Shopping during the day when the supermarket is filled with slow old people.
I love that we now have 24h supermegamarkets over here. I go shopping around midnight these days. Theres like 3 people in the whole giant shop. Its bliss.
All of the 24hr shops here in my Canadian city went back to 12hrs during COVID :(
I heard that happened in a lot of places. We were only starting to get the 24h shops around the time Covid hit. I think over here it sort of eased the situation. I remember I deliberately went to the shops in the middle of the night, to avoid the freaks who insisted on not wearing masks and such.
Versus in the evening and morning when the store is full dumbfucks who leave their carts in the middle of the isles?
I mostly encounter those during the day.
Yeah, that's quite annoying. Specially when they start chatting with their peers infront of a product you really need and than judge you as impatient, when you say you need the item they are blocking.
Since I've moved to the area that I live in now, I've noticed that a lot of the drivers on the highway have a strange habit. The highways around here are all 4 lanes total, two lanes in each direction, and I feel like I run into 2 or 3 people with this "style" of driving everyday. They will be driving 20+mph over the speed limit in the right (slow) lane, and when they get over in the left (fast) lane to pass someone else they basically slow down to the point where they match the speed of the car they are passing. It is incredibly annoying to me to be stuck behind these two drivers taking up both lanes going the same speed, and then one of them peels away at literally felony speeds, and then again I am stuck behind them again a 1/4 mile down the road when they are "passing" someone else going 0.01mph faster than the car in the slow lane. It also confuses the fuck out of me, I want to ask one of these people, what the fuck are you doing? Is this a 'small town' thing where you are checking who's in each car you pass? Because I don't think the fucking highway is the best place to chit chat and share a roadie sodie with a neighbor.
Also getting stuck behind a tractor or other farm shit on the county roads. Those are only two lanes total, one in each direction, and there is always just enough of trickle of traffic from the other direction that you can't pass the tractor going 22mph on a 55mph road. Instantly ruins my day.
I've gotten this far, might as well just add driving in general to the list. I fucking hate driving. I would love it if I could hop on a bus to get to work, but everyone around here is convinced that public transportation is "Marxist Communist Leninist Socialist Fascism."
Are they checking it's not an unmarked cop car?
lol I’m guilty of passing people slowly mainly because of cruise control though 😅 but then I slide over in the “slow” lane and maintain cruise control no randomly peeling off but I definitely incur some road rage from the people doing 30 over the limit when I pull out to pass someone for the next 45 seconds 😂 but fuck them lol in a rush for nothing
If you're overtaking, you're supposed to speed up. If speeding up would put you at an unsafe speed, then overtaking is too dangerous at that moment. If there isn't enough difference in speed to overtake in a timely manner, there isn't enough difference in speed you should want to overtake.
Just because cruise control makes you drive a constant speed doesn't mean it makes you drive the correct speed. Either adjust it down and accept your place in traffic, or turn it off long enough to speed up and complete your overtake without turning your two-ton death machine into an obstacle for everyone else to maneuver around.
fuck them lol in a rush for nothing
First of all, you don't know that. They could be having an emergency. If it was your relative dying at the hospital, you'd want people to move out of your way too. Second of all, it's not your job to police the roads. It's not your job to make sure people drive slow enough. If you think someone is being dangerous by driving too fast, the safest thing you can do is get the fuck out of their way. Adding another car to an already dangerous situation only makes the situation more dangerous.
Call and report them if tou have to, but don't try to enforce the law, that's not your job.
Go off king but I think I’ll keep doing me 😅 for context the only traffic I’m impeding on multi lane highway is that traveling in excess of 20 over limit cause that’s typically what cruise is set to. If you have your caution lights flashing and speeding I yield to you otherwise you’ll be fine to fly by me at unsafe speeds once I get back in my lane 😂
And how you drive is fine, I'm just confused why someone would be driving like 90mph and then slow down to 65.1mph to pass someone going 65mph. I'm just baffled every time I see it. Just... WHY??
Costco checkout lines before Thanksgiving.
You're not stuck in the crowd, you are the crowd.
