People have been doing that forever. We saw roman-era graffiti carved into stuff at the pyramids.

Now, all that proves is that people have been #######s for a long time, but it is interesting that it isn't a new phenomenon.

People actually say that? That's bad.

It's meant to be a reference to Blades of Glory, although maybe it's become so commonplace some actually think it's "bottling".

Mother####ing homicidal drivers, I hope you get cancer and die. Yes, that 4 way stop does apply to you, and no it doesn't mean step on it. And to the guy behind him, yes, bikes ARE permitted on the road, and you can calm the #### down. It's a side street in Sunnyside. I'll be out of your way in 10 ####ing seconds. Take a god damn chill pill, this road isn't exclusively yours, you stupid piece of ####.


My opinion of humanity continues to decline.

My CP account must also be the most desirable thing in history, given how many emails I get about people trying to hack it. Kinda funny how much time some moron(s) must be wasting.

Ha, on Sunday I got cut off by a driver who just decided it was her turn to go at a four-way stop, even though it was mine. As I hit my brakes mid-intersection so as not to T-bone her and honked my horn, she exclaimed out her open window "I'm already going first!"

That's not how it works you dumb #####, you're just lucky I was paying attention to your ####ery and stopped before one of us hit the other!

People need to try harder to squish in on the trains when it’s busy.

I got the stink-eye today, like I was budging in front when I re-opened the door and got on (the train was stopped for a while) because other people waiting were too meek to squeeze in and get people to try a little harder to move towards the middle. I could see through the windows that there was a lot of room for way more people to get on if people stopped being so precious about their personal space or hanging out close to the doors. It’s not budging if no one else is willing to get on.

Maybe this is an AITA situation. I don’t think I am, but I didn’t feel like waiting for a third train. It should be fair game, right? The people who didn’t get on, made a choice of comfort over getting somewhere faster.

NTA. People should squish for sure.

People should squish, but in retrospect should I have offered the people closest to the door the opportunity to get on? I am actually not even sure how that would work, but I could have maybe offered it up somehow. I am normally a little shy, but I was getting irritated by waiting.

I’ve started to assume that I go first at 4 ways if it’s anywhere close. Seems to work better.

I got a "WTF shoulder shrug" from a lady turning right onto a cross street as I was turning left from the main road(with a flashing green arrow). She had a yield as there is a right turn bay. But I guess I was at fault in her mind. So many people should not be driving.
