I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

Public trash cans right next to public benches.

I don’t want to sit next to a smelly trash can! Why do they do this?

Oxygen. That shit causes too much rust. And spoils my chips.

People who pull out of parking lots onto roads without stopping. Pedestrian deaths are on a steep incline and this recent behavior is absurdly impatient and unsafe.

If I were a traffic cop, I would go fucking nuclear on this shit. I would exaggerate the fuck out of those tickets. I'd aim for you to never have a driver's license again.

Same with people who don't properly use passing lanes, and same for people who tailgate.

All of you are fucking ridiculous, and I hope you lose your privilege to drive an automobile over something small so it makes you as irrationally angry as your behaviors make me.

Just to add, you should never have less than 1 full car length per 10mph you're traveling between you and the car in front of you. Generally it should be like, double that.

Postman must knock and wait 5 minutes for you to answer the door by law. If you have proof that they didn't knock or wait the required time they must redeliver the parcel by way of barbershop quartet at a time that is convenient for you.

I'd much rather ban home delivery for most parcel (stuff like couches and fridges excluded) and have them put in one of those package vaults.

The postman drives all the packages to the vault, chucks them in, you pick them up when you've got time (they work 24/7), everyone wins.

Mass produced Knick knacks. Those useless ornaments that just seem to accumulate on bookshelves, fireplaces and cabinets.
