Random Things that Irk You...

:lolabove:

Just a pet peeve of mine. Sitting down at the table with a cap on would lead to a severe correction when I was a kid. Also had to wash hands/face and tuck the shirt in, I'm not a stickler with the shirt.

I bet you're not from the participation trophy generation.
 
Drivers who sit in the fast lane. Especially those who don't move even after cars pass them in the right lane.

They think that they're doing the public a favor by slowing down speeders. They're actually creating a bigger problem by making speeders pass on the right in the other lanes. Or maybe they're just inconsiderate idiots.
 
The word "taters" in the "What did you have for dinner thread" not sure why it bothers me.

When I was in the service I never dated military women, most that I met were very arrogant. I think they join to go from being a 4 in the real world to a military 8. On the way back from a deployment there were some ladies sitting in front of us on the plane, we had stopped in Ireland and of course had a few drinks while waiting to re board the plane. So once we get back airborn the pilot announces "Ladies and Gentleman you are now back in US airspace" so everyone is a little drunk and going crazy. My buddy says, ladies what does it feel like to go from a 9 to a 3 in just a few hours..... There was dead silence, I about pissed myself laughing
I say taters! Ha

When it hasn't snowed all winter, and now they're calling for snow on the Saturday that I plan on taking my boys to the TN/SC game. I really don't feel like driving I-40 from Asheville to Knoxville in the snow...in fact I won't...so that stinks.

Another thing is making an issue out of a non-issue, like the whole Starbucks/Christmas thing. I didn't know a single person who agreed with rev Kevin James, and yet so many people were adamant that it was actually a thing...kinda like the breastfeeding-in-public "war". Come to think of it, the last time I went to the store when they were calling for snow, there was still plenty of bread and milk available. :question:
That stretch of I-40 from Maggie valley to Newport is awful. That's usually how I go back home from Georgia. Go up to waynesville and hit 40.

The snow may happen before Saturday -- that early start time sucks though
 
Happened last night...

It irks me when some jackass is driving slow and impeding my progress on my way home from a particularly bad day at work, thereby causing me to act like a rude, impatient a**h*** driver behind him... and then that slow jackass who's still in front of me has the audacity to turn onto my street because it turns out he's one of my neighbors....

Getting to be you can't even count on anonymous schmuckery anymore.

there is no fast lane,the speed limit is the same in all lanes :)

Not using the Oxford comma.

People who are happy when it snows, especially those who have no intention of going out in it to make a living. They are just as annoying as coffee snobs and beer snobs.

People over 40 who feel it is cool to constantly use current slang.
My lady friend who is 44 keeps saying cray cray be-atch,
dissin', etc. DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!:crazy:
 
The elderly lady in the grocery store check out line that watches the clerk scan every item. Then when finished will question the cost of an item, which leads to a price check in the aisle. Finally it is all tallied up and she pulls out her coupons. So the clerk calls her/his supervisor over the approve a revision to the talley for the coupons. At least one of the coupons will have expired and she will argue with the clerk about at least one other coupon she is trying to use for which she did not even buy a product. She then pulls out the checkbook, slowly writes the check, waits for the clerk to give her the receipt. Then she begins to put everything back in her purse and slowly walks away obviously thinking the store cheated her. Meanwhile the other 37 people in the line have stabbed themselves in the eye.
 
Add to that people who use the self checkout who
A) are buying a month's worth of groceries for a family of 5.

B) Despite a lifetime of watching cashiers scan groceries, have no idea how to operate the sophisticated machinery used to check oneself out.

Somebody's still working out some lingering childhood issues from all those trips to the store with Granny.
