When people don’t put the quotation mark outside the period. I’m serious.

Maybe PP is British

Oh, so it's "PLAHNT-based food."

Like Mark Steyn who's Canadian but uses a fake British accent

People who cross in the middle of a busy street when there's literally a signalized crosswalk just 20 feet away.

People who double park when there's literally an open spot 20 feet up.

People who throw their trash on the floor when there's literally a can 20 feet away.

I'm convinced a lot of people are just completely oblivious.

Wtf? Paying that much and there’s no paper menu? What if my phone is dead or I’m on an important call?

Go outside, no one wants to hear your phone call.

If I wanted to use an app, I’d use Uber Eats. I’m not using an app while at an establishment .

Asking “when are you having baby number 2”?

OMG, this made me laugh out loud!

Me too. No lie!

I also don’t get people who eat clandestinely clawing their muffin or apple out of paper bags and won’t show off the food. Weirdo.

Acting like the food is some great mystery and has to be concealed while devouring

Then you hang up grandma.

Speaking of grandmas, my mom can't read a whole menu on her iPhone screen.

Thankfully most servers know right away to just bring a real menu for her because she is elderly. Then we all ask for real menus. It works out even if it annoys the servers.

Ha. I had my one at 38. I still have coworkers asking me about this. I'm 49. Oh, there's still surrogacy! People, I'm 49 and work with you in our low level government office. Even if I wanted to start again at 50 how are we paying for this? Get some damn manners and accept "nope, just the one kid for us" as a good solid valid answer.

There was a guy in our med school class who went to Australia for 18 mos and came back talking like Crocodile Dundee. He was brutally roasted for it, including have a character in our class play wander onto the stage every now and then and exclaim, "Good on ya!", and "Crikey!". He was unamused. I found it amusing.

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

NP, but I feel rage because you assume that their jobs are solely to pick up carts from the lazy people who cannot figure out how to return them to the cart corral.

I imagine you’re the same one who supports the entitled jerks who complain when there are no carts available
In the store, because you think all these people (often one person) has to do is push the carts back into the store.

These are often the same associates who are helping with big items, with carry outs, with assisting big volume customers (low group homes for example) with their orders, with backing up loss prevention, with cart maintenance, with.. doing their darned jobs which isn’t limited to collecting 200 carts around the parking lot that were left by entitled and lazy people who can’t just follow the rules and put them in the cart corral because they feel too good to do so.

Yeah, they’ll end up collecting them because it’s “their job”, but their job is so much more that supporting other people’s a** hattery.

I do return my cart so calm down.

People who have poor walking etiquette. On sidewalks, in stores, etc.

I have no problem shoulder checking people hard, if you're walking 3 across on the sidewalk.

I'm a small woman. I read this and it really resonated:

I started by just not getting out of men's way as a default. I'm never discourteous, if I'm walking toward 2-3 men on a sidewalk, I'll be on the right. But I'm not stepping onto the grass to accommodate their group. It's downright startling how ready they are to run into me. Not intentionally, but just because they assume I'll move.

People who overuse literally.

It’s about containing the crumbs when you break a bite off.
