All the people typing "loose" when they mean "lose". Shit's been happening a lot for the past year or two and I don't know why.
Extraneous apostrophe’s

The 'brands' they are displaying.
I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?
But for me, it's not judging them like you think.
I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and 'fit in', and a likely 'keep up with the Jones' jealous type.
So, I actually feel sad for them.
And, yes, I am aware it's super judgemental and I'm no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.

If they finish their food. I don't like seeing food go to waste.
Nosing (instead of reversing) into a parking spot. You always pick the conditions of your arrival, but not always your departure. Also, reversing into traffic is ridiculous and illegal in some places. Parking nose-first is dangerous and lazy.
Found the German.
Parallel parking, or angled parking?
Look, I'm sorry, but eating fast food. Have some self respect.
I don't mind when people eat fast food, but I do get annoyed when people brag about eating fast food.
Especially now that prices have inflated so it's no longer corporate factory machine cheap.
There are so many random food places even in the most rundown parts of a city that have both much better quality and bang for buck.
I'd even argue you're not getting an authentic philly cheese if you get it from a place that's not in the ghetto or has been advertised online in any capacity. And the funny thing is the real one is usually cheaper too.
I'm sorry, but a Baja Blast guy and sometimes I don't know what to Mountain Dew.
When I was at my lowest I spent close to $3000 on McDonald's in 2 months. Just went through all my savings eating fast food multiple times a day. Now it's hard for me to even eat it
I have a stark reminder of the worst period in my life where I did the same. The "account performance" chart in an investment of mine showed steady growth and monthly inputs, then there's a cliff, and over a period of a few months, it's completely emptied. Thousands, easily. And the vast majority was fast food and liquor
Everything.
I judge anyone who misses the letter G out when they say the word "recognise".
Leaving things they decided they don't want just wherever in a store. It's annoying as a customer, because now I have to dig through their mess to get the product I actually wanted, and even moreso as an employee.
At least put it back in the right department. The underpaid employees who have been there since before the store opened for the day really don't want to have to play the game of "How long has this ground beef been sitting in a produce basket, and how much product did we just lose?"
I remember a story of a guy talking about how the store reeked and smelled terrible. After doing tons of searching at the epicenter of the smell, turns out some guy hid a 5 pound beef brisket on the bottom shelf, hidden behind a bunch of breakfast cereal.
You can and will find terrifying things working in grocery.
I once found a pack of beef jerky that had become 90% mold. It was tucked all the way towards the back of the shelves, partially shoved into the crack between two of them. We had no clue how long it had been sitting back there, because jerky rarely needed a full teardown.
Dear lord. Please tell us more!
People typing whatever is the latest fad, such as "rn', " tbh", etc.

No-one has ever been able to tell me what they do with all that time that they saved with the abbreviations.

If you cannot chew with your mouth closed and you are older than 6 years, you should not be allowed to vote, operate heavy machinery or have children.
There are people who have a genuine problem breathing fully through their nose though.
Take smaller bites.
I admire your commitment to this. I’m onboard. Fuck em, take smaller bites.
Or use cutlery properly.

Up-voted for the apposite Satre ref.
stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
That's my new pet peeve. The thing is I don't remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone's brains way more than we realize.
Someone stopped in front of me… on an offramp. Luckily there was nobody behind me to hit me, but that’s an insane place to stop. No hazard lights, no indication. Just stopped.
People being shitty to customer service workers and utility, and people not being courteous to them.
Heck, I sometimes judge people for not thanking service workers and utility. For example: if a janitor lets you pass a hallway they've been busy cleaning, I'd silently judge you if you don't thank the janitor for letting you pass. Another example is in a fast food setting: if the person on the counter gives you your order, I'd silently judge you if you don't say "thank you".
