    Guys that are clueless and fail to acknowledge and/or practice the mandatory urinal spacing rule.

    Same sex bathrooms. That is so wrong on so many levels.

    Yes, always leave an empty urinal between you and the next guy and if every other one is already in use look to the stalls. Only after these options are....wait, you dont like same sex bathrooms? I think coed would change the whole urinal spacing thing.

    It's complicated enough already. Then you have to throw in the boy, girl, space continuum and it would take a mainframe computer to do the calculations.

    Rude people period. Young "men" with their pants at 1/2 mast. The "Expert" on anything. Armchair warriors. Being politically correct. Best quit before I write a book.

    Well, I'm an expert at folks wearing their drawers at half mast. Been doing it for years. I wear the same size pants I wore in the 8th grade. I just wear them a lot lower.

    I'll finish this up sometime. Benesse, I should be there shortly.

    No bacon, no twinkies...lots of sardines, hot sauce & wine/Red Stripe.
    Chilled watermelon, just for the axing.

    Another perennial peeve: people who are always late and more than 10 minutes. Supreme rudeness and disregard for other people's time.
    When it's friends, I tell them in advance that I'm leaving after 10 minutes, and I have.

    I've been stopped, half way down the driveway, by my other half yelling from the front door........Hey, if we agree that we are going to leave at a specific time, that's what I expect. LOL

    Here's another:
    People who can't order a single meal without going into 20 questions about how it's prepared and finally, if they can substitute x for y. Just order the damn thing and stop torturing the wait person and holding the table hostage.
    Or people who wan to share everything. Again, with good friends, I'll announce that I know what I want and I'm not sharing. With people I don't know well, I'll go along to get along.

    Default Moving right along...

    People who don't know how to have a conversation--you know, give and take, back and forth.
    No, they have a long monologue. They don't ask any questions, they just want to say their piece no matter how loooong it takes. You just sit there, nod your head, start going mentally through your grocery list and fall asleep with your eyes open.
    If you're single and doing this, stop, or you'll be single forever. If you're married and doing this, stop, or you won't be married for long. Or your other half will kill you in your sleep.

    Hey, you shouldn't have started a thread if you didn't want to know.

    Then there are people who don't talk much at all.
    You gotta do all the work to keep the conversation going. Or you'll be sitting there checking out the ceiling, your nails, picking off lint from your sweater or just staring at your drink.

    Default "Like", wtf?!

    Look, basically, at the end of the day, sort of, the optics and the narrative...

    ...spell out, people are fast becoming illiterate, inarticulate and lazy in expressing themselves. Media, politicians, experts and professionals, using filler words and cliches every time they open their mouth. Cant's answer a question without beginning with "Look" or using "Basically" every third word. Or "Sort of" when they can't commit to cogent point.

    I honestly think it's worse than ever and it's driving me around the bend.
