adhocfungus@midwest.social 1 month agoI’ve never understood this either. If someone is holding things in their arms it’s helpful, but if they have a cart then nothing is really gained. I can easily fill the conveyor belt by the time the person in front of me finishes paying. So getting started early feels like I am crowding them for no reason. Like flooring it between red lights; you’re just wasting energy to wait anyway.

I agreed with you 100% up to the end.
There are few things in driving more irritating than some asshole coasting at 10 mph to a light when you want to turn before the light. You should accelerate and drive at a normal speed between red lights if there are other humans around you because you are not the main character. You don’t need to floor it but you should still drive to the light. I also experience this regularly as a pedestrian…either fucking stop and let me jaywalk or fucking go and let me jaywalk, coasting fucks over everyone around you.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
