When perfectly able people point to shit vaguely instead of saying what they want. This is doubly annoying because at my job, they don't seem to realize that there is a long strip of metal over the entire countertop, and they think I can just magically see through it to see what they're pointing to through the glass on the other side.
NO. Metal is not a fucking window, people, and when I ask you to clarify what you want, even going as far as to list the couple of very simple choices you have, for fuck's sake, could you please, please say the actual word and not just point again like a goddamned moron? This isn't helping anyone.
The most annoying instance of pointing is when I'm driving. Instead of saying, "Turn left at the stop sign," my passenger (most often my mother, because she fucking sucks with describing things accurately) will say, "Turn there," and gesture at a road somewhere in the distance, as if I am actively watching every move my passenger makes in case of random gestures. It's even better when they give your position (or intended position) in relation to another moving object - like another car - on the road. Instead of picking any stationary building or sign, they feel the need to tell you to, "Take the road where that red car turned," because I was totally, definitely, abso-fuckin'-lutely paying attention to where every other car was going on the road five streets away. You couldn't tell me to turn at the giant, obvious Burger King sign or anything logical like that.
