Over politeness - 3 dudes walk up to a restaurant and then they jump all over each other to open the door for one another. "After you", "No, after you", "OK, fine, but I'm getting the next one!!" Unless someone is handicapped, STFU, open the door, and walk through0

when someone drinks/eat the last anything and you were looking forward to consuming it yourself!! OR, when they eat the last thing and leave the packaging in the fridge or cabinet. Ugh0

That reminded me of those overly-polite gophers from Bugs Bunny.

When people post on a forum they completely disagree with, get defensive and claim they were just trying to help point out their own opinions on the OP.
You read the title and more than likely the first post, STFU already and move on.0 -
The zipper merge is a great theory, but never really works in practice - every morning on my commute, I go through a section of highway where 2 lanes merge into 1 as you approach downtown Cleveland. Notice is provided by signs about 5 miles out. What happens is: the decent human beings start merging when they can safely do so, the scumbags rush to the very front of the open lane and put on their blinkers and squeeze in at the last minute, because you know, their time is so much more valuable than everyone else's and they just can't be bothered to wait like the rest of us...0 -

And therein lies the problem. "The decent people merge when they can and the and the scumbags rush to the front"
Those "scumbags" are actually doing it properly. It's become such an issue here that there have been commercials and radio spots put out telling people to stop getting over early and merge at the merge point in turns. If everyone were to follow the rule, traffic would move a lot smoother.0 -

This!!!! Completely!
Also,
-"I could care less"
-And, subject-verb agreement (or well, lack thereof)
"If you know someone selling a couch, tell them to call me"
("someone" is singular, "them" is plural)
the word "irregardless" - thats the worst!
I understand many people are speaking/typing English as a second language and they do not understand all of the rules of the language; I have no issue with those situations. I am immediately pissed when i hear/read it from an educated person/reputable source.0 -

If the city wants to implement a zipper merge, then they need to set up signs and instruct drivers appropriately. Otherwise, the merge point is just a clusterf*ck of angry people, with no one understanding what they are supposed to do. Absent instructions, people need to merge when the sign tells them to merge, not race to the front of the line and pull a stunt that slows things down even more.

Isn't it just a general rule already though? I didn't think it changed from city to city. Our state is indeed enforcing it. The signs that warn you are doing just that "merge ahead" not "merge now." The warning signs are to make you aware that people will be soon merging into your lane and you should let them.

I'll be honest, I never heard the term "zipper merge" until this thread, nor have I seen a sign that reads "merge HERE" vs "merge AHEAD". It makes sense, if everyone was on board with it.0 -

Yeah, I guess if people aren't aware it's really no ones fault. Folks think they are being polite or "doing the right thing" by getting over early and then they get upset and wont let others in because they believe those people are being jerks.
Honestly, it would probably do us all some good to take some refresher courses in our adulthood. Especially regarding rush hour issues. Things like the zipper merge and always keeping a few car lengths between you and the car in front of you (even when it's bumper to bumper) to allow people to get over when needed (instead of tailgating) would really help the flow of traffic in majorly congested areas.

OMG, I work with one of these, 'cept he's a guy. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. he passes someone he has to say hi in some fashion. It drives me batty.

omg this! I have a co-worker who does this - as you're talking she'll nod and randomly repeat words that you just said back to you, I think as a way to show that she's following along or knows what you're saying(?)... only thing is she is not the brightest crayon in the box and it just makes me want to scream "Stop repeating random words, I know you have no idea what the heck I'm even talking about!!!"

People who refuse to vaccinate their kids just drives me insane.
Oh, irrational, well I really don't like people that much at all....
This pisses me off too! Also idiots who refuse to spay and/or neuter their animals. Husband's best friend refused to neuter his idiot dog who was always running off and getting their neighbor's dog pregnant. Then HE blamed the neighbor for HIS dog getting inside their fence! Also, his unneutered cat ran away and got hit by a car. He didn't even care and says "oh well..animals can be replaced but testicles can't." I HATE HIM!

Humble brags- It infuriates me
people that respond to a post and do exactly what is said not to (ex: please no negative comments, <posts negative comment> )
When someone Stares at you when you are taking a selfie
People that are disrespectful to servers, janitors, cleaning ladies etc
Txting back to back after I don't respond- I'm obviously unable to respond so stop
Not holding the door for the person directly behind you
