I know it's been done once before, but the thing that really p***es me off is people who stand in front of their buggies at a supermarket/discount store/etc. and then pay for their purchases with a check; and then stand there while the person behind them (sometimes me) gets mad because he can't start unloading his purchases, and then the cash-register operator starts ringing up your purchase before you can see what's going on!

Along the same line students who buy milk and a loaf of bread and then get their chequebook out and start writing one for less than 2 pounds Grrrrrr.

What about banks or the post office who only have two cashiers on at lunchtime so you spend the whole of yours in the queue!

What cheesuz me orff .....

People who get off an escalator, and stop moving  :o >:(

End Quote

Lol thats so true! Also, what about when they break down and you have to climb up them like steps - but the size of them is double the size of a normal big step. It's almost like doing full lunges to get up somehwere! But other then that - escalators are cool - I once asked my mom for some for Xmas when I was 3 ;D (Your guess as to whther I got them or not is *slightly* predictable :))

Okay, I have to admit, a lot of things annoy me.  One of the most recent is people with bad hygine.  I'm not talking about people who just got finished working outdoors all day, I'm talking about people who just don't bathe.  People with foul odors from all parts (and I do mean all parts) of their bodies who come in to talk to me and because it's my job, I have to talk to them, and I have to sit relatively close to them sometimes to go over things in books with them.  These people annoy me.

What really annoys me is people in no position of authority telling everybody else at work what their job is. It's bad enough that the authoritarians have to repeat "Do your job" like a mantra. It's another thing that people with the same grade as you say do this or such and such will happen to you and YOU ONLY. And they believe they are exempt because they've been at the office longer than you have. It's just so frustrating and annoying.  >:(

Sully from Godsmack is certainly annoying with his whole Wiccan "respect the mother earth" spiel, but he's nowhere close on the annoying scale like Scott Stapp.  I truly despise this man as much as it is possible to loathe someone you've never met.

Not getting a "courtesy wave" when I go out of my way to let somebody in in traffic.

People who don't pick up after their dogs. Or neuter them. Or keep them in a yard/on a leash. Or train them. Okay, just irresponsible dog-owners, how about that?

These two things really bug me, too.  

I have a neighbor that lives two houses down from me.  She is a very nosy little woman.  Example:  My next door neighbor put flowers in front of her house...this other woman pulled them out and put in what she wanted to.  Forget the fact that it isn't her property.  She also has a dog that she has trained to go in the area between mine and my next door neighbors house...where our kids play.  Neither one of us has a dog, we shouldn't have to go on poo patrol just to let our kids play. >:(

Quoting:
...people who don't watch their kids...End Quote

What I really hate is, for example when you see a mother (or to be politically correct, primary caregiver) shopping or walking down a street, and they're not even looking at they're kids and just walking ahead. Not holding on to their hands, and just letting them drift off behind them. I have this thing about it beacuse it looks to me like these kids are so unloved and not cared for which is so horrible.

I once saw this 'primary caregiver' walking down the local high street with two kids who could not have been more than 3 and 5 just wondering off in every direction. She walked on for about 10 metres and then as she looked back, she saw the kids wern't following so she went and grabbed them both by the wrists and pushed them forward. I was just casaully looking outside the window whilst in Starbucks and saw the whole thing - I couldn't beleive it.

I'm guessing that Alicia was probbaly on a completely different wave length, well, the more 'traidtional' wave length when she said the above comment :)

Nothing wrong with that.  He is a bit sanctimonious about it, but he annoys me in many other different ways.  The humorless, numbingly serious interviews.  The terrible music.  The oh-so-symbolic Jesus Christ poses.  The hilarious but still awful facial expressions.  The incredibly, mindblowingly pretentious videos.  The "every song we do deals with Christ but we're not a Christian band" stance.  The enormous ego.  Probably some other stuff I hate about him that I can't remember right now.

I agree with you on that! Sometimes I wonder if he thinks he's Jesus or something... ::)

Why did I know that you would address this?    :D

In fact, I think that's where I 1st saw this abuse, at the shipyard probably in specs.  But at the same time, I could swear I saw it there correctly.  It's like this (as well as other MIL inventions w/no basis in correct grammar) has actually spread to the general world.

"Ship is under way" - simply means it's moving out.  We still SAY it like it's 2 words - that space means pause; try saying it fast like "underwear" and see how it doesn't even sound right!  Write "Ship is underway" and you have, subject noun-linking verb-(noun or adjective or verb?).  If you have to question what kind of word it is, it's wrong.

I'm not an English major and can't describe it well, but it's wrong, I don't care what modern Webster's or MIL says!   Aaarrgggh!   :-X

Some more of mine:

People who don't walk single file in supermarket aisles
People who park their buggies in supermarket aisles so that you can't get around them
People who just gawk at the items in a supermarket
People who walk up moving escalators (what's your hurry?  Sit back and enjoy the ride!)

You should go to a 24-hour supermarket, so then you could shop at 3 AM with no one to bother you...  ::)  ;D

I hate when Wal-Mart/Kmart/whatever has their aisles so crammed you can only get one cart through.

And, like CD said, when people just STAND in front of things!  Hello, I would like to get some cereal... could you please move?

Quoting:
people who stop right in front of you when you're in a rush shopping, and then have a go at you for pushing past them after you give up practically yelling "excuse me" for about five minutes.

Even better if 2 whole families meet and have a chat in the middle of the aisle, complete with 4 adults, 2 trolleys and a million kids  >:(

Another thing about fast food restaurants…

When you tell them exactly what you want, they always ask, "You want cheese on that?"  I always say, "Did I say cheese?"
End Quote

I've worked fast food, and let me say, go easy on these guys.  They're probably required to ask.  They've probably been berated a number of times by people complaining that there's no cheese on the food even though they didn't ask for any cheese.  The number of idiot fast food workers you will deal with are probably much much less than the number of idiots the average fast food worker deals with.

End Quote

I once worked in an open-24-hours-a-day supermarket, and I can tell you that 3am is the absolute worst time to try to shop.  That's when the store employees are re-stocking the shelves, and there are so many boxes dumped out on the floor waiting to be put up that you literally cannot get your shopping cart down the aisle.

Once the workers have cleared the aisle, then the cleaning crew comes along and sweeps, mops, and waxes the floor.  You'd be better off waiting till sometime between 6 and 7 am.

Ok, had to post this, as it just happened to me 45 minutes ago.

Going through a fast-food drive-thru, the order taker asks "Would you like to try our (special of the week) combo today?"  I replied, "Yes!...and I'd like that with a (name of drink) as well as (additional item)."  They came back with "Okay, and what was your first item, sir?"  I'm sure they're required to "suggestively sell" but they should be required to listen to the response also b/c someone may actually want to try it!


End Quote

Here when you first pull up to the drive through the "Hello would you like to try our ____ today" is a recording  so answering it gets no responce.  It will Mess me up everytime.

Lazy a-holes who can't get a park within ten feet of the door to the mall, so they park in the disabled space (a mall near where I used to live actually employed someone to book everyone who did this).

OH YEAH! They should be flayed. So very not cool.

My personal pet peeve at the moment is really cool interconnected stereo/DVD/video game/television eletronic equipment that I can't figure out how to work. >:-( Four remotes? Who needs four remotes? I can get a picture, but the only sound I get is Pink off the radio.
