Was thinking as I surveyed the terrible amount of litter in the tunnels under the runway at Manchester airport that I had no idea who dumps cans, bottles, cups and plastic bags but they are probably tts. Some will be accidental or blown/rooted out of bins but probably most is just dropped by tts.

Saw someone drive off and leave their trolley in the Sainsburys car park, Range Rover SVR, nice car but that one action made me think that the chap was probably on the tt Spectrum.

Lifted the backrest on a weight bench to change its angle at the gym (Pre Covid) and hit a big wet clod of chewing gum, no other explanation other that massive mega tt with bells on.

So, what other acts do you see day to day that make you think "That person is probably a tt" ? A bit of a check if I doing stuff that qualifies me as a tt as well smile

Use any other word, but I like tt, its very satisfying to say and is rude enough without having to go full C bomb.

Suppose its a bit like the "One thing that makes you think knob" thread in GG but not driving specific.

I’ve run there (the runway tunnel) a few times. The foot tunnel part was usually fairly devoid of anything tbh.

Maybe there’s less cleaning going on at the moment?

People picking something up in A supermarket, later deciding they don’t want it and dumping it in a random spot, extra tt points if it’s a refrigerated item and they’ve dumped it on a random unrefrigerated shelf.

People wearing polo shirts with the collar up.

People who stop and chat to each other on the pavement, blocking it and expecting everyone else to manoeuvre around them. I'm sure other people are happy to step into the road of squeeze past just so you can indulge in your meaningless chitter chatter... T&$ts....

Or congregate in shop doorways to have a chat, rather than getting out of the way. Both of those are much more annoying in "these challenging times" because you can't make a point of trying to squeeze through the tiny gap. Same at the moment for those who walk slowly along the centre of a supermarket aisle, ensuring that it's not possible for me to pass them with the required distancing, so I have to walk suspiciously slowly behind them. I lack the ability to explain what they're doing wrong in a tone of voice that doesn't sound angry, so I keep quiet.

The litter thing is annoying. There are various volunteer litter-picking groups around locally, and I'd happily join in to make the place look a bit tidier (it's not bad, really) but I know that somewhere, someone is thinking "well, I don't need to find a bin for my stuff, I can just throw it on the floor and these volunteers will come around and tidy up after me." I like to think most of it is accidental, but it isn't, it's just selfish people.

Drivers going straight on from a right only lane.
Extra tt points if they have to jink round a normal person turning right from the opposite direction.
Presumably at some point there will be a massive head on when two lane-tts collide.

Yes. People who walk out of a shop then stop one or two paces later because the thought "where am I going next" can't enter their head until "now leave shop" has left it.

And will only wear certain brands, so that they are seen to be up with the fashion. Despite being over 40 yrs of age, still living at home and sponging off mummy and having no teeth in their head.

People who dawdle in shopping alias, blocking the whole lane whilst they trying to pick do they want salted butter or unsalted (or other such crap).

Normally it would be fine but with COVID etc its just plan ignorance. ttS

People who say "I'm not being funny but..."

People who say "permission to speak freely..." and then take the polite "of course" as licence to be wholly offensive.

And everyone working in media, marketing, or sales, or who drives a tipper lorry.

People who walk in groups, taking up the entire path, and have their dogs on long leads meaning you have to run through boggy, muddy grass to pass them. tts.

People who don't stop at Zebra crossings, usually because they're not paying attention to a pedestrian waiting. tts.

People who slow down for oncoming cars on a perfectly normal two-lane road because it's dark. Uber-tts

When someone does that to me and I'm in the straight only lane, I will be a bigger tt and floor it to block them. They 99.9999% of the time know EXACTLY what they are doing and think they are more important than others and have a right to get ahead.

So I will happily slam the door on them blocking their path. If they smash into me its their fault for illegally being in the position they are.

People who hock up their throat then spit the contents of their nose / lungs onto the floor / out of their car window.

A close second are people who sit on their phone at a red traffic light then dont notice its gone green, they then pull off just as it changes back to red and wave and I am left there wondering what happened to my life, hopes and dreams etc...

Contrary to the above, people who don’t understand the merge in turn rule, at merging lanes. They’re tts!

I had a woman tut at me when I gently moved her trolley which was parked across the aisle, was in no mood for that so I just said "Maybe if you didnt park it across the whole aisle I wouldnt need to move it"

Another one in Marks and Spencer which is full of rich old ladies, was on a mission and went through a gap with space to spare and a heavy trolley, her ample personage moved her trolley which was stuck out when she reached for something and pushed it into my path and I just caught it and it made a noise, she made a pathetic "OOOhhh" noise, I apologised and she just made the same tremulous, ridiculous noise.

I think age is partly and excuse, but some folk are in a daze, zero spatial awareness and no thought for anyone but themselves, I am a bit the other way and am perhaps too bothered about not getting in the way.
