    My god I do not miss covering high school football. I love going to games when I'm not covering it bc of the weather and everything associated with it. But man did covering it ruin a great thing.

    Mostly NYC related:

    Slow walkers.

    Slow walkers who walk four-across on a sidewalk.

    Anyone who holds the subway door open.

    People who lay on the horn. Not a "beep beep" wake-up thing. Laying on the horn for 10 seconds.

    People who stand on the left side of a down escalator. That lane is for walking.

    Tourists.

    Trump. Anyone who lives in New York screamed that he was a two-bit con artist who is a fucking moron and does not give two shits about anyone but himself and lining his pockets. But the important voters didn't listen.

    Oh, and and slow golfers. Hit the ball. You're not that good to take that long.

    Also: people.

  3. People who throw their cigarette butts out the window, on the ground, in the grass, in the sewer drain, anywhere but the God Damn trash can. ....
    Drivers who ride in the left lane. And Ohio drivers, (This is largely the same group of people in my neck of the woods).

    The cigarette thing drives me nuts. Littering is littering, regardless of the size of the item. What a person does with his/her trash always tells you an awful lot about them.

    Grunt, when I went to NYC in January, I had a friend there, and I learned very quickly that walking fast in the city and walking fast elsewhere are completely different things. We walked so fast it was damn near like running. And stand to the right going up or down the escalator.

    See? It isn't so hard to comprehend. If you want to walk slow or play with your phone or ride rather than walk up an escalator, just stay to the right.

    Jordan Spieth just walked very slowly across the room, waggled 6 or 7 times, and kicked his cat.
    Like the person. Like the talent. Cannot stand to watch him play.
    If you paired him with Lee Trevino and Angel Cabrera, he would make them psychotic.

    This has probably been mentioned but the whole trend of taking pictures of the food you're eating.
