People using memes who have no idea wtf the meme is about.  Examples:

- My JH students constantly saying "OK Boomer."  I've learned them a few times on what it means.  

- Have a buddy that sent me a Mandalorian yoda child meme.  I asked him, "Are you watching that show?  It's awesome!"  ... "No, I don't even know what channel it's on"

Chase won't take cash deposits without a photo ID. God forbid I try to sneak another $65 onto a $3000 deposit. 

Maybe the bloodstains concerned them?

That's anti money laundering attempts by the feds.  Try cashing a black or purple chip at any casino nowadays.  They will call the pit and verify that it(they) were paid out to you.

 

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass.  I hear ya.  Saw an elderly dude at the bank lose his shit last week because he was trying to make a $10k cash deposit and he didn't have his ID.  "You motherfuckers won't even take my money.  This is dumb as hell."  It was a very admirable blue streak...

That’s more of a federal KYC thing really.  It’s my attention to the big picture at my bank that has me up for promotion to assistant Vice President.

It's technically illegal in most municipalities to refill parking meters for cars other than your own.  My roommate in college couldn't pay off my late fee at Blockbuster video without my membership card for some strange reason.  It really shouldn't shock us, with all of our anti-money laundering measures that a large bank won't anonymously accept $10,000 in cash at the end of the fiscal year.  

You wouldn't believe the EB-5 precautions taken before somebody can move money from a foreign currency to buy U.S. real estate.

Chase also won’t let you deposit cash into someone else’s account. My ex banks at chase and she used to get in trouble and call begging me to put a few hundred in cash into her account. I was glad when Chase implemented that policy..

They probably got tired of you bringing all them ones up there.

Posted a refrigerator on Facebook Marketplace for $25. First words in the description are "Compressor needs repair . . ." At least four messages to me "Does it work?" Do this many people seriously go through life without even a bare minimum effort?

So it doesn't work?

Fucking people who are too goddamned stupid to live. I swear to fucking God. I cannot wait to finish renovating our new house, because I never want to live in an apartment complex again. Upstairs neighbor out on the balcony bitching and moaning at the top of her lungs about furniture assembly that won't work because "The holes are too goddamned big." Thirty minutes of this drama, and I finally have enough, and say, "Can I take a look?"

Yeah, the connection is via cam-lock, and she wasn't putting the cam fitting in the slot, so there was nothing to screw into.

And this person can operate an automobile. God save us all.

Return your shopping carts you asshole fats.

I don't necessarily like their prices after having lived in a hyper-competitive Houston market; but United in West Texas still walks your cart out to your vehicle and takes them back in the store.  There are no cart corrals in the parking lot, nor carts.

people who start turning left onto the street I am on and waiting at the stop sign at, well before they reach the intersection (presumably to beat the oncoming car instead of just waiting an extra 30 seconds to let it pass), thereby cutting inches in front of my front bumper instead of coming to the intersection and taking a ~90 degree left turn onto the street.  fuck you.

Market Street (same ownership, IIRC) in Colleyville does that.  Not sure why the cashier always asks if I need help to the car if I can't actually decline it.  Cartboy always insists they must accompany the cart.  So I just quit buying more stuff there than I can carry out.  That'll show 'em!

The looping towel roll dispenser in public bathroom.  I feel like it's cycling the same 5ft roll of towel and I'm just wiping my hands on somebody's urine.

 

Fucking calculator app on Android that automatically rotates orientation, even though Autorotate is disabled in the OS

You trust people to wash their hands properly?  Often it's a splash of water (no soap) for 2 seconds and they walk away

I've never seen that. Either they don't wash at all or they do, with soap. Also, I haven't seen one of those old style reusable towel rolls in years either. 

I did find this, though:

bathroom germophobes crack me up.

Build up some tolerance, ya fuckin nancies.

I'm all for building up an immunity, it's just that if you don't have to touch other people's feces with 5%  more effort, isn't that worth it?  Going in/out of a bathroom and limiting your exposure to other people's snot and shit, takes an extra 5% more effort.  Kinda like wiping down the remote control in an hotel room after you check-in.  It takes 10 seconds and severely limits your contact with other men's semen.  I mean, whatever you're into...I won't judge.  

Yeah, touching the door-handle or the urinal handle isn't gonna kill you.  But you can also just use your elbow or a paper towel, takes an extra 3 seconds and severely cuts the chances of picking up some taint germs, but again whatever you're into.

Those new Airblade urinals get piss all over the place. 

 

Yeah, but it does feel like a hooker near-death gently whispering her last regrets onto your dick as the life leaves her tepid throat.
