16 things only a total jerk would do


You exit the grocery store, looking around for where you left your car, and then you see it. A shopping cart is careening through the parking lot, possessed by gravity and headed straight for your car. You're too far away to stop it, and internally you curse the person who didn't take two minutes to put it in the cart holder. We all know the type: the total jerk. Well, here are 15 other things only a jerk would do. Take a look, and see if you've ever been that guy — the one everybody hates.

more of these that make you say.. uhuh!

The driver of that car can br prosecuted, IIRC.

Driving without due care and attention.

BTW does anyone else reckon Audi drivers have become the new Volvo drivers?

Another dent I could have lived with, but this particular lucky shot took out my turn signal.

I've had a few of those happen to me, especially people taking up two spaces in a crowded garage.

I don't get double parkers. While I wouldn't damage another person's property, I know there are a lot of people out there that will. I'd would think their vehicle is more likely to be damaged intentionally by double parking than accidentally by parking normally.

Arseholes leaving shopping carts whereever they feel like. Around here mostly done by able bodied smug redneck college punks that wear short pants and those stupid blue/white striped sandals during the winter. While I was visting my mother she did the same thing and I really laid into it to her. It's just that bad and selfish behavior that absolutely incenses me. Then again, I'm such a prude that I believe changing lanes without signalling should result in a flogging and tearful trite admission and apology as to why one was inconsiderate should be the rule of the day.

And driving while distracted with an electronic gizmo is downright dangerous.

One shopper, one parking place. What's the problem? The big SUV next to it probably also conveyed one shopper.

Around here the problem is so many monster trucks and SUVs that you can barely fit a normal car between them.

Web developers that make web pages that use so many scripts that those of us who use Script Blocking have to turn them on one by one, guessing which one will finally unlock the images to view, until we finally give up and get off that page.
