On hot days when people are generally very sweaty and smelly on the Metro, I put my bag in the seat next to me, put my earbuds in, and close my eyes. When you ask to sit there or ask for me to move my stuff, I pretend I can't hear you and I'm sleeping.

This is why people from D.C. have such a nasty reputation. It only takes one person like this to make the rest of us look bad.

My sister claims to be allergic to certain foods when she clearly is not and it drives me batty. So I will sneak some of those foods into dishes I make when she is over.

If there's no fine associated with it, it's not a real law or real thing.

So, you're fat. Sorry. If you park further away, you'll get at least a little exercise.

If I make a call and hear a person with a heavy accent, I hang up and call again until I get someone I can understand.

Wow. Not only an asshole but an idiot.

The Close Door button is supposed to be disabled in the US. ADA.

The ADA is so passe.

ADA as in Americans with Disabilities Act? What the heck does the close elevator door button have to do with disabilities? Can anyone explain this?

So people don't shut the door on the blind guy with a cane; person on crutches; someone who is generally unstable on their feet; and, the elderly.

Mostly thought it's to piss off impatient people who pointlessly poke at the button.

There is no law requiring the disabling. The elevators are supposed to have a sensor so as to not shut on someone as the doors are closing.

Funny, I put up signs at the far end of the parking lot that read "Reserved for Crossfitters and Marathon Runners".

Seriously. If you've got one of those "26.2" stickers on your car and you're trolling the close-in spots at the store, you may be an *sshole.

My coworker does this with one of the vendors we use. He wants to get relayed to the US call center and not he Indian ones. Sometimes it takes him 4 or 5 tries.

Whenever she meets someone new and I am around I will bring up astrology or numerology and get her started on a tangent and just watch the person's face as it dawns on them how crazy she is.

Seriously last week she was trying to convince me the Earth is hollow.

PS the only time I felt bad doing this is when her date went to the bathroom and never returned during a wedding.

But .... but ... how does she think trees stay upright? How does she think flowers bloom? Does she think trees and flowers are taped to the top of the ground? Krazy glued?

I've never asked her but now I am going to!! She thinks Lizard People/Elite helped the Nazi's flee to Antarctica, which is the Lost City of Atlantis, and then enter into the hollow earth. Where they now control our minds or some crazy BS like that.

Doesn't it make you feel bad, using your relative's mental illness as a conversation starter/joke? I work with people with psychosis/delusions - your aunt thinks this way because she's sick and this is how her brain interprets the world. You think a younger relative wouldn't treat it like a funny party trick. Sad.

NP

I've met several people who believe the Reptile Rothschilds are running the earth. They're not mentally ill, just longwinded.

People like you are a pain in the ass.

The ada prescribes specifically how long an elevator door must stay open. During that period, the door close button is disabled. Because of costs involved, elevator manufacturers don't make timing mechanisms to re-enable the door close button after the minimum prescribed time has passed.

In anticipation of you next asinine questions, the door close button is still there because it always work in manual and fire department mode.

I see why you are on this thread with that nasty attitude that you have. Clearly being you is the answer to the OP's question. I simply stated there is no law because there is not a law, or the buttons would actually be disabled. Not sure what the hell your problem is.

The close button works fine in my office. I pretended I was reaching to keep the door open but closed it on someone just this morning.

In all seriousness, why would you do this?

When my husband is away on business, I always come up with "plans" whenever my MIL asks to see the kids, even if I desperately need a break, because she drives me nuts in a way that makes wild and crazy kids seem tame.

Does anyone think that certain people think life is one big a-hole contest?
