    along those lines....

    customers who call without having their sh*t together first.

    they thumb through the catalog taking their sweet time deciding what they want to order. get your freakin list together before you call. i have to work, not sit here all day waiting for you to make up your mind! i had one today. as he was deciding on one last item i sat here for (i kid you not,i timed it) almost a minute and a half while i could hear him leafing through the catalog going, "hmmmm..... maybe..... what about.... hmmmm...... etc etc." i want to crawl through the phone and slap the snot out of him!!!!

    It's disrespectful of those who are on time. I'm the opposite. Always early. I'm always in my seat at the movies with 15 minutes to go before the previews start.

    Funny, but I'm rarely late or early. Punctuality was something I've always had, even as a kid. It actually annoys some people. I've had dates tease me because when I say I'll be there at 7:00, I knock on the door within 3 minutes of 7:00. It's not like I sit the truck and try to time it when early or run red lights making up time. I'm just in the habit of being on time.

    It's a good habit to have.

    Around '00ish, I can remember it as a group of students (4 I think) that had shirts with stick men that read "2nd Down Gang." They always sat on the top row of the lowest section. They would spaztically overemphasize the motion of the cheer then at the end would start the "whoo" thing once the band stopped. It seemed they could care less about anything else in the game and lived for the few moments where they could do their cheer. I dont know if that was the true beginning or how it progressed into the trajedy it is now, but if I had a time machine, stopping that cheer would be in my top-3 of things to do.

    This is why texting is now my favorite phone communication.

    I've always been early, too. Work, doctor's appointments, movies. You name it; I get there early.

    saying I could care less when you really mean I couldn't care less.

    I could care less if x does y. If you could, then why don't you? :insane:
