@Zach this reminded me of one of my biggest ones – in the elevator! You’re going to lose reception…why do you keep trying? Haven’t you learned? Definition of an idiot is…

And yes – we’ve talked about the dumb people actually somehow killing all the smart people by accident. damn it.

And I like that you have a post on cell phones, but still managed to slip in a Five Dollar Footlong reference. Great work!

For me (carless) #1 is people walking down the street. Just get out of the way! The way they stumble back and forth – it’s ridiculous.

#2 (and a close second) is on the subway. Seriously- the number of times I hear people yakking away is insane. Especially when the reception cuts out, because we’re in a subway after all, and they start yelling.

Honestly, I’m just waiting for darwinism to take care of all this. But unfortunately, as I’ve argued before, stupid people driving while talking on the phone are more likely to take out a smart person walking. So… reverse-darwinism? crap.

@Bailey Yes, the bus is another bad place…especially after they specifically ask people not to use their phone. And I like stats….what can I say!

Three things:
1. The bus. And this is after the bus driver has explicitly said not to use your cell phone and there are ‘no cell phone’ signs posted around the bus (more than exit signs). You could be as far away as possible to someone on the bus and if they are on their cell phone you can hear their whole conversation.
2. I also hate when people play video games on the bus and forget to turn the sound down. I mean what 25-year old still plays Super Mario? Haha sorry Drew I just had too.
3. Favorite part of the post… it is on cell phone etiquette but you still managed to throw a stat in there.
