Online order carts and lard asses on motorized carts constantly in the way of people who aren't morbidly obese or too lazy to do their own grocery shopping.

Using speakerphone in public

Watching YouTube/tiktok with volume way up in public

I used to make fun of people who walked around with Bluetooth headsets on all the time (then air pods) and I completely regret that and wish we could go back to the good ole days

Boys begging on the side of the road so their travel football team can go to "nationals" while a bunch of obese moms sit nearby in lawn chairs. At least wash a few cars so you can pretend to provide value.

People not getting married and not having children because of terrible ideology.

Pretty much the american culture of the last 15 years.

It's Ok. The ones that believe this are so gullible we don't want them procreating anyway! I enjoy the trend.

Kinda like all the wierdos that went on a sex strike. I think all it saved was thousands of battery hours.

Tip calculations starting at 18% for counter service restaurants


Was baching about this just minutes ago IRL. A lot of BBQ place where I do takeout start there, with no custom tip option. So they get zero, instead of a few bucks. No way I'm tipping $10 and up for picking up food at a counter - sometimes after standing in line. Food trucks are the worst for that, but even some regular restaurants do that.

I wonder who the hell is actually leaving $10, $20 and up tips for picking up at a counter.

Lots of folks. My son works in a pit room in the metroplex. Tip share increases his hourly wage by $8-$10 per pay cycle. 20k per year increase per employee is pretty impressive, especially for 18-20 y/o's. I was shocked when I first saw it.

I was at SeaWorld with my cousin and our kids

We order lunch which came out to $100

Prompt came up and he just hit 18% like it was nothing.

I was like, holy crap, you just tipped $18 for lame amusement park food that's all self serve.

I know most people aren't that oblivious but it also is a reflection of how putting everything on a card deadens us to how much we're actually spending.

If there was just a tip jar there there is no way he would have stuffed $18 in there.

Because anyone behind them has to stop and wait for them to crawl into the parking place, most of the time taking an extra 2 or 3 attempts to straighten out because they're in something way bigger than they can handle.

Exactly.

To back in, they have to pull into the on-coming traffic side of the parking lot aisle (stopping traffic in both directions), stop, put it in reverse, slowly creep backwards into the spot, in most cases they then have to stop, put it in drive, pull forward again, stop, put it in reverse, and slowly back into the spot again. Sometimes, they have to go one more time.

Meanwhile, everyone else in the parking lot has to stop what they're doing and wait on this guy to waste 30 seconds doing what takes most of us one second to do.

It's not really about the time this person is wasting for every other driver in the parking lot, it's the inconsiderate nature of it all...or the idea that this person is completely oblivious to the rest of the world around them.

How can it be faster for them but not the people waiting on the spot to free up?

I never knew this was a sentiment out there but I see people are staring it so I guess it is.

They may be driving a company provided vehicle that requires them as part of their employment to follow company mandated safe driving practices, such as backing into parking spaces.

It is statistically safer and less likely to cause an accident. My employer requires it for company vehicles if a pull through spot isn't available. It is also normal practice in many nations, or even legally required.

Yore going to cause the same problem backing out as you would backing in, just you will be much more limited in view pulling out onto the lot lanes where there are more likely to be other moving vehicles and pedestrians so it increases risk overall.
