Places in extreme climate that cranks in the opposite extreme temperature indoor. 
 

Like places in Texas that is so over AC’ed you neef a sweater. Or places in the winter with the heat so high you’re sweating in your garments. 

Hotel thermostats. They are intentionally mis-calibrated. Turn it to the lowest setting (65 or so usually) and it might get to 70. Rage.

Office thermostats.  Our building mgmt even openly admitted that half of them aren't even wired in.  Just something to occupy the admins while the sun heats up their side of the building and keep them from opening service tickets.

Good grief, the stupidity. Family Feud. The question is: Name an occupation where you might see dead people. Family A buzzes in first and guesses “Mortician.” It’s the number 1 answer. They opt to play.

The next guy can’t come up with a guess. Steve gives him an extra long time to come up with one but he can’t.  Buzz!  [X]

The next person guesses “Nursing Home.”  Buzz!  [X][X]

The next person guesses “Firefighter.”  Buzz!  [X][X][X]

Family B guesses “Doctor” for the steal.

Stayed in a hotel 2wk ago with the opposite problem, AC was full cold regardless of thermostat setting. Ended up turning it off because we were freezing.

This is not trivial, but people who go the wrong way down a one-way aisle in the parking lot (the ones with angle parking) should be punished by execution.

last two times i've gone to the post office motherfuckers have been reversing down the one-way driveway that runs the along the front of the post office between it and the street.  just go back out onto the street and come back around dumbshits

Not trivial.  At least half the time, my garbagemen only take the top bag out of the can instead of actually emptying the whole thing.  Look, I know that job sucks, but you even have a fucking robot arm that will empty it for you.  I now have a bag of dog shit that's been sitting at the bottom of the can for the past two weeks and now will be at least another week.

and I don't mean a singular poo bag. I mean an HEB plastic bag full of dog shit from when I cleaned up my backyard

Go throw it on your neighbor's porch.

I’m in a parking space with a pedo van between me and the store, so I can’t see past it. I’m backing out slowly, checking over my shoulder and the backup camera when some fucking soy boy - staring at his smart phone - appears from behind the pedo van, walking so close to the back of the van that he doesn’t even show up in my backup camera. He doesn’t see my backup lights, brake lights, or moving vehicle because he’s in a hypnotic trance, totally unaware that I was about to hit him.

Punctuation. Not a trivial thing.

Yeah, anyone who's staring at their phone while they're walking, completely unaware of their surrounds deserves to be run over.

I meant more about the word prescriptivists, I didn't know prescription drug addiction caused grammar problems. 

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/prescriptivist

english, as a peasant language developed while the nobility were speaking french, is inherently anti-prescriptivist.

people who camp in the left hand lane

people who don't decide to get over to the right until i've decided i'm done waiting on their dumb ass to move over so i've moved right and now i'm stuck behind them and the other slow ass in the left hand lane

people who pull out from the right hand lane to get around marginally slower traffic and they themselves aren't even going the speed limit and not making any effort to do so

people who vary speed for no fucking reason.  cruise control, use it.

people who light up their brakes for no fucking reason.  500 feet of clear pavement in front of you?  better tap them brakes. 

people who slowly pass traffic while in the left lane, especially those who immediately start going another 5+ faster once they do pass and move right.  why didn't you go 80 the whole time?

Agree with everything. I’d also like to add the holier than thou left lane is for passing only drivers on my cities Reddit page. Fargo is big enough to have 6 lanes on both of the interstates that run through the city. I do 95% of my driving in the far left because posted speed limits are 55 mph and traffic is just heavy enough just stay there and pass people. but not for the perfect Reddit drivers who think after you pass someone you need to get back to the center lane until youre ready to pass someone again.

Middle right is my go to lane if I'm not exiting for awhile. Don't have to deal with the merging and exiting, I stay away from the exit only lanes and my speed fits perfect. I stay away from the left lanes unless I'm passing and then get back over.
