stevewin Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 - People who are in the left hand turn lane and first don't pull out in to the middle of the intersection, then sit there like nimwits when the light turns yellow and don't even make the turn - I HATE THAT! - People who pay with checks at the store - especially the grocery store - People who constantly mis-use the term 'literally' "My mouth literally caught fire when I ate those hot wings" - oh really - that must have been very painful!... - Parents of obnoxious children who just sit there and let their kids be obnoxious brats in public - double points for actually thinking their kids abhorrent behavior is cute!

stuckincincy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 yeah, I hate when I am in line with rugs and vases. Is this the thread for people to voice all their racist angst? We had someone post about "orientals" (which is an insulting term) and "smelly foreigners." Jeez. 651652[/snapback] No racist angst, sloppo.The term "Oriental" insults only idiots or hand-wringers. You inpungn diversity. Every ethnicity has it's particular features and proclivities. People are different. What plays in Peoria does not play in Peking (Yes, I know - Beijing. Been there) Would you not be disappointed if you traveled east or west and the customs and feelings of the indigeneous population were the same as those in your back yard? Want a Big Mac n Italy? The fact is, Oriental societies and their diaspora are hard and precise with money. Wake up, learn about the globe, and don't fling accusation.

IDBillzFan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 How do you feel about the wooden crosses placed at the scene of a fatal accident, fitting memorial? 651692[/snapback] I think that's fine in that it's a specific place where someone likely lost their life unexpectedly and tragically. And having a place where people can congregate to mourn that person's loss is truly chicken soup for the mouldless soul. But unless you killed the guy with your own car, I have no idea what those stickers are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you want something a little more permanent? I mean, what happens when you take it through the $3 car wash at the local Conoco and you start losing letters and suddenly your car says "In loving memory of Hard Bon er z"?

The Dean Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 People in front of the line to the bar who only start thinking about what they want once it is finally their turn to order. Yo dumb arse what do you need a day planner? Another bar scenario where Joe Armpit gets off the dance floor, takes a wad of napkins to facial his sweat brow and then just tosses the napkins on the bar like anybody would want to touch, smell or see it. Yo Armpit, no drinks for you. 651658[/snapback] Finally! Someone addressing the important things in life. It's worse when you are the bartender. The place is busy...Jackass has been wayving and yelling for drinks ("I'm parched"..."It's like a desert in here"..."I'm farting dust!"). You finally get to him and say, "What'll it be?"...THEN he starts to survey his friends for what they want. Buh-bye for now, ass lick. Now, just as annoying is a bartender who keeps his back to the bar while having a conversation with a waitress or customer. A Bartender should always be scanning the bar to see if a customer needs someting. A good bartender can have several conversations going and still make the drinks.

A Bartender should always be scanning the bar to see if a customer needs someting. A good bartender can have several conversations going and still make the drinks. 652176[/snapback] reminds me of a good one of mine over spring break: the bartenders at our hotel in Jamaica. By far the worst service I have ever seen. You could be the only one at the bar and they would totally ignore you for 5-10 minutes while they puttered around with their back to you. If you called for them, they'd just get more pissed. If you tipped them a few times, it'd be a tiny bit better but it was still slow and you would still get the death stare. I decided that down there you tip to get somewhat less sh------- service instead of to reward good service. If they only realized that most people reward good service they'd make a lot more $. We had an all inclusive deal, but after a few days were buying our own bottles of cheap rum and making our own drinks. Overall pet peeve: Idiot drivers. Many have already given some examples like the 4-way stop, people cruising in the left lane, etc. I'll throw in another one the people from other states (not WNY) that freak the hell out at any sign of snow or adverse weather. It's just some snow flakes blowing around on dry roads buddy, no need to go 35 mph with you blinkers on. Freakin Ohio drivers suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course by the time you get there the light has turned red. 652272[/snapback] If the driver is being a d*ck with no merit (see below) then spread it out to the right or other lane when the green is "stale"... You will make it through. Did you ever think they are trying to lose you... I do it all the time to drivers that are being too aggresive, passing on the right and "merge weaseling." Now if there is a car behind me and they are being patient, staying off my tail and waiting till I get over to the right around other cars... I got no problem... But... The impatient ones and dishonorable ones (people wouldn't act badly in a supermarket line)... Pay a heavy price. I am not saying you portray any of these negative driving traits... But some sort of honorable driving has to happen... Maybe I am wrong to think little tricks are gonna straighten them out, in fact it probably pisses them off more and act like bigger d*icks down the line... But, they are gonna do it any way? My pet peeve is when there is a merge arrow on the highway getting down to one lane and people cruise down the closing lane to "merge weasel" and zipper it up at the last second... Causing the other lane to "slack" up like a long train does at the couplings when gaining momentum... It would be like sand through a hourglass if people would get over early... I even create extra room in the early part of the merge, blink my lights and let people in EARLY... But, they still zoom all the way down to the merge arrow and create slack into the main lane... There is a point where I then tighten it up and let nobody in anymore... I look at it like people had the chance... Little tricks at the lock and dam really keep the boats flowing through and once people realize you don't play... The get the drill and there aren't many problems... Actually, you can get other boaters to do the dirty work and put pressure on the meatheads... After over 15 years doing this work, I can sniff out anything... I know when people are slacking and dragging their freinds in other boats around the bend or what not... You maintain order in a stern yet, NOT ARBITRARY way and things can run pretty cool with very few rules and laws... Conditioning is everything. Sorry for the rant.
