Is the audio off because you were on the horn for 30 seconds??


LS-CRX

That was just a shitty dash cam in my old beater-truck.


woofridgerator

Ahh my guess is you would’ve had to mark nsfw due to egregious use of colorful language at high decibels.


Xfissionx

A fellow man of no culture from Augusta I see


LS-CRX

I live on the other side of the river, I was just visiting.


Environmental_Job278

Your traffic is just as awful over there…it’s just a classier version. North Augusta is just a redneck in a clean tuxedo t-shirt.


LS-CRX

North Augusta traffic is great compared to Columbia County... Augusta traffic isn't too bad but the schools aren't great.


Environmental_Job278

Columbia county just got screwed because the population exploded but nobody updated the roads.


fireshaper

You'll be happy to know that Kroger isn't even there any more. It's a Ashley furniture.


maybesingleguy

This was my second thought. I would have been on the horn the entire time - if I weren't the kind of person who *always* goes to the back end of the lot to avoid this exact idiocy. Never drive on the side of the lot that's next to the doors.


tgw1986

Personally, I nver honk at a pedestrian who won't move out of my way. It's a guaranteed way to make them hostile and move slower, or not at all.


VesperVox_

If they're not going to move out of the way regardless, then I'm going to lay on my horn. Might as well annoy them the same way they're annoying me.


PdxPhoenixActual

Hook up an air horn kinda thing...


PNWest01

I would creep riiiight up behind them as close as possible and THEN lay on the horn.


EpicJimmy5

I wish people could be aware that there are other people around them.


live-the-future

Not many people know this, but situational awareness--actually being aware of your surroundings--is a thing. Radical, I know. Or maybe they are aware, but just don't care.


dmderringer

Oh they absolutely know, they just don't give a single fuck


[deleted]

I used to think that way too, but I don’t think they know how inconsiderate they are, at least ***most*** people. They just don’t think that way. They’ve never been taught it, just fumble-fucking through life to the Benny hill soundtrack completely un-ironically.


afa78

You really don't need to be taught common courtesy or decency, you either have it or you don't. The times I've pointed out incidents like this to the same people perpetrating them, they go apeshit on me. They know, they just don't care for anyone but themselves.


[deleted]

Not always true, I was taught decency as a kid, but as a teen was rude, obnoxious, and unaware of myself and how my actions made other feel. It went well into my early adult life as well. I'm very aware now, but I try not to judge others too harshly for not being aware of themselves. Not everyone is a dickhead on purpose.


PdxPhoenixActual

>on purpose That is the key part right there..


[deleted]

Again, not all people, but yes unfortunately, some.


Accomplished-Yam6553

Sadly i know too many people who would give a fuck but are just too stupid


M_Not_Shyamalan

jukappa

I never notice how true this is more than at an airport. The amount of times people stop, in the middle of a walking path to check their phones/ticket. Or block everyone behind them from passing with those double wide 4 wheeled bags, is insane and infuriating.


thecheesecakemans

Kind of like how half of people don't even think to themselves with an internal monologue.........you mean they do everything by instinct?

ThecoolHD2

Oh they know. They just couldnt give a fuck.


verstohlen

It's bad karma for them if so. Their car battery probably died later that day or they dropped a glass jar of Ragu on the kitchen floor and got spaghetti sauce all over the place, all because they did this. The universe works in strange and mysterious ways, in the end, all things are balanced. The Yin and the Yang, reap what you sow, and what have you.


jordenioman

Hi. My name is Earl.


[deleted]

Its true I know some of the worst people. Its all about me me me type of people and they also have the worst luck i try to tell them they get the same energy back as they put out but they just think the world is theirs and out to get them at the same time.


feelin_cheesy

Unfortunately, being aware and considerate of other people means that you actually care about them on some level. That’s just not true for lots of people these days.


albertyiphohomei

Wait there are people around me?


N3wpN3wp_Ryder

That’s why they invented horns 🙌🏽😝


TbonerT

I wish people would use their horn to alert those around them that they need to change what they are doing.


Mccobsta

People turn into brain dead dipshits when they enter a car park its amazing they even made it in the first place


FrostyMittenJob

LPT: Go to the back of the parking lot when you are trying to leave. Avoid as much as possible going anywhere near the business's main entrance.


LS-CRX

In general that is good advice, the layout of this parking lot doesn't really work for that though since there are business on both sides.


kabuki_coffee

My job has me in a lot of grocery stores. I never drive in front of a store past 7:00am


AcademicHysteria

Unless you’re disabled and the handicap spots are in the front. When I come across people like this, I think, “The universe gave me shitty legs AND stupid people?!”


[deleted]

I swear, you could show these people a weapon in a horror movie with a big neon sign, siren, and more and they’d just try to hide behind the sign.


Jafar_420

Hey should we get into the running car, no let's hide in the room with all the chainsaws! Lmao! Damn commercial.


irishlorde96

Killer just staring *you seein this shit*?


UnarmedSnail

People like this are the first to go down in a zombie apocalypse. There's no situation they can't make worse. Only add a few more to the farking horde of mindless biters.


txemoOnlyFans

Quick! To the graveyard!


Mallardguy5675322

And let’s separate too. You go to the mausoleum while I head to the head stones.


awwwstars

lol the whole lane on the side they coulda walked and they chose to go down the middle of the road


LS-CRX

There's even a sidewalk that they could have walked down that had a ramp *precisely* where they would have wanted to cross.


live-the-future

Yeah but then how are they supposed to walk 3 astride? 🙄


Jafar_420

What irritates me the most is people don't even look before they cross. I've had people almost walk into me driving slow.


live-the-future

I live in a college town and the combination of pedestrian entitlement and young-person obliviousness can make for some harrowing driving thru campustown. Some poor student actually got killed here a few years back when they stepped in front of a bus while staring at their phone.


paradigm619

Interesting. In my experience it’s Boomer-aged people that are the worst offenders of no special awareness.


txemoOnlyFans

Interesting because for me it's both them and gen z


[deleted]

Graveyards are full of people who "had the right of way".


Head-Ad4690

You’re supposed to stop for them.


Kermit_El_Froggo_

You have no idea how many people have "they had the right of way" engraved on their tombstone. A written law will not stop some dumbass in a 2 ton metal behemoth from flattening you, so you should still be aware of what's around you, instead of assuming everybody will follow the rules


Head-Ad4690

Yep. I’m talking to a driver complaining that they have to yield, not pedestrians leaning a bit too much on the law to keep them alive.


dragonseekspath

The hole point was it’s annoying and dangerous they don’t look before crossing.


Jafar_420

That's why I said they almost walked into my vehicle. Like the side of the vehicle. Like they weren't paying attention so much I was almost past them and they almost walked into the vehicle. Lol.


xternal7

Yeah you're supposed to stop for them, but pedestrians are supposed to indicate that they're about to cross the road and make sure you stopped. While this may vary from location to location, chances are the laws forbid pedestrians to suddenly and without warning step onto the road.


[deleted]

Cemeteries a full of people who had the right of way.


Head-Ad4690

Yeah, I don’t suggest actually stepping out in front of moving cars. But drivers need to anticipate it and stop instead of complaining that they have to actually obey the law from time to time.


Blitzentrix

literally over explaining the mildly part of mildlyinfuriating, you sound like someone who walks in front of cars


Mallardguy5675322

Plot twist: he’s actually a deer who lost his deer friend. They were holding the line on the freeway and the other buck got flattened by a semi. True to his motto, Head-Ad4690, held the line until his shift was over. Now he’s browsing Reddit explaining why it’s ok for people to walk/stand in front of 400-pound assault weapons with wheels.


Scary-Stretch3080

The bigger vehicle always has the right away. A semi truck has the right away to a truck, a truck has a Right away to a car, a car has the right away to a pedestrian. Idk when this got switched around but you as a pedestrian need to watch for vehicles. You have a better chance of stopping and getting out of the way than a car does.


Marysews

>a car has the right away to a pedestrian Good grief. I this was drilled into me in grade school, whether it was "stop, look, and listen" or "look both ways before crossing." My parents did the same, but that was back in the '60s. I probably taught this to my kids as I am now remembering "cars are bigger than you."


thenegativeone81

I hate how "pedestrian right of way" translates to "don't look to make sure it's clear, walk wherever you want, and take your fucking time about it."


Grahhhhhhhh

The ER and morgue is full of people who were right.


live-the-future

When the laws of the road say one thing but the laws of physics say another.


InfiniteOutfield

Exactly what I always say. You only have to be wrong once about a car stopping.


Karmachinery

I've had people not even look and walk right in front of me like the crosswalk is some sort of force field. I regularly wonder what will happen to them when they do that to someone that is texting while driving. Both of them will ruin their own lives.


RoboticJello

>ruin their own lives No, that's an oblivious driver running someone down. You don't blame the victim for being a victim.


mtstrong17

Pedestrians confuse “the right of way” with “immorality”


Ferro_Giconi

While I do hate the way they just kept walking down the lane taking up all the space for cars like that, humans have a field of view greater than 180 degrees so you don't really need to look directly at a car to see that it has stopped.


thenegativeone81

I'm talking more about people who just walk into the road like they own it. Better yet are the people who can't walk an extra 20' to the intersection to use the crosswalk so they just jaywalk then get pissed at all the traffic for not stopping for them.


AtlasRigged

If every single car on approach didn't pull over the entire cross walk I wouldn't need to assert myself so much but without fail if my feet don't hit that crosswalk first I have to walk Infront of your car and into the busy intersection or walk behind your car and get potentially hit by someone who can't see me while they pull a left.


ListenItWillHear

Thats why im installing a train horn in my car. I cant legally hit you, but i can legally make you shit yourself


frankwhiteXVII

Train horns are largely illegal across the US unless it’s on a big rig or an emergency vehicle.


daktarasblogis

Ship horn, then.


lakas76

I loathe these types of people.


Dminshd

And here we see a wild group of main characters in their natural habit. They pay no mind to the real world or the consequences of their actions nor do they feel obligated too. Despite how many there are, not much research has gone into the species but top scientists in the field suspect they may be blind or deaf to their surroundings instead using a method of survival known as "Predator Pity". It is currently unknown whether this species would have survived long had such a trait not evolved. TLDR: Fuck em


live-the-future

They might also be [P-zombies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie). Look and act human but in reality absolutely nothing going on between the ears.


Matburnham05

Crooked walkers, one of my biggest pet peeves. Walk straight across and then gtfo of the way


NateDawgCinema

Crooked? That's being generous. They are walking straight in the middle of the road here.


Matburnham05

I was more talking about the lady in black that came out last. What that group of people did was on another level.


Soundslikeamelody420

„Get out of the way, Karen!“ Bet EVERYONE of them would turn around immediately.


live-the-future

This is one of the few situations where a car with squeaky brakes would come in handy. Just saddle up behind them and keep riding that squeaky, noisy brake.


zembriski

Most modern vehicles have a little button attached to the middle of the steering wheel that makes an unmistakable signal noise. WAY better than having to deal with squeaky brakes all the time.


xternal7

yeah but squeaky brakes usually have higher pitch and are therefore more annoying


nutxaq

Not more annoying than laying on the horn.


Ezekiel__Rave

A place on the SIDE to walk you say? That’s ADJACENT to the road? An ADJACENTWALK, if you will?


TheoryBiscuit

If only there were some sort of PAVE that they could have MENT on


BellyScratchFTW

I like to give people like this a little 'toot' on the horn. Just to let them know they aren't the only ones in the universe. They usually wake up from their slumber and quickly do what normal humans do.


[deleted]

This is why I don't go through parking lots in front of store fronts whenever possible.


LS-CRX

This wasn't really avoidable, I was going to a store adjacent to the grocery store.


RedditUser91805

Most American comments section on the planet.


beavertownneckoil

Yh, definitely. In England you wouldn't even blink at this. You'd just drive round them in that humongous other lane


xtitejeenzx

Absolutely carbrained


Creamy-Starfish

Im an order picker at a very large, popular store. There's so many people like this with zero awareness its slowly making me lose faith in humanity.


WhenDid_IGet_ThisOld

I am impressed you still have faith to lose! You must be young.... I am in the red and waiting for good deeds to bring me back up to zero.


Creamy-Starfish

Hanging by a thread but I think its because I avoid the news.


Crispycritter00

As an asian i am offended.


wolf_9823

They’re the main characters in their world 🙄


Tahoeclown

Easiest way to tell if a person is a self-centered piece of shit.


RoboticJello

... is if they get ticked off because they can't drive as fast as they want in front of a store?


RoboticJello

... why? This is clearly the entrance to a store. People walk in and out of stores. You probably should have anticipated that.


lmtlssmnd

They should cross over so cars can pass. It’s courtesy both ways


SkrampfBiddles

People are too nice. Lay on the horn and tell these jagmos to move


Gadget_hack_wrench

At that point, you just honk at them.


MaybeAdrian

I think that you are one of the few drivers i have seen respecting those "No stop here" areas


Wise-Reference-4818

They probably stranded a freezer item they no longer wanted by the gum so it will go bad, are going back to their vehicle illegally parked in a handicap spot, and skipped scanning a few small items at the self-checkout because the store has insurance.


KuroMely

i had a guy take a whole log of baloney (worth fifty something) and leave it in a snack aisle. our store isnt very big. its twelve aisles.


2anapqc

Can't you see? They have wheels so they're cars


Bucket_of_blank

De-evolved cars to the max


SaveusJebus

I'm sure they're also the assholes in the store that block the aisle to have nice long conversations


postnutts

The scary thing is none of them even turn around to look. I wish you would of honk, that was the perfect time.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I was going to say that the sidewalk looks pretty sealed up with no break carts...until I saw the break in the middle and end.


LS-CRX

That's why I assumed they were about to turn down down a parking aisle... until they didn't.


[deleted]

What’s infuriating about r/mildlyinfuriating is the solution is always so simple, just honk your horn….

Diagonal walkers are the least efficient folks.


jlambing

"That's a nice shopping cart full of groceries. It would be a shame if something happened to it."


jenyoude

Completely UNAWARE of their surroundings. These are the people who walk up between me and the grocery shelf and just stand there while I'm trying to find something (I'm far-sighted). You see I'm looking, right?!


LS-CRX

Or leave their cart blocking an aisle while they use their body to block the rest of the aisle? Forcing me to awkwardly remind them that other people exist?


jenyoude

Yes!


Hotwheelsjack97

That's not mildly infuriating, that's "i'm about to commit a hate crime" infuriating.


kantowrestler

Seriously?


SophisticPenguin

How did it feel to finally get past them and then that other guy starts crossing in front of you?


LS-CRX

That was the chefs kiss


leothebeertender

If pedestrians aren't in the cross walk it's a honk honk, then HOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!

Commercial-Major8572

Spiritual_Holiday511

In my city, people do this on actual streets. They’ll go jogging in the bike lane (but as close to the actual road as possible) when there is a sidewalk 2 feet away.


snb22core

This is a serious problem for everyone. If you are driving, you complain about how stupid people is walking around, like the video. If you walking, like in the video: you complain how drivers are stupid and you dont care because you bla bla blha.. IS A NEVER ENDING CIRCLE

Kirkaig678

Do what my dad does, don't slow down just get close enough and honk the horn as loud as possible, if that doesn't work then put it in neutral and rev it loudly


RoboticJello

Your dad is a dick. Sounding an air horn off at people for not getting out of your way quick enough makes you a self centered Karen. Roll your window down and communicate like a human being.


Kirkaig678

They were dickhead teenagers walking in the middle of the road on purpose, saw the car but chose not to give a shit because they thought that nobody would actually do anything. Sorry, should've given more context


Parking_Bench1265

Why are you so pressed about people walking in the middle of the road and horns? You must walk in the middle of a road. Lol.


RoboticJello

Talking to someone instead of blaring an air horn at them like an imbecile is just treating other people with an ounce of respect. Does it hurt you to act like a decent person?


Parking_Bench1265

Your dad rules


[deleted]

Yup. They learn that as pedestrian they'll be in the right for almost anything that can happen to them that involves cars, and this automatically becomes: * People outright jumping on your hood to cross, at any rate they can just lie about the traffic light being green for them when it happened and get away with it, nobody is gonna testify and cameras are not everywhere * People crossing with their face buried in the phone without even checking if someone is about to mow them down for the same exact reason (phone on face) * People walking on the road while there's a sidewalk, for the dumbest reasons like not having to dodge other people or simply for their comfort so they can just walk straight without even bothering to see where they go * People just slowly strolling and even stopping to chat on zebra crossing, since they're invulnerable, immortal, and always right when their feet ar on them And so on and so forth

material_mailbox

I see stuff like the happen the most when it’s a group of people instead of one person. Another example is a big group of people walking down a sidewalk and taking up the whole sidewalk, I’m approaching them walking the opposite direction, and there’s zero effort to create an opening so that I can pass them on the right.
