Double wide side by side strollers that obnoxious parents push instead of the more crowd friendly front to back strollers.

Strollers. Period.

Kids in strollers, too.

Those strollers should piss you off.
In before "people who keep pointing out that this stuff should piss them off"
followed by "that should piss you off."

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
When people copy and paste huge swaths of wikipedia and leave the footnote markers in. What the **** am I supposed to be directed to ... oh, there isn't anything? you were just too lazy to take a minute and delete them? csb.
Otherwise not a bad post that suffered from this problem that inspired me to come in here and write this.

This used to piss me off, but I actually started recommending this to my main tech support customer (Hi Mom!). This prevents her from landing on a domain-typo landing site full of viruses etc.

I don't drive around town comparing prices but I'll absolutely inconvenience myself for another station within view. I don't do it so much to save 10-20 cents as I do to punish a gas station brazenly charging more than a competitor a block away. It's like they're saying, Yeah we're gonna charge more because we know you won't get in the left turn lane or drive 10 seconds out of your way. So yeah, I'll go out of my way to punish the stupidity of advertising a price higher than a competitor effectively right next door. Also, if I know that a certain gas station is way overcharging and there's another one nearby but slightly out of the way, I'll go out of my way. Yeah I get it, there's not another gas station within view, so you clearly must exploit this monopoly and charge fifteen cents more than the gas stations half a mile away.
My contribution: Gas prices advertised to the third decimal point. Hey *******s, don't charge fractions of a cent unless you can break a penny.
I buy a lot of gas.
