If you and your friends are slow walkers, don't walk in a horizontal line across the pavement like Reservoir Dogs. I walk at normal speeds, and it gives me pedestrian road rage to be stuck behind you, and I can't ask you to make a gap so I can get past, because I'm British and speaking to anyone ever would be impolite.
I hate that.
Not to mention that if you manage to push through they get offended and the "top dog" curses you out while the others laugh like a bunch of stoner hyenas, but if you DO ask, they STILL get offended and passive-aggressively are like, "Yeah okay I'll stop my conversation so you can get your iced coffee just a little bit faster".
That's when you pop the alpha in the nose and become the new alpha! Then, you make your betas go get your coffee - and maybe a donut. But not one with sprinkles because you're wearing beige and if a sprinkle gets on your pants it will stain and you'll have to throw those pants out.
At schools they all do the same thing, except you can't beat them up.
Whenever there are other people on the street while my family is walking, whoever's in front tucks their hand behind them at the small of their back to give signal at those behind them to walk in a straight line
the first one reminds me of dr cox from scrubs "if someone is standing in front of me in line at a coffee shop and can't decide what they want in the half hour it took to get to the register, i should be allowed to kill them."
I'm pretty sure that if they took porn off the internet there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn
Derven TheGreat I get its an exaggeration but there plenty of business, gaming, stock, app, etc sites
People talking on speaker or playing music with no headphones. hate it
Are these things sober people do somewhere?
I know. When did that become a thing?
Swerve these fuck nuggets with their beats pill xl blasting garbage mainstream rap I wanna snap their necks
Swerve Sorry😐 my earbuds are broken and I can't afford another pair right now.
Darth Sader That's your problem lol. Common curtesy still applies. If you need to turn it way, way down and hold it to your ear.
I hate when people leave their shopping carts in the middle of parking spaces.
yep, this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Self centered, lazy assed, inconsiderate dipsticks who pose an actual threat to others' property.
I once saw a guy pull into a handicapped parking spot, push a shopping cart out of the way with his bumper, into another car - and then jump out of his van and speed walk into the store.
That's bad, but what's worse is when I load up my car with groceries, go and put the cart away, come back to see that someone put an empty cart behind my car.
D.E.B. B
Oh, Jesus. That, right there, would make me chase them and grab them by the ear to march them back and take care of it.
If they're going to act like children, threat them like children.
mahnarch It was a young woman with a little kid in the car. I thought about yelling at her, but realized it was pointless. Not to mention, I didn't want to go running across the parking lot chasing a car on foot.
don't stand on opposite sides of a sidewalk or hallway to talk. It's makes everyone else feel like an ass when they have to walk between interrupting your conversation.
I was wondering when someone was going to say this. This also applies to staircases, doorways and any other traffic areas. Now everyone has to decide if they are being rude as they stroll through your conversation.
If I'm not in a huge hurry, but I've had to stand there, waiting for you to finish talking, I'll move to stand in the middle of the conversation, and see if anyone says anything.
Walkways, hallways, or any kind of traffic corridor are not places for conversations, they are places for getting somewhere. If two stop to chat in one of those places, it is they who have committed the rude action. Mutter a barely intelligible excuse me and give the one on your side a glare that says you hope they spontaneously combust right after you pass.
I fucking hate that. And I always apologise when I walk through, like it's my fault.
Lana Waters it is your fault if you've taken it upon yourself to feel guilty, just chilllllllll
Stairs and elevator etiquette should also be on this list, because nothing is as annoying as trying to walk out of an elevator and the subhumans start trying to pile in before people have gotten out. Or when people form a human wall going up or down stairs, stay to one side!
i've got a better one than "dont stop on the sidewalk", when walking with a group on the sidewalk DONT WALK SIDE BY SIDE. you're either forcing me to also be an ass and push you apart so i can pass, or go around you because you're either too slow or an asshole and wont break the line. mostly women do this. they get in groups of 3-5 and then have the nerve to call you the asshole when hitting you're shoulder when you try to go around or through.
Fuck'em, push through that shit like you're playing Red Rover.
I've seen guys do it too, usually teenaged boys or men in their early 20s.
That stopped being an issue for me when I changed from tall skinny guy to 6'3" 250lb guy. 1/3 (not one half, I'm not greedy) of the sidewalk's width is mine damnit, and I'm not stepping aside just because a gaggle of tiny people outnumber me.
One time I was walking down the sidewalks and two couples with strollers passed each other in opposite direction. There were cars parked right next to the sidewalk and then busy traffic in the street...and those fuckers stopped RIGHT THERE next to a parked car to chat! When like... ten feet earlier there was a nice empty spot of driveway they could shuffle into to talk about their little snotmonsters. I had no regret passing rudely behind them with my bagpack.
***** Lol yea I have similar encounters except on my mountain bike while travelling on an access road that some people use for walking (though it's a road so I feel like I should have the right-away to pedestrians since I'm on a bike anyway). Often I'll come across people who will walk 3 or 4 abreast and not flinch as they see me approach (and it's not like I'm trying to be a dick, I'll slow down, move to the side, etc, but there's only so much room when people walk like that... I'm not driving in the muck). So eventually If I'm close enough and they haven't moved I keep on peddling and drive uncomfortably close to people (or into a puddle... but only if I'm really being an ass lol)... and I've had a number of dogs chase me for a few minutes since I'm sick of stopping and waiting for owners to get a handle on their pets while I wait patiently for the dog to calm down and stop following me (should be on a leash anyway, still within city limits and on public land)... I'm not trying to be a jerk but dammit man some people are inconsiderate and the only way to deal with them is to push your way past!
USA: On the freeway, if you're in the right hand lane, please drive at a safe but expeditious speed. All other lanes - you MUST drive faster than the lane to your right, otherwise please merge into that lane.
I second this. I'm not even that fast of a driver, I rarely go more then about 2 miles over the speed limit (7 if I am really in a hurry), and it amazes me how often I wind up passing people while *I'm* in the right lane. Excuse me, you're in the "fast lane", why are you going 10 miles below the speed limit? This is not just an inconvenience, its a hazard.
Tosh Outdoors another note. if your in a small vehicle (pick ups SUVs and down. use the on ramp to accelerate to freeway speeds. I'm a trucker and i don't always have time or space to move over. we drive way slower than the rest of traffic so why are cars slowing down to get in front of us?
No one should be "Driving" in the right lane at all... That lane should always be left for the people merging on and off the highway. If you have more than 2 miles to go. Merge left...
RoflSirOfTheLawl
Actually, in Ohio at least, it is LAW that you cannot stay in the left lane for more then two miles unless you are actively passing someone, and then you must merge back into the right lane as soon as safely possible. Obviously you should switch lanes momentarily if someone is merging onto the highway, but as soon as you clear the ramp you are expected to merge back over. This is because the right lane is the "default" lane, and the left lane is the "fast" lane, and is ment only for passing traffic. If everyone stayed in the left lane traffic would be very backed up on the highway. Also people would be passing the slow traffic by going into the right lane, which by the way is also not something you are supposed to do. That's why I mentioned it above. Each state technically has its own traffic laws, but most are fairly similar. The main/slower traffic is ment to move on the right so the faster traffic can pass on the left. This is so traffic has a flow. On-ramps are actually supposed to yield to highway traffic (in every state), though it is encouraged to get up to highway speed to make merging easier, sometimes if someone has to slow down to merge safely that falls to the ramp traffic.
Please note however this can only apply to freeways that have no Left lane egress. People that flash their lights &/or honk to try to get me to move over a lane when my turn is coming up deserve what they are going to get in Hell. Have some decency and sense!
OMG thank you for saying not to touch pregnant belly's. When I was pregnant I would get customer's and random people think it was ok to touch my belly. like it wasn't included in my personal space >.
Philosophical question here: Was it realy your personal space, or the personal space of your child?
Either way its still wrong of them
Oh and congratulations. Many blessings upon you and your child.
KamiRecca lol love the Philosophical question, was laying in bed thinking about it and came to this conclusion, As the mothers body surrounds the baby then it would be the mothers personal space :P also made me think back, and I can not remember any females doing it, only men. I worked at a big hardware store at the paint counter and every regular male tradie would think it was ok to rub my belly lol, Never the good looking young ones ether :( . Ty for the blessings, she is 12 now and in that lovely pre teen stage with her own personal space issue's lol but still a blessing to me.
Zerinna
well im guessing other women understands the situation and why it wouldnt be comfortable, while we men (NOT ALL MEN!!!) are just fascinated with something we dont realy understand, can never experience but never the less our lives circle around.
Had i been a woman, and in your position i would pinch their noses when they touched my belly. Just for the equlibrium of things ^^
+KamiRecca I would tell them I'm not Budda and it won't bring luck lol
Zerinna
hahahahaha i like you. You get a free Tjoffe Point. Stick it on your shirt and be proud ^^
I love how he's loosing his shit, because the struggle is way too real/relatable
driving slow in the left lane. it's called the passing lane, if you are not passing someone gtfo of the way
Ghadente,,,,, If someone comes halling ass behind you just get the F over don't be the freakin speed police here just GTFO. I drive in the left lane constantly (because it is the safest place, with all the stupid to one side of me) but the price is you HAVE TO do at least 10 miles an hour over the speed limit & be aware of what is behind you. If ANYONE wants to go faster than you you get the F over. Now. P
Sometimes I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane while people behind me are going insane.
People seem to do this the most in the diamond lane. It’s like they just see the sign that says it’s only for cars with more than one person, so they think it’s mandatory to be in if they fit the criteria.
Course the origin of all of this is people who act with complete disregard of all those around them. They don't care that they inconvenience someone else. They don't care that their barking dog kept the neighborhood up all night. They don't care that someone behind them in the left lane is not happy with going exactly the speed limit, and is trying to get to the hospital to see their first child born. But, they do care if in any of these instances they are the one on the other side of the equation. I am not exactly sure when and how, but somehow about 25% of all the people seem to have completely lost the simple ability or willingness to empathize with anyone else.
Cope
Been behind people going slow in the left lane. I went around them and got on with my day. Imagine rushing to the hospital and not coming up with that ingenious solution lmao. I'd rather have to go around a slow person in front than get tailgated by someone behind.
people who stand in front of escalators
people who enter bus/trains before people can exit it
cyclists who refuse to use the sidewalk when it is marked for cyclists...
Cyclists who ride their bikes in the middle of winter as if the road conditions weren't bad enough without having to worry about hitting some dumbshit on a bicycle as well.
People who smoke at public places where a lot of people has to stand still (like the bus stop), I don't care if you do it where I don't have to stand right next to you just don't smoke at the fucking bus stops.
Oh, and in front of entrences and exits, move away a bit.
Basically don't stand still and smoke where people have to pass/stand.
eh its their lungs let them deal with teh health issues, all youre getting is the stench, whihc is a minor complain, its not like your standing right in their smoke, im around smokers all the time and so long as im not down wind i dont even notice it and i hate the smell....
JONNY CRASH
most of us dont want to smell it or get second-hand smoking problems..so they are ruining their own lungs + 1-X amount of innocent people
to add to that, cyclists that chose to use sidewalks even when its thin as fuck and clearly not meant to have cyclists on, and then refuse to return to the road even when they can clearly see people and the sidewalk, essentially forcing the pedestrians onto the road to avoid the fucking cyclist that shouldn't be there.
fuck that guy.
And who are those people playing music from their phone out loud? Unless you're the DJ in a club, no one cares. Just get some earphones.
Or at least get a better music taste. Like, I would be super annoyed if someone were to play "Power" by Kanye West, but I wouldn't have any complains if someone was playing "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson.
Honestly I do that but it's not loud af like if you take like 3 steps away from me you wouldn't hear it. I would also turn down the volume when people walk by me.
I hate it when people don't put their garbage in garbage bins, even when it's straight next to them.
Ketutar Jensen
Try working at a hotel cleaning rooms, where sometimes the cleanest part of the room is the trashcan
Was recently at a theme park, and in a line I watched two children further up in the line throw some garbage straight on the ground instead of the garbage can right next to them. Exclaimed to my friend beside me that "it looks like someone doesn't beat their kids hard enough". Had no idea their mother was standing right in front of me in line until she got back to them after the ride and I overheard her scolding them, pointing at me and saying "you're lucky that he isn't your father, he would have beat you for that". I almost felt like a piece of shit for the first time ever that day.
Use your turn signal when you're switch lanes. Especially if you're one of those jerks who likes to weave in and out of traffic.
Also don't turn on your turn signal until you are close to where you'll turn. If there's another road before it, people will assume you are turning on *that* road. If you realize you're wrong and another car is there now, give up and make the turn and then find a place to turn around. Don't hope that the other car won't hit you.
Olivia Rosario,,,, It is free!

merchantfan no you're wrong.Re-read the rules of the road
Stop walking around with your crappy music pouring out of your phone! EAR BUDS EXIST!
Yea, there's these douchebags that play loud mainstream rap in the hallways at my crowded school, and it's the most annoying thing ever.
For instance, I was walking through the hall one day with my friends, and we had just listened to The Mars Volta's masterpiece, De-Loused In the Comatorium, so I had "Televators" (amazing track, very deep) stuck in my head. However, those douchebags walked by us for a few minutes, and whatever god awful song they were playing got in my head for the rest of the day, thus making me in a bad mood. (Yes, my mood is dependant on the quality of the song I have stuck in my head)
yeah but I'm poor as fuck mate and this phone is a hand me down
being a jobless teen sucks
+Michael Edwards I get your beef, but my god are you an elitist, pretentious douche.
SupplySide Jesus I'm definitely an elitist because I have a taste in music
Michael Edwards That's fine. Everyone has different tastes, of course, but spinning your story in a way that ultimately had nothing to do with your initial problem makes you sound like you need to check yourself into the "I'm not better than anyone else so I need to stop pretending otherwise" university for smug assholes.
Not washing hands before leaving a bathroom should be on here.
+Matt Steelman smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1987#comic
We don’t like to think that someone touched their genitals and then something we touched, or especially ate, but it’s not like it’s a safety/health concern.
+Priscilla Collings Health isn't the main concern here, Priscilla.
+Priscilla Collings It is a health concern. Not washing your hands after using the bathroom spreads E. Coli bacteria, along with some others. If you have gonorrhea and touch your genitals, you can spread that as well.
+Matt Steelman There should be a special prison made for those people.
+SlayerTheGamer Oh god I don't know you live with yourself not washing your hands.
Here´s a few more.
1) Do not block doorways.
A doorway is usally meant for one or two persons to pass through. If you stop at a doorway you will block other people and prevent them from coming through.
2) When you´re in the grossery store and you´re using a shopping cart, don´t bring it with you wherever you go. When traveling through a narrow passage in the store to get something from that specific shelf, you don´t really need to bring that cart with you. Park it where it´s not in the way.
3) Also when you´re in the supermarket and you´re using a shopping cart, don´t walk in the middle of the "lane". People that are in a hurry or just want to make some quick and effective shopping are not able to pass.
4) When using double electric sockets to for example charge your phone, take the one at the bottom first. Because if you´re using the top one first you make it harder for the next user to plug in the electric cord in the bottom one.
I have one!
#6: Don't whistle at people on the street. They are trying desperately to go about their life. You just make them uncomfortable when you whistle.
this is one of my favorite cracked vids
So, I really like this video, especially the "no touchy" rule.
Ok, so I may be in a highschool filled with immature teenagers and my hair may be in a braid that is thick, impressive, and well beyond my butt, but for God's sake DON'T TOUCH IT. It's not a toy. It's not a snake. It's not a rope. It's not a train whistle for you to tug and say "choo choo!", you cannot yank on it and run away, if you are my friend you may not grab the end and whip it around saying "YAH! YAH! GIDDYUP!"
LOOK. DON'T TOUCH.
Have a nice day :)
XD sorry, but no, I'm not. I'm pretty much about as pale as they can come. But I can't really say I've ever felt the driving urge to touch someone's hair, black or white. I know for a fact that it's not nice when you feel someone touching your hair with no real warning. Those women have my sympathy, but I think that no matter who it belongs to, if hair is impressive in some way you should expect to encounter people who don't have the phrase "personal space" in their vocab.
Almost as awkward?! It's ten times as awkward! They do it because they see how long it is, and they think "oh, maybe if I just touch it a little bit they won't notice," but then they do it and I immediately notice. I turn this "what the hell, dude." look on them and they start rapidly apologizing and explaining themselves.
+Rica Point
I had a friend with that type of braid. We called it her 'braid of death,' because whenever she turned her head quickly, it flew and hit whoever was standing near her.
+Rica Point
She cut her hair :(
+Rica Point I have similar hair (hip length blond hair, though my hair is seriously "fine", so no "impressive braid" for me.. More like "emaciated, cancer stricken braid that garners sympathy from kids with leukemia who feel pity for it".. =X)
Though, I have a coworker very much like your class mates. She is a black woman though, and she regularly pets my hair, finger combs it, and plays with it, like I am some Barbie sitting at my desk solely for her hair fetishist amusement. The irritating part, I mean, above and beyond the whole "no personal space" thing; She does it mindlessly, and at the most fucked up times.. Like when she comes out of the bathroom, or after she's put lotion on... By the end of the day, I make every effort to not touch my now greasy, potty water hair, until I can take shower #2 after work.
BTW, I found (thought I did) a way to spare the hair! Buns. Boring, Librarian-esque buns. All my hair, wrapped into one uncomfortably large wad on the back of my head. It's seems "personal space" really wasn't in her vocab, because her response to that was to remove the bobby pins and clips holding my bun up, unravel it, and then proceed to resume petting me like a bunny in a petting zoo..
I suppose she thought the bun was foreplay... -_-
I'll say it. I hate people in general. To avoid most of this bull shit i shop in 24hour supermarkets and only venture out into the day if I absolutely must. Just call me Hermit.
Best way to be. Less stress.
going in at 2 or 3 am and stock piling every couple weeks is my plan.
It's a great plan! It's THE plan. Plan A as it were.
hear hear
the world would be better off without people. Period.
Thats the spirit...
"..and if you're wondering about X, great question! Write it down on a piece of paper and keep it in your pocket. Keep it forever!" ... this still makes me giggle :D
Oh god I can relate to the second one. Little freshmen stopping in the middle of the hallway in between bells to talk with their other little annoying freshman buddies knowing there are other students trying to get to class on time and trying to avoid getting stuck behind a human traffic cone.
People who take up multiple spaces in parking lots because they don't know how to park should've been on the list
People who intentionally take up two or more spaces are worse
People who drive trucks so big they require multiple parking spaces, in places other than farming communities where such trucks actually have a purpose.
lilyme3 I hate those people the most due to the fact they almost always drive such large vehicles only to compensate for their short comings in other areas (if you catch my drift) and not because they actually need a large vehicle for either their jobs or for other things like farm upkeep like you pointed out.
lilyme3 And how do you explain the sports car people who take up two to keep from getting scratches or dents
***** We're arguing the same point Haha
Attention strangers expecting mothers do not like it when you feel their bellies!
I had quite a few times random people touch my stomach...not even a hello just reach out and put their strange hands on my stomach.
Mace 'em. They'll learn.
John Doe next time ill be sure to carry some
No jury would convict you.
What kind of weirdo thinks its okay to go up to a total stranger and feel up their bellies because their pregnant?
Chris Smith the same kind of people who kept trying to touch my baby after she was born...
I kept a blanket over my baby all the time to keep people from reaching in to touch her
Some bus ones: don't stand in the doorway unless you are getting off at the next stop, it is 3 people wide and no one else is, or if there is literally no other room on the bus.
Don't block the isle when there are free seats behind you - idc if YOU wanna stand, I don't.
Don't stand at the front of the bus unless the rest of the standing room is gone.
If you have a right to the reserved seating in the front of the bus, but there are more than one strollers or wheelchairs, then sit in the first none folding seats and let the people fold up the benches and tuck their strollers and/or wheelchairs there. Don't force them to block the isle because you don't want to give them the space they are entitled to.
Don't blast your music or wear a fuckton of perfume. The first is inconsiderate and the second actually impacts my health: I have asthma and am allergic to perfume.
Don't stare at people who are one the bus (and not breaking any of these rules). Leave them alone, idc how weird you think they look, they have a right to ride the bus in peace.
And finally:
IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT YOU'RE BOTHERING THEM (_especially_ if it's relating to these rules) FUCKING LISTEN AND IF POSSIBLE/REASONABLE: ACCOMMODATE.
The blind left corner is a real deal. If college has taught me anything, its to not walk like an asshole, and give people at least a 3 second warning that I'm about to turn into another hallway.
wear a cowbell
I think the only time its acceptable is if your diving to a wall, avoiding some asshole speeding around the corner in a car on a backstreet that you need to walk on to get where your going. For some reason those assholes need to go 60 mph & turn wide to go around corners in a residential area, going into the left side of the street. (near where I live there is a street that people decide to speed through and they almost hit everyone and everything doing so.)
Sounds like you might close-line someone by accident.
I completely agree with everything, but there are a couple of additions to the walking rules:
1: When walking in a group of friends don't all walk side by side creating some kind of rolling road block of the pavement.
2: Do NOT stop to have a conversation in a high pedestrian traffic area, ie. Doorways, middle of path, etc.
3: Pram pushers, be wary of the size of your pram and where you are directing it, please note that it is not a battering ram.
On a side note: NO, I do not want to see photos of your Kids/Dogs/Cats/Beenie babies etc. I couldn't care less even if they were my own.
Words can't express how much I loved this video. It needed to be said! And Soren was the man for the job!
I'd like to add to the list those who, while shopping at a grocery store, see something that they want, yet instead of pulling the cart to the side to allow for traffic, they leave their cart in the middle of the isle while they slowly go to retrieve their desired item. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND YOU! This happens on a regular basis, where 2-5 people get held up by one idiot who refuses to have consideration for others. They seem to think that grocery isles have the same rules as the line at the checkout: everyone behind me has to wait for me to finish. Guess what- the people behind you don't have to wait behind you while you shop; if you had pulled to the side, those other people could get around you, to get to their own desired items.
It is like if you were driving on a busy road, saw a store that you wanted to visit, but rather than pulling into a parking lot, you decided to leave your car in the middle of the road, so that you could walk over to said store. Hey, screw those people behind you, right?
I think this situation leads to me being my most passive-aggressive. I will loudly say "Excuse me/us" drawing the person's attention to the fact that, while they were being selfish, a group of other people have been inconvenienced. Most will apologize and move their cart (as they should have to begin with), however there are always a few that are confused by the crowd of annoyed people behind them... as if they are completely unaware why said people are annoyed.
Those kinds of people should be forced to move into a town full of people just like them, everyone else would be free of their shit, and maybe they'd learn from their mistakes ;)
This video takes on a whole new level in 2020…
Who the hell are these people, why are your brushing your hair in the car let alone throwing it out the window.
John Adams I noticed this when approaching a vehicle from behind. The vehicle kept jerking to the left every few seconds. I passed her as fast as I could not knowing what was going on: she was brushing her hair.
l wish we could use this as a loop to be played in every school in America. Thank you.
I love how relatable his anger is. Also, can we agree on the fifth point: Don't throw garbage on the ground in general, not just out of the car window.
I'm a big fan of the no-touching policy with strangers. Why would you even want to touch them? You don't know where they've been, or if they'd be ok with it. Walked into a convenience store, and saw a clerk, that I usually see working in a different store, who also recognized me. Sure it was odd, but not all that much. Definitely not so out of the ordinary that our "familiarity" with each other made it alright for him to poke me in the stomach while I was walking by him. I'm not the pilsbury fucking dough boy, I assure you, I'm not into it. I was so weirded out by it, I just turned around, and walked right out. Haven't gone back to either of the stores I've seen him at just on the off chance I might run into him again.
People who freeze after going through a door or reaching the top/bottom of an escalator
Oh, here's an addendum to the etiquette for pedestrians. If you're walking down a sidewalk, hallway, or narrow path, stick to one side, or at least maintain your relative position along the path. Don't just switch sides every few seconds. For people who walk quickly, or those in a hurry, this can make passing another pedestrian unnecessarily difficult.
'Okay, coming up on this guy. I'll just pass him on his right... nope. Okay maybe his left. Nope. Hmm... should I say excuse me? Just like some cyclist ringing his bell at someone on a bike path? Ngh, they're the worst. Is that who I wanted to be when I was a kid? Oh here's my chance! He's sticking to a side. Maybe he noticed me trying to pass.'
Uncomfortably gets bumped into while passing.
'Sorry.' I say quickly, and spend the rest of the day trying to get over the trauma of accidental human contact.
*YES. THIS. HALLELUJAH SOMEONE ELSE GETS THIS! JUMPIN' JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, WHO ARE THESE INDECISIVE SOCIOPATHS, AND WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO WALK ALONE?!?!*
LOL the bike bell, so unnerving!
8 years later and this video is just still demonstrably true.
wow cracked was advocating social distancing way before the pandemic
Bring back Angry Soren! Angry Soren 2016!
One time I threw a banana peel out of my car window. I felt like a cartoon supervillain. Sorry everybody.
oh god yes, DO NOT TOUCH STRANGERS! Seriously, I fucking hate when people I don't know, or barely know touch me. It is super not okay. Don't do it.
Ever tried screaming *"BAD TOUCH!"*?
Lissy Rubisher I think Guess Who should be banned for similar reasons. Nothing worse than getting someone's greasy, sweaty hands placed over my eyes with no warning.
More than a few people have received kidney shots for that.
VampirateYuki Right! Never ever touch a stranger. Especially not pregnant people who get a lot of belly-touching. This is so creepy and wrong.
The only acceptable situation is when you need someones attentions and he or she doesnt react to you speaking to them. NOT for flirting but when you need their help or their standing in you way. And then arm, or shoulder. Nothing else. And by the way, don't touch people you know if you are not 100% sure if they want it. Can be really creepy to and people are less likely to complaint couse they might look like an asshole (they dont, its their right to not be touched).
VampirateYuki regardless of who it is, i NEVER let anyone touch me, i often downplay my OCD, but my big no-no is physical contact. the only person in the entire fucking world that i will let touch me for whatever reason is my mum for the occasional hug, and that's only for the psychological benefits of hugging your parent/child.
when i'm out in public, i will take any and all measures to avoid touching anything someone else has touched, even to the point of waiting until someone leaves the bathroom, politely moving past them and catching the closing door with my foot, and later opening it with my elbow.
if the bathroom is private to a disabled person, which i am (psychological problems, not physical), while washing my hands i will specifically coat the door handle with soap and strategically wash off the soap, a practice i use for ALL basin taps i use, regardless of circumstance.
if i have to touch anything, or god forbid, shake someone's hand, i'll nonchalantly sneak out my bottle of hand sanitizer without them seeing and distract them while i sneakily sanitize my hands without hurting their feelings.
it's gotten so bad that i can tell if someone washes their hands by how they smell.
that's right: i am such a nutjob about social hygiene that i have specifically, and unintentionally, developed a talent for smelling soap much like how a police dog can smell drugs.
and due to my hydrophobia, i usually find it VERY difficult to have a shower, so i often use antibacterial baby wipes to keep fresh and clean between the wars of water. it doesn't help that EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME i have a shower, my mum turns on the washing machine, legitimately forgetting about me showering, and the water doesn't build up enough pressure for at least half an hour AFTER the washing machine is turned off.
so often my only saving grace is going full-sheldon in my own home.
HotPocky
I'm sorry, I can't imagine how hard that must be for you. But yes another good reason not to touch strangers. It just makes me feel disgusted to be touched by strangers particularly men. I really have to know someone well before I can take being touched by them.
You have actively contributed to suffering in the world. lol.
I could add about a million more things to this list.
This video speaks to me on a spiritual level.
"5 Things the Worst People in the World Love Doing in Public"
Wait let me guess.
1. Murder
2. Rape
3. ...Double murder?
4. Whole bunch of murder I guess
5. Uhhhh.... pooping?
(watches the video)
well, I was way off
***** well that just goes without saying
+Bubblefilms IMBONKKERS Oh, don't tell me you're not a "belieber"! Even Anne Frank was a "belieber"... =p
+Chosen One 41 It's called hyperbole.
Alvin Brinson Sounds terrible, I hope that isn't contagious
Right? These are annoying, but they're still all first world problems.
North Dakota is like "Super Midwest" where all the qualities of the Midwest are amplified. Flatness, coldness, large-amounts-of-space-between-things-ness, corn-ness, etc.
I'm pretty sure I have the only legitimate reason for walking around barefoot, I'm a pretentious hippie who does it as an affectation ;)
Sometimes I feel like Soren and Dan are both nearly equally uncomfortable with people in general but while with dan it's equally and awkwardly distributed, Soren bottles it up and is smooth up until an aggressive explosion point, exemplified by videos like this (I think there's one other where Soren's Person Rage spikes on camera).
Add 5 don't throw your garbage /don't let the garbage lay around (yes in MC D and co too)
I have never loved a man as much as I now love this man. I feel I've yelled all of these things at one point.
Did anyone's brain go 'yes yes yes!' Lol
No lol
I was intending to make this exact video as soon as I lost weight, found a personality, and got over my overwhelming anxiety over being seen. Thanks for pickin' up the slack, Bowie.
Don't forget speakerphone in public locales. Always a joy, that one.
Like all Cracked videos, this is simply a video version of an article from yester-times, but I love how there are clearly certain points that you, Soren, obviously feel very strongly about. Hence the vehemence and passion of your delivery. Good on you, chum. x
if you keep getting hair in your windshild whipers you should probably stop running people over ;)
"5 foot buffer zone" This guy was way ahead of 2020
Was looking for someone else who noticed 😂
this is perfect. very old people and very young people need to watch this.
Hugely applicable in COVID-19 2020, in the land of one-way grocery store aisles
Ones that really piss me off is when I'm letting people pass me in line so I can think about what I'm going to get, AND THEY FUCKING FORCE ME TO CHOOSE IMMEDIATELY, I'M NOT DYING OF STARVATION, JUST FUCKING GO I DON'T CARE. Another would be when I'm crossing the road or an entry or exit along a sidewalk and I'm just walking slowly beimg lazy, then a car comes up and I stop because obviously cars move faster than people and I don't wanna move fast, THEN IT TURNS INTO A FUCKING STANDOFF, LIKE WHO'S GOING TO DRAW FIRST, or in this instance move. I hate when people fucking rush me especially when I'm literally trying to let them pass.
Sounds like you're a fat american slob.
Sounds like you're an ignorant idiot.
Who the fuck is "forcing" you to choose immediately? I'd happily step pass your indecisive ass. There's a reason for a line. If you're not ready, great! Gtfo the line all together.
The car stops because he is following the law, dumbass. Pedestrians have the right away. He's assuming you understand this since you're walking upright on two legs. You're the one who looks like a dumbass standing there confused.
Basically your post transcribed to this, "I'm indecisive and don't move very fast, and it makes me upset when I get in the way of people who know wtf is going on in the world."
I'm taking a wild shot in the dark here: You think as fast as you move.
No one is forcing you to do anything you neurotic self-centered clueless fuck. People just go about their lives, think, in that instance you're just another person in front of them, another person waiting to cross the street. And the thing about the people waiting in line, what the fuck man just get out of the line? Lines exist for people who've made up their mind, it's NOT the area where you stand and look at the lighted menu like a piece of shit. You don't wanna move fast? Wow you must hate it when people hold the door for you.
right. if u dont know what u want, dont get in the line. figure out wha u want then get in
This is one of the best videos you guys have done in a long time! This is fantastic!
okay, only thing about having a plan in line at a restaurant. Sometimes you have never been there before, and so you don't know what the options are, and there is no unawkward way to look at the menu ahead of time. This has happened to me a couple times and I feel so bad, but I didn't know what else to do. I do other annoying things too, and I know it and feel bad, but I make mistakes. Obviously there are horrible people that don't care, but I think the percentage of people who know they are annoying and feel bad is far higher than most assume (especially on the road where no one can hear me apologize from inside the car).
Don't get in line. That's all you have to do. Is don't get in line, until your ready. You're welcome.
+girlysword There's NO harm in needing extra service! If the menu is unclear or difficult to read... even the most overburdened & unapproachable counter crew will accommodate that! (Or if they can't... they should work elsewhere!) I think what he's driving at... are the people who squander the time they are in line NOT deciding what they want! So when it is their turn, they don't have a clue!!! MANY years ago... I worked in a food court & people would hem & haw at me to 'open another register' or even snap at the person in front to hurry up! THEN... when it was their turn, they were like 'hmmm what do I want???' THESE are the people who should stick to delivery!
+Nostalgia Jaden some times you cant see the menu from anywhere but the front of the line when a place is jam packed
This is perfection. The world needs to hear this. People stopping on footpaths is one of my biggest hates. And throwing shit out ur window is in another realm of selfishness.
No. While waiting in a queue, I have this thing called patience. Just go to your damn happy place. Last week my elderly mother made her first ever venture into a fast food shop. I don't know if you've ever considered this, but the way the options are presented to you in these places is fucking bewildering to newcomers. I witnessed this whole event - she spent easily less than 15 seconds asking questions about what was available and considering her choice, before she was heckled by some jerkwad ad the back of the line saying "it's called FAST food you dozy cow". Can you believe that?
I have a theory that this is all just projection. You are picking out all the times when you feel like the worst person in the world for getting impatient or whatever, and you're looking for someone else to blame.
I think that Soren was talking about when people who would have no problem doing it take forever to decide what they want when they get to the front. The disabled, elderly, and small children who are in line by themselves for some reason are an exception and should be treated with respect and patience. So in that instance, the dude was totally out of line.
cryptidhunter24 disabilities aren't always obvious or even visible at all. And what if the poor bastard at the front has just had a really bad day? Maybe they've just pulled a triple shift, or heard devastating news about a loved one. Everyone deserves our respect and patience until they are shown beyond doubt to be abusing it.
That's true too. I think the main thing is that you should always be patient, but don't be that guy who takes forever for no good, legitimate reason.
saltypork101 Perfectly put!
saltypork101 The thing that can be frustrating is that lots of people do this kind of thing regularly, the people who aren't overwhelmed or confused but somehow manage to spend all their waiting time on things other than deciding what they're going to order. It's especially annoying when you're stuck behind them and know exactly what you're getting and you're half-starved, and this person has like a troop of kids and friends and annoying relatives with them and is trying to figure out what everybody wants at the same time at the front of the line. Like get yourselves organized, for God sake. But it's not appropriate to heckle or get after people for being indecisive, regardless of whether they're elderly or disabled or what (though it certainly is worse). That is just so rude, we all still have to take responsibility for how we treat others, especially because, as you said, there could be numerous other possible reasons for someone taking a while with their order, they could be distracted and upset about something that's just happened, for example, but still have to get some food.
I've never worked fast food but even just working as a cashier has changed my perspective on how to go about buying things or placing a food order. I generally try to be as efficient and clear as possible, to make things easier for the employees and the people waiting behind me. I go up, tell the person what I want, whether I want it for here or to go, and how I'll be paying, as I take out my card or my money. Then they don't have to ask me all the same questions they end up asking almost every single customer. Saves time.
This made me laugh pretty hard, and it's 100 % true. Good reporting Cracked!
I love this man
This may be one of my all time favorite rants . Thank you.
People who smoke in crowded areas
People who walk together with friends, side by side, blocking an entire walkway. (Usually slowly, too)
People who stop in doorways. (Worse than when people stop in hallways or on sidewalks)
Drivers who merge onto the highway going 20-30 MPH under the speed limit.
Drivers who slow down LONG before their turn.
Truckers who are in the left lane going 10 MPH under for no apparent reason.
People who don't hold the door for an extra second when they can clearly see that your hands are full.
Drivers who, when they see that you're about 5 seconds from getting to a road that you're about to walk across, stop and look at you, indicating that they want to be "polite" and "let" you go first. (Making me feel like I need to walk-run all the way to and across the road, even though they easily could have just gone instead of waiting for me.)
People who hold the door for you even though you're not even close to the door and your hands aren't full. (Same problem as above.)
...
You know what?... Everyone. It's everyone. Nobody isn't awful.
Your second to last point is too fucking legit, everyone finds that annoying, yet everyone still does that shit when they're the ones driving, somehow forgetting how awful it is, thinking they're being nice...
Hey, in everybody's defense of that second to last point, you honestly can never tell if that person you're letting cross is going to be an asshat or a reckless kid and just keep walking into oncoming traffic anyway and expect you to stop. That happens way too often where I'm from which is why when I have to be a pedestrian, I always stop 4+ feet away from the curb and wave at them before crossing so that the driver who is coming knows I'm not planning on being an asshat and crossing until they have passed.
I agree with your list except one. Yielding to pedestrians who are about to go through a crosswalk is the law and probably don’t want to risk getting a ticket. They’ve been cracking down on it in recent years here in Jersey.
this has to be one of my favorite videos from cracked
the front of the line is a scary place...
whynot-tomorrow?,,, I know right. I saw some comedian saying how great it is to be "next". P
That, my friends, was Soren acting like DOB. And it works!
i totally know these things. these make me angry everyday.
this is less a comedy video and more of a public service announcement. thank you so much cracked. I wholeheartedly agree with this.
This guy is awesome.
I go through this everyday that I have to absolutely go through the general public. Soren, I tip my hat to you sir for bringing these points to light.
I 100% agree with all of these.
Best Merry Christmas video EVER!! Thanks Soren!
people think it's okay to touch my face because I have acne! is this just me? I have had people literally poke my face with their grimy AIDS covered claws while they ask me "what's wrong with your face?" wtf do you think?
Also don't talk to me if I have earbuds in, enough said.
Crazy Fangirl never heard of someone wanting to touch acne. That's messed up.
wolfmatic RIGHT?!?!
Crazy Fangirl I wouldn't even touch someone's face normally. Most people I know wouldn't. What kind of crazy people do you know? Or is it just because I'm in the world's politest country, Canada.
REALLY!
"Oh! I see your skin is riddled with disfiguring pustules, unfortunate stranger.
I must now touch you for no explicable reason... please remain still until I have finished my tactile exploration of your dermatological condition... "
Have people just lost their fucking minds???😬😝
Blue hair don't care what?! I've never heard of that happening! That's disgusting!! Peoples oily fingers won't help pimples go away!!
Videos like this make me appreciate living in a small town.
Retail customers asking us to check in the back for an item we told you we don't have: we know our fucking inventory, all we do back there is spend a few minutes on our phones to kill time and make it look like we checked, we review our inventory daily, when we tell you we don't have something, WE DO NOT HAVE IT, ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON LIKE A RATIONAL ADULT. The customer is not always right, in fact they almost never are. And control your hyperactive, rambunctious ass kids, it's a place of business, not your fuckin living room.
Elijah Bailey, the problem is that works in a lot of retail environments. If you ask that at the grocery store it might work. But some places, any where you plan to spend a couple hundred bucks, they know what they got. P
This video is in my Favorites list for a damned good reason and that's because these things should be laws.
I can't plan what i want to eat because I can't see well enough.
get some fucking glasses...
I have glasses, but's it's been two years since I've updated my prescription, and I can't afford a new pair.
...then spend your money on glasses instead of fast food. Problem solved,
Paul Gallo since when could the cost of fast food and glasses even compare?
JZ Squared
exactly
I 100% completely agree with the entirety of this video.
Damn, I can only hit the like button once.
This is literally the most perfect thing ever. Thank you for understanding. now if only this video was a physical object I could bludgeon stupid people with -.-
In the end I thought he was gonna take off his shirt and quite possibly strip... I was wrong😪
one time I was in line in a fast food restaurant and I forgot to have my order. I got to the front of the line and was immediately like "ssshhhiiiiiiiiittttttt", but it was too late. I dieded
Do this for driving etiquette pleeease!!!!!!!!!!
I love you, Cracked. -Love, two individuals faced with all of this on a daily basis
#2 Everyone in Japan...fails!
Seriously, if you are living or traveling in Japan, be prepared for basically everyone to stop randomly and then look at you like some barbarian when you bump into them. Annoys the hell out of me.
Great video! You should have added people who stop on sidewalks or in shop doorways to have a chat. Seriously need to find a more appropriate place for that!
I get amlot of these, but people need to stop rushing through life, because all they are doing is rushing to their deaths. 'Stop to smell the roses,' @as the saying goes.
Hysterical! And so true! LOL!
Luna Wolfe technically moving faster would give you more time to "smell the roses" in the limited time you get in this life
Hilarious, Soren please make more videos, you don't make enough and when you do they are on point. Seriously, make more videos.
Ha I live in a small town. I can stop whenever, Cuz Im the only one walking.
+Dresden Pierce omg yes. I'm that person who stops in crowds because growing up there was never any concern. I see something cool and I stop to look at it more. hahaha
+the603 yep
+the603 That's great. But now you're surrounded by hundreds of people that _don't want to deal with you_ so can you please stop and smell the rose somewhere else? Thanks.
This is BY FAR one of the most poignant and entertaining videos I've ever seen. Soren is fantastic.
It was in high school, so maybe hormones were working both ways, but I was standing in the lunch line. Chick with really large boobs was standing behind me. I had my long arms in my pockets, with my elbow kinda pointing behind me. Next thing I know, my elbow is nestled right in her ample cleavage. I pretended not to notice and she didn't make one sound or attempt to dislodge me. Either she didn't care, somehow didn't notice, or wanted my elbow there.
So...one instance where standing too close in a line was a net win for me.
There's also a chance that she was too scared. I'm defensive tackle sized AND dark of skin. So...
Elbow fetish chicks are into that weird stuff!
she was docking
As a chick with "ample cleavage" I can tell you, we are just used to the (usually) mistake.
Need more videos of Soren yelling at everyone!
1st world problems are funny
Zeno Planets you mean white people problems are funny.
Soren needs to do all of these, he's amazing
