20 Inconsiderate Things People Should Avoid Doing In Public

In an ideal world, we imagine that when it comes to our interactions with society that they are pleasant and minimal and as drama free as possible. We each have so much going on individually, is it really fair to throw more problems on to the overburdened shoulders of others just trying to make their way in the world. Somebody asked a question about ‘what is something people do in public that gets under your skin?’ and the online community delivered in their responses. The following are the most popular submissions chosen from over 5000 comments with details on our annoying traits that have just got to end. More info: Reddit

Image source: dan1101, Vlad Hilitanu People who keep passing me and then slowing down so I have to pass them. I'm on cruise control going the same speed all the time. Pick a speed, we don't need all this lane changing!  

#5 Standing too close behind me in line. It will not make the line move faster, I promise.

Image source: Cycl0ptic260, Jack Sparrow I dont know how to put it but not navigating a store correctly. You should navigate a store like you drive. Leaving the aisle you stop and yield to people on the main walkway. Stay on your side while walking and pull over properly and get out of the way if you need to stop and look. Check your blind spots. Etc etc.

#10 People that take up the whole aisle in the grocery store. Push your s**t to one side or the other so other folks can shop, you inconsiderate prick.

#12 Idiot drivers who change lanes way too sudden and not use their f*****g turn signals.

When I worked at Starbucks I got written up because I was working window and some guy came through in a pickup and ordered a venti caramel macchiato. He's a regular turd when I open the window and charge him but when I came back and opened the window to give him his coffee, he was actively dumping all the garbage from inside his truck all over the drive thru. Receipts, kleenex, mcdonald's wrappers and tim hortons cups, all over the ground and he was doing this like it was the most natural thing in the world. I said, "what are you doing?" and he said, "they pay them to clean it up". I said I was going to have to clean it up and he shrugged, so I dumped his drink on the ground between the window and his truck and told him I was saving him a step. It was rural Alberta, so the situation was de-escalated by an even bigger guy getting out of an even bigger truck behind him and telling Litterbug to get moving. Bro had to call the store to complain, I still had to pick up the garbage and I got written up but I'd do it again just to watch his face as he watches me dump his fucking drink. Pissant.

Not pick up after their dog. I live in an apartment complex and I see dog s**t *everywhere* despite there being free baggies and trashcans. It's literally in the lease agreement and they need to start enforcing it. People who don't leash their dogs. Regardless of their recall ability. When a dog comes running up to me and my dog, the owners always call out, "Oh it's okay, he's friendly!" Yeah, but you know who *ISN'T*? You know who is about to start s**t because a stranger just got up in her face? My cranky a*s 13 year old dog leashed by my side. Also the cat owners that let their cats roam completely unattended outside. My dog has been attacked twice on our walks. Completely unprovoked ambush. I was scared she was gonna lose an eye.

#18 Watch Tik Toks or videos LOUDLY.
