    That's alright, I don't really like their coffee anyway, I usually just make my own at home. Mine doesn't cost $3 a cup :D

    Oh boy. I have a ton too, most of them involving asshat customers, since I work retail. My favorite exchange with a customer went like this:

    Me: Hi, how are you doing today?
    Them: Silence...."What?"
    Me: How are you, today?
    Them: "Oh"

    Also, I don't drive, don't even have a car, so as a pedestrian, I almost get run over every fucking day, because people have no patience. You're in a car, with a roof over your head! Wait until I cross the street before you start driving!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:

    I have another one - women with jogging strollers. Not all women, but why do some women feel like they own the sidewalk? Yesterday we were nearly run down while walking the dog. And I see women jog off sidewalks into the street in front of cars while they're ignoring walk/don't walk signs - did I miss the "I'm special and it's all about ME when I'm jogging with my child" rule?

    Everyone should work in retail for 6 months, like they make some people enroll in the Army or do community work when they finish school! It'd make everyone realise how horrible others can be sometimes.

    One of my pet peeves - my housemates not wiping the counter-top down after they've finished cooking. Srsly, it takes two f*ckin' seconds... :x :oops:

    People who write checks at checkout counter. I see your debit/ credit card...use it!

    This is more of an annoyance, but the tones that air during the "emergency warning system".....can't stand them.

    OH MY GOD those are meant to scare the very crap out of you right then and there, right?

    Talk about LOUD!

    and they always seem to happen along right as soon as the toddler finally FINALLY goes down for his nap :roll:

    OMG I hate that! I was an English major and I'm extremely anal about grammar and spelling. I hate when people say "Let me ax you sumpthin". And then the idiot kids who just want to sound cool by saying "Right thurrr" and "I ain't scurred." I feel like an old lady, but come on...and pull up your pants! :lol:

    I think someone mentioned this already, but I can't stand the people that you're trying to have a conversation with and they're texting away on their phones. Then they have the nerve to say "I'm sorry, what?" No, I'm not going to repeat myself because you feel the person on the other side of the phone is far more interesting than me. I noticed one of my best friends doing this and so I shifted my story and said "...so that's when I found out I was pregnant....by your ex...." and all she said was "Oh really?" still looking down at her phone and texting away. Couldn't believe it :fp:

    me too! and even worse when EDUCATED people, for example, ehhhh maybe..the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA
    cannot learn to say Nu-Cleeeeee-ar???? Gimme a break, your advisers didn't tell you this on a daily basis?
    You look like a fool GW.

    some of the worst ones i hear around here (NJ/PA) are when people accentuate the wrong syllable
    or leave off or add "s" inappropriately
    OR use singulars as plurals and vice versa

    the one that bothers me most is the word "license"
    so many people around here refer to license in the plural
    as in:

    Q: "did you get your driver's license yet?"
    A: "oh yep, i passed the test and i got them"

    (how many licenses did you get for pete's sake??)
    peace,

    It drives me insane when a co-worker comes into my office but doesn't say anything and stands there waiting until I turn around (the way my office is positioned my back is to the door). SAY SOMETHING!!!! I can feel their presence, but I'll be damned if I'll turn around. I just keep doing what I'm doing.

    :lol: I'm getting to that point! I used to be one of those that tried to see the good in everyone and always thought people deserved second chances. Not anymore. I'm as cynical as a cynic can be.
