When people refer to their child’s age in months after 1 year. Irritates the hell out of me. Your kid is not “25 months old” - he’s freakin’ 2 years old!! Don’t make me do the damn math after 11 months!
Seanette reminded me of another one - people taking phone calls instead of serving the person standing right in front of them, waiting to pay for their stuff. In my world, the hierarchy is, “People who have taken the time and effort to come to your place of business and want to give you money right now” over, “People who dialled a phone.”
What’s a boom car?
Cars with huge speakers, super-heavy on the bass, that you can hear half a block away going “thumpa thumpa thumpa” and the body panels rattling. If they’re not common in your area, be thankful. I live in California, in a good-size city, and they’re irritatingly common here (worse in larger places). Doesn’t help that the drivers of these tend to have atrocious taste in “music” (mostly commonly super-foul gangsta rap).
Around here at least, their selection isn’t bad. It’s comparable to the grocery store closest to me, but with a slightly smaller produce section. I can see why they do it and I can see why people buy food there. At least it’s not Walmart.
I hate the shopping centers that don’t have enough cart returns. In that case, unless it’s pouring down rain I’ll return my cart to the front of the store (and sometimes another as well). I don’t understand what’s so hard about returning your cart for most of these people.
I am blessed, truly blessed, in that my most special super duper can’t be duplicated WalMart (in LAKE COUNTY!! YAY! Less Tax!) is so close - and their food selection not only rivals, but excels, over our local Dominick’s and Jewel. Except for meat. Their meat selection sucks. But I get everything else there - and saving a couple of percentage points a month makes up for it. Plus I kind of have a happy place where I’m flipping off my village by not spending my money here.
Two full car lengths is excessive. He’s blocking those of us who are trying to get around his ass and into the turn lane …
For the record, I hate that too!! :mad:
I also hate it when I have to sit or stand near someone who’s chewing gum with their mouth open. Ugh.
If he can keep his foot on the brake, possibly. How many times has he been rear-ended while at a stop light/sign?
People who don’t turn their headlights on when driving in grey/dusk/dawn/rain/whatever weather.
At least in my state, the way we were all taught was that if you can see all of the back wheels on the ground of the car in front of you, you’re ok. Further back than that? Nah - that’s just causing other people problems.
Ah, I see. Yes, we have them here - they aren’t too common, though.
Walmart tends to make me stabby, because there are too many people and the lines are always long and really slow. I have issues.
However their cashiers are better than the ones at Big Lots.
Just lost my Big Lots recently. Now THAT made me stabby! I loved me my Big Lots. And my WalMart isn’t TOO bad - it’s like bigger than an ocean liner (they may have their own Airport Code) so the huge amount of people is spaced out so it’s not bad at all! Wanna come to my WalMart? The greatest WalMart in the world?? 
Sadly, I have come to feel this way about Costco, which I used to enjoy in theory, anyway.
The disproportionate number of people who wield large carts and yet are mysteriously completely unaware of (or uncaring about) their surroundings is astounding. “Gee, I’ve got a great idea. Let me stop directly across the aisle from someone else who is stopped in the aisle, and, ooh, I know! Let me turn my cart SIDEWAYS so that it juts out as far as possible, making the aisle completely impassible! Pure genius!”
Costco now makes me almost as stabby as IKEA. And that’s saying something.
When the last person who uses the bathroom won’t replace the empty toilet paper roll!
Grrrrrr…
Leaves a giant turd floating in the toilet bowl. :eek:
Or they leave one or two squares left on the roll so they can say it wasn’t empty.
Parents who don’t check behind their kids,
one of whom not only left a floater but dripped loose stool all over the seat and floor.
At least once (I was present for that one).
I had a nightmarish experience once where I pulled up behind a car that proceeded to break down before the light turned green. But I had pulled up so close that I didn’t have space to clear their rear bumper to get around them without putting the car in reverse. And, of course, since none of the other drivers behind me realized what the problem was, it took some time to extricate myself. It was tons of fun.
