1). All of the people who “order groceries” thus causing me to dodge or be blocked by store employees pushing around minivan-sized carts.

2) In the same vein, DoorDash or any food delivery service. I never eat food in my car so if I go to “The Border”, I am going inside but there are 20 DoorDash and drive through orders in front of me.

I’ve seen people have to wait 45 mins. or longer for their food.

Close the dining room if you don’t have the manpower to serve all of your customers. :smash:

3) People who do not stack their used plates/cups for their server at a restaurant to make it easier for the clean-up crew.

4). People currently complaining about showing a Walmart worker their receipt if asked. They are just doing their job, cut them some slack.

5) People looking for confrontation at all times. (See #4 above.)

That’s all for now.

Did you catch a flight this morning?

I was raised around people who weren't spiritual at all, probably agnostics more than anything. I've always felt there's a higher power, you just look around, this didn't happen by accident, sentience just doesn't evolve from thin air, it was given to us

This thread took a weird turn, but your opinion isn't the only possible explanation of anything. This is especially true of something none of us can possibly know or prove. That's why there are so many different belief systems on this subject, and they all think they are correct.

They can't possibly all be correct, but they could all be wrong. There are things we just don't know, so we believe what feels right to us.

Years ago when I was a teen I got a part time job where I had to cashier. My people skills weren't great at the time. There was this dude that used to come in every day and when you'd charge he'd always wait for you to tell him his total before he even got his wallet out. He always paid cash and seemed to always have to count out a few dollars in change. He kind of reminded me of the old Tim Conway skit on Carol Burnett where he'd be a slow service worker and Harvey Korman was always the customer. One day I snapped at him to try to speed it up. I was reprimanded. I almost felt like the dude was trolling me. Yes, he was older.

I had a job driving a delivery car for a pharmacy in high school, but sometimes I had to fill in at the register. It was mostly cash, but occasionally had to break out the manual credit card reader with the carbon forms - sounds like the fucking stone age now.

Anyway, one time I was at the register and a buddy comes in the store. He sees me, gives me a nod, then starts pacing like he's unsure of what to do next. After what seemed like a couple of minutes he finally walks towards me and says "You're gonna lose it" as he selects two items from a nearby shelf - tampons and maxi pads. Pretty sure he was expecting the normal cashier (older woman) but he got me instead. :lol:

Nothing annoying about it. Your story just reminded me of that day at that job.

They make me sad, for them. I had an acquaintance that was a card carrying member of American Atheists and once he invited me to one of their get togethers. Miserable and angry people who ironically were obsessed with God and people who believe in a God.

I call dibs on Bill Burr' cruise ship idea.

When you're done with the cart, put it away. Put it away!!! Leaving it in the parking lot is not "away". You know that these are the same people who yell at their kids for not putting the jug of orange juice away after pouring some. How is this different, except that now they aren't the victims.

Have you heard of Cart Narcs?

I'd be unprepared because I never have quarters on me. My Giant Eagle still has free-roaming carts and plastic bags. They love those plastic bags. You can buy a dozen items and end up with 8 of them. They have the reusable bags but they want you to buy them while the unlimited plastic bags are free. We've got a sort of upside down environmentalism movement going on in NE Ohio.

What annoys me about that? Assholes who don't push their carts back to the station, just leaving them wherever and clogging up the lot.

My grocery store recently started forcing paper bags. But literally everything in the store is packed in plastic.
Sure glad we stopped using those bags.

Do they still have checks in the USA. They were discontinued here a couple of years ago.

Most countries have a national payment system.
In the US, we have the scam which is Visa and Mastercard.

    I agree on all accounts.

    Side note, an ex of mine once ordered groceries for us. The delivery guy forgot something, so he came back later (didn't tell us this) and showed up with the item + a bouqet of flowers. I answered the door and he was surprised. I thanked him for the flowers and asked what they were for? He left quickly. Considering how red his face turned when it wasn't my gf, fuck that guy.

    That's why everyone needs to be a server for 1 year. You're drink or ranch dressing is not important. It'll come.

    What about people who start a thread about things that annoy them (aren't those called "pet peeves") instead of including that in the thread about pet peeves?

    What about areas with no left-turn lanes? East side of Cleveland has a big fear of left-turn lanes. Are they bad luck or something? Did some city architect lose his wife to a pro-left-turn lane guy, or something? It's insane. The road is barely wide enough for 4 lanes - 2 going each direction. Then you get the guys riding bicycles. And I get it - share the road and all. So cars need to zurp into the left lane. But then some fuckhead is turning left. And really, he's just going where he needs to go - he's just a "fuckhead" because I want to go and no one is going. And it's not like he can take a lane out of the oncoming traffic's side. So we wait and wait and wait for a gap in the oncoming traffic. Meanwhile, the bicyclist passes us on the right. So cars start trying to get in the right lane, and don't you dare try to get in the right lane before me. Now we have cars cutting each other off. Then, the guy finally turns left, so people are trying to get back in the left lane to turn left at some spot ahead. Or, you're at a traffic light trying to turn left, in the left of 2 lanes, which is also a straight lane. The oncoming traffic also has 2 lanes, and the left-turners ahead aren't directly in front of you - they're offset, because that's also a straight lane. So you can't see around them. Then you get the guy who wanted to go straight, and didn't realize the guy in front was turning left because he didn't use a turn signal (another pet peeve), so he has to get in the right lane to go around the guy in front. I saw an accident because the guy cut off someone in the right lane. "SCREW EVERYONE!!! I'M MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU ARE!!!"

    I could probably write a book about left-turn lanes and the anger I feel when there isn't one.
