Not exactly sure.
It's just the worst. The youth sports clips always kill me. "Timmy went 3-4 today with 2 triples and here are the clips". Lady, those are 2 singles with 4 errors. Nobody wants to watch their own kids play sports, let alone other people's kids.

I also know people who don't speak over political Facebook spats and I'll never understand it. You're not going to change anyone's mind. And if you think you can, pick up the damn phone and call them.

Facebook is the worst.
How about people who gotta drag politics up into everything? Many believe their opinion is “main stream” so it’s no big deal because it’s not really political. They are generally the worst because they do it the most.

Women who are set on reliving their high school/college days through their hairdresser and clothes. Don't get me started on Lullulemon leggings either!!

The stoplight goes red and 3 more cars drive right through.

The stoplight goes green and the person in the front doesn't move for 10 seconds because they are on their f*ckin phone.
People on their phones while driving has to be my biggest annoyance. It's not only dangerous, but leads to you sitting at the GD light for too long.

I wish SNL would do a skit about "Facebook Moms" mocking all the things they do and that it would go viral so these people could see how ridiculously stupid they are.

Men's white soled dress shoes. I'm fine with people wearing them and dudes look fine wearing them, but it's not my style. I had to stand up for myself when my wife wanted to get me a pair.
I get a lot of compliments about the pair that I have. That being said, I don't wear them when I want to look professional or formal. They are for nights when we go to a decent restaurant or speak easy. I don't think you wear them with dress pants, but with khakis or nice jeans.

People that don't think they need to merge into traffic until they are right upon the road constriction or the ones that want to go straight but thing going into the turn lane that people will autumatically let them in.

It's a weird me thing since they are popular because they are stylish but for some reason I can't do it.

Men who wear white framed sunglasses. I'm sorry, it just looks ridiculous to me. On girls/women it's a situational call. But on men - always a horrible look.

Edit: Not a fan of tats and facial hair.... either gender.
Oh I love a gal with lots of tats, probably too much lol.

Agree on the facial hair though.

We've become a nation of disheveled slobs. It's embarrassing.

Kind of interesting. I was reading a book about Eisenhower.

He was disturbed about how disheveled people looked on the street during his administration.

Eisenhower served in the 50s. Those folks would be high style now

Social media. AI. The overreliance on technology to even get into a goddam football game. We are already slaves to the phone. It will get much worse.

Smelling marijuana when you are following a car. This happens a couple of times a week for me now. I wonder if these people were filling their coffee mugs with liquor before it became legal.



Please note that I am in no way opposed to THC legalization (for reference I live in Minnesota) but this seems like really dangerous behavior to me.

A general PSA:

You can apparently afford the phone.

Then you can afford ear buds so the rest of us don't need to hear your conversation, pod cast or horrible music.

My brother in Denver drives a motorcycle to work, and smells the reefer constantly. He tells me it's really bad out there.

I miss the paper ticket so that I could tear it up if I got upset.
