And I hate when someone lets the dick cut in. They're almost as bad as the one who cuts.

I do that a lot. I will often walk around a whole block if that happens. I hate it 🙁

Same here. I do this more often than I'd like to admit. Spot on regarding checking watch and the muttering before turning around..
