In my utopia, there is no Christmas and nobody cares about birthdays. But in the earlier post I overstated things a little. I don't so much mind being in the same room as others opening Christmas gifts (even though I could do without it), but making a big deal about whose gift you're opening while everyone watches for the reaction is the part I find uncomfortable. This happens more on birthdays than Christmas imo.

My wife has relatives (that we never see, thank God, but I've seen videos) where on a birthday, everyone sits in a big circle and one gift at a time is brought to the person celebrating their birthday. When the gift is opened it is then handed to the next person in the circle and everyone in the circle gets to look at that gift before a new gift is opened. They do this to children. I bet you would love this.

The cutoff should be 1/4. Mainly because I'm even quarters.

When I'm sitting at a red light with my signal on to turn left, and the first car across the intersection from me also has their left signal on. Then the light changes, I assume it's safe to turn while they're turning, but instead they go straight through. Turns out they want to turn left into a Dunkin' Donuts just past the intersection. And they stare at me like I'm the ******* here. Idiots.

Also, to save anyone the trouble:

[ ] Understands the thread title.

People who immediately stand up to get their bags and **** the second a plane lands. They then proceed to stand there for the next 5 minutes waiting for the doors to open.

Hey! They're the first to stand up though!

This actually makes me happy. A reminder of how dumb people are tends to brighten my day.

Why is it dumb to stand up and stretch after four hours sitting in a confined space?

Yeah, I stand immediately because by then my hips and back are really sore from being in a confined space for several hours. I don't get my bag unless I'm near the front, but I stand 100% of the time I'm on a aisle seat (which I request for every flight) as soon as the seatbelt light gets turned off.

Even the people in the window seats stand, they stand there leaning and crouching awkwardly under the overhead bins looking as uncomfortable as possible for several minutes.

I don't think stretching is their reason, it's more likely simply because they see everyone else standing. They also probably want to get off the plane like everyone else, and somehow in their minds this is the first step in that process.

This is similar to the cretins who insist on shuffling their wobbly asses down the aisle of a moving bus or train well in advance of their stop, just so they can stand unsteadily in front of the exit until the conveyance stops and the doors open.

When you are taking a **** in a public.restroom or at your job and someone push the door really ****ing hard to enter... sometimes they push it up to 3-4 times ... its ****ing locked stop.trying to brute force the ****ing door... in some place like in carrefour the lock suck so much that they could pass through if they keep doing it.

someone attempting to barge in while you're taking a **** should probably piss you off.

This should piss me off. Out to lunch with gramps today. He orders a turkey sandwich. Waitress brings us our food. He asks her what he ordered. She smugly said roast beef with ketchup. He then gives her a lesson on telling jokes, offers a suggestion to wink or smile when telling them. Respect to his composure because I sure had to hold back.

Dining tables that use benches instead of chairs so if you need to scoot in or out everyone has to stand at the same time.

Stores with neon "open" signs that are always on - even at 2am when the store is clearly closed.

Well, I see this happening on "long hours of flight" between inner European cities constantly. Typically between 45 and 90 minutes.

Disclaimer:
Not sure how the American lol-metric-aint-no-cool-system works; so this may translate to 12 - 22.125 hours or something like that.

Is an extra 5 minutes going to kill you? Do you need to stand up right now!?!?! Besides, that not why 99% of them stand

This. Most of them do it for some delusional thought that they are going to exit the plane immediately upon docking.

Can we please rename the thread "Things that piss you off. Whether or not they should"

I stand up immediately and get my **** together knowing full well I'll be waiting for the door to open, but that if I don't do this the masses will take forever around me and get in front of me. Its likely one will be so large that I'm blocked in my seat until the line moves, and then the soulless passengers will trap me there and all leer at me one by one as they exit and I stew in my quiet desperation, humiliation and torment.

Also, if you dont get to the absolute front youre stuck behind these Inefficients all the way through the tunnel as they Wheel their luggage double-wide. As soon as they get out of the tunnel they'll have to stop right in the way to fatfinger their phones, with all of their mememe too large carry on items in a huge pile, likely coughing in your face and farting all about.

beat: I've flown Southwest.


Another air travel one is when i see midgets who have decided that they need the extra legroom the exit row provides. seriously, **** YOU.

A number of grocery stores around my area have stopped providing the hand baskets, which sucks because that's the perfect size for 90% of my shopping trips. So now I have to choose between either wheeling around an unnecessarily large cart or just carry things in my hands. The only reason I can think for this change is to force people into using a big cart, subtly increasing the amount of stuff they end up buying. Businesses that intentionally make my experience worse in order to slightly boost sales piss me off, regardless of the scale.

I do my best to avoid these stores and vote with my dollars but it keeps getting harder.

When someone flops a set and gets it all in, and they need help because someone else flopped a straight or a flush. If the turn and river is a running pair, invariably someone will go, "Wow, runner runner. That's so sick." Tilts me a bit because I don't think this really qualifies as runner runner. To me, runner runner would imply that the player needed to catch something on the turn just to avoid drawing dead.

Just thought of one:

I usually wear jeans that are button fly. Say I'm playing poker and have to go take a leak...when I get to the urinal, I immediately undo my belt, unbutton my jeans, and get my business done. The action if unbuckling is 2nd nature now.

But rarely, I'm wearing pants that have a normal zipper. It doesn't need to be unbuckled or undone - only unzipped.

But I still unbuckle my belt when I approach the urinal without thinking about it, even though I don't need to.

Drives me crazy.

that should actually make you happy freewill.

I know, which is why it's in this thread.

That seems like quite a hassle for an operation that should take about 30 seconds. Is there any advantage to wearing button-up fly jeans over the other kind? I mean other than, you know, no risk of accidentally zipping up your junk.

Button-fly jeans piss me off.

I don't get it. What was the joke? Did she bring the right food but lied? Was the joke that she brought him beef and ketchup?
