Corollary: people who swing out wide to the left to make a right turn (or vice versa), like they're transporting a windmill blade.

When youre sitting at a red light at an intersection that does not have a protected left turn lane and the guy in front of you doesn’t turn on his left turn signal until he’s in the intersection. I would honestly really love to know what motivates ppl to do that. Like why couldn’t you have provided me that information when we were sitting at the red light?

Sometimes I think you go too far ITT, but this really gets my goat as well.

It is yet another meme format that requires zero effort other than posting a photo.

it's probably already in this thread, but when people say someone is "him" that angers me.  I don't really know what it is even supposed to mean.

there's 2 garbage bins at my condo, one for food waste, the other for material. it takes 0 effort to put trash in the right place, and makes life a little easier for the cleaning staff. but people just don't give a crap and completely ignore it.

they should just say "the man" then. saying "mocat is him!" is really douchy.

We have recycling and trash bins but I’m 99% sure the cleaning crew at the end of the day empties them into the same thing.

Absolutely correct.  But it makes me feel like I'm doing my part to sort my recyclables out of my trash...even though I know almost 100% that it's all going to landfill no matter what.

Biggest bang for your buck in terms of doing your part is composting

yea. sad truth is most stuff doesn't get recycled anyways. but the 1% chance it does help out a little, i think it's worth the effort. i do live in a place where i'm pretty sure it does matter though.

My officemate in the trailer has happy feet and vibrates/taps his foot all effing day. It's not super loud but the vibrations are annoying to feel in my non-vibrating feet. He also like never leaves his desk for hours at a time so there is no reprieve.
