Small acts that signal to strangers you are TA

Talking on the phone while on the treadmill at the gym, in an elevator, or on an airplane before takeoff.

I can live with that. I think it's worse to get a message from an old friend, sounding like they want to reconnect, and then it's actually a bait and switch and they try to sell you something!

Standing up and rushing the aisle as soon as the plane lands.

On cold blustery days standing in a doorway, holding the door open to talk to somebody inside the shop

Arguing with customer service reps or cashiers at a store

Letting your dog run off leash in a park

Taking your dog to a school playground to play in the fenced in field

90% of the time they’re TAs or their company is. If there’s a reason to argue typically it’s because the customer is getting dicked over in some way.

I got a scammy DM like this from an old friend in the middle of my very close relative’s funeral, thinking it was a well wishes of some sorts, but nope it was for beach body. Phone turned off and immediately blocked.

Tailgating other drivers
Not using your turn signal

Spitting your gum out anywhere but trash

Leaving a mess on the toilet seat. Either sit down or clean up after yourself.

Not offering your seat on bus/metro to someone in greater need than you.

Everyone is just dropping off or picking up, park in a parking space and walk in like the rest of us.

People who park themselves for hours at a table in a café and proceed to take loud work calls and/or attend Zoom meetings, shouting into the phone or mic like they are in their damn office. There are always men doing this at Northside Social in Falls Church. Serious lack of social skills.

+1,000. Bonus points for “all companies are MLMs!! Walmart has managers!!” and “don’t you want to help a Mama pay for her daughter’s dance lessons or her son’s baseball?” Gag.

I worked at a restaurant in a business district in college and we had dudebro corporate Chads who would buy a cup of coffee or a bagel and then spend all day conducting “meetings” and “interviews” with a rotating cast of characters at the table.

Judgemental people like you.

What to me is a TA, judging others without offering to help... i.e. the grocery cart. Maybe someone has trouble walking, breathing, etc. and could use some help. A simple, is there anything I can do to help and returning the cart if it bothers you so much would make you a far better person than judging them.
