when people enter the bathroom that i am alone in and choose the urinal right next to the one I'm using and attempt to strike up some pointless conversation with me; there are plenty of urinals to choose from and I don't feel like having a chat while in mid-piss for christ sake


also make at least some effort not to wave your junk around for all to see, thanks

Parents who take their children of the opposite gender into public restrooms with them when the children are obviously old enough to go to the bathroom by themselves.

Seriously, let your 9 year old be a big girl and go potty in the women's room already.

Cashiers who don't say hi to me. Of course I say hi and ask how they're doing. A tiny percentage just ignore me. Like wtf you think you're better than me? You work the 4am shift at wal-mart!

Herpes commercials. I'm having a nice evening enjoying my KFC famous bowl watching CSI and then all of a sudden some chick comes on tv and says "I have genital herpes." [censored] gross. Use google.

At the airport:
Arriving at the luggage belt just to find those dim-witted idiots blocking the entire belt even though there's nothing on it, yet. And the absolute experts take their luggage trollies right UP TO the belt to block even more people who might want to get through to get their stuff.

Also, traveling groups. I don't know how they do it, but they always manage to block some passage way or doors preferably the exit. You can have 15k sq ft of open space, they'll always group right in front of the exit. And if there should happen to be a 5 inch gap where other travelers could get past, they'll put some baggage there. Just to make sure.

People who start to walk across the road right as the orange "when this is solid, don't cross the street hand" is about to stop blinking. Then, when the traffic light turns green, they refuse to quicken their pace, instead making every car sit there and wait while they slowly plod to the other side. They act like the world revolves around them, oblivious to what is actually happening.

This happens every day on my commute home through Boston, and is most aggravating at this one particular stop where the road is 4 cars wide. I'm actually kind of surprised no one has been hit yet, although this morning a clueless fat lady actually let out a little yelp when a bus started inching towards her.
