It was like, "And oh my god, you'll never guess what happened mayonnaise and lettuce Jimmy's getting married!"

The employee could not figure out what she wanted. I felt really bad for the employee!

Yeah, our Blimpie has a sign to avoid that whole mess. It says something like, "I don't mind if you talk on your cell phone if you don't care if I take the next customer who's ready to order." It definitely sounds a lot better than that though.

I also hate when people are waiting for their orders to come up and walk in and out at least once a minute yakking on their cell phones. Either stay in or stay out!

Amen!

I work at Sonic, and my personal pet peeve is when I answer the speaker and they tell me they aren't ready to order. Umm... HELLO... you pressed the button that says "Press when ready to order"

this is dumb, but I hate boring away messages. If you are going to bother to put one up atleast make it entertaining or informative ('sleeping' is niether)

I have a stupid pet peeve: I absolutely hate it when people call the PM the "head of state". No, the monarch is head of state, the PM is the "head of government". Stupid technicalities that still piss me off.

My other pet peeve is people who pass on the right. My only bit of agressive driving is that I hate when people do this so much, that instead of getting out of their way, I will speed up to block their pass. Horrible , eh?

In other words, Pressed Mods? Mods should have rules and regulations pertaining to their moderating duties.

late ppl

rudeness

ppl who bump into you and don't say sorry

slow drivers

Slow Drivers---if the speed limit says 75, go 75! Not 10, while you look at deer! If you want to look at the deer, pull off on the side of the highway! Just make sure your children don't run out in front of me, I don't slow down!

Parents who go to the store with their children and let them run rampant around the store terrorizing the employees or other customers *sometimes even shoplifting* If you come into my store and do that isht, I'll bust you!!!

People who drive and talk on cell phones. Get a hands free people! Or, at least learn how to drive your SUV's without cutting me off!

Being late, even though I am ALWAYS late!

The stupid people at Wal Mart who weigh 900 pounds, ride around in the rental wheelchairs, have 3 baskets all filled with junkfood and then take up the entire ice cream aisle so you can't push your cart past them!

Or, the lazy people who aren't handicapped, but still park in the handicapped space to wait for their husband that is their brothers nephews sisters cousin first removed to buy their groceries b/c they can't get out of the car!

People that come into my store on their cell phone and get mad at me b/c i don't say hi. If you are involved in a convo, I'm not going to go out of my way to interrupt it!

I know there is more, but I can't think of any!

So my boyfriend & I go to see Collateral last night & guess what we saw there???

If you guessed children, you're right!!!
There were at least 2 babies under 3 months, and over a dozen different kids ranging from 2-8 years old. WTF were those parents thinking? If you wanna see a movie that bad, get a f*^king babysitter or just wait your ass until the DVD comes out. I missed half the movie thanks to babies crying & kids behind talking & asking what was going on & why did the man have a gun.

This kind of shit happens way too often. For the love of god people, leave the kids at home not at R-rated movies.

It should be interesting tonight when I go see AVP. I can hear the cries now.

Oh my yes. I don't think I could really be friends with someone who doesn't like animals. It doesn't make sense.

Oh yeah, and also, weird guys named Ralph who move out of the apartment we're moving into and don't clean so it's all yucky. Dude, I don't want to be cleaning Ralph germs out of the toilet. Sick.

Co-sign on the first one and the second one. I LOVE ANIMALS PERIOD! However, u know some people are allergic so I can understand that. But I hate when folks will see a stray cat and jump at it or actually strike it for no reason!

That's the type of stuff that makes me wanna just jab they careless asses in the mouth.

You should have turned around and said "because he's going to shoot all the jackasses who take their 3 year old kids to R-rated movies."

People who gab incessantly on their cell phones (or HEADSETS) on the bus and then act mad/roll eyes etc when someone else makes noise!! Excuse me Art Vandalay, I really didn't care to hear your whole conversation about your big latex salesman meeting, but you shared it with me anyway.

*BUMP*

My best friend and I's biggest pet peeve is lying! We have been through some troubling times (not her and I) due to lying! The worst is when people fabricate stories just to make themselves look better!! Why can't people just be happy the way they are? Do not make up lies to make yourself look better-- accept yourself the way you are!!

alphaiota · #15 09-19-2004, 08:57 PM
