Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Cody2422 264]

Also bugs me for flights with assigned seats and boarding groups, American Airlines, for instance, why board the front of the plane in the first group?  To make them feel special?  We all leave at the same time, if they boarded the back in group 1, the process would go so much smoother.  I’m flying home today, I’m surly

How about assholes on a plane sitting behind you that insist on deboarding before you 

I will block them out harder than Charles Barkley on the low block.  Next thing they’re gonna do is ‘accidentally ‘ whack you in the head with their bag out of the overhead.

Fuck those people.  You’ll get off when it’s your turn, motherfucker.

The new design of fast food drive thrus. I can't be the only person to notice that newer fast food drive thrus are designed to lock you in. So if you're behind someone whose vehicle shuts down or the kitchen staff is short a few workers and orders are taking a long time, you're in it for the long haul. We used to drive out to Lubbock for Christmas and we'd always get dinner at McDonalds. Well one time there was a long line and we had to decide whether or not to commit to it or not. I go inside to take a piss and see if I can order. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. There was only 1 employee there and she said that her coworkers had called in so it was just her. Order was a minimum 2 hour wait. Hell no we drove away. The drive thru was that locked in style so unless you could convince the people in front of you to drive off or the people behind you to back up, you're there for 2 hours.

I'd like to add that the dual lane drive thru has no place in this current society of absolute morons...you get in one of these without an employee giving specific instructions on which vehicle to follow and it's like fucking Thunderdome...McDonalds, fuck me, all I want is a damn coffee not a fucking daily demolition derby initiated by some asshole who wants to cut the line to get his disgusting McGriddle

I mean, you could park your car and walk an extra 15 steps to get your coffee and avoid all of it.  But, fuck it.  You do you

Because the peasants at the back of the plane will take all of the overhead bin space if allowed. 

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2721]

Had a lady do this on one of our legs on one of our trips this summer.  The kicker was she boarded on a wheelchair.  She stood up most of the flight talking to friends of hers and then when the plane stopped she starts weasling her way back to the front of the plane.
Another plane issue... Flew Southwest over a year ago.  We were in the high As so I was hopefuly to get a exit seat.  Any way this elderly couple (high 70s at the youngest) grabs the last available aisle.  The attendant asks them can they handle the duties involved.  The husband nods there is no verbal or physical response from the wife, attendant walks off and the wife asks they husband "What did she say?".  

Big pet peeve of mine. Why the FA’s don’t call the olds out to move in an exit row I don’t know.

Getting home from work and my new 50" TV is on the front porch.   They call us or ring the door bell and raise all sorts of ruckus on such benign things as a t-shirt or a $5 ice scraper delivery; but a prime target for porch pirates during the Christmas season?  Nah...it'll be OK until the Iceman shows up...

On the positive side, half the old retirees on my street would love for someone to grab something so they could field-check their marksmanship skills.  There is no fucking crime here...LOL.

Probably already been posted before, but when you're at a busy "order at the counter" restaurant with a line and the (usually boomer women or older couples) in front of you wait until they get to the cashier to grab a menu and decide what to order, despite there being a fucking menu on the wall they could have read while waiting. Then they typically follow up with inane questions about items on the menu that could be answered by simply reading the menu. My wife has had to elbow me before after I've let out an audible "jesus fucking christ" under my breath.

Also, as a corollary, the restaurants that are set up this way which refuse to make any effort to be more efficient. Shit like when a breakfast place that always gets crowded has the lone cashier stepping away from the register between each order to both make and then serve coffee drinks despite having other staff members on hand.

One of the new gas stations by me use pumps that flipped the card reader the opposite direction...so you have to insert your card ass backwards.  They were apparently having enough people getting pissed that they "weren't working" that they now have printed instructions taped to all the pumps.

The slow walking family that moseys along in a crowded environment (airport, busy city street, mall) four or five abreast, with a toddler or two for good measure, blocking the flow of foot traffic.  Similar to the airport stoppers mentioned by Diggler above.

Those same slack-jawed dipshits can also be found immediately outside of revolving doors. It really sucks when they're too old and frail to just shoulder check and instead you have to shout "excuse me" at them as you pass by on your way to taking another lap around the door and hoping that they get the fucking point and move.
