Question

One thing that drives me NUTS….

Ok, so…. I’m a back-of-the-lot parker. I park far away from the building I’m going into, and isolate myself in a wide open area, to avoid getting my car dinged up with runaway shopping carts, and even more so, other people’s car doors. I’m also IN the car a lot of the time, this isn’t just me parking and leaving, I’m doing shit on my phone or iPad, or eating, etc. Kinda want some semblance of privacy, or at least space, you know?

And it drives me absolutely crazy when some person (and obviously a like-minded person, which makes it all the more nonsensical and maddening), pulls into the space RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Just, like…. why? Where is the sense in that? Now I might ding your door, or you might ding mine. You can’t park ONE space over?

I’m in a lot right now outside of a hockey rink, some dude just did it. And pulled up TIGHT to me too. I should ding his door, lmfao. It’s his driver’s side that’s tight too, it’s not like he’s seeing wide open space on his side and just didn’t consider the other side. I don’t understand people, lmao🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Stupidity and ignorance. I can't stand people, strangers at a bar or restaurant, could be men or women, who are just complete idiots. Mention Syria or Suriname and their eyes glaze over. It's obvious they couldn't find those places on a map. Hell, they can't locate the Pacific Ocean on a map. Mention the stock or bond markets and their perceptions are downright hilarious. Mention fiscal or monetary policy and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Mention inflation or any other topic that deals with economics and they go silent. Mention philosophy, science, technology, or history and they are utterly lost. They can talk about food, weather, sports, cars, clothes, makeup, handbags, and that's about it.

So as a natural introvert, I simply refuse to interact with most people. It's painful to make small talk with people I just want to reach out and bitch slap. I suck at sitting there politely pretending to be interested in some meaningless conversation about nothing with people who have no idea how stupid they are.

I know, I know, I'm an asshole.

Those space-invading doofus noodles are about as considerate as a fart in an elevator! Next time one of those parking lot gremlins tries to snuggle up to your four-wheeled fortress, just blast 'em with your imaginary laser beams and watch 'em scurry away like cockroaches at a disco party! Your car deserves a royal buffer zone fit for a glitter-covered chariot, not some door-dinging dimwit's metal monster! Remember, you're the king of the asphalt jungle, and these clueless clowns are just peasants in your kingdom of wide-open spaces! So puff up your chest, wiggle your nose, and show 'em who's boss by drawing a magical forcefield around your car with sidewalk chalk! That'll teach those parking lot pirates a lesson they won't soon forget!

It is like an unspoken rule, at least in the US, that if there are tons of empty seats, urinals, or tons of empty spots where you are parking, you do NOT come and sit/park directly next to someone. It IS a social crime. It's the American bubble. Stay out!

I also absolutely hate people who park on the line or worse far over it. It's such an a-hole entitled thing to do especially like at the post office where I went today, where there were no spots left to park.

People sticking their used bubblegum everywhere after chewing it, drives me crazy, can't count the number of times I've stepped in the bubblegum on the floor. Especially back in school where they would litter the desks with it.

Also I hate the clacking sound high heel shoes make, finger tapping, anything like that when someone is idle but doesn't know to please stop making unnecessary noise...

I also park way out in the parking lot. It's good exercise.

What gets me upset is people driving through parking lots ignoring the lanes, just driving across the lot.

What also gets me is people doing the speed limit on the expressway/freeway when most other cars are trying to do 10 over. Actually, I guess that is illegal now, but only if there's a cop around to catch them.

That's frustrating.

Me: If I did self checkout you can be DAMN SURE I'm walking out of that store without showing you a receipt and I'll laugh and make eye contact the whole way out the door.

Trust me to buy it? GREAT! Now it's mine and I don't owe you a muthafucking thing security dude. Call the cops & GFY!

Those with no consideration for anyone else. They are endlessly behaving this way from waking to sleep. You notice it isn't actually a single thing such as parking once, but a chain of selfish obnoxious behavior.

That does suck Somebody pulled next to me so close that I could not get my door opened and I had to open the back door and crawl up to the drives seat. I wanted to let the air out of one of his tires but my wife would not let me.
