And drivers who speed out of their driveway

There is a confluence of problems here. LED headlights are stupidly bright, but if they’re aimed correctly and the headlights aren’t too high up, they’re not as big an issue generally.

But the arrival of LED headlights coincided with cars getting tall as fuck. There are pickup trucks whose headlights are nearly as high up as my head. Which just compounds the problem, because even if those lights are aimed mostly correctly, they’re still gonna blind people.

It’s infuriating.

I have moved carts before, with their owners right there. Usually they apologize, so maybe people are just not aware of their surroundings, or maybe I’m a 6’3” big guy with a pissed off look on his face. Could be either

One time I was working my way down the bread/dairy aisle at a grocery store. It’s one of the wider aisles there, if 2 people pulled their carts off to the side, a third person could squeeze down the middle as long as those first two took a little care to not stick out into the aisle too much

Of course they never do

So there I am coming down the middle of the aisle, trying to squeeze between some idiot agonizing over which container of sour cream they should buy, and some moron who can’t decide on a loaf of bread who are stopped directly across from each other, uttering plenty of “'scuze me/pardon me/lemme just squeeze through heres” and of course neither of them move an inch

I nearly make it, but do tap one of their carts a bit in the process

I give her a quick “sorry” and continue on my way.

Then she yells down after me with a very indignant “excuse you”

Lady, you were the one blocking the aisle without any situational awareness, and I already apologized, fucking die mad about it.

I’m with you on the shower heads. I rip out the flow restrictors before I even install one.

I really hate advertisements. It seems the more I block them, the more offensive they are when one gets through.

Bruh YouTube ads feel like I was called every slur ever made and pissed on by Hitler when my premium expired. Before then, an ad was just another ad.

I really hate that California dropped all new shower heads down to 1.8 gpm

never heard of this, but wow I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I buy a shower head (which is probably never because of how much those things last, but good to know anyways)

Sounds like you need an ice cream eating partner.

True true. Cars are outdated, fast reliable frequent 24/7 public transport is the future. Also not random

And usually all the cars around them had to wait six years because they weren’t aware of the upcoming turn (busy intersections).

So generally I use turn signals correctly. But there are a few times I don’t for particular reasons.

If I am sitting at the rightmost lane at a busy intersection and intend to turn right, I honestly tend to not turn on my right turn signal. The ambiguity of whether or not I’m turning or going straight helps keep assholes behind me from honking at me. I’ve found that an unfortunately large amount of people get impatient when someone in front of them is turning right on red onto a busy road. They honk and act like assholes because they want you to dangerously jump into traffic and not wait for a clearing so they can go sooner.

I know I could turn on my turn signal and just let an an asshole lay on their horn, but honestly I really truly prefer to avoid that.

Happens all the time yeah.

It’s more that you’re not wearing anything…

Can I just copy and paste this as my answer?

You’re talking about Gen Z trends.

Millennials are pretty well aware that they are fucked unless they were born lucky, we’re all just wallowing silently in our depression while wishing we could afford a house.

I had a boss who would send audio messages constantly. I’d be having a conversation with him, he’d get a text message on his phone, stop talking to me to mess with this phone, do a voice recording, mess it up cause he’d whisper it so others wouldn’t hear him (we still totally could), repeat it, rinse and repeat until he got it right, send it, then would ask me what we were talking about.

I’m convinced people who use voice messages have no situational awareness and are potentially psychopaths

put the phone to my ear

Clearly you would look more normal if you blast it on the speaker while holding the phone in front of you, like everyone else. /s

I just ignore them completely. They don’t exist for me. Depending who it is, I can say “I didn’t have time to listen to it but next time if you text/message I can probably get back to it faster.”

It’s so inconsiderate too. If you want to use your voice then use voice-to-text and send a text message.

Someone does this in a group chat I’m in, it drives me crazy.

I’m not a hater but I understand the sentiment. I only exchange audio with very few people I feel comfortable with we both want to listen to our shit for that long, and I never expect a quick reply.

Randoms or new acquaintances sending audios without asking permission first usually annoy me.

I’ll make one exception for audio messages: the other person being in a situation where they cannot easily type the message, but it’s not an emergency. Hands full, driving, inclement weather, etc. I take it as an implicit “this message is important, but not drop-everything-else critical.”
