Monday Gripes

February 23, 2009 9:33:52 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

I thought today we could start a new feature everybody could participate in.  Did someone do something over the weekend that just really got on your nerves?  Maybe just can't stand the way something is being done.  Well let it out here, just keep it clean and don't name names. 

  1. Four-way stops.  I mean seriously, how hard is this concept?  This is basic driving that anyone should have learned within the first few hours of driving.  The best part is the person that isn't the one to go is the one putting their hand out the window directing everyone else to go!

  2. Too much perfume.  When we were shopping this weekend, we turned into an aisle that had such a strong smell of perfume, it was almost unreal.  How much perfume do you actually have on that you leave a trail where people could actually track and find you?

That was my gripes from the weekend, what's yours?

My gripe is taxi drivers who think they know where they are going but don't and then refuse to listen to you when you tell them how to get there and then still think they know where they are going and refuse to stop when you tell them they pass the place you want to get off and then yell at you because you are yelling "stop!"

I hate that.

My gripe for this past weekend?

People who have PC problems but would rather pay $300 for Geek Squad to tell them it's problably someting minor someone else could have done for free than to let me check it out for them for free and family members who know I am knowledgable with PC's but do not recommend me to them.

People who are in such a hurry to get something done that they rush through it and end up buggering it up.

People you're talking to on the phone who are obviously doing something else which is commanding the majority of their attention, but instead of telling you they can't talk, they pretend they're listening (and usually give you lots of 'um-hmm' noises rather than words).

Having to come back to work!

 

Nah my work is great and I'm happy I still have a job. 

My wife and I were on our way to town this morning.  We had a near miss with someone who decided that their car can fit wherever they choose.  It was a good thing my wife was slowing down and not speeding up or else our few inches miss would have changed the start to our day.  Then a little while later this car revealed itself as a lane hopper.  These people really irritate me and are quite frankly dangerous.  It was funny though that at our turn off, a couple miles later, we were right next to ms. lane hopper. 

I resisted the urge of telling them they're number one or other similar gesture.

Yes someone got on my last nerve this week!  someone that asked a question,  and while I was answering their question,  they shushed me because a commercial came on that they wanted to watch!!!!  Freaking stupid and infuriating! 

I took a chocolate break right afterwards....now I feel better,  between that and my puppy giving me puppy kisses
