OOT weekly thread: minor things that infuriate you

Restaurants that sing Happy Birthday while you're trying to have a meal in peace an quiet.

every time i want to make a right turn on a red light, there's a car in the right lane waiting to go straight. had they positioned their vehicle to the left side of the lane, i'd be able to go by them on the right and make the turn. instead, they're squarely in the middle of the lane, which means i have to wait until the light turns green.

it's not even that these people are inconsiderate. rather, they simply don't possess the intelligence that's required to process what's happening around them and how their actions are affecting me, even after experiencing this intersection situation 100,000 times. not once has the thought popped into their microbrain that "hey, maybe if i move a bit to the left, the car behind me with their blinker on could go by me and get on with their travels/day/life".

just once, i'd like to see one of these idiots get t-boned by a bus in the intersection while i'm making my right turn 5 minutes later than i should have been able to. (at slow speed i guess, i'm not savage enough to want to see them killed, even though that would be great for the gene pool, but i'd enjoy watching their vehicle get [censored] up at least)

Sort of related to the question mark drivers, people who cut left turns way too tightly onto a 5 lane road. That middle lane is not for you, douchebag. MSPaint explains everything better:

Completely agreed, common courtesy. Also a thankyou if you hold a door for someone, pull out a chair, let someone obv in a rush get ahead of you in line. Basic good manners should apply.

I will freely admit I have no idea what level El D is on here.

Mine is when forum mods wander over to another forum and create a thread identical to another thread that just took place a while ago and I can't tell what level we're on bc that particular mod is full of levelly goodness. It just really grinds my gears.

also, it infuriates me that we don't say 'grinds my gears' more often. ITS A GREAT PHRASE PEOPLE.

I hate trying to navigate door opening crap with my girlfriend/random idiots. I swear to god every time I try to enter a store or a restaurant with my girlfriend one of the following happens:

1. The door I try to open for her is locked, and then I can't open the other door because she's in the way or I end up doing that weird arm at an angle somewhere over her head thing.

2. I'm actually smart enough to get the door open, and 87 people dash through the door like I'm a [censored] doorman. They never say thank you either.

3. We get to the door just as some random guy is leaving. This is the worst. He sees my girlfriend and holds the door open for her, she walks through, and then we do this weird awkward shuffle because I just want him to walk through the door outside, maybe giving the door a little tap so I can catch it on his way out. But I guess he feels like he should continue holding the door, even though he technically reached the door first and has right of way because we always stand there staring at each other comfortably for like 3 seconds until I finally dash through the door feeling like an [censored] but anxious to get the standoff over.

This is a legitimate "fun" topic. When he was carrying on with that "movies which start with the letter 'S'" or whatever, that was a ridiculous topic which about fifty posters took way too seriously.
