Stupid Pet Peeves

[Scat]

Usually people arrive more staggered whereas at the end they are all leaving in a huge mad dash.

At schools and sporting events sure but typically not at stores and restaurants.

He mentioned games and church specifically. I am mixed on the dudes that back in everywhere. I understand the appeal due to the ease of leaving, but it bugs me to have to wait for them all the time too. I think it is generally safer as backing out into traffic is generally less safe than backing into a constrained parking space where there is less going on than in the middle of the parking area. I have seen big trucks that pulled straight in then back out and hit other cars, one dude didn't even realize he hit anyone until we chased him down because he was in a microphallic-compensator and the car he hit was like a little nissan so he barely felt it.

Don't you have to do this anyway when you are backing in?

To a point. Log made a good point when he mentioned staggered arrival vs mass exodus. Also, backing in to a spot means I only have to make sure it’s clear behind me. Backing into traffic means I have to make sure it’s clear behind me, next to me, that no one is flying down the aisle trying to beat someone else to a spot, etc. I drive a big truck (it came from the factory like this, but it’s tall. The top of the bed hits me at the armpit and I’m 6 feet tall. Plus it’s long. 6 1/2 bed, full double cab, etc.) and it doesn’t turn all that sharp. It’s easier for me to back it into a stall between two vehicles than it is to go in forward. Trust me, you’ll be waiting for me either way.
I do usually try to go to the end of the row, or out away from other vehicles generally though.

I'd take it up to the counter and after they ring it up tell them that the price is wrong, the tag says it's $4.50...

Well, it is $0.0121 each for the 450 pack, so just over a cent each. They rounded.

That would mean I’d have to interact with people. No thanks. I’d rather spend the extra dollar.

I knew SOMEONE was going to do the math.

I just tried to give the “homeless” guy on the freeway off ramp some food and a water bottle. “Nah, I’m good. Thanks though.”

I was sitting on an off-ramp waiting for a light and a homeless guy approached the car in front of me. I could hear them talking. The homeless guy said "you can venmo me". That was weird.
