It always annoys me

And then she and the female cashier continue their conversation about nothing, completely oblivious to the growing check-out line.

CVSs are turning more and more into junk stores that happen to sell pharmaceuticals. They are dirty and disorganized.
 
You know how you're in the checkout line in the market and the person in front of you has a stupid .25 coupon that isn't accepted? So you stand around while they haggle with the cashier, then the cashier manager and then, finally, the store manager.

I hate that.

Speaking of check out lines I hate it when a lady is finished paying and takes 5 more minutes to put her money/card and receipt back in her pocketbook!

Hell yes. And even worse, at the ATM. You couldn't pull up a bit first before doing that?
 
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.

You should really get the Target card, man. There is a debit card version! 5% ain't chump change.

I wonder if people realize it's 5% all the time, on everything. Most of these things are x% off your initial purchase.

We had several feet here in Western Mass a couple years ago, and the snow was 1/2 way up my window. How are houses built in Tahoe to handle that much snow? Wrap around porches and steep pitched roofs?

Stilts. On many houses, the front door is 10' - 15' off the ground with a staircase leading up. When you have 8' snow on the ground, at least your door can open.

I got a PO Box, thinking I'd be good checking a couple times a week, not having to worry about leaving something important in my mailbox.

Nope. In fact I was chastised for not checking it daily because it filled up in a day or two. Just about every piece was junk mail.

I asked them to only give me what is addressed to me directly (no cart sort, everyone gets this, crap). I was told legally they had to give me everything.

Funny thing is, I get mail for the previous two or three owners of the PO Box. USPS is legally required to give me mail that I am legally prohibited from opening.

My favorite? The box of 'adult toys' ordered by the previous box owner who, I can only guess, ordered while drunk, and forgot her new address.

I spent a couple days tracking her down, hoping that when I personally delivered the package she'd be so appreciative that ... Oh, never mind. She was way out of state, so I just wrote return to sender, and shipped it back to the sender.

Bottom line: USPS sucks.

The roofs and decks are built with the anticipated snow load in mind. These pics are from last week. Since then there was an additional 6 or so feet of snow. Thanks goodness for plow service for the drive way and the guys we pay $18 an hour to clear the roof and decks.

When people don't cover their sneezes and coughs. I'm not trying to get sick too.

When people piss on public toilet seats and leave it. Use the damn Urinal.

When people bump very old recruiting threads to ask if there's anything new.

Horrible . And most of the time when this happens to me it's a $60k -$90k sports car.

I really need to equip my car with phasers. At a minimum a device that will remote stall the vehicle in front of me for a few minutes.
 
People in line wait till their groceries are totaled to take out their checkbook to fill out.
Could have filled out all but the amount while in line, especially when there is a long line.
 
When people wait online at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts for 10 minutes, get to the front, and don't have any idea what they want to order. And then, have to dig around for their wallet to pay for whatever they didn't know they were going to order
 
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.

Happened to me today except I didn't let him get the chance. It really wasn't intentional but it ended up working that way. I got the finger and he got a day of aggravation.

Yep. And annoying others is even better.

I like getting to the deli counter and ordering one slice of every item in the case especially when there's a huge group of people waiting. And it has to be super thin. I make the counter people redo it several times until they get it right.

Annoys the deli people who have to unwrap and rewrap every item. It's justice to both them and the crowd. After all the counter workers were talking instead of attending to customers causing the crowd to get huge. And no one in the huge crowd of people chose to open their trap. Well that is no one spoke up until I got there. I ain't fixin things for no one but numero uno. I'm no commie who's going to eat turkey sandwiches and ketchup.


So who believed I'd do something like this!?

Bad quality but it gets the job done.

Wait.. WHAT?! Aren't these guy girdles? When you are in non-urinal bathroom do you take it off and hang it on the hook? If you have one do you cut it down to size but leave a little overhang for the winter months? Seems like it'd just make you very warm around the mid-section which would be a way worse problem then having to tuck your shirt back in a few times a day.

The young folk are buying tapered or even custom tailored shirts which you can get for pretty cheap these days. Eliminates the problem at the source, stupidly made shirts made just as wide at waist as they are at shoulders. As long as they make the shirts long enough (shirt coming all the way out showing skin or undershirt much worse) tapered is better and we should all gradually upgrade our wardrobes.

In practice what you preach hypocrisy, pretty sure that today I'm wearing a shirt that is 17yrs old (used to wear it with a particular tie pre-business casual)!

I hate when people say "wait....what?" It's either wait or what. Not both.
