Maztinho Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I'm not talking about anything dramatic like racism, or the like, just ordinary everyday stuff that isn't really that bad, but hits that little nerve in your head. People talking on their cellphones while driving can't be included, because we all hate that. My list. 1- Socks and sandals. Seriously, what's the matter with you if you go out in public like this? 2- Big Dog shirts. I don't know why, but seeing someone wearing these things triggers a punch-in-the-face impulse. 3- 7-10 year old girls wearing anything that has Sexy, Hottie, etc. on it. Way to promote getting knocked up by 13. Good parenting is a gift. 4- Old People. I would fully support any admendment to the constitution that allows us to burn people over the age of 75.
Special K Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Racism and people who talk on their cellphones while driving. And the Dutch.

I agree with this one, particularly when it's written across their asses. I mean, I don't want to look, but I want to know what it says at the same time.

Guest Smues Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 What pissed me off is when using legally owned software is more difficult than pirated software. I had to phone Microsoft twice today to activate my copy of Windows XP. The first time was because I formatted so whatever, but the 2nd time it said my hardware had changed, when it fact I hadn't changed a damn thing.
Spaceman Spiff Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 People, predominantly females, who tuck their ears into their hats.
CanadianGuitarist Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 I work in Wal*Mart Electronics, so I often sell TV's. If the maintenance guys are busy, or just out of common courtesy, I'll have to carry them out for the customer. Carried out one two years ago. Bumped into a guy. Said guy was wearing socks and sandals. Refused to apologise. People who say the following things: Is today the 15th? "All day" People who call me Phil because my last name is Collins, then laugh hysterically like its never been said before. My mother's name is Rhonda, she has a double whammy. If something doesn't scan properly in my cash register, customers who say "Oh! Well it must be free!" This thread may have been custom designed for KKK.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Like baseball hats? I don't wear those, but I routinely have my ears covered whenever I wear a beanie; it beats having my ears stick out like a goober.
Slayer Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 If something doesn't scan properly in my cash register, customers who say "Oh! Well it must be free!" Here's a webcomic for you, then A similar cashiering annoyance was when people's items might get mixed up on the conveyor and I would accidentally ring up an item of the next person in line, which would lead to this exchange 1st person: "That's not my item, that's theirs. *pointing to 2nd person*" 2nd person: "Oh that's okay, they can pay for it!" Hahaha...

Said guy was wearing socks and sandals. Refused to apologise. THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE FUCKING DEVIL!!! Seriously, what is wrong with people? Sandals are for BARE feet. Hence the lack of covering around the foot. Not to put your freaking gray ass socks and parade around in. Not really an everyday thing, but whenever anything rings up incorrectly where I work the cashier pages me and tells me that it's not ringing up correctly. It's not that they want me to tell them the price, they just want to let me know. One of them got pissed and wanted me written up for telling her to "Tell the front end manager, they are the ones that can change prices." Moo-bitch comes in on her days off... wearing socks and sandals.
Slayer Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 As long as we're talking about footwear pet peeves: Black socks with white shoes

Hahaha... THAT FUCKING REMINDS ME! I'm going to strangle, rape and eat the next person who tells me, while I'm waiting for the rightful buyer of a new TV to pull up in his/her vehicle, "Oh, go ahead and put that in my car". A guy who used to work with us, a now film-school grad, is working on a pilot re: his experiences in retail. That's no accident.
Hawk 34 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Oh, man. I got a verbal lashing from an ex for wearing black socks with my white gym shoes once. I was just working out inside the house and I swear I didn't hear the end of it for at least an hour. It's not like it's a habit for me but she made me fear black socks.

Hawk 34 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Here's something that bothers me, people who wear gym shorts for underwear. All it does is ride up and you look really stupid and I have to watch you awkwardly try to adjust yourself without drawing attention. Also, I can't stand people who wear all matching clothes. Like black shorts, black shirt, black shoes.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 If something doesn't scan properly in my cash register, customers who say "Oh! Well it must be free!" I would get that from time to time. I really hated it when we'd have a box, especially a TV, which has a half million barcodes on it and if you don't knowit's tough to find the right one without searching all over it.

Spaceman Spiff Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Like baseball hats?

My friend's sister does that when she wears a hat, and it bug the hell out of me.
haws bah gawd Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 People who use the word "as" in place of the words "because" or "since". FUCK YOU People who say "UM" a lot. People who drop their kids off at the 360 or PS2 stations in my store, and leave them there all fucking day. The local Gamestop is not a babysitting service you lazy fucks. This young middle-eastern kid that we have dubbed 'Pablo' comes in the store every Friday and Saturday and stays from open to close (10-9). I once witnessed Pablo watch FFVII Advent Children for the full 11 hours, without moving once from in front of the system. Female radio personalities who mumble nearly every word they say, making them impossible to understand. Im talking to you Delila.
Golgo 13 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 The immature, low class, white trash heathens who don't even have the good sense to frame their posters. It raises the context of that poster so much more with a proper frame. Gawd.

JST Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Old people on Price Is Right that get called to come on down, and they automatically assume they can go on stage. Old people in general.
alfdogg Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 A couple more job-related ones: "You havin' fun yet?" Or, if you're on the floor trying to stock something on the bottom shelf "Tee hee, caught ya layin down on the job!"

Special K Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Whenever I go to coffee with the other engineers in the office. The ladies literally hem and haw and giggle over the pastries and shit. The same damn types of pastries that have probably been there all month. Me: Coffee (or Earl Grey) *tip* Other Male coworker: Latte *tip* And the women never tip. Can you imagine going to a drive-thru and giggling about the order? Ohhhhh I feel like a *double* cheeseburger but I KNOW I shouldn't. Maybe Bacon.... Ohhhhh that's so SINFUL! I swore to myself I'm just getting a chicken sandwich. That's it. That's it. Ohhhhh to hell with it! It's TUESday. Give me a double cheeseburger! *giggle giggle giggle* That's pretty much what they do over pastries and whether they should get a latte or mocha. And these are like 40 year old WOMEN. I mean they're nice ladies and all, and they're fine to work with, but this is why I've taken to just drinking the office piss-coffee or bringing a diet Vault or MD to work. It's like the only excitement they get out of the day. I've seen them take 45 minutes on a 15 minute coffe break and come back all giggly and then complain about how much work they have.
