When I bring backed goods to the office and someone eats the last one but leaves the pan and the dirty utensil on the counter.
People who replace the toliet paper roll under instead of over...
A minimum purchase amount to use my debit card.0 -
The increasing paucity of people's working vocabularies. Unfortunately this isn't an imagined problem either since recent studies suggest that the generations growing up with a text-based, rather than mostly oral tradition of language, have smaller vocabularies.
I suppose this trend worries and saddens more than angers me, because how can one express thoughts and ideas effectively through sentences littered with "it's like", "you know", "and stuff", "literally" and "totally"? And it's known that not being able to express one's thoughts effectively can lead to anger and frustration.
Good point. Well made..... ..... and there is a lot of anger in here .... :laugh:0 -

People who use their debit cards for minimum purchases instead of cash, while I wait in line.

This is a capital offense in Texas and Florida, I believe.0 -

Tail-gaters. I never drive below the speed limit but I rarely speed either. On the highway I stay in the slow lane, going 65 mph max. there is always that one crazy who gets right behind me and ignores the 3 empty lanes on the right. Grrrrrrr. Just get over and speed on! But you're not going to make me speed. :noway:
People who are willing know-nothings. You see them all the time on MFP: I don't know how to post a link! How the heck are you an adult in 2013 and you don't know how to copy a link from the address bar and paste it? But ok say you don't know. Google it, ask somebody, but find out. Don't willingly remain clueless.
People who twig out over using google as a verb. Language evolves.
People who think ordinary people who do ordinary things are extraordinary, and having dreams of any kind is 'wild' or 'speculative'. For example, I once had a conversation with a woman in a LIBRARY who felt that writing a book was this fantastic, impossible dream. I was floored. Excuse me! You're in a library! You are surrounded by thousands of books, WHY why why do you think writing a book is impossible?
People who eat meat but call themselves vegetarians.
People who think parental involvement has ZERO to do with student achievement.
People who encourage/support obesity.
People who encourage/support anorexia and/or bulimia.0 -
Racist people
People who discriminate

TV programs that show previews and recaps during the show *as* you watch it. What do they think we're doing during commercials? Getting lobotomies? I remember what happened 3 minutes ago, thanks.0

Living 3 hours away from the closest mall- and it's still just a little one
The international bridge in my town that is falling apart, and the 3 year long construction hell zone that comes along with it
When there are onions in my food I didn't know about
When people call the police station, when I'm dispatching, asking why the power is out. I DO NOT KNOW-THE POWER IS OUT FOR ME TOO.0 -

I have a new one this morning.
My friend slept on the sofa in my office last night - he had drunk a few beers and it was not a good idea for him to drive.
He left at about 9AM.
A few minutes ago I came down to the office and it STINKS.
He had used the bathroom (for a HUGE #2 ) and did not flush
ugh
yuck
Gee thanks for the present dude....
Why do people do that ? Surly its a reflex action, you finish you business and you flush.......
I just called him and yelled myself all the way to a sore throat.....0 -
Nothing. Too old for that nonsense anymore.0

I need a minimum wage earning kid with pictures on the cash register because he's too inept to learn how to add or subtract
When I worked a cash register, a LONG time ago.... I needed to understand basic math.... If the electronic cash register isn't functioning properly these days, the cashier simply can't do the transaction, because they aren't capable of computing the change in their head. If I want to get less coins back in change, I'll give some extra coins, to round out the change coming back to me. If the bill is $27.47, I might give $30.47, expecting $3 back. I might give $32.47 to get a $5 back. Cashiers look at me like I'm an alien, and I am trying to destroy their day. I now, always, tell them exactly how much I am giving them, so they can punch in that exact amount, and their cash register will TELL them how much to give me back.
Some time ago, I was in Tim Hortons, and the cashier, who wasn't a teenager.... counted my change backwards to me, old school..... the bill was $12.75, I gave her a $20.... and she gave me a quarter, and said, that's 13, then $7 and said, and $20. I couldn't believe it, it's been so long since anyone has done that.0 -

And everyone does it everywhere, now, too. Any store you go into, they have some 'feature' item displayed at the cashier, and you're asked if you're interested. The only thing I remember from a 40 hr course I took on salesmanship, was..... 'Create a need.' That line stuck with me.... and I now fully understand exactly what it is they are trying to do.0 -
