I don't like alcohol (liquor, beer, and wine.) I've tried plenty of different wines and all types of beer and still haven't found any that I like. I've taken shots before, but only because its quick and I wanted to get drunk. Don't like margaritas either. Obviously there is something wrong with me.
This is mostly me too. I will drink a Smirnoff, twisted tea, or frozen margarita/daiquiri. I just hate the taste of alcohol. I've tried dozens of beers and wines.
I'm going to need examples of how I am endangering pedestrians (and bus riders?) by looking at my phone for a second while my car is at a full stop.
I'm not talking about playing Pokemon Go or ordering new furniture, just typing like "omw" or reading a brief text.
I'm at a crosswalk with my child and our bikes. You're looking at your phone. Even though the light is mine, I don't let my kid take one step into the street until you acknowledge that she's there. Also, 9/10 times, you're in a giant SUV and can't see her anyway. We walk and bike everywhere and I now see my child as basically a moving target for distracted assholes.
I get super pissed by hordes of cyclists in local parks on the roads. So many think they own the road. I want a separate path for cyclists. Damn them all and their attempts at good health and longevity.

I complain about cyclists a lot, and this shit is the reason why. It's not all cyclists that irritate me, it's the ones that take their heavily spandexed asses to the most narrow and winding roads, then ride side by side. I can't pass because I have no idea if there is an oncoming vehicle, so it backs up traffic and we're all crawling our way along until there is a safe place to pass.
I feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about it.
Fucking road bikers. They probably crossfit too. It's getting ridiculous around here. The highway between Canmore and Banff is ridiculous. I can't even imagine what would be fun about doing it in your area. The hills, the heat..fuck that shit.

I said riding the bus just because few people can truly walk EVERYWHERE. But whatever, spend a week not driving and you'll get it.
Have you ever accidentally taken your foot off the brake for split second? Well, if there's a pedestrian crossing in front of you, you're more likely to realize what you've done. If you're texting, you're less likely to realize it and you're more likely to hit a pedestrian. You need to be aware of your surroundings, even when your car is stopped. (And yes, texting takes more concentration than changing the radio station.) Maybe there's an emergency vehicle approaching. Maybe something else weird is going on that you need to be aware of. And inevitably, the people texting don't notice when the light is green and hold up traffic. Or they just finish typing out those last five words as they start going through the light, and of course they don't notice that they're turning while a pedestrian is crossing.

But why do you need to read a text at that very moment? Just put your phone on silent in the back seat.
There is no good that can come from it and there is potential harm that can come from it.
And maybe you have "perfect" texting at a stop light behavior but it seems like the vast majority of people don't.
I seriously dreaded moving out of nyc now that I have to drive more because of people who text and drive. Thankfully I can still take public transport a lot, I avoid driving at all costs.
I can't believe there are people who refuse to vote in cat contests! Kids, I can understand. I get secondhand embarrassment for some of those babies whose parents think they're cute enough to win a contest. But cats? The only thing that makes me hesitate to vote is that they all deserve a prize!
My brother and his fiance are thinking of a new year's eve wedding.
Unpopular opinion: getting married on a major holiday, especially one typically associated with high air fares, is douchey. Yes, I mean you "but then people didn't need to take that Labor Day Monday off of work" and "but people loved the valentine's day theme!"
YES. And all you motherfuckers who are about to respond about the "holiday vacation" your guests ended up with? And how they all told tou it was like, the best wedding EVER? They lied to you, okay? Because nobody wants to spend July 4th weekend at awedding. Nobody.

We have an out-of-town NYE wedding this year. As if getting a sitter on NYE isn't hard enough, let alone asking for a whole weekend!
Friends of ours from the shore got married NOT down the shore on Labor Day weekend. For a good chunk of the crowd there, summer holiday weekends are meant for the shore!

Because you are the jerk still stopped when the light turns green for example. Pay attention and put your phone down. I don't want to miss a light because you are checking twitter.
I get annoyed when I see "watch out for motorcycle" stickers. They are on like 40% of cars around here. Helmets are not mandatory so the bikers don't wear them.
If they don't even care about their own heads, don't tell me what to do!
That being said I stay far far far away from motorcycles, I want NOTHING to do with getting in an accident with one. I just get annoyed with the stickers.

Baby on board signs make me unreasonably angry. I mean, if you care about your baby so much, why are you obstructing the window with a sign?
