Peeved
Really. Is it just me, or are people just so stupid to the point that I think they're not using their brains at all? Just look at what stupid people can do:
1. Walk slowly, and then suddenly cut across the path/lane just to look at sale items.
2. Push a few things at a time while hogging the whole passageway.
3. Walk abreast in threes or fours, blocking others.
4. When using the escalators, not standing on the left side to free the right side for people who are in a rush.
5. Stand in the middle of passageways/lanes/paths to do something with their bags/phones/whatever contraptions they have.
6. Not taking their children to hand, especially when the kids are screaming and running.
For no.6, it's not that I have anything against children. I love them, but when it comes to a point where children are a hazard (they run around and scream and force people to suddenly stop in front of them. If they bump into an adult and get hurt, then the general consensus among parents would be that the adults are at fault for not avoiding the children. Really, these parents should scream at themselves for being stupid.) then i suggest that YOU DON'T BRING YOUR KIDS OUT UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE IN PUBLIC.
7. While eating at foodcourts, talk so loudly, thereby annoying the people around you.
8. You press the button at the traffic light. A few seconds later another person comes around, and sees that the pedestrian button is pressed (for those who don't know, a red light shines when you press the pedestrian button). "Obviously the one before me didn't press it correctly," he thinks and proceeds to press it again. One minute later, the light still hasn't changed. The idiot goes on to press the button a few more times in succession.
Hello! There is no one in the switchbox. By pressing a few more times you're not giving the impression to the switchbox that there're more people at the traffic lights waiting to cross the road. (This applies to lifts as well.)
9. While you're trying to get from Point A to Point B, you get stopped by a million people trying to sell you insurance/get donations/spreading messages from religious organisations/trying to complete surveys. Which part of my body language tells you that I'm approachable at this point of time? Can't you see that I'm rushing? It's basic courtesy to leave rushing people alone.
There are many more. Just don't get me started.
