Litmus tests

If you don't use turn signals changing lanes on the highway, you are a bad driver, period.
 
I joined Instagram 2 weeks ago. I followed my brother's girlfriend, she "accepted", but didn't bother to follow me back. Add this to the reasons why she's an ass.

Poor spelling, grammar and word choice.

Yeah, it's tough for me to take a ranter's stance on something as complex as economics or healthcare seriously when they can't grasp the concept of "their", "they're" and "there". Just look it up once man. It takes like 10 minutes to master. Same thing with spelling. Typos are ok, they happen. But if you can't take 3 seconds to google a word and its spelling, then I doubt you did the research necessary to understand climate change.

Creamy stays dead silent through the entire round. Want to casually converse as we approach the tee shot? Nah!

This is more pet peeve, but people who obviously suck at golf but love tossing out swing tips to people after they hit. Dude you just sliced 30 yards OB STFU.

i assumed me meant people who comment on their own shot
 
If you go to the self check out at the grocery store with a basket full of shit and take forever, while the regular check out lanes are open with paid employees at the ready, while I’m waiting with my two items, this is a litmus test that you are selfish and have no self awareness.

Especially if you’re accompanied by a shit ton of coupons.

This grinds my gears.

All-in couponing (with binders and sheet protectors) speaks volumes.

I completely agree... My caveat to this, however, is that if I'm at the grocery store with my 5 year old, you can bet your ass she's going to want us to use self-checkout.

I'm sure it is really annoying for anyone behind us... But if she wants to scan stuff, I'm going to let her scan stuff.
 
As a parent i would not be bothered waiting behind a young kid "helping out." Now if you whip out a check book to pay...

No doubt. I’m fine with a little kid doing it as a learning/fun moment. The parent in that situation also helps speed things along.

This happened at lunch time so it’s fresh. I walked up to the self check out and three different older women took up four spots with carts filled to the brim, taking their time, and asking the young customer service guy there for help every 5 scans when they could get that same and faster assistance at a regular check out line. Maddening. The rule should always be of you have a lot of shit, you’re disqualified from self check out. If you chose to violate said rule, that’s a strong litmus test for being a self important twit.
 
one litmus test I have re: someone's intelligence is whether or not they know what a litmus test is
 
another litmus test for intelligence I have is whether or not you know how to use over/under correctly

people who say "what's the over/under" when they really mean "how many" do not pass the test

I just don't want to hear "good shot", "ooo tough luck" "look like you took your eye off the ball" "that's a golf shot""Greens are slow, put a little gas in it" ...I just don't wanna hear something after every shot.

JFC...This has lead me to not playing golf with a handful of people. Sure, if you shoot mid-70s, give my hacker self some pointers if I ask. Otherwise, STFU and just play .

Not for nothing, but I think it would help you out if you'd just keep your eye on the ball.
 
If any product uses the word "craft" or any form thereof (craft ____, crafted, hand-crafted, crafting) in its product description or advertising, I assume it sucks and will not buy it.

Similarly, any person who uses the phrase "work on his craft", "hone his craft", etc. unless talking about sewing or paper mache is a goddamn moron not worthy of my attention.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but setting an exact number is exactly how an over/under works. They'd be setting the line and it's on the other party to bet over or under, no?

My dad says shit like, "that's not what you were looking for" or "that'll be a tough out", after pretty much every shot I duff. To be fair, he also gets way too enthusiastic after my good shots as well. And he can't really see as he is getting older, so he inevitably yells "bite" if I hit one short, or "run, ball" if I crush one over the green. He also asks the distance before every single one of his shots, and then disagrees with what my brother and I tell him about the distance. I love my father, but playing golf with him makes me seriously consider patricide.

I mean people who say "over/under on how many hotdogs you could eat in one sitting?" when they're just asking how many hotdogs they think the other person could eat

as opposed to "over/under 7.5 hotdogs in one sitting?"
