Why do people talk on speakerphone by themselves?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I’m just cranky today – but when you’re in a confined area with a couple other people, try to pay attention to how loud you’re talking on the phone and you really<\/em> don’t need to use the speakerphone and talk louder.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 They’re usually pretty sensitive, you don’t need to talk really loud into the phone.\u00c2\u00a0 Try a headset.\u00c2\u00a0 And use headphones when you’re listening to music\/videos.<\/p>\n

Double doors.\u00c2\u00a0 Seriously – if you’re going to unlock one, unlock both.<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know if I’m just backwards from the rest of the world, but 90% of the time I will try to walk through the one you were too lazy to unlock.\u00c2\u00a0 One of these days I’m going to end up with an arm through the glass and sue someone’s ass.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe even make it some kind of law.\u00c2\u00a0 Am I alone here?\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve started unlocking the other door if I can get to it.<\/p>\n

If you are jaywalking and a car honks at you because they’re about to hit you – do not give them the bird.\u00c2\u00a0 You are in the wrong, they have every right to lay on the horn.\u00c2\u00a0 Conversely – if you are driving and turning to go through a crosswalk and almost run-over a pedestrian that has the right-of-way, accept the angry look\/gesture\/pocket full of change thrown at your car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
