    Having no spatial awareness like for example blocking a whole isle in a store to talk to someone who you can talk to at any other time or blocking the escalator to check your phone.

    Blasting music via speakerphone or speaker on public transit. It’s always shitty trap music too.

    Walking down the wrong side of the hallway.   Treat the hallway like the roads in your country.  Whatever side you drive on is the side you should walk on.

    Letting their kids run around and scream in stores. Gentle parenting has gone too gentle. Yes there is a line between abuse and behavior correction, but most parents today are too afraid to walk that line.

    For context, I’m 25, no kids, but my mother would never let me get away with behaving like that. She’d employ thigh pinches and/or leaving the store or having my dad remove me from the store and not getting anything I wanted on that particular shopping trip. It worked, I learned how to behave myself.

    People who go up to the cash register, wait for the total to come up, and then proceed to transfer money into their account before they can use their card and hold up the line.

    If you do this, you’re a fucking asshole and you should get the shit beaten out of you on site.

    Lane-splitting on motorcycles. It is illegal in some places but it should be everywhere. Needlessly puts the drivers of both the motorcycle and both cars at risk, and I can’t for the life of me understand why it would be allowed anywhere.

    Not managing their wild kids. Idc if your kid is having fun and just being a goofy kiddo. I don’t mind happy sounds and I don’t think anyone else does either. But if your kid is acting like an unholy terror and threatening to break something or cause ham to a living thing, you better be ready to put them in line.

    Talking on their phone in speaker mode while out in public.

    I encounter this quite often while out at the grocery store, or at a department store, etc.

    They act as though they’re holding some sort of conference all. They delusionally think everyone else within an earshot of them is absolutely fascinated with anything and everything going on in their lives.

    Have a phone conversation on speakerphone while holding the phone in your hand by your chin.

    After TSA screen, you’re supposed to grab your belt, shoes, etc. and put them on in the designated space. The people who block others from gathering their stuff while they re-dress suck.

    Riding a bike on the sidewalk. You wouldn’t ride a motorcycle on a sidewalk, why ride a pedal or electric bike?

    I got mowed down by some inattentive guy riding a pedal bike on the sidewalk. Ran his front wheel right through my legs and knocked me down on the sidewalk. He apologized, but I warned him “this is why you don’t ride bikes on the sidewalk”!

    Stand in the middle of a grocery aisle with their buggy blocking the entire aisle and get so engrossed in reading a product label that you can stand there staring at them for 10+ seconds and then eventually just turn around and go through the next aisle to the other end to get what you need, and by then they’ve finally moved on their own, still oblivious that they are being extremely inconsiderate to others in a common space 😵‍💫

    Kids running amok in restaurants and breweries while the parents get sloshed and ignore it. And when it’s a whole group or team of kids….good grief.

    Why do the staff or other customers have to be the ones to tell the group of half drunk parents who are totally ignoring their 20 kids, that they can’t play freaking football in the middle of the brewery and pizzeria??? Playing video games, and having fun? Sure thing. Swinging bats and hitting balls? No thank you.
