Especially them primarily because they try to hit you up as you ENTER the store instead of waiting until you are on the way out. I have ZERO interest in buying a few boxes of cookies and having to carry them around the store while I do my shopping.

Add petitioners/vote registration folk to the list.

Don't see a lot of the registration people, but the petitions are truly bad since so few of them are well-written and it is clear they won't do anything meaningful.

Or simply have a list if approved names parents can choose from, like the French did (do?).

Who is picking their names then? Please don't say the kids themselves?

This reminds me of something I heard from a childcare worker in Germany. She said (in German) the way things are going with names it won't be long before I find myself telling some kid, 'Legolas, let go of the legos.'

Which is much funnier in German. "Logolas lass die Legos los."

NFL mainly, but other sports, as well, where someone is surprised by a family member from the armed forces, who comes home and appears at halftime of the event. This is a total scam, paid for by the armed forces to push the narrative and help with recruiting.

People who see a policeman, fire fighter, or serviceman, and interject "thank you for your service" at any time. I have seen people having a debate, where one side first said: "first of all, thank you for your service", before attacking the other one's ideas. Was having lunch two days ago and two sheriffs were finishing their lunch (chain grocery store where you can have grab lunch in a line, then eat it with others in the store). They stood up and were heading to put their trash in the bin.....the guy next to me tells them..."thank you for your service". They give a token half nod, as they had never even noticed the guy before that. The guy then tells his co-worker that he generally is not a fan of law enforcement, but......

Cashiers at grocery stores (mainly grocery stores) who have personal conversations with customers about anything involving the cashier's personal life. "My husband and I are going to Cancun".

People digging for correct change, usually in their purse....digging for 8 cents, instead of just getting their change back.

That's a pretty solid collection.

Cornrows.

Manny Machado reminded me how much this pisses me off when he took his hat off the other night. Immediately makes me assume the person is dumber and more douchey than I would think if I saw that person with any other hair style.

When I’m waiting for a package for days and refreshing the fedex website on delivery day and not getting updates after “5am out for delivery” until suddenly “delivered” a half hour ago and I missed the arrival. But it’s not anything I am going to use right now anyway.

Posters that spew babble just to increase their post count*.

* Yeah, I'm guilty.**

** Posters that use footnotes (like BTM2) to make themselves appear smarter than the average bear.

Agreed, but I think live music is underrated in almost all situations.

That sounds awesome, but that may be because I haven't heard a live mariachi band in 15+ years.

Mariachi bands are terrible because they are loud. And the music sucks.
