Things That Aggravate

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

x2, that reminds me, I need to get some "no soliciting" stickers for my front door.

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.

Actually Riff, I changed the spelling in the thread title.. Mispellings, obscure titles, and "cutsie" titles KILL the search engine results.

Thanx; Scott, and I was thinking I had one on that SOMEBEACH character. Damn, I've been out-smarted by the creator. Now that really aggravates me!!! LOL!!!

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


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

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!

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 !!!!!!!
