you know what I hate?

mashedpotato · January 2012

when you're standing in line behind someone and they keep playing with their hair, like lifting it up into a ponytail and then flipping it back down. Do you know what I mean? It's just really irritating, I don't want your hair or anything in it in my face stop it! I just want to pull their hair and smack 'em on the head.

I hate people who insist on carrying large, pointy umbrellas perpendicular to the ground, especially when climbing stairs. That's impalement waiting to happen.

ribth · January 2012

I hate when people stand too close to me in line. Crowding me will not make the line go faster.

Occasionally, on my Chicago commute, a woman with dreads would sit in front of me on the train. She didn't play with them, but the fact they were dangling over my laps grossed me out.

boxerfan · January 2012

I hate people who don't follow appropriate elevator etiquette. If there are only two of us in there, don't stand directly in front of me. Opposite corners!! Everyone knows that.

People who laugh at how I walk right now.

People who ask how far along I am and then say "oh, you don't have much longer"

Sorry, mine are all very specific right now

I hate you for getting that damn song stuck in my head at 7:46 in the morning.

krisdi78 · January 2012

I hate when you're waiting for an elevator, train, etc and you're giving space for people to get off, yet there's always people who have to shove their way in front of you to get on first. I'm more irritated by this when I have the stroller and then we can't fit on. Wait your turn, b!tches.

It's pouring here, so luckily we don't have to go outside. They're just testing all the alarms and it's so intermittent. That's the worst part. It'll be quiet for 20 minutes, then HONKHONKHONK. HONKHONKHONK.

Word. I work on the 27th floor. And fire drills just enforce that in the event of a fire, I will be dead.

People who get of escalators and just stand there. People who honk at me the exact moment the light turns to green. People who give me dirty looks when I'm in a diner with a loud child at 5:30pm (it's not French Laundry. Just eat your damn sandwich and stop judging me).

Vinny2008 · January 2012

When we do drills, we have to walk down the stairs to a "safe floor." WTF is a safe floor? If the building is on fire, is that one floor, 27 stories up, magically not going to burn? I also hate walking in our stairwell. The stairs are metal grates, the kind you can see through. When there are a bunch of people on them, they vibrate and feel like they are going to collapse.

Ohhhhh, I HATE that. Also, people who honk at me when I don't turn right on red because they don't see the effing sign saying "NO RIGHT ON RED". Moron.

YES. I have another diner pet peeve because this happened last night. I asked for a diet coke, the waiter left and retuned like 10 mins later with my soda. Then I said, 'oh, I forgot to order a chocolate milk. Would you mind getting that' to which he sighed and said, "why didn't you ask that when you asked for the soda?!' I SAID I FORGOT. and there are like three occupied tables in the whole place. Do your damn job.

I have never had a wait person say something like that to me. I'm very pro wait person and do my best to not be difficult because I know they have to deal with a lot of assholes, but that would be enough to make me consider no tip.

applesandoranges · January 2012

random fire fact: In most commercial buildings the burn time on stair wells is 3-4 hours, so you have a lot of time to get out of the building. Also a "safe floor" is three floors below the floor on fire. The logic behind it is that fire burns up not down. (I just had to go to a seminar yesterday to get my fire marshal cert for my floor *dons bright orange reflective vest and whistle*)

HATE. I hate this so much. I think it's often not a case of them not seeing the sign, but rather that they don't give a shiit and would turn anyway, so YOU SHOULD TOO.

I also hate when there's heavy traffic and people go into an intersection anyway, KNOWING they'll be blocking it for the next person. Congratulations, jackass. You'll make it home 30 seconds sooner!

November, I would have been SO pissed. I'm like Buddha, I'm very forgiving of wait staff especially if they're trying. But that is just ridiculous.

yes! this happened to me recently, there was a lot of traffic and several cars pulled into the intersection, light turned green for me and I couldn't go across, this happend through 2 light cycles, I was pissed.

Novemberrocks · January 2012

Yeah, I'm generally very nice to wait staff - I waited tables so I can empathize with them. I'm so a very generous tipper. This particular place has really rude waitstaff. I try to kill 'em with kindness and always make eye contact, ask how they are doing, say please and thank you. But it never fails, someone always rolls their eyes, sighs, or argues with you if you ask for something.

Yes, yes, yes!! I actually had a woman behind me nudge my car with her car because I didn't have room to get through the intersection and wouldn't go through. WTF, b*tch? The light's about to turn and I'm not going to get stuck in the middle.

Rumor has it they made this illegal in Minnesota but I've never seen it enforced.

I hate hate hate idiots who speed up on purpose so that you can't merge in and have to slow way down to squeeze in behind them. What is so hard about EVERY OTHER CAR!? Tools. People can be SO deliberate about it too. I swear some people turn and sneer as they pass as if to say "HAHA SUCKER! YOU CAN'T MERGE!"

I have to take many deep breaths driving home. People are morons.

katie.i.do · January 2012

kiz, i remember that speed up to avoid anyone merging in front of you BS being particularly bad in the twin cities. drivers there are ANGRY and COMPETITIVE. between that and the staying-in-the-'this lane ends soon' lane-until-the-absolute-last second so you can jam in in front of everyone in rush hour traffic. like that constant bumblefuck on Hwy 10 near the showplace theater. omg.
