Cell phones

I hate it when people use them in restaurants. I remember in college I was a bartender / server. I had this one couple come in, and they sat at the table with their baby in a high chair. Literally the entire meal they each sat their staring at their phones, texting whoever. Their kid was bawling in the high chair, completely disregarded .

I'm pretty sure they didn't talk almost the entire meal other than to order their food. :smash:

Love cell phones...hate it when people don't use them with courtesy in indoor public places. Not using vibrate (really?), talking loud when it's perhaps best to step outside to take the call, standing in a line and dealing with the cashier while never stopping the phone conversation thus doing 2 things at once thus slowing down the line as a whole.

when someone quotes the whole comment from right above there post. More annoying on the cell phone then the comp. but come on guy, I could figure out who your responding to!!

I do that because some of you post pretty damn fast - the time it takes me to post, 2 or 3more posts sneak inbetween mine and the one I'm commenting on. :oops:

People who travel in the left lane. The left lane is for passing, not putzing along.

Maybe they were texting each other?

They apparently don't teach that in Driver's Ed in Maine. Most guilty left lane drivers anywhere

you're out of your tree. The people from Mass are going 75+ in the left lane, as it should be.

Bathrooms with ALL hand dryers and/or paper towel dispensers at midget/4-year-old/handicap level. Yeah, I understand and can appreciate that there are ADA requirements but not everyone in this world is handicapped. Man, its sucks trying to dry your hands when the dryer is like 2.5' off the ground. Had this happen today in Portsmouth.

I literally just resort to the quick shake and then pants-wipe in that case. I almost never use the hand driers.

You're supposed to do the quick shake before you wash your hands... :dunce:
