There's nothing like dealing with large numbers of people to make you hate them. In particular, airports and parking lots seem to draw out the greatest degree of sheer bovine idiocy from human beings.
Item: I am trying to maneuver through a mall parking lot and am stuck behind someone waiting for a spot to open up. Meanwhile, the person behind me attempts to cut around us despite the patently apparent lack of space. The people pulling out of the spot had just gotten there, so it took them a few minutes to get all their possessions and themselves settled and get going. The kicker? There were dozens of spots available a row over.
Item: I then observed the car ahead of me prowl for parking but then pass up spots because the individuals within the might have had to walk a few extra feet.
Item: pushing my shopping cart through Safeway, I was stuck in a seemingly-immovable traffic jam in a narrow aisle until I, in a fit of ingenuity, moved the abandoned cart which was causing the problem.
In closing, fellow humans, please get the fuck out of my way before I dismember you.
