What Grinds Your Gears? :)

[Lethal Lullaby]

• When my phone goes off and I'm trying to look for it only to find out that it was in my pocket the whole time. (How dumb could I get?)
• When parents don't walk their children across the Street.
• Parents who let their kids run like maniacs through the store.
• Anything made of wool.

I know how someone complaining about gas prices can rub someone the wrong way if you don't have a car, but if I'm helping your ass out and not even asking for gas money from you, you need to shut-up and keep your comments to yourself. I found that beyond rude have a the decensy to keep your comments to yourself if someone is going out their way to help you out.

I would be tempted to kick said person out of my car while on the freeway

Hollywood really grinds my gears with the remake craze. Seriously, look up how many remakes are in production now.

RoboCop.
House Party.
Short Circuit.
The Never Ending Story.
War Games.
Child's Play.
Escape From New York.
Lethal Weapon.
Seven Samurai.
My Fair Lady.
Red Dawn.

And the list goes on and on.

Or the lack of imagination for new toons .. I can see the Popples resurgence in the horizon.

That toddlers and tiaras show. That show bugs the hell out out me?
It's just a show where parents force their children into beauty pagents just to win MONEY.

I agree with you about that, RDZ. That show is so pointless. I also hate 19 Kids and Counting. That show is also just dumb. That mother should stop having kids.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

[愛]

Maybe, I'm so confused.

I don't even want to give birth to one. I think I'll adopt.

Then we can go back to the good ol' days when you'd send me sad messages asking why you weren't on my Myspace Top 8.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Eww. Myspace.

A good reason you might prefer giving birth to one after all, instead of adoption.

It's usually small things that irritate me....like someone having a shopping cart full to the top and approaching the express lane (where it quite clearly states 10 items or less) then looking bewildered/ pissed when the cashier says she can't take you in that lane.

The GPS constantly bothering me with useless information...then NOT telling me something I really need to know. KROW and I were driving to my home state for vacation and the damn thing decided not to tell us we needed to turn or bear left/right until AFTER we went the wrong direction.

People I care for making me go back and forth for stupid crap. I don't mind getting you a drink or tissues....but make a damn list! I DO NOT want to enter and exit your room 50 times for things I can get all in one trip.

On that note...people who ring their call bell and then look at me like I have three heads when I enter and ask what they need. "What? Am I ringing? Well I didn't ring my bell." Really? then who did? Then as I walk out "but while you're here...." UGH!

When I worked at the grocery store it was little things, too:

*People who asked me to bag their milk only to grab it by the handle on the bottle and not the bag straps. (This could be chalked up to not wanting it to leak everywhere though)
*People who had one or two bags of groceries in a cart, take the cart outside to the first "cart corral" take the bags out of the cart then traverse the parking lot to their car. (Why?)
*People who would stand at a register with no cashier and just expect that someone would come serve them, especially when they are one of like 2 people in the store.
*People who can't read the signs we posted that say that a certain system was down. I don't know how many people would come in and get frustrated that our electric bill payment computer was on the fritz when we had a sign saying as much on the front door, or how many carts full of groceries I had to put back after someone couldn't read a sign on the door and EVERY FREAKIN REGISTER that said that our connection to the EPT Food Stamp system was down.
*People who had said cards and came up with carts full of junk foods, and what's worse, when they didn't have sufficient funds to purchase the buggy full, would put back essentials (bread, milk, eggs, meat) to buy a 12 pack of soda.
(To combine the last 2...a lady came into the store with $20 for cigarettes and her EBT card. Since she was a regular I made it a point to let her know the EBT system was down. She complained that she really needed milk, then proceed to buy cigarettes and with the change some useless thing that would have cost as much as a gallon of milk. *le sigh*)

Working in a grocery store is nothing but little annoyances. Also...huge annoyances.

Indeed, any customer service job is a little hell. I try to be extra nice to cashiers when I go to a store, because I've been there.
