There is a bakery in BR that has a sign posted asking customers to get off their cell phone to make an order. I think it's on Sherwood Forest or Essen...
there is a sign at the counter at a pharmacy here that states if you are on your cell phone they will not wait on you. it doesnt ask, either! :thumb:
i have another one (and ive mentioned this one before)... the person at the grocery store (always the person right in front of me, too) that waits until the total is rung up to start digging in her purse for her checkbook. then she has to fill the whole check out, making sure every "t" is crossed and every "i" dotted. checking it all twice, of course. then making sure it gets entered into the register before she can verrrrrry carefully tear out the check and hand it over. helloooooooo..... get the damned check ready except for the amount while you are standing in line so you dont add 15 freakin minutes to my wait! :cuss: can you tell i went to the grocery store this morning? :hihi:
Werd. I always feel like asking them if they've a part of this century and have heard of debit cards.
i always park further (if not furthest) away.... i always put the cart in the cart holder (or back to the building).... i don't block parking lot aisles with my truck or my body.... i don't ever park in handicap spots.... i don't put on makeup or read books (etc.) while driving.... i don't text entire phone calls... i don't drive the electric wheelchairs.... i don't talk on the cell phone when conducting any kind of business.... i don't fart in cajunlostincali's office (or any other even remotely public or semi-public place).... i don't use checks at stores and hold up the line.... i don't take my 30 items into the 20 items or less line.... all this, and i AM a FATTY! lately my pet peeve is people who do not understand how to drive thru a 4-way stop when the traffic light is out. generally speaking, my pet peeves usually involve a bad driver of one sort or another.
My ultimate pet peeve: smokers who throw their sh!t on the ground or out the car window. :angryfire Drivers, usually with Texas plates in the left lane and won't move over. Idiot in line always ahead of me staring at the McDonald's menu, like "hmmmm what do they have here?" aaaaaggggghhhh! Or same idiot who must change his order after he gets to the drive-thru window! Driver ahead of me in long line at red light who goes just slow enough that I don't make the light. If I drove a monster truck I'd crush em and make the green light in time.
Well....What have we learned so far: With the exception of Salty....basically nobody here likes lazy, ignorant, stupid, or selfish people who are lucky enough to walk this earth.
People who cut in front of my truck then go 20 mph All of the above cell phone faux pas People who pay with food stamps* and check out 2 full baskets in the express lane Supermarket employees who don't kick their fat asses out of the express lane First Class Holes (The guys in the jeans and navy blazer with a carryon/brief case combo who park at the front of the line an hour before the flight while reading Blackberry email. *Because none of them know how to use the phucquing card and that makes it take even longer.
