People who go straight in a turn only lane?

Being in an elevator with one other person who is telling someone intimate details of their last date on their cell phone?

People who take 20 minutes to get cash from an ATM....

Waiting in line at one of these convenience stores and the person paying is paying in pennies.

Dealt with that just yesterday. On top of having a cart full of groceries, then they had to split it into two transactions all the while waiting for them to pull out their recyclable bags.

Sending the bank canister back to the teller 3-4 times in the drive-through.

Something related to this, that I've only seen in San Antonio.

Why is that when there's a 2 lane road that is going to merge into another road on the left, people post the sign "Left lane ends, merge right".
If the road is going to merge to the left.... shouldn't the right lane be the one that ends?

These signs are located on the outer road that goes over San Pedro at 410, right by the North Star Mall.

People who make right turns slow as all get out!

I don't understand why people take their time making right turns onto streets, and into businesses. Traffic comes to basically a stop behind these people.

'cause they can't see over the top of their steering wheel? Irks the crap out of me too, OK you gotta slow down to make the turn but 2MPH?

Won't even mention the people who do 30MPH in the left lane on 410...

Jaywalkers who make you brake for them as they slowly cross the street.

People from Mexico who think Tex-Mex food is not 'real' Mexican food. They don't realize it is an American cuisine that originated here. The same for those who belive the regional dialect is bad Spanish then try to correct you. They don't realize their dialect is the one which is not indigenous to this region. However people do things in any given region, the ones who have been there the longest, are doing it right for that area.

All others who lack intelligence in town. Most likely who do not read books often if ever at all. Then they believe your opinion is one you made up or something. Like, no, I just read.

It really sucks being surrounded by stupid people. I often wish of moving to Canada (that is how far one would have to go to find any sophistication maybe) for that reason but I doubt I could bear the cold.

Those who litter the Greenways. Please eat your junk food before entering the trail.

And finally guys who don't wash their hands after finishing up in public restrooms but just walk right out even touching the door handle. I never touch a door handle with my bare hand unless it is at home. My wife has seen people do this too.

So basically stupid people and dirty, gross ones too are the ones I really look down on.
