Aargh, I just jinxed myself!
At Potbelly for lunch and there's almost no line. The one guy who's there is not moving up when the line does, is playing with his phone, and once he finally realizes he's next to order, THAT'S when he looks up at the menu board and tries to figure out what he wants to eat.

When I see that in the Facebook groups that I moderate, 9 times out of 10 it’s gonna get deleted by me
Behavior like that betrays the lack of a presence of mind, and situational awareness, never mind any sort of consideration for others.
Those who live inside device bubbles are common, but it takes other forms, like clogging store aisles by leaving carts wherever it strikes them, blocking traffic and access, side-dragging carts and acting like a double-wide, instead of pushing them like a normal person would.
Then there are the mo's who park right next to you, when you've purposely parked out in BFE and away from everyone else to avoid door dingers.
In my form of hell, there's a special place reserved for both.

I worked with a kid who blew his nose so loud that you could hear him doing it in the bathroom behind the closed door 20 yards away
Sounded like a trombone for sure Littering is disgusting behavior. It isn’t even just a pet peeve for me, it quite literally changes how I perceive that person. Probably the absolute worst is the dirty diaper dropped right on the pavement of a parking lot. Just dropping a sack of human feces right where you stand like an animal - reprehensible.
People who don't understand right-of-way.
People who mess up the flow by giving away their right-of-way.
People who give a thankful wave when you 'let them go first' when in reality they had the right-of-way and it was their turn to go.

Don't EVER move out here!!
Driving in Northern Virginia has destroyed my faith in other people and ruined my mental well-being. Teleporters can't be invented soon enough.

So, airports.
No wonder I hate airports

Another Niagara Falls pet peeve, when people pull too far in this parking spot and block the access to the garbage can. It happens so often and it’s inconsiderate 
Negatory my friend
My dog goes everywhere. Well trained. But if signed no dogs we will obey
No problem with places that are dog-friendly, and state that upfront.
But people who bring their pets to places where they are not permitted, including by law for hygienic reasons…and the employees who let them skate because retail workers are now trained to be meek, avoid conflict, and not enforce their own rules…that's a different story.
Thirty five years after leaded fuel was not available at gas stations, some pumps are still labeled as “ unleaded “. It’s like ordering an un-creamed coffee at Starbucks.
Driving through Virginia, I saw a guy wearing a racing helmet shaking his fist at the sky! One fist had the middle finger sticking out! Was that you?!
