How ****ing convoluted Facebook makes it to deactivate your account. I log in every few months for this or that and immediately deactivate my account till the next time and you would think I would know my way by now, but oh boy, Zuck sure wants to make it really hard to deactivate your account.

It's like asking the USPS to stop delivering junk mail.

Was in two different grocery stores today, saw it in both. People who open food and drinks and leave that **** on the shelf for someone to clean up.

Like they eat/drink some of it (without paying for it) and in addition leave it on the shelf for someone else to clean up? Some people have no shame.

People in general should never surprise me anymore with their levels of stupidity but they always find new ways to do so.

Not related to this, but recently I saw two cars turning left. The car in front was turning, then waited halfway as there was a crowd of people crossing the street at the intersection.

The car behind that car started honking like crazy and almost drove AROUND that front car (it's only a single lane to turn left so they would've swerved on the other side of the road to get around the car) WHILE people were crossing in front of that car which is why that car wasn't moving!

Like how stupid do you have to be?

And the week before that I saw someone honking at a car for not driving through an intersection during the exact same time an ambulance with their sirens on was going through the intersection. You're getting mad at a car for yielding for an ambulance with their sirens on? Are you stupid.

And a car drove past a school bus with its stop sign out and lights flashing.

People are just stupid.

I don't think it's stupidity so much as people being selfish, self-centered, and self-absorbed; though they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive

That's the point.

I don't mean stupid as in they don't know any better.

I mean stupid as in they're so oblivious to what's going on around them.

Well, there really is no junk mail. Oh everybody wants to get a check or a birthday card but it requires just as much manpower to deliver it as their precious little greeting cards!

Not like you got something from the Sam's or Costco food court area and just left it on a shelf. Talking about people legit ripped open say a pack of cookies or took one can out of a pack.

People are just stupid.

Been seeing this around here more. To the point where parents were recording cars and posting their license plates.

Not only this, but they'll also bring in outside food/drinks and leave the wrappers or cups everywhere for someone else to clean up.

Drink cooler doors left open at convenience stores. Just about every single time I go into a convenience store, it seems like there is almost always one cooler door left open. And usually its the one I want a cold drink from, not a tepid drink.

Insurance, insurance, insurance, insurance, insurance.

Someone hit my wife's car about a month ago. In a parking lot. They left the scene. We had to file with our insurance, and it's taking longer than expected to fix the car. Her rental car policy will be up in a few days and we tried to get an extension due to circumstances out of our control (part of that being the lengthy back and forth for the adjuster/body shop), the adjuster said "the circumstances are out of our control too". Funny, I thought that was the purpose of insurance in the first place.

I'm going through the exact the same thing. In February an 88 year old man backed into my car (brand new, btw) and fled the scene. Cops caught up with him later on and he told them that he wasn't aware that he was in an accident and that he didn't recall the situation.
