I remember you posting this and I think of it every time I'm on the escalator at the Frankford Terminal. That place feels like death.
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

They have these signs inside some trains. I love them.

Do you think people should walk down the right side of the street too?

I get irritated when people do that on steps or in hallways too.

When I'm riding my bike or walking on a trail I always stay on the right. I always see these people approaching me in the opposite direction with that look on their face wondering which one of us is going to move. It ain't gonna be me. Same rules apply as for driving as far as I'm concerned.

i had a bit of a standoff while attempting to enter through the correct door of a wawa yesterday.

I'M NOT HOLDING THE DOOR FOR YOU, DICK

there's two doors to most public places for a reason, folks.
Fine. You wanna act like you're two? I'll act like I'm one.

How about when you go to a restaurant and they have the area where you fill your drinks, get napkins, forks, etc. and the people there take up the whole space and take forever to get everything they need, completely oblivious that there are other people waiting. It shouldn't take that long and you definitely don't need to take up all that space.

I've mentioned this before, but the people who get up to the counter to order their food and don't know what they want. Or ask all these stupid questions about the food. People who have kids with them are the worst. Last week at Chipotle I was behind a family that had four kids with them and it literally took 10 minutes for them to order and get their food. How about letting the ONE PERSON BEHIND YOU go ahead of you while you and your bratty kids make up your minds.

The person who follows you out to your car in the parking lot, waiting for you to get in and leave when there's spaces to park like 3 spots down from where you are. How fucking lazy do you have to be?

I don't care whether the people on the escalator are walking on the left or the right, so long as I can walk up or down them if I want to. In America the convention is you stay right, pass left, be it on a highway or an escalator. Move out of my fucking way, lazy, fat, pre diabetic gross person.

i love when white people order their chipotle in spanish, or say things like "queso" instead of cheese, or "guac-a-mole-ayyyy!". the workers really are impressed, i can tell it.

People talking on their cell phone while driving. A big pet peeve of mine, probably because I nearly lost my life in a very severe accident caused when a lady ran a red light she didn't notice cuz she was on the phone.

If you're implying logical fallacy, bite me. I have not a single pain free day in the fifteen years since (some days to the point of longing for the sweet relief death will bring), and it essentially cost me my professional musician career. I have reason for the ire. At least I got to ride in a helicopter (so I was told, I wasn't aware of it, being unconscious and all). I also have reason for the "distraction" belief because her speed was estimated over twice the limit, and I was the fourth car through the interesection (of which there was a line of stopped cars in the left lane of her travel). So she was not aware of her speed nor that she went through an intersection. She was more focused on the conversation than on driving.

I never got hurt by an asshole on the phone, but I agree with PiP. Fuckers who talk on the phone while driving are loathsome fuck wads who deserve jail.
