Lack Of Common Sense

[Ripper 0]

I see a few people here complaining about people who speed while driving. Get out of the fucking way, then.

Because its not like people are walking in a parking lot or outside of your home.

 

going anything over 5-6 miles over a speed limit in a parking lot or residential neighborhood is ridiculous. WTF do you need to go 40 miles an hour in a 15mph speed zone when all it saves you 2-3 seconds.

When i'm in work and there's a sign on the till saying NO PHARMACIST TODAY and people come up to you and say "So no pharmacist today then?" i mean, duh. Some of them take a step further though, when i kindly explained to a woman that we didn't have a pharmacist and she would have to walk 50 yards up the street to buy her sleeping pills, she started giving me lip because i wouldn't break the law to serve her, she really didn't take telling:

 

Me "Sorry, i can't sell you those without a pharmacist present"

Her "But i have them all the time"

Me: "Sorry its against the law to sell Nytol one a night without a pharmacist"

Her: "But isn't that your pharmacist by there?"

Me: "No that's my superviser"

Her: "So can't she sell them to me?"

Me: "No 'cause she's not a pharmacist"

 

And it goes on....

 

Oh and there's a bunch of rich private school drop-outs in my economics class who are so godamn stupid it's unbelievable, they are repeating the year for like the 45th time and they still know jack-shit. It's like get a job already you rich bastards.

 

Oh lastly, 17 year old who drive around in brand new cars with private number plates and pretend that they bought the cars themselves.AAARGH.

Oh, and people who get pissed off at me for asking for their ID on a credit card. Hey, they would thank me if their damned card ever got stolen, but for some reason some people just do not understand the concept of only being able to use a credit card that has their name on it.

I don't mind being asked to show an ID, but I have a problem with being asked to remove it from its clear protective sleeve. Every time I get asked for ID, it's "Could you remove that from the cover please?"

 

Why? What the hell is the difference? It's clear...you can see my picture from inside the sleeve. It's a pain in the ass to do take it out, and all they ever do is just glance at it for no more than half a second. Why do I have to take it out? Why? Why? Why?

[The Metal Maniac 0]

Hmm...diabetic people who weigh close to 400 pounds...hard to imagine that.

 

Now your lack of common sense is starting to piss me off.

 

I didn't say diabetic people. I never even hinted at diabetic people.

 

Some people, believe it or not, have DIFFERENT OPINIONS *gasp* on what tastes too sweet, not sweet enough, etc. You don't have to be diabetic to think that normal Coke tastes too sweet. You just have to think to yourself "You know, I think that normal Coke tastes too sweet, so I'll buy a diet and see how that tastes."

Because it still might be fake.

 

We got snow this week (I'm in the Philly area), and it bugs me when people don't clean off all the snow from their cars. they'll clean off the windshield and back window, and leave the rest of the snow there. Especially when I'm behind them and have to deal w/ snow flying off the top onto my windshield.

OK, public transportation is starting to get on my nerves.

 

On the drive to work, I take the left lane for this stretch on Route 30 because buses also go this route. Here's what I can't stand -- the buses stop for people like every 50 feet! Jesus, walk an extra block or two you lazy bastards...

I'm that way with Mountain Dew. Diet Mountain Dew is infinitely better.

Why don't you take the bus to work.

 

You know why.

 

Because you paid for your car, you bought the gas, so you can drive it. They pay to get on the bus, that shit should come to them.

 

Hell, they already have to go through the hell of public transportation, now you want them doing extra walking? Fuck that. 0 feet beats 50 feet everyday.

People will ask me all the time "Do I need to take it out?" I'm like, "No, it's fine where it is, I just need to see it." Although the people who try to cover up the photo or put their finger over the name piss me off. I don't care how bad of a driver's license photo it is, I still need to see it and the name. Besides, driver's license photos aren't supposed to be good.

 

And one the subject of credit cards, it pisses me off that I have "See ID" written on the back of my debit card and yet no one ever actually asks for my ID. I'm like, that is a lawsuit just waiting to happen.

Ugh. I get those people all the time too. Luckily I get a lot of people who actually appreciate that and thank you for doing it. The problem is when somebody's using their spouse's card, because even if it's a joint account, we're not supposed to accept it without their name on the card (or unless they sign it themselves, if it's a Visa or Mastercard).

 

I also had one girl last night practically beg her boyfriend not to sign his card in front of me because if he lost it, someone else could use it. Well, if the person checking their card does their job and compares the signatures, they can call a manager and void the transaction, so no big deal. Secondly, why the hell wouldn't you carry your ID with you? Especially since in this area there isn't exactly a lot of public transportation, so you probably drove to get here and would have to carry your driver's license.

[Guest stardust]

We have the exact same policy, J, and I'll have wives saying "but our checks have both of our names on them" or "the addresses are the same" or something like that, and I'm thinking "And you could also be going through a divorce and trying to max out your ex-husband's credit cards and ruin his credit in order to get back at him." And in that case, it would be our asses that would get in trouble (meaning the store's).

[JHawk 0]

I know a guy who won't go into Circuit City because his ex-wife did that very thing to him. Not my store and before I started working there, thank God, but that's exactly why the policy's in place.

 

Too bad I'm one of the few who actually follows it without a manager in view.

Here's my issue with that. I like to drive the limit; maybe five miles over. I fully recognize that this puts me in the right-hand lane. So I'm over in the slow lane, and some fucker will invariably ride my bumper for at least half a mile. Most of the time, they can get over, but they want to do fucking 70 mph in the slow lane. And in the rare case that they can't get over, deal. Unless I see a pregnant woman in my rear-view, I'm not speeding up one bit.

 

People who ride slow in the left do need to be slapped around a bit, though.

I would take the bus if it wasn't for the fact my job is 30 miles away. That would be a LOT of transfers.

 

I took the public transportation system to and from school for two-and-a-half years. I drove to a mall lot, parked and took the bus into glorious downtown Pittsburgh. There's no feeling quite like waiting for a bus that's 20 minutes late and seeing some homeless guy peeing on this building that has a plaque on it claiming it to be a Landmark Site.

 

Let these lazy pieces of shit walk an extra block or two to reach their bus -- think of all the calories they would burn.

Well it's the only scenario thats funny.

 

Someone who is grossly over-weight buys like $30 of food, then ask for a diet-whatever. It's just funny.

 

 

When someone skinny asks for it, it's not the same.

Or a salad.

 

In high school I sat at this one lunch table with some FAT (and I mean fat) chick that would never get a lunch, but man did she eye up everyone's food. It was later that I found out she had a crush on me and didn't want to eat in front of me -- like that would have scored points with me or something...

[Lord of The Curry 0]

What if she started eating the food in a seductive manner?

When I used to work in the audio section of my store, it would drive me nuts(not to mention damage my hearing) when people who listen to hip hop, for no apparent reason, stand directly in front of the high end stereos, like the Tower of Power the WWF used to advertise(it looks like a bloody Podracer) and blast this hip hop, subwoofer maxed out, the whole deal and practically make the entire store shake. Then they walk off, leaving it booming. Most of these people are doing this to a $400 or so stereo, but by God, when they actually buy a stereo, tyhey go and grab the cheapo $60 Audiophase piece of you know what. Bakas(as in Japanese for idiot, not how Corey Laz uses it). I ws also once asked while wearing a green shirt and shorts if I worked in the Walmart I was walking through. Not a bit of blue on me. Thankfully, I was in a good mood and didn't go ballistic. What also drives me nuts is when people POKE me. I've been poked in the back and once I got poked in such a way it sorta went under my ribcage. Jeez, man, just say hello. Does wearing a Best Buy shirt make me something subhuman that you all of a sudden can POKE me? And i'm one of the nicest salesmen in the store, for God's sakes

::pokes you with a stick:: He's a live one!!!

 

 

 

One thing that also bothered me while working is people asking ME (18 years old) where a LIQOUR STORE is. I'm like "Uh...I'm not old enough to drink yet" in my mind but I'm polite enough to point them down the road a few blocks.

It's not about saving time. I'm usually not even in a hurry. We don't have residental neighborhoods like that around here so much, just a lot of chip and seal roads which go on for miles and miles, at least in places where I have to drive. I do 70-75 on these pretty steadily. I usually go about ten mph over.

 

As for people walking or whatever, let me repeat my original statement. Get out of the fucking way then. It's completely impossible to not see/hear a Silverado extended cab blaring Cephalic Carnage, unless you're Helen Keller, or just plain ignorant and expecting me to stop. They'll stop, or hustle across the street when the moment of judgment is closing in, though. Same with ridiculously slow people in front of me that I ride up on. Sure, go ahead and tap the brakes, and I'll smash your car to pieces, break your neck, and take a little jab on my insurance payments. Go ahead and play those games, Mr. 30 in a 35, or 60 on the interstate.

 

I had this one jackoff think he was smart, and brake check me in the fast lane, but he got over pretty quick when I ended up about 3 inches from his back bumper.

 

I'm admittedly a truly horrible person behind the wheel of that truck, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm usually bigger and faster.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I don't think that could be possible.

 

Oh, and speaking of things that piss you off, here's two of them:

 

1) So there I was watching NYPD Blue taped and was fast-forwarding through the breaks. I see a news-at-11 promo pimping a lead story. The story? A GIRL MISSED HER SCHOOL BUS!!!

 

2) In the Pittsburgh area there was this fire that killed two fireMEN and the media coverage of this is making me sick. I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear their families every other minute having a breakdown in front of the cameras. I'm not blaming the families -- I'm blaming the media. I mean, Jesus Christ, let these people grieve in peace and not use them for ratings...

You can't always count on them to do that, and I can guarantee you that you will end up with problems in the future where there are lots of elderly or handicapped people around. Or kids in a residential sub-burb. You are talking about people that either can't physically move out of the way or don't realize that you are coming.

 

On country roads it is a different matter entirely. During the day you are generally okay, but at dusk and at night, I have seen many a truck smashed to bits by crashing into a moose or grizzly. When you're dealing with trees (or a swamp) on both sides and a moose taking up all the space in the road (and believe me, they can and do) you don't have much option. If you are lucky, the sides of the road will be clear and you can ditch the truck.

My biggest pet peeve as far as vehicles are concerned (besides the way morons behave at gas pumps), is driving the wrong way on a one-way street or a split high-way. I see it time and time again in certain places (like Oshawa & Toronto) and it never ceases to amaze me how stupid somebody can be not to realize that all the traffic is going in the opposite direction that they are.

 

My driving instructor when I was first learning to drive 10 years ago was once nearly killed when a maniac was driving the opposite direction on the 401 directly in front him. Fortunately a lane opened up next to him, and he made it out of there.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I once saw some crackhead driving the wrong way down a one-way street in Toronto. Suffice to say those 20 seconds with him swerving the fuck out of everyone's way were 20 of the coolest/scariest seconds of my life.

[Guest Fook]

As bad as downtown Toronto is, I'd still rather drive there than in Montreal. Drivers there are insane.

True that. In Montreal people assume sidewalk = freeway. Quebec, and Montreal in particular, is known for having the worst drivers in North America.

I hate people who order something on the menu and send it back because it has "X" in it when "X" was listed as a part of the dish on the menu.
