I remember working retail while going through college and the busiest day is BLACK FRIDAY. I was a cashier in a Mens Clothing area. I have 15 to 20 people lined up and no other Sales Associate nearby who can help because they are just as loaded at their cashier stands with 20+ people.This one lady wanted me to get off the register and help her find the perfect sweater or whatever and make everyone in line wait on her till she decided. I said " Ma'am I have all these people in line I can't stop to help you at this time to find something and no other employees are available". She knew this line had been there for atleast several minutes straight. . All the people in line thanked me knowing this lady was just an inconsiderate idiot

People who get right behind me and talk on their phone.


Going to a restaraunt and in a booth by myself .Someone will take the next booth and directly face right at me.


People in line at McDonald's waiting on their food order and already starting eating the food grabbing french fries while standing at the register waiting for the burger. Can you not wait till you are seated?


Gas station you are at the small cashier stand and the moron behind you puts his junk down right next to yours . Can he not just hold this soda and bag of chips for 5 seconds till he gets to the front of the line?. Is it that heavy or is he trying to get the cashier to charge me for his junk and he gets it for free?

All you guys who slam your brakes on tailgaters. I have a better way. If it is daytime and here come the tailgaiter,put your headlights on for a second then turn off. Your brake lights will come on for a second and you still going the same speed. It's funny freaks them out because they expected you to slow down and you didn't.

Douchebags at the gas pumps who have to blast their car stereo because they are "SO COOL".
Depends on what they're playing. My first shock was when I started working in OK and would see guys in pickup trucks rocking hard rap. I thought 'what's next, Latino gangbangers blasting Josh Groban'?

There's this young guy that drives a golf cart around where I live with a blaster in the back seat and has it on high. So high, I cannot identify the genre of music. It sounds like he has all the played in reverse LP's from the demon days but the speakers are really shot to hell. However, he gets to play "hey, look at me" music.

I wonder about the loud music. Does that attract females? Is really loud music a pheromone to them?

BTW, when I pull in to fill up, I blast Sam Kinison and dare anyone to approach.

Inefficiency and tardiness!!!!
It just depends on how good you are if I will tolerate Tardiness.

Best salesman I every had Thought a clock was for Idiots. He would say things like "I'll call when I'm on my way". and "When I get here we can go". followed by. "I'll call you when I have the numbers". Others complained and I simply expressed "When you guys reach these numbers I'll be more understanding.

Speaking of which. We have had 6 practices so far with my 11,12 year old guys and its good. Had 2 transfer school districts and they're mine now. 2 brothers that helped their team last year be very successful.

Finally got my D-line coach to comment. sheesh. We are going to be a contender. Should be fun. That is a high better than any drug. That' a real statement! :):):thumbup:

I had a 3 year stretch in which we went 32-4. 29-1 in the regular season with 18 straight wins. It was a great time. Good luck, enjoy it!

Someone what uses the handicap spot because they are lazy when my wife is having a bad day. She has MS and we have good and bad days. We only use the placard when she needs it.:(
NYC. People use handicap placards to park wherever they want and leave it there, because you can't have them towed....even when they're in a truck loading zone. I'd estimate 1 out of 15 to be legit handicapped.

cell phone laggers at traffic lights.

22 cars should have made it thorough but thanks to you and your kindred spirits
only 12 did.

Also on the interstate people obviously driving faster that you
then once they get IN YOUR BLIND SPOT they decide to travel
the same speed as you.
