I wanna punch in the face

^^ Hold grudges much? LOL
Many years ago I saw a picture of a bawling kid in a photo magazine. A professional photographer's kid was having a tantrum so the pro pulled out his camera and started taking pictures. I don't know how old junior is today or if the photo is on his dad's living room wall.
Does Youtube have a screaming kids list?
When I was young (ok, it was a long time ago), I was "educated" enough by my parents that I didn't throw tantrums. It only took a look from either of them for me to know I better shut my trap or I was going to the car and wouldn't like it when I got there.
Stuck behind a car today (sorry but i will say it was a lady driver) on a side street in Bowmanville. She was driving 5-10km/h then stopping and looking around for whatever shop she was looking for. Did this for three blocks. Google Map the place before you go but if you don't have time at least let the shmucks stuck behind you pass. THREE BLOCKS!

Last post reminded me of another thing that pisses me off.
People in the grocery store that just leave their cart square in the middle of the aisle while looking at a shelf, completely oblivious to others trying to get around them.

Never really bothered me. But some seem like they'd wanna punch me when I bump it out of the way.
"educated" lol
I agree with most of these posted. People that are lazy generally get me riled up.
People that don't return shopping trolleys back to the pen and leave them in parking spaces, even when the pen is only steps away.
People who stick their chewing gum on things other people might touch/stand on.
People who jump the line. People who save spaces in a line for a bajillion others.
People who reserve spaces with a towel/object or something and don't show up/leave for hours.

Ever been on a cruise? This is a syndrome on cruise ships particularly in the high-demand seating areas. On the cruise we were on in January there was one lounger in a nice nook area in the solarium that each and every morning had a towel, a bowl with an apple in it, and a book all neatly arranged before I was there around 8AM for my morning coffee.
There was days that this same lounger was never occupied until after lunch - sometimes I never noticed if anyone ever came to sit in it actually, but the towel and "This lounger is in use" accoutrements usually disappeared sometime around 4-5PM.
I'd like to punch those sorts of people in the face, but it'd have got me kicked off the ship. Some people are so bloody self-absorbed however that they think this is OK while all day long people are desperately trying to find places to sit.
true story....one resort I went to years ago had a big group in attendance, from Germany I think, and every morning one of their group would get up at the crack of dawn and put 15-20 towels down on all the chairs that had shade around the pool. Then they would all have a late breakfast and some of them would breeze on down many many hours later. This happened for a few mornings until I went down to get a chair and saw one guy whizzing round the pool hurling all the towels in the water. I wasn't the only one the group had ticked off.
Also on another vacation one time a German family had hogged the shade from a palapa and vanished for 3 hours, while they had gone I brought two chairs up for my wife and me and put them in the shade from the palapa. When the family came back they said they had reserved the chairs and I told them yes of course, but they hadn't reserved the sun which had changed position and now I had the shade.
I'd just move the ****, sit my *** down and plead ignorance if I was challenged. Huh? What bowl?
Unfortunately the flipside of the situation is that some people go absolutely batshit insane when they come back 4 hours later and their towel and stuff is gone. Again, last cruise, my wife witnessed someone get a new orifice ripped for doing exactly that.
Personally, I try to avoid drama while on a cruise especially while in international waters as the laws can be fuzzy and it's not worth getting kicked off the ship (to use an extreme example) because some arsebag decided to claim I stole his property while clearing the seat. Sad, but when 90% of the other passengers are Americans who are often itching for a reason to be offended (that's a whole other story I could go on about) it's just not worth it.
Typically there is a solarium/pool deck nazi that keeps an overview on things and yanks towels and belongings off seats/loungers being held like this, but on this past cruise there wasn't anyone doing so. I *will* lodge a complaint with ship staff and on past cruises they do actually clear off abandoned loungers.
Cruises I haven't had much issue. You can ask the stewards and they'll find you a nice spot. Last cruise I paid an extra $100 for a spa pass, and the area was empty. I don't like people who purposely try and be the last through a light.
