People who speed in parking lots. Not people who go a little over the speed limit, but people who treat a parking lot like it’s a regular road. It isn’t.
Icy sidewalks. I love to walk, and it gets awfully difficult every winter because people won’t clean their frigging sidewalks.
Politicians who would rather play politics than actually govern, and the fallout from their idiocy affects pretty much everyone in the world.
Bad drivers, and the entrenched systems that allow so many people who can’t successfully drive to continue to do so, endangering my loved ones and me.
“Vaguebooking”. It’s a Facebook status update that’s deliberately meant to be vague, thereby prompting worried friends to comment “What’s wrong?” “Everything okay?” etc.
Yes. I just read the other day that something like 18 people have been hit by cars in parking lots this year in my city. Just recently a woman was hit in a parking lot by a tow truck backing up and she died. I used that incident to show my youngest son with severe ADD that you can’t just wander parking lots aimlessly not paying attention- it’s as dangerous as the street!
Some of my own peeves:
Those bitches that work at my apartment manager’s office. They think that they have some kind of power and they way act and look at people makes me want to punch them in their smug bitch-ass faces.
People that come into my office without researching. They just know that they want medical marijuana, but when they find out the fees and the hoops they have to jump through for it, they get pissed at me. Look, assholes, I’m sorry that when you made your appointment, the operator didn’t say, “Oh, and by the way, not only do you have to pay our fee, but you have to pay the health department a buttload of money, too!” But your lack of investigating the details on something that *you *want is not my problem, so stop yelling at me and then slamming the door on your way out!
Drug addicts- you lying, thieving assholes have ruined things for everyone. You used to be able to have the benefit of the doubt if you needed to do something like return something without a receipt, or pay the rent a day or two late, but no longer. Now everyone is suspicious and you can’t get a break for anything in this world. Thanks, jerkwads!
Aaah, I feel better now.
The entire GOP candidate pool. While it has provided some great PALATR* moments, I find the whole pool creepy and sad. And creepy. I guess maybe I miss my boring old white guys and wish it were just them who were running.
*Hate to use the term but it means “point and laugh at the retard.”
I have one friend who uses FB mostly to whine. “I’m such a dork” “I’m so fat” “I’m such a geek”. She’s running a constant pity party wanting people to reassure her. She’s actually an attractive woman but she runs off most potential friends and all potential dates because she’s so needy.
While I’m bitching…
-people who yell “hey ref you suck” constantly at hockey games, starting when the refs skate out on the ice at the beginning of the game. At least wait until they make a bad call, you dweeb. You’re not exactly putting them on our side yelling at them from the get-go.
-people who let their children play on and run up and down the stairs during intermissions of games. #1, I need to use those stairs to get to the concourse. #2, if your fucking pwecious snoflake falls and hurts itself, you’re gonna be all mad at the Civic Center. Keep the rugrat in his seat.
-people who see empty seats in my section and decide to “come on down”. My section has exactly 18 seats. 12 of them are season ticket holders. If you try to sit in an empty seat on the first or second row you’d damned sure better have a ticket for that seat or we will call you out. I pay $24 a game for my seat. You’re not gonna pay $10 for upper level and coast down to my section.
Because the people who do this are never (in my 11+ years in this seat) well behaved. They’re usually the “hey ref you suck” type. And because if you want to pay for a $10 seat, that’s what you get. If you want an ice level seat, buy one.
The offenderati who try to make perfectly useful words socially unacceptable. Especially if they use the fucking word themselves, even if they so hate to do so.
In other words, because you’re a super-officious bitch who can’t mind her own fucking business.
I’m with SCL. It doesn’t matter of the seat is empty. It doesn’t matter if the seat has been empty for 15 years because the season ticket holder forgot he owns the seats. If you paid $10 for your seat, you don’t get to sit in the $24 seats. Period. I’ll call your ass out as well, especially if you are a jerk.
I’d call someone out for being a jerk whether it was their "rightful"seat or not. But why should I care if someone takes an empty seat? I’ve done it plenty of times (moving down, not acting like a jerk). Once in KC, we ended up right behind home plate. The stadium was about a third full. All those empty good seats going to waste. Pudge Rodriguez gave us a nod when I yelled, “Yo, Pudge!” Think about how disappointed he would have been if we hadn’t moved down.
On the opposite end of things, one of my top peeves are people who walk behind my BFT while I’m trying to back out of a parking space. I cannot see directly behind it, it should be obvious to anyone who drives that I cannot see behind it, and if I even tap you with it you are going to really get hurt.
And a very special Fuck You to the lady that let her shorter-than-my-tailgate kid run ahead of her - god DAMN I nearly shat my pants when you screamed. Yes, you were screaming at your kid to stop, but that didn’t help my heart rate any. Here’s a clue - it’s a parking lot, for vehicles of all sizes and shapes. If you actually like that kid, you are really lucky I am hyper-cautious. Sheesh.
Gah. Parking lots in general. Look, here’s a good rule to follow: If someone has their reverse lights on, do not walk behind their vehicle. I have lost count of how many times I’ve checked to make sure I was clear, started to back up, and then, oh hello! There’s a pedestrian that just darted behind my vehicle on her way to the shoe store or wherever. Why do people do this?! I can only assume that it’s a blithe assumption on their part that the mall is like Disney World and has been sanitized and made perfectly safe for their protection, so if I start to back into them, my safety feature will engage and they will magically not be hurt except I’M NOT MADE OF MAGIC, YOU DUMBFUCKS.
Oh yeah, the pedestrians in parking lots leave a lot to be desired, too. Between the idiots walking and the idiots driving, it’s a wonder any of us make it out alive.
