It always annoys me

[UConNation]

People. I took some time off during Christmas through New Year this year, and after 6.5 years of marriage, including a few more years of dating, and 2 children later, that week and half of time at home with my wife helped her realize that I, generally speaking, don't like other adults. It's not that I'm not a compassionate person; I work with kids on a regular basis in my off time, but stupid people really annoy me, and that unfortunately encompasses most people.

I think there was a Star Trek episode that dealt with this problem.

How about people that count out exact change at the register? It actually makes it harder for the cashier and pisses off everyone behind you.

You wouldn't have enjoyed my Uncle Kelvin. Every year at Christmas, he'd have all of us kids (my siblings, my cousins, me - there were 18 in all) line up by the tree and he'd dole out one penny per year of age for everyone. He was one of those eccentric super wealthy miser types. He'd have a plastic grocery bag filled with pennies and would slowly count them out, one by one, as they were handed to us. He wanted to make damn sure nobody got an extra penny. He's changed his ways a bit though. Now that he's a grandfather, his grandkids each get a full dollar on Christmas. They must really be able to paint the town red the next day.

It always annoys me when driving you wave another car into traffic in front of you or let them take a left in front of you and then they don't wave to say thanks or acknowledge you at all. I am noticing this more and more.

It always annoys me....when I check my mail.

I have everything sent to me online. Bills, tax statements, etc. The only thing that ever gets delivered to my mailbox is junk. I check my mail maybe once a week and it's those big bulky "newspaper" coupon circulars, postcard ads from Bed Bath and Beyond, the neighborhood rag that advertises unlicensed handyman jobs or polish cleaning ladies and nothing useful. I literally throw 99.5% of all my mail right into the recycle bin.

I get one magazine, Game Informer, sent to me in paper form just so I have something to look forward to in the mail. Im decidedly old school about how my video game news is delivered.

Newark International is worse than death.

Philly is worse than Newark.

Carrying around $2.38 in change.

Change in Canada. The toonie and the loonie. Dumb names... I only spend paper money here do the same thing there.. end up with a fair amount in cash when I come home. Of course I wouldn't have taken that money out to begin with...



Everyone pays with change in Canada.

Not in Canada enough to care about the loonie (nicknamed because of the bird on the coin) or the toonie (two dollar coin and a play off loonie, because it rhymes.).

I hate having an over abundance of metal change in my pocket, and if it annoys whoever might be behind me in line for another 8 1/2 seconds, so be it.

Philly is worse than Newark.

Of all the business travel I've done in a 22 year career, I've been stranded in an airport twice. Both in Philly.

Having grown up in Canada I can verify that this is 100% true.

I use funky looking foreign coinage as ball markers for golf.

The checkout lane at the grocery store is raw unfiltered hell. I hate every thing about. The 5% chance of a cute cashier can't save it. THEN Just when you think you're done you have to lug the crap in the house and put it away. 1st world problems I know.

This thread reminds me of the thread a couple months ago "dumb things you're bad at" or whatever. I have a new one: tucking in a dress shirt. Always looks bunched up and always comes undone. I'm not the skinniest guy but far from the fattest so I don't think it's a weight thing. Very frustrating.

You gotta buy tailored/slim fit shirts or anything tailored. Your shirt is likely a size or two too baggy.
