Right except those people dgaf about lane etiquette. Right lane, far left lane, single road lane, **** your lanes they’re driving at their speed on their personal road. Another annoyance, people “merging” onto a highway (especially one without your own merge lane) at school zone speeds.
The lack of basic common sense and knowledge with these gen whatevers. I was not able to locate pie crusts the other day at HEB. I ask the (18-20ish) person at the register. She asks me how to spell it. Right. Last night I found out my wife didn’t know that the slang “sus” as in, “your common sense is sus”, is just short for a real word “suspect”.
Clipboard Guy walking through the neighborhood. These guys come and knock on my door every day. My home office is right by the front door and they can literally see me working and not answering the door. And I don't care if they see me. I'll actually look them in the eye and still not answer the door. To me, that would be a good clue that I'm not answering the door for a reason. Or the ones that come harass you when you're working in the yard. GO AWAY.
Hey! We’re doing this once in a lifetime deal to pest control, for just $39.99 well spray your house from head to toe with a bunch of unknown chemicals that carry minimal to low human carcinogen risk!
Aw man, I talk to all the salespeople, especially the ones selling Jesus. Haven’t bought anything in years, though.
People who still call you and ask for directions to your house because they're lost. What is this, 1988? I can't even tell you the street names to get to my house. Because I don't have to know them. Waze? Google Maps? Put my address in your GPS and do what it tells you. Come on, man!
This does not ever happen to me in the unlivable hellscape (TM) of San Francisco, but we do often find them on street corners. "Do you care about exploding gay baby whales? You do, right? Don't you have a minute for them?" Me: "That's not the real question. The real question is 'will I stop to talk to a random stranger about some random topic they're on about?' And the answer is NO."
Soft people - as I get older I have less and less patience for soft people. I try very hard to be nice to them or not point out just how entirely useless they are. If you are a male, and if you do not live in downtown - you should know how to mow the lawn and do very basic car and home repairs.
I would say narcissists, big ego people, and people that show no empathy to others are the things that annoy me the most these days.
I don't understand this one, and I say that as a "handy" guy who does nearly all household repairs, including plumbing and electrical. Human societies have been moving more and more toward specialization and away from generalists. We used to have independent farmers -- even just 80 years ago -- who could and had to do everything for themselves. My father's generation did most of their own car repair. I do not, and in fact, for many 21st century cars, you literally can't do your own repair with tens or hundreds of thousands of $ in specialized equipment. There are now students of mine who haven't learned to drive and have no interest in it, and they may just get away with it.
These days you have to have a degree in computer science to work on a car. Not like the old days when you just needed a set of tools, shady tree and a free Saturday.
I know someone that is in graduate school that cannot read a map. I offered to teach them and was told it was a waste of time. They didn't know how to drive and asked me to drive them to downtown Chicago. I told them to get an Uber and they said it wasn't fair I wouldn't drive them 60 minutes to downtown Chicago.
