Toy does all the shopping.

Smart people with big trucks avoid the city, like me. :biggrin:

QuoteMen who wear skinny jeans.
Especially fat old guys.

QuoteWomen who carry around small dogs
Don't know what's more irritating, a dog the size of a rat, or the idiot that treats it a doll, so they can accessorize it.

I like the one that some BB player got that said he was gay, or something like that.
Lost in translation. :lol:

Oh, man! This one could have some legs!!!

A driver who gets all the way to the right in front of me at a stop sign or red light, then signals a left turn and we all just fucking sit there until this moron gets a break in traffic. (Happened to me just an hour ago.)

The scruffy schlub in front of me at the local market who's buying $5 scratch-offs with his stash of loose change and old $1 Pick Three winners.

"Easy Open" food packages (other than steel cans) that require sharp metal implements and/or explosives to open.

Those envelopes that make you fold and tear off multiple edges in a prescribed sequence in order to see the contents, usually trash or a bill you ain't gonna pay anyhow.

Cashiers who cannot make change, a process that demands no arithmetic skills beyond the ability to count to 100.

Multiple network logos and "coming soon!" blurbs all over the TV screen during the show I'm trying (and paying) to watch.

What really annoys me:

Cell phones always cutting out.  People who say they will call back and never do.

Very slow drivers on mountain roads who never pull over to let you by, grrrrr!!!!

Shoppers in line who take forever with food stamps, coupons, etc.

Shoppers with 5 or more kids, all under age of 5, yelling and crying in store.   :cursing: :cursing:

Shoppers (illegals) who cannot talk English and cashier does not know Spanish, Grrrrrr!!!!!

Homeless who stand on street with "I will work for food" signs or badger you to death for money. 

Very rude cashiers who act like you are bothering them. 


Well there are others , but this is probably enough for now.

I second that! That's why when I'm at the urinal taking a leak I usually just stare and smile at the dude next to me instead of making small talk, because small talk might be construed as gay.

That's so every two years we are disoriented on Election Day. Look at the timing when most states adopt that awful idea.

One of my favorite things is my iPod. I like to listen to my music when working out or at a quiet lunch by myself. It seems however that putting the ear buds in has become a signal to the oblivious of the world to start a conversation. Then it isn't enough to just try and ignore these people. If you try and ignore their attempt to tell you it's cold outside in the winter they will force you to pay attention to them. They will tap you on the arm or my personal favorite pull an ear bud out. I sincerely wish it was legal to punch these people in the throat until any further vocal communication from them is impossible.

The person in front of you pulls a crumpled ball of garbage out of his pocket and let's the cashier sort it out.

The person in front of you decides to catch up on the last 20 years when you are in a hurry.

Price matchers. If you can get it cheaper at another store... Go to that store. That is probably the biggest reason I don't go to Walmart.
