I judge anyone who misses the letter G out when they say the word "recognise".

Nosing (instead of reversing) into a parking spot. You always pick the conditions of your arrival, but not always your departure. Also, reversing into traffic is ridiculous and illegal in some places. Parking nose-first is dangerous and lazy.

EDIT: Love how you're all justifying your bad driving habits. Camera? Still can't scan for incoming traffic. Bad weather only on occasion? It's more than bad weather that can make reversing out of a door dangerous.

... and I HATE angle parking.

Parallel parking, or angled parking?

People typing whatever is the latest fad, such as "rn', " tbh", etc.

No-one has ever been able to tell me what they do with all that time that they saved with the abbreviations.

Look, I'm sorry, but eating fast food. Have some self respect.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I don't mind when people eat fast food, but I do get annoyed when people brag about eating fast food.

Especially now that prices have inflated so it's no longer corporate factory machine cheap.

There are so many random food places even in the most rundown parts of a city that have both much better quality and bang for buck.

I'd even argue you're not getting an authentic philly cheese if you get it from a place that's not in the ghetto or has been advertised online in any capacity. And the funny thing is the real one is usually cheaper too.

I'm sorry, but a Baja Blast guy and sometimes I don't know what to Mountain Dew.

When I was at my lowest I spent close to $3000 on McDonald's in 2 months. Just went through all my savings eating fast food multiple times a day. Now it's hard for me to even eat it

I have a stark reminder of the worst period in my life where I did the same. The "account performance" chart in an investment of mine showed steady growth and monthly inputs, then there's a cliff, and over a period of a few months, it's completely emptied. Thousands, easily. And the vast majority was fast food and liquor

Not putting the toilet seat down.

Leaving things they decided they don't want just wherever in a store. It's annoying as a customer, because now I have to dig through their mess to get the product I actually wanted, and even moreso as an employee.

At least put it back in the right department. The underpaid employees who have been there since before the store opened really don't want to have to play the game of "How long has this ground beef been sitting in a produce basket, and how much product did we just lose?"

I remember a story of a guy talking about how the store reeked and smelled terrible. After doing tons of searching at the epicenter of the smell, turns out some guy hid a 5 pound beef brisket on the bottom shelf, hidden behind a bunch of breakfast cereal.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (5 children)

You can and will find terrifying things working in grocery.

I once found a pack of beef jerky that had become 90% mold. It was tucked all the way towards the back of the shelves, partially shoved into the crack between two of them. We had no clue how long it had been sitting back there, because jerky rarely needed a full teardown.
