Asshats who always back in to parking spots.  At my office, the jerkwads who back up traffic in the parking garage in the morning so they can  back into their spots.  Woohoo, when you leave you’ll be out 5 seconds quicker!  Screw the 3 cars waiting on your ass.

If they suck backing in, then they likely have to take more than one shot at pulling in forward too.

Drive the vehicle, don't just aim it.

As I've said before, these idiots also seem to somehow pull out in front of me and almost hit me at the end of the day, since they think not having to back out means they don't need to look before they move.

People who use “text” as a past tense.  It’s fucking “texted” and you sound like a dumb, uneducated, backwoods hillbilly when you say stuff like, “I text her but she didn’t respond”.

Saw a debate about this on facebook once and, sure as shit, the one and only person claiming “text” was the proper past tense among hundreds of responses was one of the dumbest people I’ve ever know.

Players that throw fits at the ref even though they obviously committed an infraction.  

I was watching a soccer game - yeah, I know.  Two completely obvious and purposeful hand balls led to two screaming fits at the refs.  This goes for all sports.  If the ref missed the call OR the call lands in a grey area, fine.  If you just threw the WR on the ground while the ball was in the air, don't act like a bitch to the refs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just once, i'd love to see an official get in a coach's ear and rip his ass for such stupidity and not doing his job right.

 

It's idiotic what the officials are supposed to tolerate.  STFU people and play your gotdam game.

An entire thread can be devoted to this.  

Seen, rather than saw.  "I seen they did that."

1$ rather than $1.

Was, rather than were.  "We was gonna do that."

Yeah, there could definitely be a whole thread on bad grammar.  I think "text" stands on it's own though as I believe the people using it as past tense truly think it's correct.  I don't think, when pressed, anyone would argue that "seen" vs "saw" is proper grammar.  But it's like since "text" as a verb is a fairly new word in the English language, there are idiots dug in on it and are just too dumb to figure it out.  You don't say, "I was just text her"...you say, "I was just texting her".  So why the fuck would you say, "I text her"...rather than "I texted her"?

Exactly, the correct place for that is under the table top....

As close to the edge as possible so that it gets stuck on someone's shirt.

My peve right now is idiots who have been driving 80 mph slowing down to 72 when they are passing someone doing 70, then speed back up, once past.  Four lanes, no one in front of them, they just slow down for the pass.  Just keep driving, dipshits.

I was at HEB a little while ago and this old fart did exactly that, took about 4 times forward/back before he was straight.  And for the record - HEB was open.

I feel personally offended.

Except I don't wear a goatee and you would never mistake me for a chick, so, maybe not.

Really, you could have just said "guys that think goatees are acceptable"

This is smart to do around your wife.  Get embarrassed a few times,  then for the remainder of time you can check out out blond chicks and when your wife catches to looking, just say "I thought it was a dude".  Bulletproof plan.

Two operators at work were walking behind someone at the mill and talking about what a nice ass “she” had. They determined she had to be a volleyball player because of how nice her ass was. When they finally got to see the face, they quickly realized they had been following a dude with long hair around and looking at his ass. We still call him volleyball.

People on our neighborhood board( from which I am prohibited to post, because the wife works in the schools) losing their minds over a letter from their kids at military basic training not showing up on a certain day. One mom and one dad were complaining about the timing of receiving these letters "that are pure gold" and how much anguish they are experiencing because of it.

1. Wait till that sumbeech is on deployment and you miss a phone call...

2. Who the fuck tracks regular letters?  Get a life.

I know it has been mentioned before, but what the fuck is up with people not putting their shopping carts up? We were out yesterday and this guy just walks up to an empty space and rolls his shopping cart into it without stopping. Thankfully some lady just happened to be walking by and grabbed it before it hit my wife’s car. The douchebag kept right on walking and paid zero attention as I got out and said something to him.

Agreed, but every lot you pull through now has carts stacked up everywhere. When did everyone become so damn lazy that they can’t walk the buggies to the proper place? There is generally one on every aisle.

I see most people around her put them back, but there's always lazy people. I've taken to grabbing a cart from the housewives after they empty it to save them a trip when it's convenient for me.

Holy shit this. I just moved back to Houston from Sugar Land. I swear no one there has ever tried to return a cart. Maybe it's some Asian cultural thing. It's fucking unreal. They just leave them in the open parking space right next to the car; they put them in the landscaping with front two wheels over the curb; anywhere but the corral that's right there four slots down from your car.

These same people use "suppose to" instead of "supposed to".

exceedingly easy solution.  charge deposit money for the cart - like the airport trolleys.

Or get a deposit next time.  Like his bag of cans.  Or his other...bag of cans.
