Watching something that wasn't shot in widescreen cropped to widescreen / cropping something to a different ratio than was originally intended.

Dickheads who drop parcels through our letterbox when the word FRAGILE is taped all over it.
Knock the door morons.

Dickheads who drop parcels through our letterbox when the word FRAGILE is taped all over it. Knock the door morons. Oh, dear. Hope it wasn't damaged. In a corollary to the above: People who ship fragile items without adequate protection. Years ago, I got a present from my cousin (ceramic salt shakers, IIRC) and he just plopped the display box into an outer shipping box with no protection. The salt shakers arrived in pieces. I also had a problem with a "gift" I received when I was ending my term as a board member of a non-profit. Fortunately, the damage to that item was negligible. |

If i know a parcel is being delivered i put cushions under the letterbox to cushion the impact of the drop but if Fragile is taped on a package you'd think the handler would have the common sense to knock the door or leave it with a neighbour if I'm out. |

Dickheads who drop parcels through our letterbox when the word FRAGILE is taped all over it. Knock the door morons. Speaking of parcels, there is supposedly a policy that they aren't to open any doors or anything other than perhaps the flap on a mailbox. The delivery people around here ignore it, except this one guy.
Now, I don't know what the term is, but our front door to the house does not open directly to the outside. It opens to a little closet-sized enclosure, with a roof, that has a storm door, which opens onto the front steps.
All but one delivery person will put packages in the enclosure. One of these jerks - and I don't know who it is - will just leave packages on the front steps, even if it's pouring rain. Grrr.

When people walk three or four abreast on the pavement and expect you to move No, you dumb f**ks, you move or i'm plowing through you Yeah. I've adopted a policy of not moving. Every now and then this means I collide with an oblivious jerk, but whatever. Pay attention. I'm not stepping into the street to dodge your group. |

The only time we move is when theres a pram involved. We move out of the way of the Pram and BAMM, take out the idiot next to them lol |

Every now and then this means I collide with an oblivious jerk, but whatever. Pay attention. I'm not stepping into the street to dodge your group. My favourite one of these was a chap who thought he'd get a cheap laugh by tripping up bystanders. Funny thing, when people lose their balance, they tend to stick their hand on whatever's closest. When the goon stuck out his foot, his intended target bowed a little, placed a hand on the man's lowered shoulder and pushed upward. The intended victim went up, rebalancing, while the "prankster" went down and landed on his backside. I think we can call that Newton's Third Law. |

People who have a problem when a couple decide to not have kids, saying something along the lines of 'you'll change your mind', but have no problem with people who have too many kids in their house or when they themselves have too many kids. Tell you what, I'll change my mind about not having kids when you close your legs and stop letting people go down on you because they looked at you the right way.
Yeah, I've been with my family way too much.

The whole 'too loud' vs. 'too quiet' debacle. What I mean is it's apparently a sin to be too quiet, but talking too much and too loud is almost the norm. 'Why are you so quiet? You should speak up more!' I would if I had anything to add to the conversation!

My problem is, to compensate, I have developed the habit (unconsciously) that I tend to speak in a loud voice. So my only two modes of speech are silent and too loud....  |

When college students think it’s perfectly fine to smoke cigarettes which are completely legal to smoke as long as you’re outside in the no substance dorm. If it was weed I’d get it, it’s still illegal until January in my state.

People who, in public places, watch videos/TV/movies/etc on their phone with no headphones, or who think it's okay to put their phone on speaker and have their conversation into their phone like it's a walkie-talkie.
Manners, people, for god's sake.
