Try it next time you're at a light. Stop with ample room in front of you, wait for the people behind you to stop, then move forward about six inches. Watch everyone else inch up with you.

I don't get it...DOES THE EXTRA SIX INCHES MAKE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE?!

I play that game all the time!!! So funny! how everyone follows.

Have you ever stopped in the middle of a sidewalk and just stared intently straight up? Give it about 3-5 minutes and if you're in a moderately busy city I guarantee you'll end up with a half dozen people around you looking up.

Everyone is a follower...

Incredibly unfriendly people at work.

So I'm walking down the hall and this woman is walking toward me. She works in my department, but I don't really know her, never met her for the most part. I look at her and say "Hey, how are you?" She glances at me, looks down at the floor and keeps on walking.

WTF?

She must think you're an asshole.

I've been here like 2 months! That's a record, even for me.

Maybe it was the mustard I had on my chin, I dunno...

Either that, or she thinks he's incredibly sexy, and she's extremely shy...or she's a complete douchebag.

I also hate those that can't sit still at a stop light, only to take their sweet ass time going after the light turns green.

Another one are the idiots who drive a beatup 87 Honda Civic Si with a whale tail. I mean, instead of blowing money of a whale tail, upgrade that piece of shit car.

Yeah what's up with that?

I'm always amazed at people that don't acknowledge a simple hello.

But then again, maybe she's just super shy or something?

She didn't seem like the ultra-shy type. Pretty good looking, confident walk, didn't seem like a pushover.

Maybe I'm just that repulsive, I don't know. I was having so much fun on this thread and now I'm feeling horrible about myself...

It's more than just being shy. I knew this one chick that had social anxiety disorder. She was petrified at the prospect of talking to someone and had to work really hard at doing even simple things like going to the grocery store and checking out.

LOL yeah I hate that too

Even if I have room to move up I'll just sit there sometimes to tick off the person behind me.

Actually, I just thought of a real one. I hate, hate, hate the grade schoolesque substitutions for other teams' names, i.e. eagirls, iggles, eagulls, vagiants, cowgirls, etc. I get it once in a while, but all the effing time? It just bugs me... I'm sure I'm the only one...

I'm with you BleedBurgundy. The only one that makes me laugh is Vagiants.

My favorite car game growing up in Newport RI (very touristy). Was to go downtown where all the tourist were and drive really slow like 1 or two miles an hour but when someone crossed in front of you slam on the brakes the car will lurch up like it came to a sudden stop. It scarys everyone everytime.
