I mean, aren’t most people like this? I feel like most people are like this.
Most are, but enough aren’t to be quite infuriating
I guess I just don’t interact with enough people.
I strive to interact with a number of people such that I don’t experience people walk around playing videos on their phone in public, so maybe you’re doing something right.
Fair enough haha
I think most aren’t. But many of the listed things are something that annoy many people when just one person does it.
I suppose that makes sense.
Other than number 4 yeah. Zipper merging in America is top 3 pet peeves.
What do people do then? Play a game of chicken? Come to a full stop on the ramp? Crash into each other?
Let Jesus take the wheel!!!
Yes
Social media bros virtue signaling the most basic social skills, episode 3257
Being part of society and playing by its rules used to get you a decent life. That is not the case anymore for anyone.
That’s was a lie back then too.
Looks around at the thousands of peice of shit wealthy boomers.
I’m really not sure about that…
I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.
I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.
I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.
I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.
I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.
I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.
I feed people’s pets without asking.
I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.
I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.
I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.
I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.
I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.
Everything was believable until you mentioned Star Wars

oooh danny boy 🎶🎵
Dude people on the phone when they shouldn’t is one of my pet peeves, I hate it so much. Especially because it makes me feel racist sometimes, since apparently the threshold of shame is a lot lower to just video call on speaker in public when people assume their surroundings don’t understand the conversation.
So many non white germans not giving a fuck about these things, makes me want to learn all these languages so I can embarrass the people by understanding their private talks. Honestly I think that’s the root cause, I can’t imagine that being customary in their places of origin.
As for the people who use their phone at the cinema, I have to seriously fight the urge to throw my 20 bucks concession stand coke at them.
What I can never understand is who is so important that they just have to be on the phone in a public place. If it was personal I would quickly say I’ll call you back. If it was business I would leave the public place and have the conversation somewhere private. I am always amazed going to a supermarket and observing people on their cell phone having a conversation from the time they come in till they exit.
I can understand if you are trying to multitask and have the conversation while you are doing your shopping. But you should put the phone to your ear or wear headphones, not use speaker.
And then there are people who just play their music on speaker, because obviously everyone wants to hear your music too.
People talk with each other in person while shopping too though. There’s not really anything different from being on a phone in public and talking to someone next to you in public. If people are being super loud that’s annoying sure but that happens without a phone too

Where joke?
People listening to music or watching videos on their crappy phone speakers on public transports drive me crazy… I don’t want to hear the coughing fits of agony of your phone’s speakers for hours on the train 😭 JUST BUY EARPHONES
Categorical imperative.
I can shorten that for you: I think about others.
Best shitpost today 10/10
A divider at checkout? Everything is self scanning these days over here.
Near me they introduced an old school cash register with somebody behind it. It is known as the talking cash register lol
My municipality recently switched waste management companies because the new guys promised to put a staffed customer service location nearby.
I’m flumoxed. We’re paying more for this, too.
You’re doing America wrong.
We can’t? Why not? I can. Most people do! Everyone could… some don’t. Fuck those assholes.
Let cars merge onto the highway?
People do realize it’s the merger’s responsibility, right? I mean, don’t block people in, but you should be holding your speed if you’re in the right lane, not adjusting.
Drive predictably, not nicely.
That’s bullshit, in the NL we are taught the first responsibility of every driver is to get the best outcome for the entire situation, not just blindly follow laws/rules. You’re supposed to help the merging by shifting at least 1 lane to the left if it’s busy, or by slowing down or speeding up to make space.
When the left lane does not adjust their speed for the incoming driver, the right lane is forced to slow down and sometimes stop completely if traffic is bad enough. This further increases traffic because now the left lane has to stop as well to allow the right lane to merge.
properly zipper merging sometimes requires concessions of the driver in the lane being merged to
No, you can often see what’s going on and adjust your speed a little to let merging work well, without causing risk to other traffic.
Well, I can at least.
You can also move in one lane if it’s empty to let merging cars enter the outside lane easily.
I was a trucker for a while. I would always get over if I could, but it doesn’t always work out that way. The amount of people that assumed a 40000 lb vehicle would dance out of their way so they could merge at 20mph less than prevailing traffic speed was too damn high.
In the US the person in the acceleration lane/on-ramp is responsible for merging with the flow of traffic on the highway, presumably because the person already on the highway has less opportunity to yield safely.
One time, in the middle of the night on an empty highway, as a car was getting on they accelerated right up next to me and then did the same speed as me until the acceleration lane ended and then honked at me for being in their way.
I don’t think I was in the wrong there even if it would have been easy to change lanes for the other car. They could have just as easily merged ahead of or behind me.
I’ve thought about it and I really should have just let that guy in. I don’t remember all of the details, I just remember feeling righteously indignant afterward, so that’s how I tell the story. It was probably just a coincidence that we ended up at the same speed right next to each other and it would have been super easy to just move over, barely an inconvenience.
Depends on the country. In Denmark for example, the one on the highway has to give way to the merging traffic.
Did the cart narcs post this?
Yes, it is too bad you all are barely more than animals, failing daily to even aspire to live up to basic public decorum.
Uh, ok. Sounds like you think you aren’t human
you and me we ain’t nothing but mammals
