A lot of seniors and retired people don't, or can't drive, and are dependent on others for rides, and sometimes those people are only available during their lunch hour, and they choose to help those who need it.
It is probably much more important for you to eat or get your errands run, but perhaps you could be a little more tolerant of others put in this situation by youth who choose to ignore or hide away seniors, instead of showing them the respect that their age and wisdom should command

Especially the 4-way stop at State and Mortenson, except at 5pm when everyone just rushes through it. All the rest of the day, it is courtesy and indecision central! "After you," "No, after you." I go through that intersection in fear that one of these extremely nice and indecisive people will step on the gas and plow into me just because they are too indecisive to take their foot off the gas. Sometimes, I even slow down early or stop way before the line, just to help make it clear that they can go first since they are on the right. But, no, it just seems to make the whole thing worse.
BTW, I didn't even know that jeans and tennis shoes were an issue for anyone, let alone so many of you. In fact, I grew up thinking that jeans and tennis shoes went together. Other shoes were for nicer types of pants. Sorry. I really haven't been trying to be that annoying.
These are pretty funny and i agree. How about when you are in your own building and you walk much faster than the fat middle aged women in your office but they are walking 4 wide down the aisle so for you to pass them you have to zoom around them and almost make contact with them and then they act like im the rude one because im trying to get my lunch so im not late from my break.
We do a lot for our elderly parents. They don't need to camp out at a grocery store blocking aisles for 2 hours over lunch on a weekday---or on weekends... The working class needs to get in and out and back to work to pay taxes and fund social security.
Many of these people drive themselves.
Good thing you clarified that'n...over here in the people's republic of Iowa City, a "topper" is a WHOLE nother thing all together.
I kid you not... our Hy-Vee has five different types of carts. And that's even excluding the kiddy race car ones!
It's okay to be old. Just make sure to get all your errands run in the morning or in the afternoon. Stay out of the lunch hour!
Can I "tattle" on my husband?
He doesn't throw little pieces of garbage away when he's in the kitchen. Blister packs from taking medicine, the seals off of things that are newly opened, bottle caps when we do have glass bottles.
The garbage can is right...there! It's a small kitchen, and the garbage can isn't located under the sink, either.

People who cut through parking lots, instead of driving the designated lanes.
People in the grocery store who are on a mission and blow past you... only to stop and take up the entire aisle inspecting their selection. I like a slow mosey when I grocery shop. I oddly find it relaxing, which is helpful given my parking lot frustrations.
But, by far number one... People who can't seem to park. Usually this is most applicable around handicap stalls. If you can't hit between the lines at 2 mph, how the hell can you do it at 55/70 mph?! Even if the lines are very faded, like many are this time of year, you can usually look around and figure out where your stall lines up.
Bolded for emphasis!

Actually bottle caps are recycleable....and glass too. They don't belong in a garbage can
busted!!
