Trivial things that make you surly

People filming or taking pictures of animals at the zoo.  Look for a minute and move along.  There is no need to snap 20 photos of each animal or take any videos.  If anyone has any interest in seeing a video or picture of a gorilla they'll google it and get 10,000 better images than your vertical iphone vids/pics.

It amazes me the things people take pictures of. They'll never look at 99% of them again in their lifetime.

Holy shit Chinese tourists. No racist, it’s a fact. I visited the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and I had to Google what the deal was later. I guess slide shows of yourself in front of famous things during your travels is a big status thing in China.

This. I’m not a picture taking person for this reason. I’d rather just enjoy the moment,  then try to capture it somehow. #picturesnoonereallywantstosee

Idoits that can't write down a phone number without turning it into a train wreck. 

Idoit:  Hey, do you have their phone number?

Me:  Yes.  You ready?

Idoit:  Uh huh. 

Me: 7....1....3.....2...4....8.....

Idoit (interrupting):  Uh, 713, uh, what?

Me:  (dude?) OK.  7...1...3...

Idoit (interrupting):  I got that part.  7...1...2

Me:  (sigh). No.   Let me start over.  7...1...3...2...4...8

Idoit (interrupting and repeating): 7...1...3...2...4...8??

(long pause)

Me:  7...7...6...5

Idoit:  2...4...8...7...7...6...2?

Me:  No. It's 7...1...3...2...4...8...7...7...6...5

Idoit:  Oh!  OK!   Hold on let me get a pen to write it down

Me:  Fuck

chinese and japanese tourists will straight up ruin your life when traveling, and its not just the picture taking.  complete disregard for others' personal space, will try to shove you out of the way to get to a site/attraction/event, cut in line, talk and laugh at crazy loud volumes in close quarters.  they are fucking awful and can ruin a vacation quick if you're not careful to stay as far away from them as possible

Just got back from Disney and you're right.  The Yankees were worse, though.

Speaking of.  You think Walmart is bad with lazy, fatasses on scooters, try Disney.

Yup. We had a guide for the palace in Bangkok and he was rushing us so that we could stay ahead of a large group of Chinese tourists. If we were ever in the same area they would just push around until they got where they wanted to go. It wasn’t malicious either, more oblivious.

JFC this! I had to yell at a family of 12 that couldn’t wait their turn to get to the ticket line for Windsor Castle. 7 of them had bypassed us before I spoke up.

This is 100% accurate.  I was on a 6 foot wide skywalk 1000 feet over a gorge in Canada and the Chinese tourists could give a fuck about anyone else.  They were throwing elbows and nearly shoving people over the edge to get a stupid fucking pic.

in regards to asian tourists. 

 

I went to Vegas with my family when I turned 21 back in '03. Saw an Asian tourist setting up his tripod on the strip in front of the Bellagio right in the middle of the sidewalk traffic. Random white dude just straight up punts one leg of the tripod destroying the whole setup.

Motherfuckers who stand in line (or sit in the drive-thru lane) at fast food restaurants for several minutes but don't know what the fuck they want once they get to the counter.  Are you kidding me?  You've had 5 minutes to think about it.  Plus you probably know the menu by heart anyway.  Anyone who takes longer than 30 seconds to place an order at a fast food restaurant deserves a special place in hell.

When you go to a restaurant an hour before it closes and they're already stacking chairs and cleaning up and shit like they just locked the doors. Makes you feel like they want you to leave. Hey assholes you still got an hour. 
Bad idea jeans to eat at places who do this. Turn around and leave. #Iknow

My wife is one of those who really doesn't decide what she's going to order until she's at the register or the waiter is standing there waiting (at a sit down restaurant).  she doesn't take forever but seems to feel the need to explain her thought process in making her choices.

Add this to the lazy scooter motherfuckers and you have Disneyland.  

My kids HAD to have chicken nuggets.  There are 2 things in the fucking menu.  40 minute line.  Nearly every asshole would get to the front of line and ask what was avaliable(it’s on the giant board above your head dickface), contemplate drink size options and throw a fit because there wasn’t a pesca-pescatarian option.

All wives. 

You tell me where we are eating and I've already narrowed it down to 3 choices before we get in the car. JFC, ladies, you aren't studying for the SAT. Pick a fucking number.

Old people. Every damn thing they do is so slow. Driving, walking, ordering food, etc.

Old people should not be driving. No one over 72 (to pick a random age).

But

 

you're going to be an old decrepit fucker someday, too, best case scenario. You're going to be slow AF doing everything. Have some empathy, dick.

And I'm sure that will annoy younger people too. And with good reason. So until that day comes, I'll keep being annoyed by it myself.

People who record pretty much anything.  The cellphones in the air at every event are a blight on society.
Anyone have any statistics on how much of what John Q Citizen records ever gets viewed?  Or viewed after 2 weeks?
People who do this at concerts are the worst. Do people not realize the sound they are hearing in person is not going to replicated worth a damn through their phone? Just enjoy the show and take some pics. I guarantee you no one is watching your phone recorded video clips of that concert.

Anyone use Amazon Prime Photos? There is an app that will show you what pictures you took on this day in the previous years. I don't take that many pictures, but it is pretty cool to look at pics of my kid from the last couple of years every morning
I do and agree it's cool. Always have random stuff popping up that I forgot about.
