    I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

    I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

    I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

    I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

    I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

    I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

    I feed people’s pets without asking.

    I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

    I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

    I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

    I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

    I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.

    People listening to music or watching videos on their crappy phone speakers on public transports drive me crazy… I don’t want to hear the coughing fits of agony of your phone’s speakers for hours on the train 😭 JUST BUY EARPHONES

    Let cars merge onto the highway?

    People do realize it’s the merger’s responsibility, right? I mean, don’t block people in, but you should be holding your speed if you’re in the right lane, not adjusting.

    Drive predictably, not nicely.

      In the US the person in the acceleration lane/on-ramp is responsible for merging with the flow of traffic on the highway, presumably because the person already on the highway has less opportunity to yield safely.

      One time, in the middle of the night on an empty highway, as a car was getting on they accelerated right up next to me and then did the same speed as me until the acceleration lane ended and then honked at me for being in their way.

      I don’t think I was in the wrong there even if it would have been easy to change lanes for the other car. They could have just as easily merged ahead of or behind me.

        I’ve thought about it and I really should have just let that guy in. I don’t remember all of the details, I just remember feeling righteously indignant afterward, so that’s how I tell the story. It was probably just a coincidence that we ended up at the same speed right next to each other and it would have been super easy to just move over, barely an inconvenience.
