I can back it up quicker than some people pulling in, which in turn makes it easier to pull out quicker than someone who just pulled right in; since they will have to slowly back up due to the fact that the majority of people are more cautious when going in reverse than when in drive. So there
Maybe you just think you're good at it

when my kids throw away food OR leave food out such that it is too melted/spoiled/whatever to eat--waste of money, starving children in Africa, etc etc. HATE the wasting of food.0

People who do not use their turn signals.
People who don't understand statistics and thus waste time fussing about the small things (small things that are believed to be big). Specifically, if you complain about texting and driving, you should complain about turn signals 10 times more. There are 10 times more crashes in the US because of turn signals than because of texting. If you really want to avoid crashes, use your resources on what causes more crashes.0 -

When some random person Flags you and you have no idea why. Did I hurt your feelings when I rated you as a 5? Or said Pass too many times? Sensitive people out here who just can't take a joke.0

We do it so we can leave our parking spot safer and avoid any irrational anger. So much for that!
Yeah, but the process of backing into the space, which takes extra time and is more difficult, negates the advantage when leaving.
Not if you do it right.0 -

Sometimes I back in, sometimes I don't. I get really annoyed, though, when people go straight in and still can't get it right. Last month, I was at a truck stop... there was only 1 parking space remaining, and some idiot in an SUV had parked over the line by more than a foot, taking up part of the space to its right. I have a small car, so I drove into the space and could still fit between the lines. Also, I could get out of my car because I'm a ninja (or I'm not so big that I can't fit...).0 -

I also hate it when someone goes straight in but can't get it right...oh, wait. What were you talking about? 0 -

You guys...lol
Somehow backing into a space between two giant metal objects is safer/faster than backing up into a large open space that is not walled in by metal and concrete. Makes sense (no it doesn't)0 -

It is usually the ones with larger ones who never figured out how to use them (vehicles, that is).

Listening to the girl who sits outside my office sniffle for 3 hours has made me angry today. I had to put my ear buds in to drown out the sound of her constant sniffling. GO. BLOW. YOUR. NOSE. you idiot, you're a grown woman, not a 4 year old.0

People that let their kids stand in the shopping carts0

As much as I dislike screaming children, injured children who have concussions (etc) from falling out of the shopping cart are worse. A child's head weighs a lot and makes it really easy for the child to topple out.0 -
Managers who say, "I don't remember saying that. I don't think I said that." Grrr.0

The sound of someone chewing or breathing. When someone shrugs or rolls their eyes. People who mope and act miserable and you can't make them happy no matter what you do. The Taco Bell drive thru.0

The flat, no texture, 16-color or 50 shades of grey UI designs that have become common in OS's, app, and applications in the past couple years.0

Loving this thread lol!
I do not remember if I already posted, but my long rant (sorry!) is about dog owners:
a. Dog walks
i. If a dog is walking ahead of you and not alongside or behind you, you are not walking the dog! And those flex-leashes, and those that go around the dog’s trunk, rather than the neck are the worst kind!
ii. Walking the dog while texting/using phone. The walk (and mastering it) is the most important and powerful thing in a dog’s life
b. Talking to a dog in a “baby/cooing” voice...ugh!
c. When people meet a dog and think it okay to pet it right away (while using the “baby” voice) – this is not how dogs meet. They smell each other and etc. Why not be patient? Do not look, touch, or talk to the dog until he/she has smelled you? It takes quite a bit of patience, but that is the right way. And you will once in a while hear a complaint that, “I just bent down to say hello to the dog, and suddenly he/she bit me,” oh?...but did you see/understand the dog’s body language before you did that, or did you just see the end result?
d. Double standards – when someone declares how their dog is their baby, yet do not restrain the dog, say, while driving (would you let your own child ride unrestricted in the vehicle?)
e. Blaming dogs (including not understanding powerful breeds – which lead to most being destroyed or being returned to shelters – though that there are red zone cases that are beyond salvage) for their behavior
i. The dog does not understand you shouting at it, and that he/she feels sorry and he/she is depressed about this and that…dogs pick up on energy. If you are a nervous person for example, the dog will not trust you. The dog may find a need to step in and “protect” its pack, hence why the dog would go after other dogs while on a walk, for example. Change you and the dog will change.
ii. At the dog park, you see a fight between dog A and B, then go on to blame dog B, yet it is your dog that entered the park with his tail held really high, did you notice that the whites of his eyes were more prominent? Did you see how your dog approached dog B (head-on as opposed from the side; was the head held high or low)? How was your frame of mind right before you left for the park, or before disembarking from the car? Did you see that when you approached that dog in a high-pitched, excited mind that the dog started jumping all over you? That may not be because he likes you…..
f. Using human psychology rather than dog/animal psychology on dogs
i. Can you tell an aggressive dog from a nervous, excited, obsessive one? Does your dog trust you? Are you a pack leader (not by hurting/reprimanding, but by being calm and assertive)
ii. Do you know (why) most (with the exception of a few) dogs in the rural areas/”free range” have less “psychological” problems, less medication etc?
iii. Do you understand the different barks/growls/stares?
iv. “I will not neuter/spay my dog because I will change his personality/he or she will be so depressed”…uhm…what? Lol
v. Do you fulfill the dog’s needs and desires (as an animal) first before yours (e.g., religiously walking, general wellness, food, shelter, giving the dog something to do etc) – dressing up a dog may be something you like, but that is not fulfilling the dog’s needs
vi. Do you follow through with your commands in a calm way, or do you get impatient and frustrated? Do you have set boundaries and limitations for your dog? Sometimes you find powerful people (in powerful positions) where they assert authority at work every day, but often ran down by their dogs at home lol
vii. Have you watched your dog in a pack or in the pack? You may learn a lot about your dog from the other dogs (sans humans). They are the best teachers
viii. Do you know why your dog barks all day or wees while you are away at work? Do you take him on a rigorous walk beforehand? Do you prep him to leave or do you coo, “I am going to work now…be a good boy now…you will be ok…it is ok…?”
g. Not picking after one’s dog
h. Thank you for saving lives of shelter dogs when you adopt one, but please choose the right dog for you. Just putting your fingers through the cage so he can smell, or thinking a dog is cute does not do.
How is the dog’s energy/personality matched to yours or your household’s? How do you meet the dog for the first time at the shelter? How do you introduce the dog to your home the first time? Do you know how to lay the foundation down for a well-balanced dog? How do you socialize your dog with others?
