Red face Real life stuff that drives you crazy

1. I hate when I walk in to a store and the employees are on the phone staring at you but won't get off to help you.

2. I hate that customer service in 9 out of 10 places is shit.

I fugured I would start with simple stuff instead of going on a major Jimmy K rant. lol

Will add more later

What annoys you (real life stuff, not forum stuff)

People talking on their cell phone, applying makeup, eating full meals, reading the newspaper, etc. while driving is my biggest pet peeve

People are bad enough drivers without adding this to the equation

since I dont have a car I tweak what gerk said about people talking on their cell phones, or talking in groups while on public transportation....

i will not generalize, but its usually one ethnic group

also, people that cross the street in SUPER slow motion even though they know you are waiting for them so you can make a turn...

Parents who coach sports to make sure their kids get plenty of playing time. Clients who try and tell you how to do your job. Sports stars who make millions and then get on the radio or TV and you can tell they may have a 3rd grade education. Hillary Clinton on TV.

mrwho reminds me of another thing. U go to a busy intersection (4lane rd)and are in the left lane the light is red. the douche bag in front of you turns on his blinker when the light turns green! now you are stuck and won't amke the light because this asshole didn't let you know he was turning and could have moved to the right lane!

Oh boy the client that knows everything and acts as if they know your job better then you has got to go

Also, I have no issues with law enforcement. However, the cop that talks on his/her cell phone WHILE driving even though it's illegal to do such in New Jersey is so annoying.

MAurice Clarett, Marcus Vick and the guy who was on the Rams and then in Canada then back in the NFL and he has like 22 charges against him. One of them involved stalking his girl or something, the name escapes me.

Thats mainly the things that annoy me, I can deal with bills and taxes.

I usually eat out for lunch 3 or 4 times a week. When any of my co-workers and I go out to lunch, we take turns buying lunch. It really only seems to be common sense and it always works out. I have noticed though that if multiple women go out to eat together its always dutch. This wouldn't bother me except I always seem to get behind them when its time to pay out. Then they will make a big deal about "my ticket has tea and I only had water." Totally oblivious to the crowd of people behind them trying to pay out and get back to work.

Also, at a convenience store waiting in line while some idiot in front of me searches for 10 minutes to find exact change(also usually women digging through their purses) If it cost 4.91, for crying out loud, give the clerk a 5 and move the f*ck on.

Last but not least, waiting in line at a store while someone takes an hour to look at each stupid scratch off(a legal form of gambling in my state) and buying as many combos as they can as slowly as possible, until they have spent all their money. They are usually accompanied by little children without shoes and holes in their clothes, who they have just screamed at telling them they can't afford any candy. You see they spent all on cigarettes and lotto.

Yea one time couple years ago I'm at lunch and already running late. Get behind these 2 people that just had lunch together. Well they decide to split the bill down the middle down to the freaking penny. Only problem was they needed a pen and paper to do it. I wanted to throw the damn dollar at them and tell them to round that sht to the nearest dollar.
