The golf gallery equivalent of this is when a pro skanks it into the crowd and people run like spazzes to try to claim "dibs" on a good position by the ball. It's stupid to be a 40-year-old beer-gutted man lumbering over to a stray shot with all your energy just to maybe be in the second or third row of a shot by some random pro.

i'm glad you mentioned this, because I'm convinced that there are [censored] out there that, when Tiger hits a wayward tee shot, will seriously give up their bodies to help keep his ball in play/not in a ridiculous jailed lie. I [censored] hate those [censored].

People who are either walking, jogging, or riding a bike on the side of the road NEXT TO THE SIDEWALK.

It's illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk in my home town

running on the sidewalk is horrible on the knees. running on asphalt is much better.

I always make it a point to OVERWAVE (like way more overzealous than necessary) because I understand how annoying it is when people don't wave after being polite to them on the road.

I am in the overwave camp.

I hate it enough that I have begun considering whether or not I should screen who I let in front of me. There may be patterns to be discerned. Certain cars or physical characteristics may mean a wave is less likely.

Here's a recent one from playing live. People who don't look at their cards before it's their turn, rather than ahead of time. I realize that some people do this because they are watching everyone else look at their cards, but most people don't do that. They just wait until it's their turn, *then* gather their cards, then finally take a slow peek. Then they fold or call with some kind of ridiculous flair that they think makes them look cool.

Televised golf is basically unwatchable for me because of the [censored] in the gallery who scream "GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!!" the instant Woods or Mickelson or whoever hits the ball. I want to reach through the TV and strangle those guys.

I don't look at my cards until it's my turn because I'd rather my opponents don't know anymore information than they have already if they're acting before me.
