The non-political things I really don't like thread

Sorry, Mona. It was a real hard gig.

Have a bran muffin, and drink more fluids.

ARCO stations in California, for one.

I hate people who stop at the end of moving elevators after they step off. Get out of the way!

And worse, pull into a parking lot and stop, not knowing where to go.

Meanwhile, my ass end is sticking out into the street cause I followed them in.

Grownups who jog/run in the street, when there are perfectly good sidewalks on either side.

Worse, people who “jog” in the street while pushing a baby stroller.

Give me a perfectly good sidewalk, and I will run on it. Problem is, most aren’t. Cracked, uneven pavement, tree roots, slippery leaves, dips - sidewalks don’t get the maintenance streets do. The number of times I’ve face-planted on the sidewalk outnumbers street falls by 3:1. Given that I:

• Wear an LED vest that flashes in different colors;

• Don’t run with earbuds in;

• Only run on residential roads, facing into traffic; and

• Am always scanning for cars in front and behind me, and move over when necessary;

makes running on the street a far safer proposition for me than running on a sidewalk. Not to mention those hardcore stroller-pushing runners. I gotz mad respeck for those guys and gals.

I don’t like guys that carry around a gallon jug of water at the gym. Douche-bag.

Well, what are they supposed to do? Carry around the 5 gallon jugs? Those things get heavy you know.

@digs

And probably get mistaken for a store employee

I used to have a blue polo that is the exact shade of blue that Wal-Mart and some other stores use. I used to get stopped a lot by people asking me where such and such was. Being very familiar with my local Wally World I’d happily tell them where it was.

@Bumbazine

People, including little people, who scream, when they’re happy, excited, or for any fecking reason. I don’t need or want to hear EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
every time somebody does something. Really I don’t.

It kind of scares me how much I hate people who do this. They sound as if they are being murdered and I wish they would just die.

ETA: Not little kids. But people old enough to know better.

Ok, I give up! What exactly is offensive about a gallon jug of water?

Anybody know? Is it how they’re carrying it? That it’s too much water? Too little?

Non gym rats need more context please!

3. The way the Giants are playing this season.

Oh, Gawd, me too. How can a team that’s got Crawford and Posey and Madison Fucking Bumgardner on it continue to suck that bad for a whole entire season?

[Graymalkin]

Johnny Cash, Bohemian Rhapsody, and BBC news announcers NPR shoves on to finish out the hour. Can’t stand.

[koeeoaddi]

Neutral colored cars. Doesn’t anyone like colors anymore?

[TokyoBayer]

People who can’t do basic math yet work as cashiers. Yes, there actually is a reason I’m giving you the amount I am.

If this were some stranger on the street I could see not being up on it, but this is your job.

Slippery leaves only fall on the sidewalks, and magically stay out of the streets?

Not to mention those hardcore stroller-pushing runners. I gotz mad respeck for those guys and gals.

Pushing a stroller in the street is borderline reckless endangerment. Streets are where the cars are driving.
