Criticizing people for voting 3rd party and then doing nothing to replace first past the post voting.

Okay, I very publicly judge these people. It's not a secret.

I judge people for spelling.

Easy stuff, too: emails; the ask; the spend; action this. People who can't pluralize or know what mass nouns are, or people who sound like fucking used-car salesmen, get to a different tier of respect than people who are actually adequate.

There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.

I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?

But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension

That's infuriating. Why couldn't that guy just let someone else do their set while he does his breaks? Heck, if I were that dude, I would have made an arrangement with someone to alternate sets with.

Even if we assume the guy has a fatigue issue, that's still no reason to hog the machine.

Being smarmy. I can't stand people who are ready to manipulate anything out of people as they do it with their smarmy smirks.

The roads in my city are as far from flat as you can get. The potholes aren't bad but the roads are build to slope into the gutters and the gutters occasionally cut through the streets like reverse speed bumps, the train tracks are like crossing wagon ruts.

So if I see you rolling around in some luxury sports car with a 3in clearance, I'm going to assume you're too fucking stupid to deserve that much money.

Speaker on a phone call in public. For that matter, any sound from a phone in public.
