People who cut in line or fail to even notice there is a line. This is a peeve shared by AksarbeN and myself. We discussed it already.

Happened again tonight at a pulbic funtion where there are only two bathrooms, one designated for men and one for women. They are identical otherwise. When there is a line, all bets are off. Am I right? If you disagree, do you dare disagree when I am in such a line of mostly women, the men's comes open and be the that man butts his way to the front to use the men's room. Not a good plan. Not good at all.

People who dawdle about at traffic lights instead of getting the hell through them, resulting in about 5 cars getting stuck back at the lights who would have got through on green if the moron up front had got their act together. Grrrrr.

If there is a line at a bathroom and I cannot wait, time to go outside in the parking lot!

Yes, I have done it!

Yeah, I've done that, too. But it's not that easy any more.

Wet Blankets.
Ever been really, really happy with life? Full of vim and vigor? Ready to take on the world? No urgent problems, other than the typical? Loving life?

THEN....along comes that web blanket. Always down, always whining, trying to spread seeds of discontent.
Run, Forrest, Run!

HUm, bathroom issue - I can't stand to go into a men's bathroom...well maybe if it is a nice place ...nay, it's the eeeeeeeeeeewwww factor.

I hate it when people punch it to get through an intersection on an orange light.

I hate "downer" people.

How about it you’re the only one waiting in line and someone comes up and wants to cut in before you, would you give up your “next” and let someone else with a greater need go first?

I’ve often given up my spot at a checkout line to allow someone who was rushed go ahead of me.

I remember in grade school when they had all the kids line up to get a vaccination ~ I would stay in line and as it moved forward I would step out of line to get a drink of water and then return to the back of the line ,,,,,,, hoping that they would run out of needles or vaccine.
