Just got out off elevator in my building and a young woman was wearing $5 rubber thong sandals with a little Brazillian flag. It was lunch- so she wasn't about to change into her grown up shoes from her commute. I work in a very large investment bank in midtown manhattan. Amazing what women get away with regarding office dress.

OK, if I got off the elevator and there was a Brazillian woman wearing nothing but $5 rubber slippers, I doubt if I'd have noticed the slippers at all.

As a corollary to what Thebin said, no grown men should where sandals outside of the beach, pool or locker room.

It's funny when a person working in a large investment bank is amazed by what anyone gets away with.

Tourists who congregate on the stairs of Grand Central taking pictures and staring at the ceiling AT RUSH HOUR on a weekday.

People who do not react to the words "excuse me." At all.
I feel like about 70% of people don't move a muscle when you say "excuse me" clearly to them in an elevator or tight hallway space for example. As if I'm only begging their forgiveness for what is soon to be a too tight fly by. No pal, that wasn't a rhetorical flourish, in polite society you should know that I just asked you to get the F out of my way like a gentlemen. Twice. Still confused?

California drivers that speed up when you put your turn signal on only to slow down once you are boxed in.

That brings up another good one....people who slow down to make a turn well before they bother to put their blinker/turn signal on. It is a warning you are going to be slowing down...not an apology that you already did.

It is a warning you are going to be slowing down...not an apology that you already did. I consider it fortunate whenever anyone uses a turn signal at all. This is a pretty common one, but since we're on the subject of traffic, can we all take a moment to collectively spit at the jerkholes who cruise down an open or exit lane, then try to shove their way back into the high-traffic lane in front of everyone else at the last minute? Sorry, I know courtesy is a good thing on the road, and I usually do make as much room around me as possible for others (usually more for my own safety than for courtesy, to be honest and fair), but I would sooner root for Syracuse than let one of these dooshes cut in front of me.

The only good thing to come out of these situations is a silent bond formed among the citizens in traffic as they silently agree to drive bumper-to-bumper to block those people out.

Blatantly empty coffee cups and pizza boxes on every tv show ever. Even good ones. It is remarkably easy to tell when a paper cup is empty or full of hot liquid and actors don't even attempt to fake this part. Why they don't simply have a PA fill them with water?

Anyone who writes that article and makes no mention of our current VPOTUS should literally be shot.
