Non-descriptive thread titles. This site is not too bad, but holy crap, go visit the Mythbusters message board. I like the show and the subject of urban legends in general, but that site is overrun with teenagers who use one-word subject lines and never search before posting. The self-check lanes. Why should I ring up my own groceries? Do I get a discount for it? If a plumber shows up at your house, hands you a pipe wrench and says "get busy", would you expect to pay his standard rates?
The classic "Gas, Gas, Brake" drivers.. Just let off the friggin gas when you're 5 over instead of braking and repeating the same thing again. Oh and, People who change lanes during gridlock traffic. Yes, because changing a lane when EVERYONE's stopped is really going to make you move faster.
People that have to answer a cell phone while in the middle of a conversation, telling you in mid-sentence "hold on". Those that can't make it through a class without texting people, it's only an hour. The people that expect me to ring them up at the register when they have the phone stuck to their ear. Those same people only using the bluetooth headset and just beginning the conversation when they get to the register. Makes for some awkward moments for both parties when I respond and they ignore me or tell the other person about the idiot at the register. I guess I could say cell phones on general.
Get over it, it's not a big deal. These are usually called drunk drivers. MOST folks do this, something else for you to get over. I had a good friend burn alive in a car. Anyone that says someone 'should be burned alive' should be burned alive. (sic) They would, but they are probably saying 'hello' to the person on the other line. If you know it's a scam, that's good enough. Don't buy it. Switch Doctors ??? Simple. Ignore these people. I have not listened to my wife in YEARS... she knows it all...
One of my favorites. When I see someone trailing me as I walk to my car, I feign going between cars to the next lane, and then walk back to the lane I was in. Or, I get to my car, throw stuff in the trunk, then 'fake' going back into the store, they drive past, then I turn around and go back to my car. Unless it's a good looking MILF, then I signal her to hang on a sec while I back out...
I go to seminary, so I'm surrounded by them. particularly boorish behavior lately, don't know what's up.
Restaurants. McDonald's, Taco Bell, Burger King. A family of 8 walks in ahead of you, there is ONE cashier, and the entire family spends 5 minutes gazing over the menu up on the wall like they just arrived on planet earth and had never been there before. 'Hmm, shall I get the cheesburger double-bacon, or the double-bacon cheeseburger ?? Large Coke medium fry, or medium fry large coke ?.........'
Slow drivers in the left lane. If someone is fairly close behind you in the left lane, move over. Even if you are going the speed limit, just move over and them pass you. Ricers that rev their 4-bangers at me at every stop light. People who use "your" when they should use "you're," as well as people who say "I could care less" when they really mean "I couldn't care less" and "good" instead of "well." The 2009 F1 cars, especially those stupid new rear wings. etc.....
Not towards you here, just my experience I'll add people that tailgate even if your already going above the speed limit in a 65, and you move over, and they just creep in the blind spot. and for the Ricers, that's just so their engine doesnt die.
+1 Tailgating is worse than any of the things I listed before. Not only is it annoying, but it's also dangerous.
Almost side swiped a tailgater that was creeping in my blind spot in my dads Accord, and I was going 80 (speed limit 75 from El Paso-> San Antonio) I let another car pass, and thought that was them, so I was moving back over since I was behind a 18 wheeler. And, I have another close call that happened to me. When merging, the car behind me merged quicker, it was a huge Dodge Ram, and I was in a Lexus ES300, so I couldn't tell if anyone was behind her, and she wouldn't let me merge for some reason, so I got screwed and started breaking, but she was in another lane, and after a while and then I got in front of her and she layed the horn down. My mom was in the car, but the windows were rolled down, so I flicked her off, just because she was being a *****, and then I just took off, that was my first experience seeing the revs getting close to redline.
Are you sure they just can't tell you have a bluetooth headset. I mistakenly told some guy the time when he was asking the person on the phone. It was kind of awkward.
1) People at work that act like they are hard workers when a Supervisor is around. 2) It rains the day after I wash my car. 3) Looking at my 401 K each day and praying that it will be in the green instead of the red. 4) Having a sweet tooth and finding out that there isn't anything sweet in the house. 5) Seeing the best parts of a movie on a preview and then going to the movie and finding out they were the only best parts. 6) Explaining something to my wife, who is from China, and then turning around in 30 minutes and explain the same thing again. 7) Playing the Big Loto only when it's big and not matching a single number. 8) Being married and having girls give you the time of day without asking, being single and them not even offering to tell you the time. I love you Jennifer! 9) Not being able to think of 10 of these things.
I get paid every other Friday and I can never get my check until after 2 pm which means my bank won't put the full amount in the account. They put $100 in on good faith and then the rest sits until Monday night. I can however deposit $100 and then get the rest in cash and technically deposit the cash which goes in instantly. Does this not make any sense to anyone else? I don't see why they can't just put all my money in if they can give it all to me in cash.
