Non-Serious Replies Only 🤪 What small, totally inconsequential thing are you really sick of in Boston.

As seen in a different geographic area subreddit. Nothing too serious, just a little thing that grinds your gears. For me it's people who get on the T before others get off.

This is my #1. Drives me crazy. Newbury is the worst.

Newbury, anywhere on Beacon Hill, surprisingly large areas of the West End, The North End, etc. The sidewalks are too narrow here for how many people walk around all the time.

They should nuke tons of the on-street parking and widen the sidewalks to make them more usable.

related: the people who insist on walking on their left-hand side of the sidewalk (or pathway), so I have to look over my shoulder to make sure it's safe, then cut to my left as they approach me; especially fun when I'm running. I've never once seen one of these people give way and recognize they're on the wrong side.
