What's something that frustrates you a lot that you've bottled up and kept to yourself? (lemmy.ml)

For me it’s the fact that where I work the management don’t give a fuck about the staff and the fact that we got promised new equipment which we got but a week later they chained up to a rail so that only one shift can use it.

So let some steam off and talk about it.

I live in Los Angeles and I’d say that people being completely unaware of their surroundings and other people.

People don’t move out of the way unless you confront them with a loud “excuse me” and that’s a gamble because they might try to start shit with you.

While driving people don’t move to the rightmost part of the street to get out of the way while making a right turn despite the right lane (usually) being super wide to allow for flowing traffic.

When ordering at a food establishment, people don’t decide what to order before/during the time they’re in line. Instead, everyone looks kind of annoyed that it’s taking so long but once they reach the counter it’s their turn to leisurely browse the menu, ask stupid questions, etc and hold up the line.

My motto is “don’t these people have anywhere to be? Anything to do?” I’m originally from the Midwest so it’s weird to me that people move this slow and act so clueless in an urban environment.

I don't live anywhere near LA but I work at Walmart and this is basically my inner monolog. My job is judged on speed but everyone needs to be in my way, moving as slowly as possible, usually with all 5,000 members of their immediate family spread out across the aisle in case an employee dares try to get anywhere.

I feel you. My first jobs were in fast food, then Walmart, then warehouse jobs after that. So even though I’m a web developer now I still have that eternal frustration with people moving too slow.
