Yess! We've been talking about that... Would save a lot on water too. House sits on a double lot, and the grass-space is about 4 times the footprint of the house.

I'd love to reduce it to to 1/4 of what it is, adding a more functional BBQ space, possible in-ground tub, eating area....

^^ Yep.

Also, when people stand at the Redbox for 10 minutes trying to decide on a movie. Use the mobile app or the website and make your decision at home damnit. Those of us who aren't completely inconsiderate a-holes have already made our reservations online or know exactly what we want before we get there and you are wasting our time.

Holy shit. This I think is the best one. If I see someone at a redbox I usually just leave because I know it's going to take forever

I'm confused, so people that are going to waste 2-3 hours (or more) on a movie are annoyed wasting a few minutes in line to select a movie?

Uh oh watch out, it's the productivity police.

The fact that it's a movie you're trying to get isn't even the point. Say you're in line at an auto parts store. You already know the exact part number you need and you may have even called ahead and know they have it out waiting for you and you could be out of there in two minutes or less. But there's some person in line ahead of you that doesn't even know what make and model car they drive and they're droning on for 10 minutes trying to describe some problem with their car obviously not knowing what they're talking about. Are you telling me this wouldn't annoy you even a little bit when if that person had done any research at all ahead of time your time would not be wasted?

QFT. Married + no kids = Annoyed at people asking the same questions. Life isn't just about an endless cycle of humans procreating. Have some fun and don't expect all couples to pop out babies just because you did!!!!

Oh it doesn't end there. Is he your only child? Do you plan to have any more?...Although my favorite after the obligatory "Do you have any kids?" question...I'll mention my son, then they'll ask "Do you have any other kids?" Oh yeah! I forgot about my OTHER kids...thanks for the reminder!

I don't mean to keep harping on kids but... this happened to me tonight (for the millionth time) and I was reminded of it.

When parents/grandparents let their little toddlers walk around aimlessly-- showing no regard for anyone around them. Please take your kid to the park if you wanna let him lollygag. It's like you pause and smile...then after a moment, you try to politely move around them. But oh no. You go right, the kid jumbles over to the right (parents/grandparents follow). You dart to the left, the kid darts to the left (parents/grandparents follow).

Look around you people. Please pick the kid up and move along.
