There’s honestly a reason for this. Last year I went on a business trip with a big guy. I wouldn’t call him morbidly obese but he’s too damned big for the seats in the back of the plane. I’m 190. He booked all the flights , 4 counting connections, and he booked us in the aisle and window on every flight with a seat between us. Three out of four flights we had an empty seat between us. He always booked us on the last row if available or at least the back few rows. It was deviously smart if you ask me.

Oh my that burns me up. Or people in the turning lane that block an intersection because where they were turning is backed up but they turned anyway and now they’re stuck in the middle of the street.
happens all the time on the west bound side of Stateline under I-55 from people exiting 55 headed east on Stateline.

1. That guy standing in front of the dumbbell rack lifting blocking everyone else getting to it.
2. That guy looking at his phone ten minutes between each set.
3. That guy who don't take the weight off when he's finish.
4. Right lane drivers on the interstate driving 10 miles slower than the speed limit. Almost as bad as left lane drivers.
5. The person driving on the on ramp to the interstate doing 20 mile per hours expecting to inter the interstate where the speed limit is 70.
6. The person who don't merge over to let oncoming traffic.
7. Those women blocking the isle at the grocery store. If you want to stand and look move your kart.
the person who stops at the entrance ramp and turns on their blinker

Oh, them and the millions of 17ers from Group 8 that rush up to hover at the back of the boarding line area even though they haven’t even called Group 2 yet. Either sit down or back the 17 up until you’re within 1-2 groups of being called
never understood why airlines don't board the plane from the rear. why would someone in 1st class want to have a constant line of people walking by them and really just standing in the aisle while some asshat tries to stuff their bag into the and hit people with the backpack they have on when they spin around to talk to their spouse or kids behind them.

Someone loading their stuff onto the very short self-checkout conveyer after standing right on freaking top of you while you scan your stuff. Those 10 seconds you gained will not make your life better. These people also tailgate in the right lane as you near an exit from the interstate. I’m certain of it.
on the same note

my wife will call me and ask if i'm home yet and if so to take out some meat from the freezer to so it can start thawing only to pull into the garage 4 minutes later! o_O

And conversely, the a-holes in a double drive-thru lane who don't understand that we take turns merging to get to the windows. At least in a civil society we do. They just HAVE to get their double quarter pounder with cheese and biggie fry immediately... so courtesy, patience and reasonableness be damned. I thought we had all agreed to these terms when CFA invented the double lane but apparently some people just refuse to be normal.
This is one of the many reasons I never use the drive-through anywhere, not just fast food restaurants.

The sheer number of traffic related posts in this thread reminds me that weapons in vehicles is a bad thing, even if I sometimes choose to carry myself.

The volatility of modern society, traffic BS, and guns is a very real problem for us. I have found myself in situations where I’d definitely kill a MF, and likely regret it later.
Just being real.
Mmm-hmm . . . I had to take the Uzi out of my glove compartment.

Eating noisily in public. Smacking, slurping, burping out loud. Then again, in some parts of the world they would likely say the polar opposite.
not just in public, i have two family members who make horrible sounds while eating and talk with their mouth full.

I'll never forget the first time I sat at the table with my Chinese father in-law while he was having a bowl of noodle soup. It was life-changing. That was over 20 years ago . . .

It's disrespectful to not eat soup like that in certain cultures

I’m ok with that and even do it on discount Asian airlines in SEA. There are some POS that do it exit row forward

That's exactly right. Also, as best I can determine, Chinese eating culture dictates that you eat your food while it's ridiculously hot (i.e., freshly cooked). The only possible way to do that is to slurp the hot soup as you eat it.

more on your cell phone screen - but seriously, the nasty bacteria and virals loads on bathroom door handles is how illnesses spread the easiest and fastest, other than spittle, sneezes, coughs. Its not the microscopic ones on carts, handrails, gas pumps. The bathroom door handle has millions of fresh living bacteria and viruses, guessing it is an order of magnitude higher than other things mentioned.
I keep hearing this stat about there being more poop bacteria, etc. on my cell phone or keyboard than on a public restroom... And that very well may be true - I have no idea - but if it's on my cell phone or keyboard, at least it's way more likely MY poop bacteria and not some random uncultured barbarian's who doesn't wash their hands after shittting in a public toilet.

Honking because someone didn't hit the gas immediately when the light turned green
Easy, I count to three before I hit the horn. You should be doing nothing else other than paying attention and driving when you’re in the drivers seat.
