Buying a fullscreen DVD by mistake. I think I have done that about 3 times now...:b

My top ten everyday annoyances:

1. Bank tellers who can't take a joke about pretend stick-ups.

2. Sunday drivers who only cruise at 85mph in the left lane.

3. Shoeshine boys who can't get semen stains out of red pumps.

4. Mail carriers who make a big fuss out of a couple of bite marks and a moderate amount of blood.

5. Anything Rosie O'Donnell has ever done, is doing now, or ever will do.

6. People who, unless they're out ridin' fences, wear a cowboy hat.

7. Fast food workers who always expect you to have enough money to pay for your order.

8. Doctors who insist on knowing why I need my Vicodin.

9. Full-frame porn.

10. Any retail employee who says 'hi' to me whenever I enter their fuckin' store.

When people mix up "weary" and "wary".

People who complain about the heat all summer and the cold all winter. I realize complaining about the weather is the national pastime of Canada and I should get used to it, but I can't.

Jon Are,

I've got another one that's snack related, when your eating chips and dip and the chip snaps off in the dip and you can't retrive it without the chip getting "lost" in the dip, that shit just happened to me before I typed this I swear. :frowning:

I hate litterbugs. Whats the big deal of hanging onto your McDonald's garbage until you park your car instead of having to chuck it out the window?

I honestly think the only reason some do it is because the law states you can't.

 

[Brett_H]

People who change their minds about a purchase while shopping (grocery store, Target, etc) and just dump the rejected product wherever they happen to be. Either take it back where you got it or give it to the cashier to take back!

Cell phones.

People who sing along to the car radio. This really bugs me, I don't care if you're even in tune. It's inconsiderate. Especially if I have to raise my voice to compete with your voice to talk to someone else in the car. Do it when you're alone.

People in the office who, when they are bored, come chat with me, when I am swamped.

No cover charge for women.

News tickers at the bottom of the TV screen. They get me dizzy.

News tickers at the bottom of the TV screen.

You just reminded me...TV Logos!!!!! I will no longer watch my local Fox channel because it is permanantly burned into my RPTV!!!!!!!!

 

[MikeFR]

People who can't read from a computer monitor without touching it.

Cant stand that. Some of the monitors at work are just covered in finger prints.

Heres a few more...

The overuse of the word "pseudo" in message board posts.

People at a video rental store who talk on a cell phone "Have you seen this one? Oh how bout this one?..."

Always melting too much butter for my popcorn and then proceeding to dump it all on anyway.

People who drive in the fast lane and think it gives them a right to go as fast as they want. You know the ones who ride your ass even though you are already speeding.

Any subway or mcdonalds commercial.

DVD and CD shrinkwrap.

Overpackaged products that just produce a bunch of garbage. Add disposable products to that one(AKA those one use cutting boards,"use and toss")

 

[Chris Baucom]

When I'm driving and turn on my signal to indicate a turn or a lane change and the person in front of or behind me turns or changes lanes and DOESN'T use their signal. I'm not talking about getting cut off or anything like that, but I'm just making the point that the other driver doesn't have the courtesy to indicate their intentions even though I made my intentions known to him/her. Drives me batty.

When I'm in line at the grocery/video/hardware store and they open a new register and the person BEHIND ME goes to the new line. This drives me crazy for two reasons. First, even if the clerk says "I can help who's next" they don't usually verify who is actually next. Second, the people at the back of the line who do this don't consider that there might be people who have been waiting longer.

 

[Christopher P]

Wasting food. And I don't just mean taking a date to a nice restaurant, having her eat less than 1/2 of her food, and not wanting to take home the rest. I worked in catering for years and saw so much good food thrown out I cringe.

Work related:

Ridiculously over-stuffed 3-Ring binders.

Talking to someone in the office for 20 minutes, then passing them 5 minutes later, and still having to say "hi."

Post-It Note over-usage

People who give me notes in such bad handwriting I have to have them translate it for me.

EDIT: Sending an inter-office email and getting email in return that says (A) The message was delivered. (B) The message was opened and read. And getting email that asks for a confirmation receipt.

I thought of another one. People who take half of the napkins out of a dispencer at fast food places. Do you really need 62 napkins to eat a burger and some fries?

 

[MarkHastings]

When deciding where to go to lunch or dinner and people say they don't care when they really do:
Me: "Where to you want to go to eat?"
Other person: "I don't care..."
Me: "I don't care either, where do YOU want to go???"
Other person: "I REALLY don't care...you pick."
Me: "Ok, McDonalds."
Other person: (in a whiny voice) "I don't want to go there."
Me: "Ok, then where DO you want to go?"
Other person: "I don't care..."
Me: "Then let's just go get some Pizza"
Other person: "But I already had Pizza yesterday..."
and on and on and on until the vein in my forehead EXPLODES!!!!!
If you're going to say you don't care - MEAN IT!!!!!!!

People who can't read from a computer monitor without touching it.

Yes!! Good 1!
I hate fingerprints on the monitor!
WHY is there EVER a need to physically touch the screen? There is no reason.

 

[David Von Pein]

Any retail employee who says 'hi' to me whenever I enter their fuckin' store.

It appears that Best Buy employs one (or more!) individuals to lurk at the entrance to the store for the sole purpose of saying "Hi; how are ya?".
