Things that bug you (spin off of Goldmoon's thread)

I'm going to re-open the thread, but the first thing I'm going to say, ladies and gents, is please knock it off. If you have sniping to do, there are other boards better to do it in.

Like, what boards are optimized for cheap sniping?

Just curious.

I need names.

And links.

Thanks. I needed that. No hard feelings. My post was all in good fun.

Wait, we're going on a snipe hunt?

Let me get my gear...

Actually, I think it probably has more to do with the fact that inconsiderate driving habits can lead to extensive property damage, serious injury and death.

Stopping at the top or bottom of an escalator to check your messages or make a call, completely oblivious to the people behind you - not a pretty sight.

More generalized, people who stop in doorways. Unless you've got the cool leather duster, and the extra-cool Wind from Nowhere[tm], you're just a speed bump.

I was trained to do this - the recommendation is to stop while you can still see the rear tyres of the car in front.

And I understand that, within reason.

I was testing it out today as I was driving. In my car, that means stopping about 8 feet away from the car in front of me. Even if you have a low seating position in your car, I still don't think that would make you need to stop more than a full car's length away from the next guy.

But, when I'm talking about Gappers, these are people who are leaving 2 or so car lengths between them and the car in front of them.

Oh, and the thing about doorways reminded me of another one...people who refuse to use revolving doors. I can understand that if you walk with a cane or something...but I'm talking about perfectly healthy people who walk *around* the revolving door to use the "push" door...which, btw, lets the warm / cool air out of the building.
