Are These 3 Things Disrespectful to the People Around You

Definitions of what is and isn't disrespectful to people vary depending on who you ask. There isn't a specific disrespectful line drawn that flashes red lights, but some people could use it. It's kind of like baseball's unwritten rules. You don't know about it, but when you see it or the consequences of it. Someone hot dogging it around the bases after a home run leads to the next batter catching a 95mph fastball in the ribs. Unwritten rule, "eye for an eye" kind of thing. Buzzfeed put together a list of things that are common, but people find disrespectful. Let's take a look at a couple I sort of agree with, but might also be guilty of.

1. Abandoning stuff in a store, in the wrong place or shelf. If you're too lazy to return it to where you got it, then just hand it to the cashier at the checkout. - I have been guilty of this a time or two, but it's mainly when I'm there with my kids. People who have had to tell their child to get off the ground or stop touch that sponge multiple times understand. There are no seconds to spare to make it back to that specific aisle. That bag of mints and tuna can live there now.

2. People who park in designated spaces that don't pertain to them . . . like accessible spaces for people with disabilities, or "curbside pick-up" spots. - You people are the worst kind of people. Is it really so difficult to find a spot two or three rows away? You're at Marshall's. The parking lot isn't that big. I've seen men park in pregnant mother spots and that enrages me. Are you a person who regularly steals a handicap spot? You're a crumb creep, but at least limp your until you're in the store. This one definitely crosses that disrespectful line.

3. Not flushing the toilet in public restrooms. - I think this one tiptoes the line, but if you're using a public restroom at a store, yea flush that thing. If you're at a sporting event and the lines are long because it's halftime or intermission then you need to keep things moving. Most of these places have automatic flushing toilets, but if the auto-flusher is not auto-flushing you can't do anything about it. Keep the line a-moving.

Are you annoyed at these 3 things? Take a deep breath, but go check out Buzzfeed's full list here.

You're cruising down the road, wind in your hair, and the stereo cranked up to your favorite song. Life couldn't be better, right? Well, hold on, because here come those annoying drivers determined to ruin your joyride. From the oblivious ones who think turn signals are optional, to the speedsters weaving through traffic like they're in a Fast and Furious movie. There's no shortage of infuriating things they do. It's like they have a secret handbook on how to push our buttons.

You've probably dealt with tons of annoying drivers over the years. While the list of annoying drivers could go on, there are eight examples that stand out as the worst of the worst. The next time you find yourself near an annoying driver, take a deep breath, and remember that patience is a virtue.

Does the car's brand make a driver more annoying? A 2021 survey conducted by Moneybarn in the United Kingdom found that BMW owners were widely regarded as the most disliked drivers on the road, with nearly 40 percent of respondents identifying them as the worst and most prone to causing accidents. Audi came in a distant second at 14 percent.

In the United States, Insurify, a car insurance comparison website, released a report on the Rudest Drivers in 2021. To compile the data, their team analyzed over four million applications, where applicants disclosed their car make and model and any driving violations over the past seven years. The results showed that in 2020, BMW drivers were considered the rudest. In 2021, it was Kia Stinger drivers who took the top spot. Audi A4 Allroad drivers ranked as the second rudest, followed by BMW 4-Series drivers.

Ultimately, it is the driver, not the brand of the car, that determines their behavior on the road. While these findings may suggest certain trends, it would be unfair to make blanket assumptions about all drivers of a particular car brand.

Annoying drivers can really test our patience, but it's important to stay cool and drive responsibly. Remember, we're all just trying to get from point A to point B in one piece.

Here are 7 seriously annoying things that other drivers do on the road.

You know the type. They leisurely cruise along in the left lane, seemingly oblivious to the growing line of cars behind them. They show no intention of moving over, despite signs clearly indicating slower traffic should keep right. It's as if they believe they own that lane and everyone else is just passing through.

You're approaching a merging lane, diligently signaling your intention to merge, when suddenly you spot them—the driver who can't seem to commit to either accelerating to merge or slowing down to let you in. They teeter on the edge of indecision, causing a chaotic dance of hesitant maneuvering that disrupts the flow of traffic.

We've all encountered the driver who seemingly has a vendetta against personal space. They ride your bumper with an intensity that could rival a race car driver. Whether they're running late or simply have a persistent need to assert dominance, their tailgating antics create an anxiety-inducing experience.

Honking is meant to be a communication tool, a gentle reminder to draw attention to potential dangers or to express gratitude. However, a special breed of drivers wield their horns like a weapon of mass annoyance. They honk at the slightest inconvenience, from a fraction-of-a-second delay at a green light to a cautious pedestrian exercising their right of way.

We're all aware of the dangers of distracted driving, yet some individuals choose to engage in activities outside the confines of a moving vehicle. From applying makeup and eating full meals to scrolling through social media or engaging in animated conversations, these drivers treat their cars as mobile living rooms. Their lack of focus puts us all at risk, and we can't help but wonder if they have forgotten that driving requires undivided attention.

The left lane, aka the fast lane, is meant for, well, going fast. But there's always that one driver who decides to take a leisurely Sunday drive right there, blocking everyone else behind them. This forces other drivers to undertake risky maneuvers to overtake them, leading to frustration and potentially dangerous situations.

Traffic rules exist for a reason. To maintain order, safety, and efficiency on the roads. However, some drivers seemingly view these rules as mere suggestions. They run red lights, ignore stop signs, and make illegal U-turns with complete disregard for the potential consequences. Their actions create chaos and put everyone around them at risk.

It's like these drivers believe that turn signals are optional car accessories. They change lanes or make turns without a single blinker in sight, leaving the rest of us to play mind readers and guess their next move.
