I assume most people like the handicapped stall so I usually avoid it as it's probably used most often.mac5155 wrote:having to poop in a single stall as opposed to a larger handicapped one.

Salt water taffy.
Everyone who visits a beach gives you salt water taffy, especially in the workplace. So tired of it. I actually stopped eating it as a kid. Just over it.
I thought this was funny from Salt water taffy's Wikipedia page: "Contrary to popular belief, the taffy contains no salt water (seawater). However, it does contain both salt and water."

I am anti-swt myself. So overrated.
Instead, I bring back cans of nuts from Try My Nutz. Aside from the fact that I can chuckle at the name like a little kid, it's actually something people can enjoy.

I think Mythbusters confirmed that, IIRC.

People that "throw" themselves into the crosswalk when they see traffic coming, and then give you the look like they had the right of way.
I would like to make every one of them my personal hood ornament.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Not sure if you're agreeing with me or sarcastically saying they have the right of way at any and all situations.
I am not referring to the people who look both ways, cross, and shoot a mean glare to a car that never slowed up. Those people have a right to be pissed. I'm talking about people who walk out with no abandon whatsoever, sometimes not even checking both directions before doing so. This is more common in areas of parking lots without stop signs or especially in random sections near a grocery store.
If you're guessing my rant is resulting from driving by Giant Iggle where a person didn't check both ways before crossing in a non-crosswalk area, then you are probably correct.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
It's like the biker that is passing on the right side of cars sitting at the red light and the light changes, car turns right and the biker freaks out because the car almost hit him... like he was supposed to know you were illegally passing cars and planned to go straight?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I hate the "I'm going to come all the way to the crosswalk, watch you get closer, and decide to cross right as you're about to reach the crosswalk".

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Unrelated to pedestrians in crosswalks, but I hate group work. Especially when that group work is solely online. I sent something to my group around 11:30 this morning so they could check formatting and stuff before I continue. Haven't heard a thing. I kinda want to get this done.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Yeah, I'm with JS© on this one. You really can't exercise right of way in a manner that creates a hazard.
One of my favorite stories..... an ex-team mate of mine told me about this time he was in a cab in NYC. Pedestrian trundled right out causing panic braking and was just walking along the beside cars. It effectively blocked vehicular traffic from passing on the very narrow Manhattan streets. After nearly a block there was a bit of a gap, and the cabbie pulled up and in a very calm voice said out the window, "Sir, do you know why this is called a 'street'?" The guy looked at him like, "Who, me?" And the cabbie screamed "BECAUSE IT'S NOT A F**KING SIDEWALK, A**HOLE!! GET YOUR D**K SLOBBERING FACE OUT OF MY WAY!!"
Remember, with a fare in the backseat. I like that story.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
When I was in Norway pedestrians would cross the street without even looking. They did it all the time, without thinking twice about it. In fact, locals in Norway can tell when a pedestrian is foreign when they come to a crosswalk and wait for traffic to pass.
I think in most situations, if not all, the pedestrians have the right of way in the US, but I can't think of anywhere I see that practiced... at all.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Pedestrians don't have the right of way unless they are in a crosswalk or designated pedestrian area. Of course you can't just run them over with your car with impunity, but they can be ticketed for jaywalking.
