6. Cretins who pay no attention to their surroundings
Thu Nov 15, 2012, 01:08 PM
Nov 2012

and the people around them. And there are more of them every day.

Imbeciles who get off escalators and STOP. Where are those of us behind them supposed to go?

Hammerheads who are so utterly incapable of being away from their "devices" that they walk into others on the street. I've seen a couple walk straight into traffic yet escape the natural consequences of such breathtaking stupidity.

The dimwits who charge into elevators like a herd of meth-driven wildebeest as soon as the doors open without giving anyone in said elevator the chance to exit.

Bicyclists who merrily run red lights into cross traffic and smirk at you when you have to slam on the brakes to keep from mowing them down. There should be a bounty on these assholes.
