    I agree with @MissMary75044 , and along those same lines

    People that stand in front of you in a long line at [INSERT ANY BIG CHAIN CAFE/RESTAURANT NAME HERE], and when they finally get to the register do this...

    "Yea,
    Ummmm.
    Gimme the _____, and
    Ummmm,
    let's see,
    Do you have,
    Ummmm,
    Can I get the ____
    with
    Ummmm,
    ....."

    COME ON PEOPLE
    1. the time to compose your order was while you are in line[/u], not when you get to the register
    2. the menu has not changed in days/months/years, how much decision making is required here?

    OVER THE TOP is the correct way (sez me)

    People who don't pick up their dog's poop while out on a walk.

    People who leave their dog outside all the time and rarely interact with them.

    Drivers: Tailgaters, cutting people off, weaving in and out of traffic, driving way too fast for the traffic conditions, driving way too slow, etc.

    Police officers who are not in pursuit of anyone and who do not obey the rules of the road. They always seem to be speeding or tailgating other drivers. Should be setting better examples and should not be putting other drivers at risk.

    Car dealers and mechanics who take advantage of people.

    etc.

    People saying that they are trying to 'loose' weight. No, no your are not. You are trying to lose weight.

    My list includes: when my husband uses the kitchen sponge/towels to wipe up stuff on the floor or sets his shoes on the kitchen counter where I prepare food.
    Your husband puts his shoes on the kitchen counter?! Why??? Is that a thing? If my boyfriend did that I don't even think I would be mad, just horribly confused. That's so gross!

    When I hear guys yelling at eachother over Xbox Live. I do not like Call of Duty at all probably because of my brother screaming at other kids, calling them noobs and whatnot. So freaking annoying. It's just a videogame, guys.... you're really going to hack into someone's computer or make death threats because someone stole your kill?

    To my knowledge, it has only happened a couple of times and it is mostly that he's grabbed them to put them away and the phone rings or he gets distracted with something else and just sets them down. When I tell him this is gross and unacceptable, he looks at me like I'm crazy and a germaphobe (probably am...microbiology classes do that to a person) and tells me that at least he picked them up and didn't just leave them lying around.

    I'm a pretty disorganized/untidy person and sometimes I just feel like kicking my shoes off wherever... but I bought a shoe rack so now I at least have a dedicated place to put them :D

    My mom's the same as me... says she's glad my stepdad just puts his shoes wherever so she feels she can do the same, hahaha. It makes more sense that it only happened a couple of times, I was imagining him using the counter as a shoe rack!

    people who take up 2 parking spots.

    When you go to the doctor or dentist, pay your co-pay and later get a bill because stupid insurance refused to pay all of it.

    Great posts lol. I guess I could be culpable to some of the posts. I have some, but my major one (pardon the very long post):

    Dog Owners
    a. Dog walks
    i. If a dog is walking ahead of you and not alongside or behind you, you are not walking the dog! And those flex-leashes, and those that go around the dog’s trunk, rather than the neck - ugh!
    ii. Walking the dog while texting/using phone. The walk (and mastering it) is the most important and powerful thing in a dog’s life. One should walk the dog with the dog's benefit in mind
    b. Talking to a dog in a “baby/cooing” voice
    c. When people meet a dog and think it okay to pet the dog right away (while using the “baby” voice) – this is not how dogs meet in the wild (pack world). They smell each other and etc. Why not be patient? How about not look, touch, or "talk" to the dog until he/she has smelled you/he or she initiates the meeting? It takes quite a bit of patience, but it works. And you will once in a while hear a complaint that, “I just bent down to say hello to the dog, and suddenly he/she bit me,” oh?...but did you see/understand the dog’s body language before you did that, or did you just see the end result?
    d. Double standards – when someone declares how their dog is their baby, yet do not restrain the dog, say, while driving (would you let your own child ride unrestricted in the vehicle?), or jumping on strangers on the way or visitors at home, letting a dog (especially small breeds - one may think it cute that a Chihuahua barks at anyone wanting to socialize with his/her owner while the dog is seated on the owner's lap) get away with murder
    e. Blaming dogs (including not understanding powerful breeds – which lead to most being destroyed or being returned to shelters – though that there are red zone cases that are beyond salvage) for their behaviour
    i. The dog does not understand you shouting at it...he/she feels does not feel sorry and he/she is not depressed about this and that…dogs pick up on energy. If you are a nervous person for example, the dog will not trust you. The dog may find a need to step in and “protect” its pack as its leader, hence why the dog would go after other dogs while on a walk, for example. Change you and the dog will change.
    ii. At the dog park, you see a fight, then go on to blame dog B, yet it is your dog that entered the park with his tail held really high, did you notice that the whites of his eyes were more prominent? Did you see how your dog approached dog B (head-on as opposed from the side; was the head held high or low)? How was your frame of mind right before you left for the park, or before disembarking from the car? Did you see that when you approached that dog in a high-pitched, excited mind that the dog started jumping all over you? That may not be because he likes you…..
    f. Using human psychology rather than dog/animal psychology on dogs
    i. Can you tell an aggressive dog from a nervous, excited, timid, or an obsessive one? Does your dog trust you? Are you a pack leader (not by hurting, but by being calm and assertive)
    ii. Do you know (why) most (with the exception of a few) dogs in the rural areas/”free range” have less “psychological” problems, less medication etc?
    iii. Do you understand the different barks/growls?
    iv. “I will not neuter/spay my dog because I will change his personality/he or she will be so depressed”…uhm…what? Lol
    v. Do you fulfill the dog’s needs and desires (as an animal) first before yours (e.g., religiously walking, general wellness, food, shelter, giving the dog something to do etc) – dressing up a dog may be something you like, but that is not fulfilling the dog’s needs
    vi. Do you follow through with your commands in a calm way? Do you have set boundaries and limitations for your dog? Sometimes you find powerful people (in powerful positions) where they assert authority at work every day, but often ran down by their dogs at home lol
    vii. Have you watched your dog in a pack or in the pack? You may learn a lot about your dog from the other dogs (sans humans). They are the best teachers
    viii. Do you know why your dog barks all day or wees while you are away at work? Do you take him on a rigorous walk beforehand? Do you prep him to leave or do you coo, “I am going to work now…be a good boy now…you will be ok…it is ok…?”
    g. Not picking after one’s dog
    h. Thank you for saving lives of shelter dogs when you adopt one, but please choose the right dog for you. Just putting your fingers through the cage so he can smell, or thinking a dog is cute does not do.
    How is the dog’s energy/personality matched to yours or your household’s? How do you meet the dog for the first time at the shelter? How do you introduce the dog to your home the first time? Do you know how to lay the foundation down for a well-balanced dog? How do you socialize your dog with others?

    >>>Stepping off irrational soap box :smile:

    Holy crap! :o

    You're in a safe place, though. <3 Get those feels out, lol.

    I feel a bit better...lol

    Wal-Mart...

    THIS X infinity!!!! I get anxious just pulling into the parking lot. I HATE place almost as much as I hate the tag office or DMV.

    I would go to the DMV everyday for a month if it meant I never had to enter a Walmart again. I end up there MAYBE once or twice a year. Every time I remember why I don't go.. lol

    For some reason I'm usually ok with men calling me honey... unless it seems they are doing in to be flirtatious. When they do it I usually get the feeling that they're just looking after me, almost in a father-daughter way. ''That's alright honey, I got it.'' But I grew up in the Southern States around people who called EVERYONE honey/darling/sweetiepie/honeybunch/sugar dumpling.

    I think my generation started that back in the early 80s and it drove me crazy. Same thing with "all.". She was all like XXXX, and he was all like XXXX. Valley girl speak. Ugh.

    Babies. Which is probably horrible and unfair, but they drive me crazy. Every time (every .35 seconds or less, to be exact) one of them opens their mouth to scream or wail i want to choke slam them, but then im like "oh wait its just a baby it doesnt know any better." So then i just want to jump into the ocean and hang out a while till they grow up, but by them there will be tons more babies...ugh.
