No. No, it really isn't, you goddamn pearl-clutchers, and I say this as somebody who's been diagnosed with a developmental disorder (Asperger's). I'd say something about respectful behavior and social cues, but seeing as how you're a self-confessed sperglord, that really wouldn't mean anything, now would it.

I know somebody who does this, but also insists on giving long, semi-incoherent directions to places, even when you ask him to just give you the address so you can have your phone/GPS/whatever lead you there. I trust Google Maps a hell of a lot more than poo poo like, "It's gonna be two rights...then you'll see a big Japanese Maple, and after a few blocks, you want to make a left on a street that's either 'Bruce' or "Bunce' and go about half a mile until you get to the place where that MacFrugal's was until it closed down before you were born..."

People who clap for subway performers. Don't encourage them. Subway performers who perform at like 9am and then make jokes like "guess you haven't had your coffee yet!" when people don't respond positively. Subway performers who get on a packed-to-the-gills train at 6pm on a weekday and wail on bongos for like ten straight minutes. Subway performers.

People walking through the emergency doors from traincar to traincar and shoving flyers in your face while you're obviously looking deeply at your phone on purpose. People who pretend to be impoverished/homeless in order to scam tourists while a bunch of actual homeless are sitting on the same block in despair.

When you're on public transport and have your bag sitting on the seat beside you and someone just starts to sit down without asking you to move it first so you have to react quickly and grab your bag out of their way. I don't understand why anyone would do that, but it's not an isolated incident, people do it all the time. And I don't even put my bag on the seat if the train/tram/bus is crowded. Unrelated: people who can't tolerate silence and keep trying to make small talk even when you're clearly trying to read a book or something.

A thing about the express lane at the grocery store. I don't mind if someone is a couple items over the limit. Whatever. That doesn't slow the line down nearly as my three other peeves when it comes to the express lane. First is when people don't have their payment ready. This is true for any line though. You KNOW you're gonna be paying soon, get your poo poo out once you've unloaded your cart/basket. Second, and far worse, is when people in the express lane pay with a check. You're defeating the whole purpose by using an obsolete method of payment that takes 10 times longer than cash or debit. And if you have a checking account, you have a debit card. There is literally NO reason to use a check. It's not safer, it's not easier, it's not faster. Stop using them at retail locations. Third is on the store, and that's when they put the new guy on the express lane. I can kind of understand that the put them there because smaller transactions are easier to train on, but they're still a lot slower than the employees who have been there for a while. This completely defeats the purpose of an Express lane. Express lanes should be manned by the fastest employee and should be credit/debit only. Or just go to the single queue for all the check lanes method. I don't know why all stores don't do that. It's the fastest and fairest system.

It really bugs me when people overreact to good food. Their eyes roll back in their heads, they point with their spoon/fork, and go "mmm! MMMM!" like they've never had fish and chips (or whatever) before. We get it, it tastes good. Stop having a culinary orgasm. I've been watching food network at the gym (it's one of only a few channels and if I'm not in the mood for the Kardashians or Fox News, FN it is) and people do this ALL THE TIME. That, or they kiss their fingers like some caricature of an Italian grandma. Do Italian people even do the finger-kiss thing when they make really good food? Also, the word foodgasm. I know it's just an expression but it creeps me out when people compare food to sex. Stop moaning when you eat, it's weird.

I'm watching Iron Chef America on Netflix, because I ran out of stuff. They keep adding sound effects to 'enhance' the cooking or something. Like if someone is whisking, they add a whisking sound, but it won't match the visual. The worst is that they have ONE sound effect for pouring of liquid. It kind of sounds like, if you were to pour a milkshake into the metal cup from some height - and it's added to everything. Doesn't matter if it's pouring a vat of boiling water into the sink, pouring a glass of champagne, or ladling gravy onto potatoes; it's the exact same gurgle, just longer or shorter. Drives me mad. I've always hated exaggerated food and drink sounds in commercials and the like.

People who spend forever at the cash machine/atm. Put in your card, type in your pin, withdraw money. It takes thirty seconds. Yet you have idiots that have to check their loving balance, get a receipt, re-check their balance, decide how much money to take out and then pop in another card and go through the same loving routine.If you take longer than a minute at any cash machine I loving hate you. People who refuse to believe one of the machines is broken or empty. Like when you're queuing at a couple of them you always get that one dick that gets angry that nobody is using the second one despite it clearly being out of order, barges to the front of the queue and attempts to put their card in the broken machine. Then, when it inevitably doesn't work loudly announces "that one isn't working"

I don't care if you can make a stupid song out of chewing sounds, KitKat, it's still unacceptable.

People on the internet who write out stories "being" someone despite not being that. It is so glaringly obvious (looking at stdh thread). The ones of "old people" giving advice when no old person would write like that, and it's obviously written by someone in their 20s. Or the ones written by a "woman" but are obviously written by a man. IIRC there was some study or similar that women and men type/write differently.

You can tell a poster is a woman when they refer to "cuticles" in any context. A woman in a fancy-pants mood might describe those cuticles as "resplendent". Dead givaways, those words. Also, while men and women like to get angry and complain on the internet, male posters throw in rape threats, while female posters will throw in random, nonsensical statements as if they were also complaints, when they are clearly not complaints. Male: "My neighbor hit my parked car and she has no insurance. Ergo, rape." Female: "My neighbor hit my parked car, and this is the same person who gives me the the stink eye whenever she glances at the clutter on my porch when she knows I'm too busy dealing with the drama over my sister choosing to base her whole wedding on the same colors I had already picked out for my wedding just after I told her and lying about it. Also she has no insurance."

I hate people who leave shopping carts right next to, but not actually in, cart returns. You made it all the way there, you can't take just a few more steps to put it where it won't obstruct parking spaces and make poo poo harder for the people who have to put them away? I mean I can almost get not using a cart return if it's one of those giant IKEA-like parking lots but in small ones where the rows are fairly short and there's a return on each side? This is even worse if it's a return right next to the store door. People will come out of the store, take their things out of their cart while standing right next to or in the cart return and still leave the cart in the wrong place, what the gently caress

Female characters in videogames. I don't give two shits if they have boobie plate or breast molded chestpieces, but could we have one or two that don't? That's all I'm asking for. You can have a billion male characters and monsters that are dudes to your hearts content, but it's like every single game studio thinks every single female character should be tits mcgee. Welp jobs done everyone, every lady (ie 1-3 playable characters) has massive knockers, revealing clothing and is a dumb support character. Even Evolve, the game where the only female monster has tits and rear end, has a grandmother in a giant homemade mech suit.

People who leave out huge details in their stories to make themselves look better. Coworker is super guilty of this. "SO I got written up for leaving 10 minutes early! Everyone does that, the manager is out to get me!" But no one else leaves early. And yes, you leaving 20 minutes early because "we're slow" WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE OR ASKING THE MANAGER is a write-up offense! "My son was suspended for threatening the principal! My god, it's PC gone mad!" Except for the fact her kid was kicked out of class for being disruptive, refused to go see the principal, and when they finally dragged him in, he told the guy in a very cold voice that he wasn't afraid of him, but the principal SHOULD be afraid of the kid. Yes. Suspend that fucker and teach your son some loving discipline.

I drive a taxi. I get on with most people. It's a mellow kinda job. There's been some odd incidents - a dude died, a woman gave birth, a guy pointed a shotgun at me, I got punched in the face by a guy who thought I'd kidnapped his daughter - but by and large everyone is nice and chill and the job's okay and the money'll be fine for the 2 years until I get my degree and Uber destroys everything. I can listen to my music, read books in between fares, all is smoov. There's a certain kind of person, though, so ubiquitous and common that I think there's a factory in the Gorbals stamping them out. An archetypal bampot who's a total loving pain in the arse and never fails to annoy me. Always, without exception, dudes from Glasgow in their late middle age, who have gotten rich off of some kind of trade skill - usually joinery - and are thoroughly convinced that they are witty when actually they're just rude cunts. I mean, everyone from Glasgow thinks they're witty, Billy Connolly managing to spin money from poo poo pub anecdotes has hoodwinked the lot of them, but these guys in particular are swinging and missing. They are always kinda leathery and reddened, square-sausage complexion and immaculate clothes, with cobalt blue eyes and spikey receding white hair and too much cologne. I swear, I can smell one of these fuckers coming a mile away, and tell you what they're going to say before they say it. They'll get in and name some super faraway location and go HA JUST JOKIN' MATE PURE GOT YIR HOPES UP THERE EH. You switch the meter on and they go HA FIVER FOR CASH MATE HA HA. When you get there they'll always go NOW WHAT KIND OF DEAL YE GONNAE DAE ME HA HA. They always have a slightly beaten-down wife with them, and make caustic jokes at her expense. Invariably the wife has a never-named "yir fucken sister", who is given pelters. They'll always ask for my personal phone number "So's ah kind git a taxi when ah come back", and then get snitty when I'm not willing to work an extra 8 hours just to babysit him. Invariably they'll start going on about the Rangers Newco, cause they're always the most toxic kind of bigot. If anyone else makes a joke their little faces will purse in disapproval, and they'll pause and go "Eh, no" because being funny in the presence of The Weegie Alpha is offensive somehow. If anything doesn't go their way, the battle cry is always "Hi mate your attitude's fucken stinkin...ah ken yir boss". So yeah, a weird one. gently caress those dudes. Is there a name for when you get, like, the same kind of person repeated over and over, like some grotesque real-life palate swap?

I've never gotten a straight answer on this. They shouldn't. This is my peeve. Nobody gives a poo poo about people with developmental issues and especially physical deformities because it's not trendy to stand up for them on social media. I see the same social rights heroes say poo poo like, "This retard came in the other day..." or even worse making fun of respite care workers who are with their clients out in public. It's insane how many regular, everyday folk literally think people with disabilities shouldn't be allowed to restaurants and public places and believe it's a shame they weren't aborted. People can be selective in where their morals and beliefs stand, but if you really want to judge character see how someone acts around a person with a severe disability.
