Things that make you irrationally angry

Even if there are open spaces they will still block traffic while their precious private school attending kilt wearing kid gets their bagel and sbux. And no, I’m not jealous. I live in the same shopping center neighborhood and my kid also attends private school. It’s the entitlement.

I live in VA but I agree. When you are in a parking lot, you park your car and then go inside. You don’t sit in the fire lane. I wish a cop would just park there and issue tickets to people who did that. A few weeks or so and the problem would be solved for a while.

I can't understand how people with long hair don't put their hair up to exercise or go to the beach or ride on a boat or any windy situation. I always think they are more concerned with their appearance than with practicality.

The wind one makes no sense though because if I don't put my hair up for wind, it will look awful. AND be uncomfortable.

People who let their kids be loud when they’re not supposed to be loud. I get that your kid may not intuitively know when to be quiet, but if they’re loud somewhere like a theater; you need to instruct them to be quiet or whisper. It’s your literal job to teach them to be part of society. So many parents don’t do this and it destroys the experience for so many.

I used to find back-in parkers extremely annoying, but now I live in an apartment where I literally cannot get into my parking space most of the time unless I back in (usually because other people park where they are not supposed to be, making it impossible for me to angle in correctly going in the front way.

As a result, I've been back-in parking for a while now and have gotten good and efficient at it (back up cameras make it super easy, too), and now I get annoyed when people lazily front-in park in such away that they aren't in the middle of the space, because it's much easier to position your car correctly in the space if you back in, and it really does not take that much time -- a few extra seconds to pull forward before you back up.

I do think you’re the exception though, most people take much longer and they aren’t all that centered in the space. I believe that you’re good at it, but I don’t believe it’s more efficient for everyone.

Along these lines, a post (usually on a Facebook group) for advice, followed by “Positive responses only.” No, honey, you’re the one in need of advice. You’ll take what it given.

Apropos of nothing, I get very irritated with people who are like "this is just who I am, take it or leave it" and then get mad when you leave it. You gave that ultimatum to yourself, dumbass.

I mean, watching anyone park poorly is painful (or funny, depending on whether I'm watching them out a window with no skin in the game, or they are in my way and I have to wait for them to complete a 72 point turn in order to pass). I don't see that many terrible back in parkers I guess? Usually people who do it know how to do it.

The one I see all the time is the bad parallel parking, which is especially frustrating living in a city where almost all street parking is parallel. There is a technique. Learn it, or don't drive.

Explain? Why would you consider it as anything but complimentary

For one thing, it's an overused cliche. Secondly, many 'rock stars' are completely f*cked up in terms of drug use failed relationships, etc.

Thirdly, why is it specifically ROCK star and not some other genre of music? I just find it to be an annoying cliche.

My daughter refuses to put her hair in a ponytail for basketball games and it drives me nuts

I spent YEARS as a kid in speech therapy trying to fix exactly this problem and I just can’t say them correctly. It makes me sad that this is something that makes someone else irrational angry. If I could change how I say my ch and sh sounds I would in a heartbeat!

There are people whose jobs it is to return the carts. I do return it but, I don't get the rage.

Because they don’t stay put and wind up dinging cars. How have you not ever seen that? Why have cart corrals then? They send baggers out to collect carts because lazy people refuse to do the decent thing and put them in the corral that they have for that exact purpose, not because they’re dying to employ cart returners. GMAFB with this.

What a gross entitled attitude. These are the people that throw garbage on the floor because it helps employ janitors

Why?

We found the reason for so much road rage.

Really?
If the slow car is changing lanes to the right of PP, that's great and probably not what happens.
If they are changing to the left and it's a passing lane, they don't belong there at all.
If they change to right in front of PP in her lane, they are driving dangerously.

I don't like it when vehicles cluster in a group on the highway (often around a semi, which makes it worse)--that's just asking for trouble. Best to hang back for the time being until the cars spread apart.

People who have multiple cars in a single lane driveway, blocking the sidewalk, parked fender almost touching fender, so I have to walk all the way around.
