Wal-Mart

Don't you love when while shopping, someone in front of you parks their big butt right in the middle of the isle to socialize with someone while you stand there trying to get by. I need to take an air horn with me next time I go to Walmart. Maybe a cattle prod

LL--I think I can solve this one for you, pal. Stop shopping at Walmart!

Leaving 3 potato chip crumbs in the bag, then putting it away instead of eating the 3 crumbs and throwing out the bag. Ditto for the ice cream container. Just be the one to finish it already.

Anyone but me doing my laundry or cleaning my bathrooms. My mother-in-law still hasn't learned that this really makes me nuts. Stay outta my dirt!


Too many home parties- I was invited to way too many a while back and it makes me uncomfortable to go and not buy anything. So now I have a toe ring (that I will never be able to cram back on my toe), a pizza stone, some vitamins and weight loss tea (yeah right), some awful lipstick, moisturizer my dermatologist said was deadly, and some stupid looking flowerpots.

Wish someone would invite me to one of those sexy stuff parties. I could get a P-cake mold.

Oh, jdarg, you made my day! This post is the bright spot in my snowy day! :clap_1:
I agree with you on the empty containers--HATE that! I also hate empty Coke/pop/soda cans left on the kitchen counter because someone is too lazy to open the back door and drop it in the recycling box...!

3. People who rudely talk on their cell phones while interacting with other people.

I agree with this one, and I use my cell phone a lot. But if I'm in the checkout of a store or a drivethru, I end my phone conversation and call back! So many people don't do that; I think it's rude.

People who invite you to lunch and then spend the entire time on their cell. ARGH! I told her next time, leave her phone in the car, or I'm leaving!

YES, and worse, family members which you've called long-distance to talk to, who spend the entire time yakking, talking or griping at their kids while you wait, completely ignored for long periods at a time. One person does this so much, to such a ridiculous extent, that I have decided next time to just quietly hang up on her and see how long it takes her to figure out I'm not there anymore.

(Ah, this thread is so theraputic. )

Waiters/Waitresses that don't write your order down and then you don't get what you asked for

Sorry to revive this again.....but I just had to vent!

When you stand in line at the movie theater for tickets for a long time and the people in front of you get to the front of the line and have NO IDEA what movie they want to see.......UGH!!!

Corollary No. 1 :

When you stand in line to order food at a fast food place for a long time and the people in front of you get to the front of the line and have NO IDEA what food they want to order......UGH!!!


IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Smiling JOe]

I don't eat fast food often, but I remember on several occassions, walking into McD's and before the door closed, the obviously bored cashiers yelling across the restaurant (if you can call it McD's that), "May I take your order please?" That used to bug me as much as if they said nothing at all. It is almost like walking onto a CarMax lot. Pushy, pushy, pushy.:nono1:

 

[Landlocked]

People who wait until after the cashier has rung up all of their groceries to start writing their check. They could have been doing that while in line. I'm usually a laid back guy who takes his time, but for some reason, I can't stand to wait on people writing checks.

Oh BD...I so agree! Especially those that request you forward the email to 10 of your closest friends or else you will be responsible for millions of locust descending upon the earth!!! Give me a break! How do you handle this? Do you request the person take your name off their list or just delete?

It's even worse when it's a political email forward, and the person who sent it to you obviously does not know that you do not share their views or care that someone else might find the email offensive. I made enemies once by hitting "reply all" when I responded with my opinion/request to be removed. But I think they got my point. Don't send slanted, political mass emails!

Oh, and people who are rude in restaurants. Was that one already mentioned? Stay home, losers.

Sorry, grumpy this morning...school started back today.
