Being completely unaware of anyone else:

Standing in doorways, using your phone or having a conversation
Talking loudly when inappropriate, when I’m in pain at the doctors, I don’t want to hear about your roses
leaving your shopping trolley blocking the aisle sideways in the supermarket while looking for your stuff
driving down the middle of the road so everyone else has to pull over, when there’s plenty of room for two cars to pass
stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
riding your delivery bike down the footpath at high speed weaving between pedestrians

As Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Hell is other people”.

That's my new pet peeve. The thing is I don't remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone's brains way more than we realize.

Someone stopped in front of me… on an offramp. Luckily there was nobody behind me to hit me, but that’s an insane place to stop. No hazard lights, no indication. Just stopped.

I once got caught behind someone who came to an abrupt stop in a roundabout so they could go to the next episode / video on their iPad that they had attached to their dashboard.

I once had someone do an emergency stop in front of me for no apparent reason in the fast lane of a not very busy motorway. I barely managed to stop in time from high speed.
