porterhouse 0 #1 September 8, 2006 What stupid things do you encounter that make you insane? Here's mine: Why do stores always put the slowest f*cking checkout cashier on the EXPRESS register????? This just happened to me!!! I would have gotten out of the store faster if I got in line behind the white haired old lady with a full cart, who counts coupons, and pays with food stamps and penny's!!! WTF!!!! What makes you crazy!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #3 September 8, 2006 Apparantly much like in a call centre the staff are monitored for the average amount of customers they can get through in a n hour, or average time taken, they take time on the express tills now and again to help reduce their time so I suppose its not unusual that they put one of the slow people on their to try and fiddle their stats.

Richards 0 #4 September 8, 2006 People who stop in the doorway of a store to decide where they are going to go. Clear the door! People who stop at the bottom/top of an escalator to decide wher to go next. Fucking move! Why do coffe shops not have a "Just Coffee" express line?I bet more than half of the people at Tim hortons or starbucks only want a coffee and yet the lines are always slow because the staff are preoccupied with food orders, double non-fat goat milk cinnamon lattes...etc. If you had a line that said "just coffee" I am sure they could cut down on the fucking line-ups! CELL_PHONES!!!!!!! I fucking hate those incessant noisemakers and I hate peope who show no consideration to others whe using them in classrooms, restaurents, movie theatres...etc! Winter! I hate winter!! It's too fucking cold! Ive complained endlessly about this problem yet no one has done anything about it! Have a lovely day, Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

FrancoR 0 #10 September 9, 2006 4 way stops What's the point with these 4 way stops, just makes everybody stop use Yield signs and general trafic rules. The US must have the most Stop signs in the world, europe can live with a lot less, why can't you? FrancoIf it does not cost anything you are the product.

StreetScooby 5 #16 September 9, 2006 These are my NYC gripes: 1) Fat people who weave as they walk up the stairs. It's difficult enough getting around your fat ass without having to judge your sideways rythym, too. 2) Ladies who wait until they're IN THE SUBWAY STALL to dig in their purse to find their subway pass. EXCUSE ME! I have some place to be! Go to the side and dig in your purse, PLEASE! Thanks. I needed that.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grr! thats a new pet peeve of mine b/c my husband backed his truck out of a parking space in our apt complex and hit a guys truck who was parked 1/2 in a no parking zone and 1/2 in a fire lane but yet hes harassing us about our insurance.We gave it to him even though we told him he was illegally parked,which he lashed back saying "well the courtesy officer didnt say anything!" and he didnt file a police report immediately after the accident.So the pics we took of his truck illegally parked and showing all the damages plus a letter from the apt manager saying its a no parking zone are going to our insurance company.Thats a no parking zone b/c the 4 spaces where my husband parked cant back out if someone parks where that asshole parked.It happened yesterday morning and he is STILL parked in the exact same spot at this very moment.Grrrr! fucker! Aside from that my biggest pet peeve is loud noisey misbehaving kids in public.I'd much rather have a "kids" and "no kids" section in restaurants than a smoking/non-smoking sections.Same goes for assholes on cellphones.

cocheese 0 #18 September 9, 2006 So like, if i was standing in a no parking zone, your husband would have run me over? Sounds like he backed out in an unsafe manner if he's hittin parked cars. Did i miss something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #19 September 9, 2006 No, he was trying to squeeze his truck out of his parking space and thought he had more room than he really did between his truck/the other guys truck.He wasnt intentionally trying to hit it.Hence the reason they are called "accidents". But the reason that is a no parking zone is b/c you cannot see cars parked in that spot properly if youre parked where my husband was parked AND you cannot get you car out of your parking spot with someone parked parallel right behind you.The guy was parked parallel up against the sidewalk whilst my husband was in an actual vertical space across from him.You can barely squeeze a car through there when you dont have someone parked parallel behind you(and it is supposed to be a on way sidestreet so hes impeeding traffic).From the witnesses that gave statements they said my husband did like a 20 point back up and pull in turn trying to maneuver his truck out but he still dinged the guys door. So no my husband isnt an unsafe driver. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #20 September 9, 2006 Thanks, Jeff...you focker. You got me started... 1. Idiots who park in the handicapped spaces needlessly. I've confronted many more than one about this all-about-me shit. 2. Too freakin' many stoplights. We all missed our calling by not going into stoplight sales. There's enough money in it to feed Ethiopia and 3/4 of the rest of Africa. 3. Smokers who throw their butts on the ground. 4. Litterbugs. Especially the ones standing within mere feet of a trash can and still throw shit on the ground. 5. The rocket science of getting a fast-food order correct. I know McDonald's supports mental health in children but shouldn't there be some limit on how stupid order-fillers can be? 6. Skygod mentality...do you know a DZI? Again...thanks, Jeff. Start my day off right why don't ya? My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

ntrprnr 0 #22 September 9, 2006 Cell phone conversations in elevators that go like this: "I might lose you. I'm getting in an elevator." "Hello? Can you... OK. So, yeah, I was... What? Hello? HELLO? I'M IN AN ELEVATOR. CAN YOU..." "Oh, I guess I lost him." Takes much effort not to kill._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

moodyskydiver 0 #23 September 9, 2006 Quotea safer way would be to gather up some guys and flip that truck out of the way by hand. I love to teach people lessons. Hehehe! Well, we didnt have that many friends (you'd need a good bunch as it was a 1/2ton puckup)on hand on that short notice.Most of our friends were doing the same thing my husband was TRYING to do at the time...go to work! What really pisses me off is that even though I told the guy nicely that he was illegally parked when he came by to get our insurance (couldnt locate him when it happened so we gave him our apt # and times we'd be there and told the apt management and courtesy officer.)he got real shitty with me,said he was parked just fine and that we were still gonna pay even though I pointed out the lines on the street and he is STILL parked there now 3 days later. Even the management is pissed and left a final violation/towing notice on it.Yeah, and you know I've got it ALL on camera:the notice on the truck,and all the "no parking" and "fire lane" stuff painted on the sidewalk/street with his truck right in the middle of it from all angles.Plus a letter from management and courtesy officer saying hes illegally parked and a map of the parking areas at the complex clearly showing the no parking and fire lanes hes happily parked in. You wanna get pissy with me,thats fine.I'll pull every resource I know to back us up infront of the insurance claims dept.I wasn't a Criminal Justice major for nothing.If he had just kept his mouth shut and not gotten pissy things would have been fine. New pet peeve:I hate assholes! Next time we'll just get some guys/equipment together and wedge his truck between the mail boxes.Hows that for some friggin' parallel parking.(I'd never really do it but its good for venting atleast LOL!)
