    Interactions like this:

    Me: "Hey, do you know how to do X?"
    Person: "Yes, I do. I can show you how to do it."
    Me: "Awesome. Can you show me now?"
    Person: "No, I can't do it now. Later though, for sure."
    Me: "Great, thank you."
    *A long time passes*
    Me: "Do you think we could do X now?"
    Person: "Oh, I don't know how to do that."

    This happens a lot with "team members" at work. If you don't know how to do X, that's fine. But why lie? What is the ****ing motivation for that? Why waste both of our time?

    People that hold doors for you when you are slow walking and still a relative lengthy distance from the door. WTF just go the **** in, I can open my own door you courteous MF.

    People that can't leave at "Good Morning" and have to ask "How are you doing" even though they don't mean it. Just say good morning back ****ers.

    3. People that speed up and/or look irritated when you hold the open door for their slow crippled ass when they’re still a relative lengthy distance from the door. WTF it’s a beautiful day and I don’t mind waiting to help. I know you can open your own door but I’m a courteous MF.

    4. People who won’t engage in conversation after “Good Morning". I actually do care and like talking to randos. You never know what you’re going to find out or what kind of friend you’ll make.

    Strangers who say “how are you doing?” and you respond like “great…how are you?”. Then,, crickets. Say something. Makes the experience insincere.

    People who litter annoy me. The types who are too damn lazy and disrespectful to just throw their trash in the nearest trash can. The types who just set their trash on the ground outside their car, toss it from their car, or just leave it on the beach, grass, sidewalk, street, parking lot, or wherever they are.

    I've learned not to even trust turn signals anymore. You have the types who forget they are on, or turn them on way before they make their turn. I would have been hit many times if I had seen their signal and proceeded to cross the street.

    To be fair, I hadn't seen that thread in about 3 weeks.

    This is probably my #1 grievance in life. Whatever happened to Don't Mess With Texas?

    I have not had the hiccups since I was probably around 16 years old. Not. Even. Kidding.
