This probably shouldn't bother me, but it does.... people that are TOO nice when they drive... like if your driving in a quiet parking lot and trying to turn on the main "road" perpendicular to the aisles (sorry, I really don't know what to call it) and the person on the road just like stops right where they are to let you go and you are the only two cars there. It's like, really, you have the right to keep going, I honestly can wait two seconds for you to drive past me so I can turn. I REALLY don't mind though when its a really busy intersection and I'm in a difficult situation, but if there aren't that many cars or whatever, just follow the rules of the road and drive. lol

I love the diagram of all the cars moving into the breakdown lanes so the honker can drive through with ease.

Okay someone stepped in my oatmeal today and there's nobody to vent to and the dog doesn't want to hear it. I met our daughter at a thrift store "Grand Opening" today and it was very crowded. People were in eachothers way trying to shop but you have to expect that on the first day as soon as the doors open. That wasn't a problem for anyone, everyone seemed to be well in check. I have been collecting waist tie aprons for our daughter's bridal shower which will have a kitchen theme. I found several and went to a spot where I was out of the way to go through them more carefully to look for stains and tears. I was excited as they are hard to find used in good condition. While doing this a woman stopped and asked me where I found them. I told her the general area as best I could. I had one that turned out to be a full front apron and really couldn't remember just what isle they were on and it was grid lock in isles of that area still. So I put the apron back on the hanger and hung it on the end of the rack of clothes I was standing next to, and looked once more at the others. I thought it was not worth trying to get back to where I got it, and if I left it there the other woman might see it and take it that stopped me earlier asking where I'd got them. Just then a guy walks by and says something to me with a dirty look on his face. I really didn't hear what he said, so I said what? And in his best gay voice says "I said it really wouldn't hurt you to put that apron back where you found it". Then walks off, I follow him and he keeps looking back and moving through the store. I never saw him with anyone but my daughter and I watched him as he would walk up behind people and watch them. I asked an employee if he worked there and she said no. Was he doing this to everyone? At one point I decided I didn't want another item I'd picked up and he was at the end of the isle where I got it so we took it back and I said real loud I'm putting this back! He of course wouldn't even look at us. I know he heard me since others in the isle looked our way. I have shopped at this store several times in another town and never run into anyone like this. :mad: Not a good thing especially before I've had coffee.

One of my biggest pet peeve is spitting. I can't stand the sound or to see someone do it - it is so totally gross.

People who constantly make that hacking sound like the are trying to clear their throat and sinus at the same time. Maybe the are trying to bring something up? I don't know but it makes me want to hurl.

Funk - body funk, B.O., stinky feet, bad breath.

Walmart - enough said

People that are rude to the wait staff - My MIL was on a rampage last week at Olive Garden because she asked for a lemon in her tea and didn't get in quickly enough for her. The entire dinner was nearly ruined because all we heard was, "I asked for a lemon. Did you hear me ask her for a lemon? Do you think she forgot my lemon? I am going to finish my tea before I get my lemon." To top it off our appetizer was delived to the table (by another waitress) with a lemon on the side. So we told her to use that lemon. That lemon wasn't meant for her tea she would just wait for HER lemon. I bet the waitress probably figured, "that ol bitty doesn't need anymore lemons - she is sour enough."

People who invade my personal space. I know this has been mentioned earlier but I have a boss that does this. She is a big lady and she gets so close that her boob will touch your arm. I try taking a step back but she follows me!

People who sit in their office,kitchen, bedroom etc, and call your name over and over again.. Tina...Tina..Tina...Tina. You finally give up and say what and they say come here. Why? Can't you just say, "hey Tina come in here for a second?"

ok I am done for now..

ok this is a random one but it seems to happen to me quite often.

When people hug you with their armpit touching your shoulder and you feel that its kinda wet and you smell your shoulder and it smells like deoderant with a little BO mixed in. Ugh it is soooo gross old people at church do it to me. Like really people.....??? if your sweating lets not hug people so big that your sweat gets on them! A little side hug without armpit contact would be nice.

I think we covered this already but screaming children in stores... it's not even so much the kids as it is the parents that don't tell them to be quiet. A month or so ago hubby and I were in the commissary and there were two toddlers that were having screaming contests for like 30 minutes. No kidding. The parents just ignored their blood curdling, ear piercing screams. I understand that sometime toddlers make random screams and noises, which is fine, but parents, please, at least tell them to be quiet! I would have been in SOOOO much trouble growing up if I did that! The other day too I was in Wal-Mart and this little girl (about 7-8 years old) was standing right next to her mother and screamed "CAN I GET SOME LIP GLOSS?!" She wasn't throwing a fit or anything, she was simply asking a question, but she was screaming it. What was the point? Her mother never said a word. And of course, it's back to school season so there are a ton of little screamers running around Wal-Mart. I'm going to avoid Wal-Mart at all costs for the next 2 weeks because I don't have the patience! lol

I probably would have lost patience at some point and told her to take the lemon off the tray and use it before I shoved it down her throat. :D

Years ago people took their kids home for lunch and a nap then continued to shop. Now kids are expected to endure hours of boring shopping, late lunches and naps in a car seat or shopping cart. I don't totally blame kids for their behavior.

I'm not blaming the kids either... I'm blaming the parents for not doing their job. If I did HALF of the stuff that I've seen kids do either while I'm shopping or working (used to work retail), I would have gotten in so much trouble. Like the kids I said were screaming in the commissary at the top of their lungs for no reason... they were having a screaming contest and when I say they were screaming at the top of their lungs, you could have heard it all the way on the other side of the store. The parents didn't even attempt to tell them to be quiet. They just kept on shopping and ignored the behavior completely.
