I go to dollar store for one reason-reading glasses. Usually do it maybe once a year to buy a dz and i dread it. Its like for people not smart enough to negotiate wal mart. Always a shit show. Last time i was stuck in a line of ten people while some dumbass was trying to return for refund $5 worth of party decorations he had obviously already used and wouldnt take no for an answer.

Walk in to a popular order-at-the-counter restaurant at peak lunch time and place 12 individual orders for you all of your coworkers.

You park in a handicapped space with no visible placard or tag, you clearly are not handicapped, and when confronted about it, you lie, and get mad at the person for calling you out.

Any of you guys travel for work? All the mf'ing frequent flyers jockeying for position w bags ready blocking the entrance to get on the plane! I was guilty of this for years, but now "Move!"

I travel a lot for work. I don't understand what you mean. They have boarding groups and most frequent flyers are in the early groups and already in their seat when everyone else is boarding.

I also find most frequent flyers are the ones who do things the right way. It's the family of 5 who travel once every 3 years that take 9 hours to board and sit.

I do not understand why everyone is in such a rush to get on the plane as soon as possible. You're gonna be in your undersized seat with too little legroom for the next couple of hours anyway; why are you in a hurry to spend an extra 15 or 20 minutes in that spot? You're not getting off the ground any faster. I'm perfectly happy to chill in the terminal while everybody else gets herded aboard, and be the last one to slide into my seat as they close the door behind me.

And then as soon as the plane stops at its destination and the chime goes off, everybody jumps out of their seat just to stand in place, some of them hunched over with their heads bent at an angle under the luggage bins. You know you aren't going anywhere for at least 5-10 minutes, right?

Not beating-worthy, but just makes me shake my head at the herd mentality every time I fly.

I'm like this 99% of the time...the 1% where I understand getting on the plane first is a super packed flight with limited overhead space so I don't have to gate check. It's rare but if I see the seat map is full, I'll try to get on with the others in group 1-2. If not, then I'll just have another beer and wait til the last group is boarding.

I never check a bag and have the perfect carry on to fit all my stuff. Gate checking because idiots take up all the overhead with huge bags is beating worthy.

I agree with all of this - the only caveat is I worry a bit about being last on and not having a place for my one piece of overhead luggage, and the hassle of having a flight attendant check it, then waiting to get it after landing and hoping somehow it didn't get lost / misrouted.

Teach children to agree with YOUR political opinions instead of teaching them to think for themselves.

I agree with this for the most part.... I'd restate it as "teaching your kids how to think (or reason, analyze, debate), not teaching them what to think". It is a motto of where my two oldest are going to college.

And as they've grown up, I've tried to instill in my kids a very strong skepticism for the agenda of the person or organization delivering news or information to them. And most everyone has an agenda - right, left, etc.

Be able to determine the messenger's agenda, and be able to isolate the agenda and bias from underlying facts.

Ya, if there are no concerns with luggage space, I wanna be the last one on board. But, I certainly don't want to gate check, so I'll be more inclined to rush on if that's a potential danger.

As for getting off the plane. Ya, I'm trying to get the **** out of there when I land, so I'm willing to run over old ladies to get on with my life after the flight.

Pro tip: if the overhead space is filling up as you're boarding, don't try to put your carry on above you. Put it in the first available spot you can find on the way to your seat. Then as you deplane, you can grab it as you go by.

eh - I prefer the people that try to cram and jam and force a 3 foot wide carryon into 2 feet of overhead space....then look at the flight attendant with a "what can I possibly do?" look.
 
You park in a moving lane of traffic but think it’s okay because you put your hazard lights on.
...or the guy/gal pulled by the cop that stops halfway off the 8 lane highway when the paved shoulder is 12 feet wide, just to be dick because they got pulled over.

This happened last night

We’re in a long line at flaming amy’s burrito barn. Now the whole time you’re in line you’re staring at a huge menu on the wall. So these tourist bitches directly in front of me have been gabbing the whole 15 min it took to finally get to the register only to ASK FOR A PAPER MENU SO THEY CAN SPEND ANOTHER 5 MIN FIGURING OUT WHAT THEY WANT!!!!

somewhat related.....practically everybody deserves a beating because -

let's say a car crash, fender bender occurred on a road with two-three lanes in both directions with a median splitting the 2-3 lanes northbound from 2-3 lanes southbound. One cop car is there, the scuffed up cars are totally on the shoulder, everyone involved in the crash is out of their car and is ok.

Makes no difference! Everyone in every car traveling either direction has to slow down to 5 MPH or less - I guess to see a damaged car for the first time, or to be the person to see if there are crash-severed body parts, (heads, etc) flopping around on the road. If there are, maybe the drivers can pull over and put the victims back together.

I assume there are lots of car crashes - some even gruesome - you can search on the internet. Why can't people just mind their own business and move along? Not cause an hour-long backup both directions for something minor that happens most every day? Drives me nuts.

YOU DESERVE A MAJOR BEATING IF... You’re driving on the highway in the left lane, and 2 or more cars pass you on the right because you’re going too slow ... AND YOU WON’T GET THE **** OUTTA THE WAY!
