Shit that annoys you

[tbssux]

your name Brett by any chance?

"Quarters. You ever play quarters?"

And
"How bout you senator? Have you ever got blackout drunk?"

[BC.]

If I was trying to stay cool, I wouldn't use the word stoked...so I just say it because I've been saying it for many years, before I did your mom even.

Thanks Dad.

You would be one that is totally okay to say it...you are a mag and have a rep to maintain.[emoji41]

I’m talking about old dorks that come into the shops browsing around....There is no way they are cool, and they definitely sound and look ridiculous saying the word “stoked”. In fact, it’s annoying.

nope, just a boy raised in the midwest who wandered out west a while ago...and had a couple pbr's along the way

Drivers who are too busy staring at their fucking phones to go at their green light. I honk so I don’t get stuck waiting and then I’m the asshole and get the middle finger.

people who can’t form a proper line (waiting to pay at a store, get served, etc), if you need to leave 5’ in front of you, your dumbass ain’t in line anymore.

People that stand too close behind you in queues.

Some Brit you are. My mother in law is spinning in her grave right now. People WHO stand too close behind you in queues. I was always getting corrected for that one. My wife has taken up the cause, being her mother's daughter and all. Of course I now say it wrong on purpose.

And now that we have cleared that up. People who don't even know the concept of a queue. Ever wait in 'line' for something in Germany? Ho Li Phuc. You can tell the tourists, like me, they are the ones patiently trying to form a line. I could probably be a hockey goalie now after my last trip and trying to physically guard my spot in line. It is one thing at the bakery. Ok, somebody gets the last loaf of the bread I wanted. I can come back tomorrow, not a huge deal. However, just wait until you are trying to get on a train while other people are trying to get off lugging more large suitcases than they should be allowed to own. Those trains don't wait in the station very long. And none of those people understand how choke points like doorways are supposed to work.

[PNWbrit]

That is acceptable when talking about a class or group.

Shirley?

this gets me at the grocery store

i'm at the little pay stand with the card reader, all paid up waiting for my receipt and the person behind me is/has been slowly creeping forward to get to the pay stand - cashier hasn't even finished my transaction and they wanna be right next to me, close...

what, are we dating?

35 people in line. 1 checker. People wonder why retail is dying.

Because the line goes faster if everyone is one foot apart?

Have we covered Chip Seal yet?
Or should I post 'people repeating things in the Shit That Annoys You' post.
Either way, I fucking HATE chip seal.

Here that's a function of there being no affordable housing, or retailers not paying a high enough wage (minimum wage around here is ~$14 an hour), or some part of that conundrum.

People who FaceTime in public

We don’t want to hear your asinine conversation and you’re burning a fuck ton of data

I don’t believe a company has a right got to exist if they can’t survive without paying starvation wages or fucking up the environment.

These companies have spent decades paying people shit and then complain about how hard it is to hire and staff their stores, while companies like Costco can pay (relatively) well still thrive. Good help is worth the money and good for business. Especially when you have to compete with internet shopping.

Next time I’ll just order it all online and save myself the headache.

Let me guess, you grew up in the NYC area? Or Northeast at minimum.

[muted]

Seriously, if you can't figure out how a line works, life must be confusing to you. I'm with mallwalker. And if I have to ask if you are in line, you're doing it wrong, it's just a polite way of saying GTF out of the way and pay attention.

so, exactly why I said you don't have pho places. Where life's expensive, you don't have places that rely on lowpaid workers providing decent service, it doesn't matter how you in your life got there it's where it is now. Get used to it, only going to get worse.

[rideit]

And I said there are about 100 thriving restaurants, most pay between $16 and $30 an hour.
And, where do you live, again?

[iceman]

selling pho don't pay, apparently

[rideit]

No one has tried it...yet

[reckless toboggan]

pho money, pho problems.
