Good one! I agree.

Other things that bother me -

People that talk in caps lock on AIM.

People that have to be right about everything.

Public restrooms. (For #2s)

Chain IM's. (No, some dead 8-year-old girl is not going to visit me if I don't send this to 10 people, and besides, why the hell would she care?)

I could name a lot more too.

I have this happen a lot to me too. I cashier at a theme park, and this is the worst instance of that type of situation I've had. A customer more or less shoved a pile of coupons at me, some of which were inaplicable to what they wanted or expired. Then he asks me to price out several options for him since you can buy specific sections of the park (waterpark, lasertag, mini golf) the whole things, or everything but water. Then as I go back to void out what he wanted me to spec out he had the nerve to comment to his wife (in front of me) that I was certainly taking a while. He never told me what he wanted or precisely how many people were in his party. At that moment I just asked him how many people he had, how many were under 10, and sold him that many full price tickets for the whole park and dumped the coupons in the trash.

I've also had a number of customers who need their receipt for something, usually an exchange or refund, but since they threw it out or don't bother to search their pockets or purse, they insist I never gave it to them.

Since I'm ranting about work right now, another things that bugs me is employees who don't work. They show up late, don't work, wander off and do nothing, yet never seem to get written up or reprimanded.

People who drive 60mph on 65mph highway outside of town, yet as soon as they get into town they can drive 40mph on a 30mph road, or worse- 30mph down a 20mph main street. Why do these people speed when they are around cops, but when their out in the open they are too scared to drive the speed limit?

People who do 30 mph in the laft lane.

People who can't keep their car at a constant speed, i.e. they do 30 uphill and 70 downhill and 50 on everything in between.

Lets see. Things which annoy me:

the School Board: Cause they dont know their left hand from their right, and we suffer the consequences!

"Groupies" who block the Hallway at my high school

Drivers who just have to tailgate behind me! I cant stand tailgating. especially when my dad does it. lol

Thats just to name a few.

Neighbors.

Answering the phone, saying your business name and the next thing they ask you is, "is this (your business name)"

Disrespect and rudeness, and stupid people (although this usually ties in to the two previous)

Seems like new stuff pops up to annoy me when I least expect it [like those new "Take Over Your Web Page ads"] . . . but I try to keep with Louis Armstong & that sunny side of the street

. . . speaking of which, that $3.35 breakfast Sarge mentioned sounds pretty good = can almost hear the eggs sizzling, someone turning the potatoes, cakes on the griddle, maple syrup in the morning!

[. . . the last sentence in this post was written by Mr. Routh's stomach. . . ]
