Things That Aggravate

I am bored so I started concentrating on things that people say that aggrivate me. First of all is when I'm washing my car. Everybobody that passes asks " is mine next" Oh I wish someone would come up with something new. Next is when I'm at a resturant and I have finished eating. My plate has trash on it, a napkin, fork & knife. The waitress asks, " are you through with that???". What does she think. Or when the waitress acts surprised when you give her money and you tell her the rest is for her. What a performance.

When someone says I have too much offset.

When the baby decides to poop right as we're walking out the door to go somewhere. :)

People who can't spell "aggravate" correctly.

My family has always spelled it that way. Now you're messing with my heritage!

Ok; well, how does "Webster's Dictionary" spell it???

I got one, and this is specific to my profession of fixing computers. Typically, I am sitting at someone elses' desk, say in an office somewhere, and someone will come by the office looking for the person who should be sitting there, and they will say, "my Karen, you have changed", or "wow John, you look different today". It's just really corny and stupid and why can't they just say, "oh, hey Bart, do you know where Karen is?"

I also don't like when people say, "Who makes that thing? Hyundai?" :_brickwal

Smart a$$es aggri(a)vate me. ;)

I HATE it when I'm in a crowded checkout line at the store and the person in front of me asks the cashier about how a product works. Or when they are checking out and they have the only item in the store without a bar code. But they never just put it back, they send their kid to the back of the store to get another one.

It's also aggravating to go out to eat and have the table next to you get the Birthday Song. Then to listen to them talk about how clever it was to have the waitresses get together and sing.

This one will get me a lightning bolt down the shorts fer sure.

What aggravates me:

Someone who mods a rig for one thing and brags about how it helps in other areas when it don't.

Man, I put an 'lectric fan in this thang & now it takes off like a bat outta hell!!!

That's just colder-n hell in my book:)

Not really something that people say, but something that really chaps my azz, is when people write checks at stores like Wal*mart, or the grocery store. I mean, COME ON! It's 2009!!! There are PEOPLE BEHIND YOU!!!! EVER HEAR OF A DEBIT CARD?!?!?!?! :evil:

Some times if you need groceries and dont have the money in the bank that day it is easier to write a check. They dont take checks out of your account right away, so if you get paid in a day or two... We used to have to do it all the time.

Sorry for making bad desicions in life and making people wait while we write a check.

I have a thing for impatient people. It has grown here in Reno. A lot of people on this side of town think they are entitled to uber fast service and for people to get out of their way cause they have lots of money.

Well, I guess if you goal is to buy some time then I can understand, and normally I don't care, but when the line is like 10 people deep and you get some old lady writing a check at snail speed, it is annoying. In reality you should be careful with that though. I don't write checks unless the money is in the bank, especially now because a lot of places (and this has happened to me before) do an ACH credit at the end of the day and the money comes out right then and there, regardless of if you are writing a check or using a debit card.

Dude, what the hell does that have to do with it? Trust me, I am a pretty damn patient person actually (hasn't that become apparent to you by now?). When I am behind someone writing a check, I don't say a damn thing, but it does annoy the hell outta me. But in my opinion, what I am talking about has nothing to do with patience OR MONEY. I has to do with COMMON COURTESY. It's the same kinda people who walk into a post office with the stuff they want to send NOT EVEN BOXED UP YET and wait until they get to the counter to fill out all their forms and then discuss EVERY SINGLE SHIPPING OPTION UNDER THE SUN with the clerk while there are 18 people in line waiting. IMO, it's just rude and incredibly inconsiderate. But I AM a patient person, and I AM a kind person, and I NEVER say a damn thing. But it DOES ANNOY ME.

Yeah, we dont have to do it anymore. It really sux if you get caught with your pants down, get charged extra money and all.

I was just throwing my aggrivating thing in. Wasnt calling you out.

There have been many times where snooty people throw a fit because they have to wait a little longer for their service. I know I can lose my patience but come on, lighten up people.

Oh I agree. I lived in Boca Raton, FL for 7 years. That place is simply UNCANNY. The rudeness level there is OUT OF THIS WORLD. If anyone has ever spent any time in that town, you will know exactly what I mean, otherwise it is almost impossible to put into words.

Somethings that annoy me are: People that get right up on my arse when I'm in the left lane and doin 65 (almost the speed limit). People who seem to get annoyed when I'm checking out at the grocery store and realize I forgot something and leave the cashier standing there while I run and get it. Then they really seem to be annoyed when I reach for my checkbook. People that don't want to let me back in after I've passed them on the right for miles after the "Right lane is blocked sign." I just don't know what's wrong with people these days. Like people behind you that honk when you're in the Drive-thru window at the Bank (you've been waiting almost as long as they have) and they start honking before you can finish filling out your deposit slip. And they relly get antsy when you send the carrier to the cashier because you need a pen. Go figure.

Another thing, I'm standing in the parking lot of a shopping mall and a guy ask "How do you get to downtown from here?"(let's see if ya did a 180 degree turn you could see all those tall buildings, I would assume you'd go that direction) So I just told him "My brother-in-law takes me."

Personally, I always thought if a person is going to (for example) a particular grocery store or particular gas station and they know for sure their going to be purchasing stuff @ that time (i.e. groceries, gas) and going to pay by check and NOT just casually shopping... why they don't pre-fill out a check (i.e. store's name...even pre-sign) then when they get to the register, they only have to fill out the total. Saves ALOT of time that way...I've done it that way in the past, pre-debit card era.

I absolutely HATE when people come up to me to ask me about my VX (or Mustang GT) and it's REALLY only for them to use as a conversation starter which quickly changes to them babbling on..and on...like they are lonely souls who really don't care one iota 'bout your vehicle...just want to talk your ear off!

I absolutely HATE when people come up to me when I'm re-fueling the VX (especially when gas prices were really high) and say "Hey, I'll bet that thing gets great mileage...it's so small...I should get me one of those...sooooo what kind of mpg do you get?" A: I tell them the truth and then have to listen to them babble on about how it can't be so, with it being so "small". Must be something wrong...etc... B: I tell them the absolute best mpg I've ever achieved in 9 years (23 mpg) and THEN listen to them say...wow, I thought it did better than that! OR, C: I completely 'lie' and say 31mpg and listen to them say..."That's pretty good....Who makes it??" Which usually leads to more B.S.....Scion...Suzuki...etc...etc...

I completely despise anyone stupid enough to approach me to tell me how ugly the VX is...ask the last few people how THEY felt when I was done with them.

Totally hate when I park FAR away from a public place (bar, store, ice-cream stand, etc...) and the lot is not crowded yet some smuck pulls in & parks right next to me, nice & close with tons of empty spaces much closer to the place of interest... reminds me of another thread :rolleyes:

LOL...THAT never fails. The VX is a gawker magnet, there's nothing you can do...:laughing:

---

Huh??? I'm confused. Wouldn't a 360 degree turn have the person simply spin himself around in a circle and be facing the exact same direction again??? I guess if you told him enough times to do it, then he'd get dizzy and forget about why he wanted to know how to get downtown.

Hey Jolly, could you please send me a photo of yourself so I won't accidently see you somewhere and start talking your ear off...:yesy::yesy::yesy:

I hate solicitors who come to my front door and start by pretending they are interested in me or my dog or whatever. Just say what you're selling so I can kick you off my porch. Then when you tell them you're not interested they want to know WHY. NOYB.....just leave.

I also HATE to be out in public with my family and hear people using profanity. It's MF this and MF that with no regard for who's around them. :mado2::madb2::mado:

Yep, like the other day I was in IHOP for breakfast. I ordered eggs and sausage. The waitress asked me "how do you like your eggs?" I answered "I like-em just fine" she said "No I mean how do you like them cooked?" I answered " I like-em better that way." I then asked her if it was link sauage or patty? she said "link" I asked her how many links do ya get? She said "4". I told her that would be great, but could I get all 4 of mine still tied together ? She said she would see. In a couple of minutes I hear this noise from the grill area (I think I heard the mf word) and I see this chef's hat stick out from under the grill and look at me. My waitress came back and told me the cook had gone thru 3 boxes and the best he could do was 2 pair. I told her that was ok I'd try to eat-em that way. I think she even mumbled something as she walked off. Good service is so hard to get these days.

Neighbors dogs barking non-stop for hours.

I have 2 dogs and every one of my neighbors has at least 1 dog. I understand that dogs bark, I get that. But non-stop, ruin your dinner, cant sleep with your windows open is a bit much.


I just fixed the problem at 4am this morning when his dog woke me up. I went over and gave him a piece of my mind. I don't think it will happen again.

Not really a thread jack, just seemed like the best spot to vent.

Yeah, it's funny, the Australian blokes who just brought me my Falcon were like, "mate, just wait until you get her on the road, the comments and questions are non stop". I just smiled and said, "yeah, I know all about that". They had trouble believing me until one of them saw the VX, and he said, "who's black truck is that parked down there (I had it out of the garage and on the street at the moment), what the hell is it?" It was funny.

:laughing: Oh man, you would hate my brother. I've got a pretty bad mouth on me, but he will be like "MF this" and "eff that" just about anywhere, and his voice carries. It is a little embarrassing sometimes. But, personally, I don't believe in censorship so rock on brutha, just don't be suprised when some beach gives you a dirty look or worse!! ;)

I have a dog, she barks, but when she starts going in the back yard, I bring her in. No one needs or wants to hear that for more than a few minutes. It's like a crying baby. My rear neighbors kitty (or is it kiddy) corner to us have like 3 dogs and those @$5holes leave em out allllllll day and they bark and bark and bark. R E D I C U L O U S.

And speaking of babies, who here just LOOOOVVVESS to go to a 9:00pm showing of a rated R movie just to hear a baby cry in the theater.

Sorry, you chose to spawn, therefore, you have LOST your movie theater priveldges. Please kindly GET OUT. :_brickwal

LOL, the other day I pulled up behind a lady in the drive thru mailbox lane at the post office. You know, the little 1 way segment of pavement that goes by the mailboxes so you can drop your mail without getting outta the car. Well, she decided to pull up to the box, and then she commenced to write her check out for her bills RIGHT THERE. The mail wasn't even ready. I could see what she was doing in her side mirror.

As my patience slooooowly dribbled away, I finally gave her a beep from the VX's oh so tough sounding horn (:rolleyes:) and she like got startled and snapped out of it. She waved out the window with a "I'm sorry" kinda wave and pulled through so I could drop my mail. No harm done, but why the hell would she think it would be ok to do that there? And if you are going to do that, at least move if someone pulls up behind you. She was just in la-la land and didn't even think to look back every now and then.

And an even better one at the same mail drop. A lady in a mini-van in front of me at the mail drop. We both pulled in at the same time. She stops, fiddles with her envelopes for about 60 seconds, and then GETS out of her car, goes to the open back window, hands the stack of mail to her little kid (maybe 4 or 5 years old) in the car seat in the back so HE could drop the mail for her (isn't that cute? NO!). So right when she got out and handed the mail to the little kid, she sees me sitting there, awe struck at her and what she is doing, she gets embarrassed, and then tries to yank the mail back from the brat in order to expedite the process. But the kid didn't wanna let go (the "I wanna do it myself!" baby from Mad TV comes to mind here). She strong arms the stack of envelopes from the kid (who could barely reach the slot from his car seat mind you) and gets the job done. Then she frantically hopped back in and took off. But seriously, WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH POSSESS PEOPLE TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT????

i just saw a guy the other day park as far from the store as humanly possible, literally the very last spot in the entire parking lot in his nissan GTR... guy in a prius backs into the space next to him very poorly, nearly hitting the GTR.. there wasnt another car within 150 ft of them:_confused


also hate when people get mad over stuff they did... customer called in the other day says i need tires in this size what do you have, i gave them an accurate price over the phone, customer comes into the store and the tire size they told me is for a 16" rim but they have optional 17" rims on the car.. customer starts yelling at me and telling me they are gonna report me to all sorts of people because i told them a price over the phone then changed it when they got into the store :rollb:

in general i get aggravated when people choose stupid places to do things...

saw a lady in her car in a parking lot stop in the middle of an isle to talk on her cell phone.. she was surrounded by at least 3-4 available parking spaces, she sat there on her phone for a good 5-6 minutes while cars had to drive around her..

when people stop in an exit doorway to talk on their cell phones, even if its beautiful outside

when people are waiting for a train on the platform.. directly in front of the entryway to the platform

had a customer come in.. while waiting for his car he has to change his baby but we dont have a changing table in the restroom, so we say ok use the desk in the managers office, we clear it for him... he throws the soiled diaper in the trashcan in the office!

Everybody

I basically just hate people. The one's I know are fine but, strangers can just get lost.

I hate mind numbing advertising. The audio and video are made to alter and influence your mind. Leave me alone you F-ers !!!!!!!:mado::madb::mady::upsetgray
