me too, I overuse the LOL and the exclamation point. 

This one hasn't been mentioned yet but I hate when people recline their seats on the plane.  I'm not even tall. Just way gets in my space and I never recline mine. I don't travel for work so maybe 5-6 times a year and I've noticed people are reclining them less so maybe I'm not alone.  I feel giddy when my person doesn't recline.  It's the best feeling.

People who remove their shoes literally anywhere that isn't their house, a pool, or a beach.

I don't want to see your rank ass socks or crusty feet in the waiting room/airport lounge/public transit/whatever. Aren't you worried about germs? Or stepping on something sharp or sticky?

Grown ass people who travel in pjs. I’m all for comfort, but let’s have a teeny bit of decorum. (Brought to you by a person who becomes Judgy McJudgerson every time she passes through Security at an airport and who has been on 9 planes in the past 4 weeks and is about to get on her 10th.)

As someone else who has had a lot of work travel in the last month, I also want to add the people who crowd the gate as soon as boarding starts and the people that immediately stand up and block the aisle as soon as the plane lands. Also, the people that cram their carryon, personal item, various shopping bags, and their coat into the overhead bin when space is at a premium.

Yes, to your last point! I really don’t understand why airlines don’t enforce the 2-item rule.

Men dating (and marrying) women they just don't like.

I once heard that women look for the right man to settle down, but men look for the right time. Whoever they're with when the time is right is the one they pick.

I thought that made sense, so using that logic this one I get.

[ssmjlm]

How the absolute idiot men in my neighborhood have found women’s to marry and procreate with.

Brought to you by my neighbor going absolutely BSC over a pallet that’s on his property line from the previous owners, but wanting to complain to the HOA like it’s on community property.

People who lose their minds at youth sports.

I was at my daughter’s JV soccer game yesterday morning. It was a rival game so was crowded despite the rain. It was a pretty even game with the final score being 1-0. One dad didn’t like a referee call and called the ref a cocksucker. The red stopped the game and he was immediately ejected. It was a spectacle. Keep your shit together. Jesus. Turns out it was one of our dads and my daughter said his daughter was so upset and embarrassed.

People who rush toward you to get in when you're trying to get out. This usually happens with elevators but it also happens in my pilates classes, which are held in a small space. And it just happened to me today when I was coming out of a bathroom and these two ladies came rushing toward me in a narrow pathway to get to the stall. Wait for the people to exit before you come crowding in!!

This is infuriating!

[SwimDeep]

People who cut the line at Publix only to shout (I'm not exaggerating) at the employees about whether they are cooking more rotisserie chickens and when they will be ready and SHE WANTS TO RESERVE ONE THIS IS HER NAME! 🤯🥴

Okay, Jessica 🙄 there's like three people here, but sure they will absolutely make sure you get a chicken. But they do have to finish cooking it first 'cause, you know, they don't want to get sued by your entitled ass so yeah I guess you do get to wait like the rest of us lowly peasants IN LINE.

She huffed away when they told her it would be 5 minutes, and I just cracked up. It was so dramatic and ridiculous. The kid in line behind me looked freaked out and I just said, "That was hilarious" and kept laughing. But he had already placed his order! Two minutes later, they bring out a piping hot rotisserie chicken for him!

She came back a few minutes later while I was ordering and blocked me in against the counter with her cart 😑 then started drumming her nails against the glass. I'm over it at that point, so I made eye contact, smiled, and said, "They're just packing up the chickens now. They'll be right out." I got a "Great" and an eye roll and then I said "Excuse me" while I moved her cart so I could leave the counter.

I do not (and never will) understand how some people are okay with treating other people like trash. I have been stressed to my limit. I get it. I still manage to be kind and courteous.

The obsession with resin objects. The amount of glitter and junk added to them make it less appealing too. Stop with the over consumption nonsense

People who can run when pregnant.

I’m active and an athlete. I was active during my pregnancy and had a very easy pregnancy with no real pain or anything. But trying to run while pregnant it felt like my uterus was going to come out of my body, even at 12-15 weeks. I quickly got rid of the idea that I’d be doing any running during pregnancy and did other things for exercise. I don’t understand how it doesn’t feel like that for everyone!

I had varicose veins…everywhere 😭 it hurt to walk. I was super active prior to pregnancy but I couldn’t do a thing after my 2nd trimester

One of my friends ran the NYC marathon 36 weeks pregnant. In 4:20. The day before she gave birth, she ran 4 miles. It just seems so uncomfortable.

Same on the tube - I use elbows and don't move out of the way while also shouting, 'let us off first'. I give no fucks what people think any longer.

Whoa! Yes, crazy. I could do Zumba, yoga, walking, etc, but running felt like my uterus was falling down to my knees. It wasn’t painful just you know they say "listen to your body" and I don’t think your uterus is supposed to be falling to your knees haha.

Each pregnancy can be different on that. My sister is a triathlete and planned to train through pregnancy. In her first she couldn’t run for similar reasons, so continued swimming and bike (on a trainer indoors), but her second she ran all the way through. She did 10 miles the morning she went into labor and said she would do another 10 if she got discharged (she was trying for VBAC but her doctor wasn’t super supportive) to run that baby out. Said baby is now 7 and never ever stops moving…

Yep totally understand that. I tell all my patients that each pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage and birth experience can wildly vary. Was just adding to the conversation re "what you don’t understand" full well knowing that plenty of people can run without difficulty! Thankfully I’ll never be pregnant very long if I ever do get pregnant again, so will not be able to test the "every pregnancy is different" concept!

It doesn't make sense to me that one of the college professors I'm working with - who appears to be 60 years old, at most - did not understand what I meant when I said to "open a new tab in your browser" or to "refresh this page."

This does not shock me. Most of my online professors have zero idea how to use the program for assignments. I try really hard to not judge anyone over 50 on lack of technology. They were not part of the tech in school era. But damn if it is your job at least learn it!

Haphazardly stapling documents. Line that shit up and make it look decent. It will cause less wrinkles and snags.

Also can we please stop with paper in general? My new job is not digital yet. Being in the accounting department makes it difficult, but not impossible. Our goal is EOY 2025

I don’t understand people who don’t want to talk at work. We are at work for hours and hours. Twice a week they force us to use this open concept office space to … I don’t know why they make us but since we are here, let’s acknowledge it. Give me something, anything to chat about for a few minutes to break up my day.

I don't understand the appeal of the 12' Halloween skeleton. It's such a fucking eyesore. The hatred I feel for it is completely unreasonable. I absolutely would not care if it was 6' tall because I'd barely even see it. It's the ridiculous scale of the thing that makes it impossible to ignore.

I am incredibly thankful my neighbor only puts it out for a month or so around Halloween. I'd lose my mind if I had to look at this thing every time I step outside year round.

I DO NOT understand drivers who think they are being nice by letting someone have the right of way when THEY are supposed to be the one going. No matter how clear they think they are being in signaling they are letting someone go, it is so dangerous because not everyone else around them might also be letting the person go. It's on the person going to be sure ALL traffic is clear, but I've so many near accidents lately because someone is letting someone go, so they go, but they almost get hit by someone else.

And then there's me, who refuses to not follow the correct flow of traffic, so when someone stops to let me go but they should be the one going, I just sit there and wait for them to go, and it just holds up traffic for everyone.
