These are the ones that drive up to the pump and go inside while I'm there with a credit or debit card ready to fill up but have to wait on them to get their Big Gulp and jerky, they really chap my azz

How about the people that use their turn signal to let you know what the car in front of them is doing. Then they turn their blinker off and continue straight. This one kills me
Or the people that put their blinker on early for an intersection and pass other areas (roads with no traffic signal, parking lots) where another car is waiting to enter the main roadway. Probably not illegal but you are borrowing trouble potentially inviting someone to pull right out in front of you. Almost learned my lesson the hard way when I put my blinker on too early and had someone pull out in front of me when I had my learner's permit.

In a Mickey dees drive thru this morning. The car in front of me gets to second window. I see the food being handed to her. Then a conversation ensues between driver and employee. Laughing, yelling, head bobbing, all of it. For 3 minutes!! Was about to honk my horn but then remembered I was in the rav4 and its tonal toy horn. Infuriating that people have absolutely NO consideration for others!
Possible solutions: 1) don't use the drive-thru (what you're describing is one of the many reasons I avoid drive-thrus); and 2) pull into a designated parking space and use the McDonalds app to order (the MickieD app is by far the best fast food app . . . try it, and you'll see).

Ok. Just realized this one this morning. Airlines. They take these puddle jumper planes that were designed for three wide seating and squeeze in a fourth seat. That in itself isn’t that bad but they go and hire a bigun flight attendant and put them on the smallest most cramped plane. You got a 16” aisle and a 24” azz going back and forth. Not only is she dang near taking my shoulder out of socket every trip but she’s wearing the finish off the aisle seats. Big gals have every right to be a flight attendant but put their azz on a 747!

Doesn't bother me in the least. I know it's not proper, but at least they're trying to be courteous in a world full of azz holes.

Man I used to agree with you on this until the following happened. Was driving on a country road. Car in front of me turned on left blinker. I didn’t. When we had slowed down car behind me whips out and starts to pass, hitting, effectively t boning the car in front of me as he’s turning left. After that I felt if I had turned mine on he would t have tried to pass what I guess he thought was cars slowing down for whatever reason. I’ve turned mine on since then whether right or wrong. Just didn’t want to question myself in that situation again.

Yep same, its to tell the impatient idiot behind you that the slow one in front of you is about to turn right in front of them.

I see that side of it but the person in front of you should have never put themselves in that situation. They should have turned their blinker on and gotten into the oncoming lane since it was empty, allowing you and the vehicle behind you to continue on and maintain your speed.

Several things:
1. stop eating fast food. it does you no good.

2. to avoid drive through shenanigans, just get your lazy A** out the car and go inside. I can deal with poor customer service much better @ the counter, than I can deal with poor customer service AND blatant idiocy in my car behind a fool that wants to read the menu and continually change their order at the window

3. if you have to go through a drive through and eat fast food, Just go to Chic-Fil-A.....they have perfected the drive through, and since they are closed on Sunday, I don't really consider it fast food (alas, I only get salads and milkshakes there)

I have very occasionally been behind people that make impulse buys as they see the total ringing up and realize they can grab a pack of gum or something without having to break another bill. Probably similar to or slightly less than how often I'm behind people who have to or just decide to pull stuff out of the checkout line to cut the cost. But never have I been behind somebody that gets their change back, and then make a separate purchase. I'm fascinated that this is a common occurrence some places. I've spent plenty of time in Jackson, the Delta, Hattiesburg, the Coast, Starkville and Oxford. Less time in the Tupelo and Desoto county and very little in other parts. Where does this happen often enough to complain about it as a common occurrence rather than something off the wall?
Warren County. It was a very common occurrence when I lived there to have a person ask “how much do I get back?” Then they’d look around the counter and grab something else. Then the same question and do it again until the money is gone. These were adults. I was there visiting family during the holidays this year and that very same thing happened at a Circle K by the Walmarts.
