dude in the public bathroom who is making a huge production about his hands not touching anything. like kicking the sink on and waiting for someone to open the door before exiting.

There were two old guys next to each other doing the hands on hips while pissing at a urinal thing at the maryland house rest stop last night. I always find that so weird.

Yep. Also, we work in a really old building in philadelphia, and when it was converted from brownstone apts into office space, 1 shower was left there. so he rides into work, then showers.

People here drive in the left passing lane barely doing the speed limit, or under it. Drives me fucking insane.
Piss off.

When you're at the grocery store, and they ask for your shopper's card, and you stop and take 10 minutes to try and find it. Don't act surprised that the cashier asked you for it.
Piss off.

People who are in the far right lane that pull up to a red light that aren't about to take that right hand turn. Thus you must wait behind this prick till the light turns green.

This is the worst when the other lanes to the left are completely open. You fucking assholes.

OK, but did you leave your toothbrush and toiletries on the sink in a public bathroom all day?

people at the checkout at the grocery store who wait until the cashier asks them for their discount card and their credit/debit card. you can swipe them while they're bagging, ffs.

actually, except for tar-jay** around here, exactly the opposite is true. My pet peeve is stores whose setup DOESN'T let you swipe before checkout is complete*. FFS POS programmers- let's get some efficiency into play here.

* - unless you're implying that they've completed the checkout process and have moved on to bagging. I'm talking about swiping while they're still scanning.

**- I'm a big fan of the efficiencies built into Target. You can swipe your card, enter your PIN, all while checkout is still going on. Then, when the cashier hits 'done', the receipt spits out and you're on your way. And, the way the stores are laid out- no incoming/outgoing cross traffic, and there's no place in the store where it's not certain where the merchandise is paid for yet. And they have expediters during busy times, pointing you to the proper line, and calling for cashier help if they start falling behind. Someone in that chain has very good ideas.

***- BJ's (wholesale, pervs) especially bugs me. when you pay with credit, they spit out two receipts- one for you, and the other to sign and return. so which one do they spit out first?? YOURS. So instead of signing their receipt while yours is printing, you have to wait for both to be complete to sign, thus holding things up even more. AND, when you are shopping tax-exempt, the cashier has to hit the 'tax exempt' button before scanning EACH and EVERY item. The height of inefficienty.

627 empty spaces in this lot so, yeah, you should totally spend two minutes poorly backing into that spot.
