    What I can never understand is who is so important that they just have to be on the phone in a public place. If it was personal I would quickly say I'll call you back. If it was business I would leave the public place and have the conversation somewhere private. I am always amazed going to a supermarket and observing people on their cell phone having a conversation from the time they come in till they exit.

    I can understand if you are trying to multitask and have the conversation while you are doing your shopping. But you should put the phone to your ear or wear headphones, not use speaker.

    And then there are people who just play their music on speaker, because obviously everyone wants to hear your music too.

        What do people do then? Play a game of chicken? Come to a full stop on the ramp? Crash into each other?

          I have removed my car's muffler and modified it to be even louder.

          I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

          I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I'm there.

          I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

          I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

          I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

          I feed people's pets without asking.

          I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

          I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

          I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

          I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

          I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.

            Let cars merge onto the highway?

            People do realize it's the merger's responsibility, right? I mean, don't block people in, but you should be holding your speed if you're in the right lane, not adjusting.

            Drive predictably, not nicely.

                properly zipper merging sometimes requires concessions of the driver in the lane being merged to

                  When the left lane does not adjust their speed for the incoming driver, the right lane is forced to slow down and sometimes stop completely if traffic is bad enough. This further increases traffic because now the left lane has to stop as well to allow the right lane to merge.

                    No, you can often see what's going on and adjust your speed a little to let merging work well, without causing risk to other traffic.

                    Well, I can at least.

                    You can also move in one lane if it's empty to let merging cars enter the outside lane easily.

                      This may be unpopular, but I don't use the dividers at checkout. I just wait my turn. Once all the previous person's stuff is scanned I start loading my stuff on the belt. By the time they finish paying, even with a tap card, I've got the belt full and I'm waiting again.

                      Some guy got mad at me at Costco recently for it. I guess he really wanted to get some stuff out of his cart while the person in front of me was still getting scanned. It feels like flooring it to every red light. You still have to wait, so what's the point?
