I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn't exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. Its a pointless thing, most people probably don't notice, but its wrong.

People who walk into a building and then just stop and stand in front of the door.

People who stop and chat in the grocery store, blocking the entire aisle.

People who pull out or merge into your lane right in front of you in traffic, slow down hella, and then immediately change lanes just to be first or save 0.3ms.

People with obnoxiously loud vehicles.

People.
