People who don't use their headlights during torrential storms but on sunny days.

Wait, I need to add another one. A lady stopped to ask me for directions and a car approached behind her. Plenty of room for him to get around. Yet, he stopped for a millisecond and started blaring his horn. WTF is your hurry? Then, he proceeded into McDonald's. I've seen this happen three times in my neighborhood -- people driving so fast only to veer into McDonald's. I guess their food is a drug.

Taking the last soda from the personal vending machine in my office and not replacing it, even though the box of soda cans is right next to the freaking machine!

people who carry those ridiculously huge golf umbrellas down crowded city streets when it's barely drizzling.

People who insist on sitting right next to you in an airport, even though there are rows of empty chairs where they could stretch out if they wanted to. Or when there are tons of treadmills free at the gym (and there are at mine) and someone comes along and uses the one RIGHT next to you, even though they could have used one 3 or 4 treadmills away.

Freedom haters who are more interested in protecting terrorists than Americans and Jesus.  That and people that don't stop for a school bus that has its blinkers blinking.

Or people who stretch out over two or three seats, either with their bodies or their shit, leaving no two seats together for people who arrive after them. Or people who insist on sitting one seat apart, again leaving no two seats available for people who are together.

People who go to the front of the waiting line while flying Southwest, ignoring all the people who are sitting by their bags.

Or Southwest in general, for having first come first server seating, like you're taking the fucking bus or something.

I think they want to meet you.     :eek:  
 Similarly, but with cars...Ever park on the other side of the parking lot to avoid dings to your car? When you return, the parking lot is still mostly open, yet, a car is parked so closely, you can barely get in?

People in the locker room who use the benches like they're their personal dressing tables.  Using the entire bench to hold their gymbag, shoes, dirty clothes, towels, water bottle and anything else they brought with them, all while they're in the shower for 20 minutes.

I do that all the time.  And by "that" I mean, when I see a car that's parked diagonally across the lanes and in an empty, far-flung corner of the lot, I park right next to it.
