The basic rules of the road that have gone largely unchanged during our lifetimes. Just use your fucking blinker and drive predictably. And get off your motherfucking phone for 15 seconds and pay attention to where you're piloting your 3000 lb person squisher, tik tok will still be there in 15 minutes.

Every single established procedure we have at work which are there to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot, which they instantly forget if they haven't encountered whatever that situation is in the last, oh, three days or so. And then proceed directly to shooting themselves in the foot by making up their "own way" to handle whatever it was because "they didn't know what to do," which then turns out to be wrong 100% of the time. Which is why we have those procedures in the first place.

Shutting doors when the A/C or heater is on. Apparently closing doors behind you is rocket science out here in California.

The Search Function on almost any platform.

Hundreds of posts asking the same question on a particular topic on enthusiast or hobby pages….these bury actual new topics & discussions.

Or people on buy/sell/trade pages looking for certain items, when there’s multiple posted within the last few days, and are still available.

That other people exist in the world.

Me. People forget about me all the time. I don't understand why I'm so unremarkable to them. It's either that or they don't care about me and I'm choosing the former because it's less depressing. However, I fear it's actually the latter.

That Wednesday is trash day.

To answer the topic - the value of my time.

To comment on the YouTube thing - AFAIK it only makes you log in if the video is flagged for mature content. Embeds still work fine otherwise.

Mostly stuff about me I know I’ve told them. If you ask me a question I know I’ve given you the information for before I’m having a bad time. To me it’s about how much attention is this person actually paying to our conversations or are they just phoning it in.

That in the US, it is usually legal to make a right turn at a red light. People who drive up to a red light in the middle or toward the right side of the right through lane forget this. When inevitably a car seeking to turn right stops behind them, blocked from progressing to the intersection, they pull up 5 feet while failing to move their car more than 3 inches to the left.

I've been behind drivers who do this at one intersection, recognize that people behind them can't get by, and then stop in the same position at the next intersection to have the scenario repeat itself.

I've also been first at a red light, pulled fully to the left side of the right lane, and had a car drive up behind me a half a car-width further right be surprised when they find out they're blocking right-hand turners. What do you suppose was the thought process when pulling up behind me? "Look at this maniac stopped all the way on the left side of the lane!"

Leaving dishes in the sink to "dry". Take 5 seconds of you previous time, use a towel and put it in the cupboard so the sink is usable if you need it for something.
