“Points for me”

Yeah, that "holding open the door". I try not to, sometimes even succeed. 2. People (tourists) stopping dead on their tracks after stepping off the train, looking left, right, and up, being obviously confused what to do, and oblivious that people behind them in the queue just nearly crashed into them because of this. 3. Not understading what is noise pollution. Setting decibel limits for municipal buses (their airbrake pressure release and initial acceleration being worst noise sources) would be a logical step, now that air pollution is regulated. And commercial radio should be banned, because people think everyone in the workplace wants to listen commercials from Radio Nova or a local radio station with tracks straight outta Paskalista. 4. Commercials where people are literally ripping the product out of another's hands. It'd be nice for the seller if the product was that great, but chances are it isn't. 5. Americans who think there is an "European" policy, and it's what they assume the American liberals think. Just look at jumps of logic: first, a complete integration of Europe (something even the craziest EU-federalist wouldn't imagine), then making up the opinions of "Europe" based on their prejudices on American liberals. Case study: winter. You have to regularly put on the Captain Obvious suit as people have done in #59, #60 and #64. 6. Having to give a soundbite of what you study or work with, and then having to answer to stupid people's questions about single words you used in the soundbite. (I'm actually entitled to say "cure for cancer", even though one project I did was only tangentially related, but I think I'll have to stick to that. Everyone understands cancer.) 1.
