1. Rush Exit Doors
Nothing more typical than watching people stand up prematurely in the aisle of an aircraft that just landed. Its even better when there is a delay and you have to look at their ass for 30 minutes. Normally I wait for the people ahead of me to get their carry-ons and start moving before I do the same and exit the plane. The reason this activity is dumb is because of the obvious bottleneck, its the same when you have assigned seats to a show but you see 100 people killing each other to get in line to enter.

2. Cut you off in traffic then slow down a mile later.
When I see this I want to ask the dumbass “what was your point?” I mean, if you are going to do 70mph to get in front only to drive at 45mph am I wrong for calling you an idiot? If your gonna cut someone off out of need to get somewhere fast then by all means do it, but doing so just to cruise speed limit, you are an idiot.

3. Show up to a movie 5 minutes after it starts with a party of 3 or more.
I see this everytime I go to the theater. I know we are all fat, lazy, truant Americans but I didn’t realize we were dumb too. If Star Wars is opening and you arrive late, why in the world would you even expect that a row of seats would be available for you and your late family? Then these people will walk around the seats 2 or 3 times as if some seating will magically open and let them in. At this point they either have to sit in the very front row (which sucks for action movies) or see a later show. I think its common sense to not do this but what do I know? Here’s a clue, get there 30 minutes to an hour early for huge openers people.

4. Tell everyone what diet they’re on
If you have a friend or co-worker who is a physical specimen and obvious health nut, don’t go bragging about your new South Beach diet or whatever that you are on that week. They are probably thinking the same thing I would when these people plague me with it: “go away you non-committed blowhard”. It amazes me how your ego is such that you think everyone else cares that you have decided to try out a fad diet… And these same people will come into work daily to tell you how awesome their workout or meal was… and even lend you advice based on the pamphlet they received with it. Here’s my beef, if you were truly serious you would probably keep it private, handling your business and getting in shape. Serious people will do the necesary research to get their goals accomplished not brag about how many lettuce leaves they ate for lunch. We’ve heard it before, we know what you’re doing, so just stop already.

5. Disrespect food service people and then eat from them
I guess people love spit, shit and boogers in their food. We’ve all seen this before, especially the “rich-acting” guy. You know THAT guy with the leech on his arm who wants to carry on the facade that he is a man of power. Or the annoying chick on a date with you who gets the wrong kind of shrimp. They create a scene, then try to convince you that they’re in the right and you can tell the waiter is about done with his/her attitude.

The list can go on but I offer 5 of the hundreds of daily idiotic things we do to annoy our fellow man.
