What bugs me is people going through self check out that don't know how to work the register. Today 4 people got through one lane of self check out in the time it took a lady to ring up her 20 items. She set the light off with almost every single item. I swear there needs to be an IQ check before you're allowed to enter this line. the grocery store closest to my house (it's open 24/7, and I only ever go off-hours) has self-check for both express and full cart. you'll see people with full carts in the express lane, complaining that there aren't normal-sized plastic bags. then there's the little spin-thing that tells you all the produce codes, but you'll have people that have a cart full of produce just plopping their items on the scale and waiting for the cashier to punch it in. oh, and then there's the couples that screen the cashier to allow for directly bagging items and putting them back in the cart without scanning.

My bank's debit cards are the same background color as the State's EBT cards. There have been multiple occasions that my friends and I have been harassed and yelled at for buying steak and beer with "taxpayer money." Yes, we pull out the "reverse B**** slap" and inform them that it is a debit card. Oddly enough, the people that make a commotion are almost always men who look exactly like the textbook redneck.

Very, very interesting, scientifically proven..... Six Truths in Life 1. You cannot stick your tongue out and look up at the ceiling at the same time, a physical impossibility. 2. All idiots, after reading #1 will try it. 3. And discover #1 is a lie. 4. You are smiling now because you are an idiot. 5. You soon will forward this to another Idiot. 6. There is still a stupid smile on your face .. I sincerely apologize about this but I'm an idiot and I needed company. You now have 2 options...delete it, or send it along to put a smile on someone's face today. Have fun.

The ones that piss me off are those that cut you off and THEN drive super slow! Like 20 in a 40 and there were no cars behind me... <--YES!!!! 1. You cannot stick your tongue out and look up at the ceiling at the same time, a physical impossibility. <--Totally did this as soon as I read it LMAO. I must say my failing is road rage. I am a very agressive driver. But seriously...do people think I'm psychic? Am I supposed to know that you're turning/double parking/having car trouble, if you don't use your blinkers/hazard lights?!?!?! This has been my #1 pet peeve on the road, since I first got a license. So, if your driving and you get honked at/cursed out/flipped off by an irate (yet shockingly attractive) woman driving a beat up, rusty Mitsubishi, it's probably me screaming in my car something to the effect of "WTF!!! Am I F-ing Psychic? Do I look psychic you (insert horrible un-ladylike curse-word)!!!"

What about the person waiting in line in front of you hogging the belt with their 3 items and placing the separator thingie at the very end of the belt? I swear these people think you are trying to get them to accidently pay for your stuff. I've had people give me very dirty looks when I reach for the separator and put it close to their stuff and start loading mine. Dude if I was trying to trick the cashier into ringing up my stuff with yours I would not have put the separator on the belt. I've had people actually push the separator as far as possible from their stuff and then glare at me. I didn't know my box of Cheerios had cooties.

Geez, I have 20 boxes of Cheerios stashed in my pantry. If that's the case, I gotta whole lotta cooties at home. Another one I just loooooove...the parents who let the kid hold a grocery item the entire shopping trip, then try to take it away, PATIENTLY explaining that "the lady has to ring it up before we can take it home" while the kids just screams bloody murder. Um, note to parents of preschoolers: kids of a certain age don't really get the concept of money and paying for things and that there's a tradeoff between that and ownership of an item. They just know you want their stuff, and they are going to lose their stuff, and it makes them mad. Holding up the line while explaining finances to a tantrum-throwing two-year-old makes no sense.

I have two cats, but they cannot jump high enough to reach the Cheerios.
Anyway, everyone knows you don't get cooties from cats. You get them from boys.

Did we already cover the a*hole on the road behind you who refuses to slow down AT ALL as your making a right turn? Jerk almost clipped me earlier and yes, my blinker was on and no I was not at a virtual stop while turning! < RoseGarden tries to see if she can't stick out her tongue and look at the ceiling at the same time again... yep, still can! But I'm smiling again >

I think that the thing that annoys me more than anything in the road are those people who get into a right turn only lane and want to go straight. The 3 places in town where these are at there is no lane there on the other side of the intersection, so they have to cut someone off also.
So it winds up being a two-fer annoyance. They annoy the person behind them, waiting to make a right on red AND annoy the person they cut off in the other lane.

We have a major freeway running N <--> S through city that's 3 lanes each way. WHY does the slow-driving idiot insist on driving in the far left lane, and WHY does the other idiot in the far left lane decide he needs to take the next exit ramp just before reaching it, and then cuts across 2 lanes of fast-moving cars and semi's?

You may assume I think you're an idiot if you repeatedly demonstrate that you don't know the difference between its and it's.
You may also assume I think you're an idiot if you post on a money message board and can't spell simple money-related terms, such as if you repeatedly write dept instead of debt.

That is apparently not unique to your area - we have tons of those on the interstates here in St. Louis, too. My mother used to complain about this constantly when she drove here to visit; in Chicago the common driver issue is using the right lane to pass someone at a high rate of speed.

Parking in the travel lanes...you did not know those are the "phone booth" lanes here? And what makes you think someone does not have the right to talk on their cellphone and keep you from actually driving, huh? Ya just expect too much! .hey, I thought the world revolved around me, not them

Well, now ya know...it is all about them and the right to talk and text while mowing right on through traffic lights, signs, school zones, shrubs and into HOV lanes while driving alone. Hey, that's an important call, by golly.
Geez, the world used to wait until we were someplace safe to take or make a phone call. What happened?

Am I supposed to know that you're turning/double parking/having car trouble, if you don't use your blinkers/hazard lights?!?!?! And in Florida, when it rains everyone is driving with their hazards on. Don't you know that hazards are only supposed to be turned on if you are NOT moving? ?

I hate when people are walking on the sidewalk/aisle/in the mall, going really slow, but meandering left and right constantly, making it really difficult to get around them.

Argh! I hate this. I was actually going to get out of my car and beat a guy up who did this. The lights are motion sensor so only the turn arrow was going green, not the straight lane lights. He just SAT THERE and SAT THERE and SAT THERE.
Then someone had to ride right up my butt rather than giving me the space to back up so I was stuck behind the moron, then someone rode up his ass so we were all stuck in a pile up.
Someone FINALLY pulled into the straight lane, the lights went green and the ahole nearly clipped the poor guy in the straight lane.
Why on earth could you not have just turned right, gone around the block, coming back into the proper lane?!!!!
