Things that frustrate us all

I've heard about theaters that carter to mature viewers and won't put up with that shit. I hope one day one opens here. I also used to go to one, probably two decades ago, that had tables and chair in the back and would serve pretzels, sodas, peanut butter stuff. A combo of that, with some confy and clean chairs -- I'd pay a couple or so dollars more to sit in a clean chair, have some good food and have fellow viewers that shut the fuck up.

I remember watchign a clip of the Jimmy Kimmel show where Andy Dick kept touching Ivanka Trump and she was getting unconfortable and finally Kimmel got up and started dragging Andy off the couch, then two other people on the set got him and they dragged him across the floor off set saying good-bye to him. Oh, how I'd love to see that happen to some yappers in a theater.

Encountered two more, again another at Wal-Mart.


One common misconception is that the pedestrian always has the right of way. Two examples of where they don't, is when they don't have the right to jaywalk across a road. Or just stand in it. So, that's exactlt what a lady decided to do. She's leaving Wal-Mart (exiting out the wrong door, too) and she's glued to her iPhone. She walks slowly and with soft steps like she's trying to find a noise in her house, then STOPS in the parking lot, brining traffic to a hault, while she's looking at her phone. Unfortunately there are no open manholes or foundtains for her to walk into like others you can find videos of on Youtube who cant' take their eyes off their phones and fall into.



Then on the way back, I'm at a four-way intersection. It's a green light, traffic is going. Then traffic slows and stops while in the intersection. Why? Some fucking dumbass on a bicycle crosses six lanes (two turning lanes included) and doesn't even stop, even though traffic is going and that he has a Don't Walk sign. If you ever wondered why Florida has such high bicyclist fatalities and injuries, well... here you go.

It reminds me of another bicyclist about two months ago who does the same thing, except he's plowing threw at a high speed, not even looking side-to-side, just doesn't give a fuck.
 
I've also come across a few cyclists, who think the rules of the road don't apply to them, well sorry but they do. Not to mention people who virtually come to a stop at give way sign, when you only have to give way to traffic joing from ahead (due to the junction also having traffic lights) and it's quite clear there is no one to give way to.

Same here, I've had this cold since well before Christmas. It is getting annoying.
 
People who think our grocery store parking lot is nothing but a shortcut to the freeway. It's called a parking lot, not a racing lot. I was nearly run down--at a marked crosswalk--going from my car to the entrance of the grocery store. He must've been doing 60mph, and nearly rear-ended a car that wasn't going fast enough to suit him.

Sounds as if they need to put in some sleeping policemen to slow down traffic.
 
Yes, I saw one car going fast and almost whack a guy. He smacked the car with one of his hand and told the driver off.

I've also almost been hit twice by drivers racing through the lot (going over parking spaces, not down the driving lanes).
