Diesel pump auto-shutt off set at $65.00 when you need at least $75.00 to fill up.  What’s the point?

I tried to ask  the station attendant but I don’t speak Senegalese and she didn’t speak English too well.   She was nice and gave me a smile and a shrug.

Hey for all the people who get stabby about check writers at the grocery store, I had a new one this week.

Old lady in front of me in line at the checkout. She has all her groceries on the conveyer belt, and then she's standing in front of the empty half of the belt (where I would put my shit). But I can't, because she's standing there, and she has her gigantic purse sitting on the open area of the belt, and she's digging through said purse and pulling shit out and dumping it all over the place, looking for her....

Check book.

God damnit.

But then, I see that she's pulling out a debit card. Ok....Maybe this is going to be ok. Alas, no. She runs the debit card, and then when she gets the total and is handed the receipt, she actually uses the goddamn motherfucking check register and is "balancing her checkbook". The checkout lady actually had to tell her to get a move on, which of course appalled that old worthless bag of crap.

So the checkout woman did your work for you?  Lazy ass.

Hey man, she gets paid to be in that store. I don't. Also you're right, I'm very lazy.

Had one the other day where a lady gets in the 15 item lane, gets some exotic fucking fruits that require 2 separate price checks, then asks for some specialty smokes that aren't in the case on that checkout stand, rather they're up front.  Then the old fuck pulls out the checkbook to pay for it.  Express lane my ass...

As one who has bought my fair share of cigarettes, it's a total dickhead move to not buy them from a lane where the cigs are stocked. Usually out of 15 lanes at HEB there's only 1 or 2 that are cigarette lanes. It's very easy to spot them. I don't understand why it's so fucking hard for people to pay attention to the world around them.

[kevwun 16437]

A few weeks ago the lady in front of me is putting the stuff in her basket on the conveyor.  Then a friend or relative walks up with another cart and pushes past me like I don't exist to start putting some stuff in her cart.  Then they have a lengthy discussion about who was buying what.  I was so amazed watching it happen that I didn't even get pissed.  That they thought what they were doing was in any way acceptable blew my mind.  We had been in line for awhile, so this wasn't a case of someone running to get something they forgot.  They just decided to re-arrange the contents of their baskets while one of them was in the process of checking out.

People who recline their seat before the door is closed. Only trivial because it's not my bull getting gored. I'm fucked if we catch fire, though.

 

Edit: the universe has a sense of humor, apparently my seat was reclined a bit when I got here

People that list a car for sale on Facebook or craigslist but they list it by the down payment instead of the full price. So when I'm looking for an old project for under $3000, I get late model cars/trucks on the list for $2500 but that's the down payment. Fuck you assholes.

Opposite is also true.  When the cashier is yapping with whoever is checking out in front of me and neglecting to advance the belt forward leaving no room for me to start putting my shit on there.  I mean, I’m standing here with my thumb up my ass doing nothing when I could be loading the belt but you’re too busy talking to keep things moving.  I know multi-tasking is probably above your pay grade, but how about moving the belt forward while running your mouth?

I agree with your point.

Is it more concerning that people personally finance vehicle purchases done through FB?

Baggers that don’t bag my items in the order I send them down the belt.  Hey dipshit, notice a pattern that all the freezer, refrigerator, can goods, and vegetables are grouped together?  It’s by design.

When a restaurant visit is extended by 50%+ for no other reason than waiting for my order to be taken and later the check to be brought/cashed out. Meanwhile my normally well behaved kids start to get restless because we've been sitting at a table for over an hour for a simple lunch.

Im not too particular about this, but even I’ve noticed a major decline in recent years.

Deli meat, raw pork, asparagus, jar of pickles - what the hell?
Butter, chips, chicken thighs, deodorant, bleach - oh common! At least try!

As a former Courtesy Clerk myself, this also annoys me. 

However, a great majority of the baggers that fuck this up seem to have such limited cognitive abilities that I don't believe they're necessarily capable of detecting a pattern of similar items. It's good for those folks to have jobs, but I wish that it didn't come at the expense of smashed bread/chips/eggs and toxic cleaning products mixed in with the fresh produce....

People who leave a trail, or a trace of their presence.  I'm not talking murder stuff.  But a mess/crumbs at your table setting, food on your plate, your clothes (insert wife joke here... it applies) laying everywhere, towels on the floor, shit on the counters.  I could go on.

When I'm done with something, I feel it is embarrassing to leave a trail.  I wipe up crumbs (if any), I clean any excess food in trash and rinse plate to put in dishwasher (properly).  I take my clothes off every day and either put back away if not dirty, or put in hamper if dirty.  Only clothes I will leave out are my shorts on the pillow for bed.  Done with towel?  Gets hung up.

Untidy people are the lowest of the low.

Have you looked at what most people put on the conveyer belt? They're trying to kill themselves, too, only with Cokes and Twinkies instead of cancer sticks.

When you take a crap in the dark so you won't wake the wife, and you can't find the starting point on a new roll of toilet paper.

Why not just use the flashlight function on your phone? And if you didn’t take your phone in then my next question is, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Microsoft wireless keyboard... with the separate number pad... ran out of battery.

 

It takes a CR2430 coincell.  Not the ubiquitous 2320... but 2430.  About the same dimensions and capacity... so why in the fuckity fuck does it use this fucking stupid fuck size and format ? who the fuck has 2430 around

Not so trivial but we’re fine taxing the shit out of booze and cigs, but even hint at a soda or sugar tax and people lose their shit, even though that’s the shit that’s killing us and helping our healthcare costs skyrocket.
