I'm listening to a recorded presentation, and the speaker begins EVERY SENTENCE by making a smacking or tsking sound with his tongue.

There's a guy at the gym, when he finishes a set on a machine, just lets the stack of weights fall. Douche.

And what is up with black people and those goddam bluetooth earpieces? Like you're going to take a call during your workout.

I hate that.
Here is my contribution: People who walk in the out door at Walmart, and vice versa. I've been known to tell my kid in front of these people, "No, we have to use the correct door, otherwise people will think we can't read."

I use whichever door is closer, but yield to other people if I'm using the "wrong" one.
The Man can't tell me which door to use.

Then drive on the wrong side of the road, then, as long as it is convenient. I mean, the other door is literally 5 feet away, so I can see how that would be a pain.

One of those is a law, the other is a suggestion. Typically they're more like 20-30 feet away, but whatever.
Be slow and inefficient as much as you like.

At the stores around here, it is 5 feet, tops.I think a lot of those people can't read. Not all those people could possibly be that rude.
Posted by TPRJones on Jan. 31 2012,09:23
It's only rude if you're blocking someone else's path, I think that was his point. And I agree.That having been said, there's a lot of rude assholes in Houston. Both on the road and at the stores.

At my local Kroger, it's about 200 feet. You're supposed to enter at one corner, and exit at the other. But if I'm parked near the exit I see no reason to go all the way around.

Around here (at Walmarts) there is an atrium where carts are, and then another door. It is impossible to see if you are going to be in someone's way until you go in the wrong door and get in someones way.
I specifically said Walmart, because the in/out doors are together. At Menard's I am always going in the out door because it is at least 200 feet between the doors marked "In" and "Out," and 80% of the time I want to get at the construction shit that is on the "Out" door side, and I don't want to walk an extra 500 feet to get at it. So I understand the inconvenience aspect of poorly laid out "In" and "Out" doors, but I'm just saying that it isn't an issue at Walmarts (around here), and I can only assume that if you are using the wrong door at Walmart that you probably can't read due to some unfortunate form of retardation. Those are very high traffic doors, and in those stores you are always getting in someones way going in the wrong direction. Because you are a retard.
Noy YOU you. "You" in general.

That is our contractor entrance. I suppose you use our 15 minute contractor parking spaces to.

Actually, sometimes, I do.
But when I am leaving the store with 10 2x4's and screws and drill bits, I am claiming Prima Parka in the 15 minute parking spaces. That is an ancient Latin saying for "Prime Parking," used frequently in Rome prior to Pompeii.

Well to me Menards is almost as bad as Walmarts. (I do shop there but Paul Menard is still an asshole.) I know the strategy of making you wallk all the way throu the store to get you to impulse buy. But they don't need half the crap they stock. I need a lumber store. Not a place to buy 2x4s, macaroni and cheese and milk. They are clearing out there xmas toys and hunting goods now.

But to be fair, our local Walmart has 2 sets of doors, one on either side of the store, and each set of doors has an "In" door, and an "Out" door, within a few feet of each other. Menards has one door on each side of the store, one marked "In," and the other "Out."
One is convenient and is set up to provide a smooth traffic flow to those who are literate, and the other is Menards.

I will give you the Walmart. The Menards is even hard sometimes going in the contractor entrance. Usually you have to find an open cahier isle and try to push past customers. Who probably think you are an asshole.

I know exactly what you mean. Just yesterday I opened one of their big swinging gates so I could get down a "closed" aisle.

This is just to hard. It would be easier if I listed the people that don't annoy me. Very short list.

Yeah, there's a ton of Mormons in all the states surrounding Utah. I work with a lady from Idaho and she says there's more Mormons per-capita in Idaho than in Utah.
