Colleagues who muddle all information when they email everyone about some required action, so it takes five more general emails to get the instructions straight. We work in an effing COMMUNICATIONS department, FRO with the vague instructions!

People that are seemingly incapable of keeping their hands/eyes off their phone while driving. Even at red lights. Doesn’t matter.
Being out on foot a lot, you look at the people driving. I would feel comfortable saying more than 50% of people are dicking around on their phones. It’s an absolute embarrassment.
If you can’t tolerate a 15 minute drive without checking whatever nonsense on your phone, have a fucking look at yourself.
I’m tired of people almost hitting me because they can’t bear to pay attention, but mostly my irritation with this is rooted in a genuine concern for where we are as people and where we are heading (absent attention spans, evaporation of critical thinking skills, decreasing levels of intelligence, etc).

I really feel this post!!! I haven’t drove in a decade and the last 2 months with a hour commute 1 way is becoming too much. I don’t feel safe on the road for everything you just listed. I started pulling over if the car in front or behind me is on there phone and I wait a little for them to get farther down the road then I get back on the road. It’s taking longer for me but it’s what I have to do. I’m even scared to turn into places… even with plenty of time with the blinker and slowing down little by little it’s still like im causing such a issue for the car behind me and the yell at me or zoom around me. It feels like every man for himself out there.. it feels like it takes me 2 or 3 hours to recover after driving. The phone distracting people on the road is a major issue and I was glad to read this tonight because then I know im not the only one seeing this madness! Thanks Tmac. Sometimes I start to think damn im a loser for thinking about this stuff but that’s all in my head. I start thinking maybe im the problem but that’s not it. It’s that I care. I care a lot. Then its like well I’ll just go back to biking then I have the same issues you listed. Then I’m still not safe!! I don’t know what the phone in the car sollution is but there needs to be one. And with those last couple sentences in your post if you say that stuff out loud then they call you crazy or say it’s conspiracy stuff haha.. no things are getting weird and im also worried about the way things are going but I guess all I can do is my part. To keep my side of the street clean and continue to speak up when I see wrong

AI slop.
Specifically anyone who sends me an email which has been first-drafted by an AI bot. They’re so anodyne that it confuses my brain.
Good job there’s the big “Delete” key

I muted the FRO thread, but I do need a dumping ground for this peeve. Went to the gym last night, it was wicked busy. I did get there at 4:30 pm, so just ahead of the post-work crush.
Kids who monopolize a station, or even a piece of equipment, while they “relax” between sets scrolling their goddamn phones for 5 minutes can FRO. Learn some manners, and learn some etiquette.
Thanks for giving me a place to let this out.

Happens a lot at my gym, actually with groups of young blokes taking equipment and just fucking about on their phones together. I don’t mean to stereotype, but honestly I’ve never met a single female gym member who behaves that way.
I got a tip : Smile at them and ask to jump in and do your set in between their set. They can’t say no really as they are blatantly sitting on their ass doing jack. They then suddenly speed up their routines whilst sharing the equipment and tend to be more respectful. And they got a smile, so it disarms their ego.

People happily posing with murdered animal and using this photo as a profile avatar can fro! I know it’s not breaking any rules but it’s just fucked up.

Rules 2 and 15 apply. It breaks the rules. I didn’t flag yet as it’s a new member but if it stays up I will.

We can flag profile pics? GREAT!
I’m in with this user I already noticed and thought WTF?

Well, maybe not literally. But we can always flag his first post. I remember years ago a member using Richard Heydrich as his avatar. That wasn’t tolerated. I wasn’t a mod yet myself if I remember correctly (and have given up moderating some time ago).
I did send a normal message about this one earlier to the mods but so far no reply.
Edit: I did get an answer so thanks mods.
