Neurotypical Annoyances

There's many reasons someone might walk slow. They might just be a slow walker, have a genuine problem with their feet or enjoy walking slowly.
Seriously, why does everyone moan about it? Not everything is a race -.-.
EMZ.

Here so more.

Americans thinking other cultures should be like theirs and their imposition of cultural imperalism. Hey, if you travel abroad it is up to you to learn the relevent culture and and language!

People wanting everyone to conform and act like them. People are different.

My god!

ON KIDS
I believe all kids are perfect little angels, not just mine. I believe that because they are really too young to know any better on many things. I'm talking kids... not teens or pre-teens. But it really annoys me when people are too hard on their kids and when people complain about how I should handle mine (which is usually that I'm not hard enough on them). I'm sorry, but you are only a kid once, and you only live once, I believe that age should be about fun and games within reason of course. The bed is made for jumping on it, chocolate is a major food group, walls are a huge blank page waiting to be colored on with washable crayons (especially if they are painted white, who really wants to see nothing but white walls all the time?), and i could come up with a lot more, but that's from the top of my head.

DRIVING and CELL PHONE USE
I do talk on the cell phone and drive, but I generally pay more attention to the road than most people anyway. If I do find myself being distracted by the cell phone, I either get off the phone or pull over and finish my conversation. In fact, I read somewhere that a study confirmed that the cell phone itself is not the distraction as much as conversation, so it's the same thing as whether or not you use a headset or are just talking to other people in the car. I'm actually more distracted with other people talking to me in the car than the cell phone because you don't turn to look at your cell phone when you are talking on it. Sometimes, the cell phone conversation is the only thing keeping me awake behind the wheel as I do have a 1 and 2 year old and find myself sleep deprived more so than not.

DRIVING in GENERAL
Most of the time, I drive faster than the speed limit, but my tires need replaced, so I drive slower in the rain. My eyes are also very sensitive to light, so I brake a lot at night when cars come at me (especially if they have high beams on or really bright low beams) because it temporarily blinds me, and I tend to have some issues when the sun is out and bright. I also can't see the lines on the road when it's wet, at night, and lights are reflecting off the water. I figure most of the time, people have a reason for driving whatever speed they drive. So if they are driving slow, I'd much rather them drive at their comfort level than trying to do something they couldn't handle. Automobiles are lethal. Too many people misuse their vehicle.


BUZZ KILLERS
What I really can't stand is the buzz kill people. People who provoke for no real reason (and their own self induglences count as no real reason). Have you ever noticed that the guy who is in the wrong will make a bigger deal about you being stupid than the guy who is in the right?


BEING ASSAULTED WHILE WALKING/SHOPPING AT WALMART
Walking... Once an old lady physically assaulted me with her grocery cart at a Walmart on the day after Thanksgiving. I knocked the old bag over and told her that I didn't care if she was a member of AARP, you don't hit people intentionally with grocery carts, and being an old woman, she should know better. I didn't really mean to knock her over though. I just have a strong footing and she kinda fell trying to walk into me after she hit me with her cart mind you.

GROCERY CARTS
I have a one year old and a two year old. They grab things if I am dumb enough to walk close enough to the shelves. The only way to shop with kids at their age is to walk in the center of the aisles. I hate the fact that they jam pack those asiles. When I use the double stroller or the grocerty cart with the back thing for two kids to "safely" which isn't that safe be buckled, I often get stuck.

GUM
The thing that annoys me so much is stepping in gum. Last time I saw a kid do it, I just picked it up and threw it away, which is gross, but it's easier to clean that way then off the bottom of my or my toddler's shoe.

DOG POOP
The other thing is dog poop. People with dogs, you know i understand the dog poops. It's very natural. But when you are in a place where kids play in the area the dog poops like a park or my yard, the least you could do is pick it up. I swear, if my one year old crawls into the poop ever, I will find the dog that pooped and put it back where it came from. So if you love your dog at all, pick up his poop.

For small kids, I agree with you. I was more referring to kids who are old enough to know better.

When I was only a few years old, I stole a few pence from a charity bucket in a shop (I thought they were giving away free money, LOL). My mum found out and went totally mad at me. I reckon that was really unfair. I was only little, how was I supposed to know right from wrong?

We were talking about the recent strip search incident in a high school in Arizona in of all places, my philosophy class today and it seemed to be very humorous to people.

I don't get that.

How's that humorous? A poor 13 year old girl getting abused by institutionalized protocal which is a microcosm of the destruction of the constitution and social values of this country?

Most people would say I am being deep, but seriously and yout alk about auties not having any empathy.

People who seem unable to function without a partner.

People who have a good gawp at a terrible car accident and hold up a queue of traffic behind them.

People who join cliques and are unable to reach out to anyone else of them.

I think this depends on the individual case. In general, I've learned that almost any court case is substantially more complex than what gets reported in the media. In some cases, it might be justifiable to sue a company when you get mugged outside the store. Consider the following hypothetical scenario:

You want to go to a particular store at night, but you aren't sure about your safety in the parking lot. Online, the company claims that their parking lots are always well lit and security guards are always posted where they have a view of the parking lot. You call and talk to them about it and the manager assures you that his store is in a "very safe neighborhood". This makes you feel safer so you drive across town to the store after dark. You get there and -- most of the lights are out in the parking lot. As you leave the store, you get mugged by someone hiding in the shadows. You later learn that the store had no security that night as they claim they do. Furthermore, you learn that the lights have been out in the parking lot for 3 months and the store hasn't gotten them fixed yet. Finally, you learn that the crime rate in that neighborhood is extremely high -- it's the most dangerous part of the city, in fact.

In this case, it obviously wasn't the store that mugged you -- but the mugging wouldn't have happened if the company had fulfilled it's advertized promise of providing a safe, well-lit parking lot. In addition, the manager flat-out lied to you about the safety of the neighborhood. In that case, I think it would be quite reasonable to sue the store.

Oh gosh, that is my biggest pet peeve, ever.

Whinge, whinge, whinge. Stfu pls. Christ. I think i lose 50% if my respect for a person when they complain about never having a partner or not being in a relationship.

I'm thinking about ditching a friend over this one. He got to the point where he got mad at me because I wasn't helping him look for a lover. Codependent ass heads get on my nerves.

I am luckly that my girl is coming to America next year, but I can, sorry, abwenzi, can live without you.

However, you are important, but not necessary.

LOL

People whining and don't do anything about their problems
People complaining and there is a solution to their problem but they'd rather complain than do it

I know of a specific case here where I don't have all the details, but from what I do know, I can see it justifiable. They recently built a new walmart here. Mind you, we are very small town. Either way, they had to build a new road to get to this location where they were putting up the new walmart. The road, at some point, turns from city property to Walmart property, and I assume this point was before it crosses over a creek. Either way, Walmart built the road/bridge over the creek, and they didn't put guard rails on the four corners of the bridge which is standard engineering for safety in this state at least. I never noticed it before this incident, but now every creek I drive over, there's a guard rail on all four corners. Anyway, a 16 year old girl was leaving Walmart at night in the rain. She hydroplaned (on a left turn after stop sign, and water does sit deep in that turn, which would also be an engineering issue) and fell off the edge of the road down in the creek which is like a 5-10 foot drop. In that somehow, she flipped as well. It was a lethal accident. Her father is suing Walmart for not placing the guard rails as recommended (almost required) by the state, and I guess through it all, the state is going to be taking the property the road sits on in the future, but I doubt that happened yet. Even then, after a lethal accident, there is now 1 guard rail on the corner she died. The other three corners, which are just as dangerous, are left bare. For whatever reason, some companies do not care about their customers unless you do sue them.

What these people don't realize is a partner is another person you have to take care of...not the other way around.

Why do people complain about things they can easily avoid? For example: A person hates a certain TV show. She'll sit there and watch it, complaining and telling how much she hates it and pointing out all its flaws. Wouldn't it just be easier to NOT watch the show if you hate it that much?

Why do people expect everyone else to be, think, and act the same as themselves?

Why do people walk slowly, and block the while walkway, and not respond when someone else says, "Excuse me!"?

No , most of us don't, just a very loud, rambunctious few. That would be like saying all Muslims are terrorist with bombs strapped to their chest, which we know isn't true. Any group has their trouble makers.

I assure you, my name is James, not "3 of 8". ( guess the reference )



Try wearing the "Blue Vest" on that dreadful day. All sanity and decency people have are left at home by most on Black Friday. I've worked two with Wal-Mart, and two with Target. I might sometimes still go just to see the insanity.
