Silly things that irk you

[lukin2006]

It irks me when a perfectly good joke goes by unnoticed. I was at the deli counter yesterday, and asked for a quarter pound of hard salami. The girl behind the counter was searching through the deli meats for a few seconds, so I said, "If there's no open one, don't worry about it, I'll get something else."
She replied, "That's okay, I got it. It was hidden."
Naturally, I said, "So let me get this straight....Someone's been playing 'hide the salami' behind the counter?"
She just looked a little puzzled and answered, "Yeah, I guess so."


Fortunately, an older woman behind me got it, so it wasn't a total waste.

first world problems. i've just resorted to not using the recycle bin and putting it all in the normal garbage can. 1 randomly placed can in my driveway is bad enough but if i put both in the alley, chaos ensues.

Ah, but the key point is that they are actually moving the can to the middle of your drive. Are they doing this to other people?

This can be solved if you want to quit being the victim!!!!! Find out why they are doing it.

when i put my garage cans out by the alley these days, the company that empies them moves them into my driveway from where i had them off to the side. it means i have to get out of my car, move them and get back in to back into my garage. i've called them twice about it and was twice told i'd get a call back but never have.

Do they do that just to you or others as well?

Once upon a time, I lived in Plano and they did that on purpose. The reason was to force people to move their empty receptacle out of the alleyway.

If it's just you, hide in it and when he comes to pick it up, spring up like a jack-in-the-box with a scary Halloween costume on.

others have said they do this also. something about the bins need to be like 6 to 8 feet apart but there's no way i can do that and keep them both on the same side of the driveway. also, this started happening only this year. in my 19 years prior to this i've NEVER had an issue with them moving them around like this and if i did it was only a one-off.i put my bins on the edge of my grass so the truck can get to them but not in the alleyway. if i pulled it further back they may not be able to easily get it.

if i move it to the other side of my driveway they're bound to knock over my gas line / meter at that point.

I have an old fence post at the end of my driveway.
I put multiple bungee cords around my trash cans that also go around and weave around the fence post.

Got tired of the trash guy just throwing the cans where he felt like it.

Of course if he wants to be a turd and waste his time taking the bungee cords off the post, trash cans and trash can lids....I will come up with another method to keep my cans in place that makes it even harder to move.

I'm surprised he doesn't "accidentally" rip the bag open and refuse to pick up the trash.

You mean where everyone's boxes are in the same little outbuilding or something?

The last time someone ripped the bag up and refused to pick it up got two 9 mm bullets to the body. No more Mr Raccoon.

I have a problem with old men 50 lbs over weight walking around their yard with no shirt on. Put a Shirt On Stupid. I told my grandson I am going to market a shirt with an old guy with a beer belly and more with the acronym PASOS. I always say it to myself when I pass them.

While I say it to myself my wife is worse. She sees some girl with her pants spliting here in two and wife has to mumble something just not quite loud enough for the girl to hear but really close. Ususally something like "uh huh, I wish God would would zap her with an extra 50 Lbs. There is no reason to wear her pants like that." I know one day I am going to going to have to defend her when someone wants to go Jerry Springer on her but she will in mostly likelihood deserve it.

Yoga pants. Because old women have access to them. There should be a law.

New appetite control strategy. Look at 80 year old butts in yoga pants hanging off the electric carts at the store. That will send you to the celery and lettuce section.

I like it when they wear a fanny pack and can't find it.

And some people who are wearing yoga pants have never been close to a fitness class or a yoga class...

Loved a picture that had someone in yoga pants and the caption said...Your pants say yoga but your arse says McDonalds

Actually it'd send me to the porcelain god to throw up. Who could think about food after seeing that?

One thing that irks me is those people in a grocery store that park their cart and stand across the aisle looking for something. Instead of having the cart in front of them while they look so people can get by.

Many people enter another world when grocery shopping, their own.

Or the dumb ones who try to push their cart against traffic.
