfeld where his girlfriend refused to taste the apple pie and wouldn't say why)

    It's laziness plain and simple

    You and me both.

    Just last night, I saw a guy get out of his friend's truck, finish his can of whatever, and just toss it on the ground. He then walked (empty-handed) towards the theater entrance, where there is a GARBAGE CAN strategically placed for such very items!! Outrageous.

    I cannot stand littering.

    Nor can I stand people who chew with their mouths open. One of the things that separates man from (some forms of) beast is the ability to keep our lips together as we masticate. Let's behave like the higher beings that we are, shall we?

  • Here's another situation:

    Airplane lands and passengers are set to disembark.

    1. What's with the people that feel like they need to get off :05 seconds before you and move up into the aisle past your seat (row 26 to row 23... just past you in row 24)? Now standing where you might stand... hovering above you- looking directly ahead because they know they are a dickhead. Just flat out rude and ignorant.

    I realize some have connecting flights and this might motivate this type of behaviour (in which case... no problem), but often it just seems as if they are merely impatient and just want to get the hell off the plane brushing by anyone in their way.

    2. In the meantime, the guy in row 8 remains seated until row 7 completely clears. Then, he slowly gets up and begins to struggle with his carry-on luggage and finally begins to exit the plane with the aisle completely free in front of him. How about anticipating the moment you're about to get off... get up a little ahead of time... maybe even pull out your carry-on and wait with it so that you don't unneccesarily hold everyone up longer than necessary?

    Maybe I'm impatient. Yah... I'm impatient (or overly courteous); regardless... I think both these qualify as ignorant behaviours.

    The doosh parking in the disabled parking spot has spurned me to start this thread:

    Ignorant Behaviours that really irritate the hell out of you.

    Mine: Tossing the cigarette butts out of your car window. Use the ashtray, man, Our city's area endured a wildfire that seared the countryside and wreaked havoc on neighbouring communities because some slob tossed his cigarette out of his window.

    Despite the threat of igniting a fire... butts are simply disgusting and they are litter. Every now and then, I see a big pile in a parking lot that some loser just dumped there. Fak off.

    If you love your cigarettes so much- fair enough... dispose of your butt like a decent human being would.

    Or... save them for earplugs at the next Crooked Vultures concert.
    I read that birds pick up disgarded cig butts and use them as nesting material. It ends up killing their offspring :(

    some hawks use paper money in the nest.. 200 feet in the air is 500 bucks! but no human can get it :lol:

    When a person is driving and using the phone.. I panic.
    Freak out.
    I usually don't want to ride with them again.
    I know Health care workers.. They found a woman dead in her car. She had wrecked into the guardrail.
    The ems workers found her severed arm in a ditch..
    Her arm , well the hand part was still clutching her cell phone?

    sorry about my typos..I'm freezing

    A friend of mine was fighting with his girlfriend. he was at home , and she was driving. The fight got ugly.
    she died in a head on crash into a phone poll. He was on the line with her!!!

    Phones are way more scary than ciggy butts. I can go on , but I won't

    Agreed, using a mobile and driving is ridiculous. There is just no way that you can use one and concentrate completely on the road, no matter what some people seem to think. :?

    I usually follow it up with a sarcastic...your welcome.

    I agree that's rude, and people have done that to me tons of times. But, the sarcastic remark is rude, too.

    Drivers who refuse to stop for pedestrians who are trying to cross the street.

    Really, is it that important that you beat the person who's walking in the rain?

    Same thing happens to me here in Eau Claire. It's the state law here to stop for pedestrians and they don't for some reason. So one day I said f**k it, I'm going. The bus screeched to a halt and honked at me. I mouthed, "State Law" and gave the driver the double middle finger treatment. It's rare that I give one finger so double was like an extra special treat.


    a bus?! you had to make your point against a bus? i wouldve picked something smaller. :lol: but good on you. :thumbup:

    It's not commonly practiced in the Midwest. I almost killed a few people with my car when I moved out to Seattle. Then when I got used to it, I've almost been killed as a pedestrian back in the Midwest.

    A tip to those who live in areas where crosswalks are respected ... at least look each way to make sure you are not about to get creamed by a pickup truck driven by someone from the rust belt. :geek:


    from the beautiful mind that is bill hicks:

    LA is the home of the pedestrian right of way law. What this law is, is if a pedestrian decides to cross the road, anywhere or any time on the road, every car has to stop and let this person cross the road. Yes, 'cos only in LA does common courtesy have to be legislated. Ha ha ha
    Every car has to stop. Pretty ludicrous in light of the city we're in now right, if someone steps in front of your car here, you speed up and turn your wipers on you know.
    "Bum ch, bum ch. Bad call brother. Rrr."
    "Must've had a bad day. I don't know."
    Stupid law. How may of y'all wondered like I did during the LA riots, when those people were pulled out of their trucks and beaten half to death. How many of y'all wondered like I did: Step on the fucking gas, man!
    They're on foot, you're in a truck...
    I think I see a way out of this!
    That pedestrian right of way law.
    People are driving home, a gang of youths stepped in front of their truck, Molotov cocktails, clubs in hand, everyone of these idiots: Screeech.
    (Mimes waving people across road)
    (Mimes being pulled out of a vehicle by the hair)
    I guarantee you that Reginald Denney, that truck driver. Never gonna stop again as long as he lives.
    Could be an old woman with a baby carriage crossing the road, he's: Urrr, urrrrr.
    "Not today, baby."

    School bus needs to stop his ass. I mean, this guy takes kids to school. He must know about stopping for people in a crosswalk.

    Ha. Most of it is about driving. Mostly Americans here addicted to their cars. lives evolve around driving.

    A lot of people get annoyed about not stopping at crosswalks for pedestrians.

    I am the opposite. I get annoyed when people stop for me. Hosestly, I can get a across the street myself. It is especially funny when there is one car on the freaking street and they slow down stop at the crosswalk and motion me to walk. dammit, if you kept driving we both would've got this done a lot quicker.

    Crossing the street in Viet Nam is quite fun. :)

    Indeed the beautiful mind,I remember that sketch very well.

    Conversations on buses,laying bare all the dirty laundry of people's lives.We don't need to hear that shit.

    A couple stand at the same bus stop as me every morning and spend the time waiting on the bus fondling and snogging each other,I can hear all the slurping and moaning going on over the volume of my ipod.Once they got so carried away they lost balance and stumbled into me.
    It makes me feel physically sick,It's 6:15am for fuck sake if your not finished getting each other off,stay in bed an extra half hour! :sick:

    The absence of a simple thank you for holding a door for someone

    I really hate when people whip out from a parking lot and cut you off so you have to slam on the brakes to avoid rear-ending them and they proceed to drive 5-10 mph below the speed limit. Really? You can't be in such a big hurry that you nearly cause an accident just to avoid having to wait for 1 more car to pass AND drive slowly. You have to pick one. You're either in a hurry and you're driving 5-10 mph over the speed limit or you're waiting your damn turn and letting the real drivers pass before you turn out onto a busy road with a 50 mph speed limit.
