Cigarette Butts discarded in public places. Really ticks me off smokers who flick butt out car window. I'd love to have super soaker with some odorous fluid in it, pull up to the person and douse them.

Did that, $100 road rage fine.
We just happen to be coming up to pass them, I was going 7 over. Small soaker on back floor from grandson party.

One is when drivers pull out in front of you on a two-lane road, even though there is clearly no one behind you or coming from the opposite direction, only to then slow down or stop to turn at the very next intersection. This happens more often than I would expect, and it perplexes me. I understand the need to pull out in busy traffic or when visibility is limited, but it is bothersome when it happens unnecessarily.

They go from pulling a bank job to getting in line for a funeral procession.

People who immediately stand up when the plane lands and block the aisle. People who complain about ISU wearing all white or all black uniforms. People who drive under the speed limit.
Thanks for bringing up the standing up on a plane thing. So irritating. Where do these people think they’re going? Have they never flown before?

Hipsters. Always acting like they are better because they listen to bands you have never heard of and drink craft beer.

Agree... but I also don't like really fast golfers either. Sure... I always let faster players play through, but on a weekend when the course is packed full, it doesn't do any good to let them through.

Part of the reason I love golf beyond how great the game itself is... is that it's a good getaway from the rat race of everyday life... to get out in nature and enjoy some peace and quiet. I don't really care if I have to wait a few minutes to hit my shot and just enjoy the quiet and slowed down pace.

I can't imagine wanting to rush through a round of golf, not enjoying it, and getting right back to my hectic life again. Yuck.
Awareness is key. I'm probably the opposite of you - which is fine, not a right or wrong thing. I prefer teeing off at 6am and playing 18 holes in 2.5 hours but I don't have that expectation playing a public course on a Saturday afternoon. I think the biggest problem is new players all watching each other hit before starting their routine, seasoned players are already starting their routine while someone is hitting - then they hit right away. Doesn't seem like much but shaving those 30 seconds over 18 holes makes a massive difference.

Getting behind someone leaving a game or concert who stops and lets every car get in front of them in line.

That's brutal too.
I am going to go to more and more concerts at Vibrant as time goes on. Seems clean, looks great, and so far I've experienced good traffic flow.

Salt life decals on Iowa vehicles. Idk why because they probably travel a lot or even own homes elsewhere but that one gets me.

Seeing this decal on cars with Iowa plates also annoys me.
