OOT weekly thread: minor things that infuriate you - Page 19

Last night I was looking for a parking space, driving down an aisle. See the one directly opposite the end is open, pull to the end of the aisle. There is a car stopped on the cross-aisle, no blinker on. Since he's stopped with no blinker on, I pull straight into the empty spot. Dude gives me the finger and peels out.

Am I the jerk?

I'm as non-religious as they come but I have no idea why this would actually piss you off.

I dunno, it just really [censored] annoys me, especially when Albert Pujols does it.

Because it says "Look at me, I'm religious and righteous, giving glory to God on national TV!" You're supposed to keep that stuff on a low profile.

Okay on the subject of the original post. What is the correct gesture I should make for my recent event.

I am driving a 27' uhual truck with a 15' car transfer thing at the end. I previously have never driven anything bigger than a minivan a few times. I'm also relatively a bad driver (no accidents, but too many close calls to consider myself a good driver). So I'm rounding a small street and am about to hit a car with my car transfer as it swings out a little bit. I don't even realize it and keep on driving (I'm probably going about 4 mph). The car has to honk and pull in reverse for me to get by. What gesture is appropriate for me to make? Do I finish the turn and get out and thank him (no other traffic will be held up)? Thankful wave out the window? A few toots and a wave?

Perhaps by being egregiously stupid and attention-wh*rish on its face. No crime in it, but it is perverse.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

WRT to parking space stalking.

If I see somebody waiting, I'll give them a head shake, and if they don't move, I just move... very... slowly... getting out of the space. Especially if the lot isn't that crowded and they're just lurking for my space because it's closer.

What is worse is being stuck behind one of these stalkers. Even if you are willing to park far away, you are now waiting because some douche is stalking. Then if Dids is f'ing with him (as he should) you are being f'ed with by extension, making you more likely to kill the bastard stalker.

minor thing that infurate's me...attention whores with ipods (mostly 15 year old girls)

while walking down the street, or maybe sitting on a bus stop bench they hold it out as if to say "LOOK WORLD! I HAVE AN IPOD!" i saw one girl in the mall, sitting on a bench, headphones on, and holding her ipod out. she was actually looking at every person, expecting a reaction. i wanted to snatch it from her.

and yes i had one at one point, but someone stole it from me ='(

i prefer the superior sound of my sony mp3 player. ipods are fun, easy to use and great products, but i'm not looking to go back.
