When someone writes, "alot," and/or says, "supposebly," I have to suppress the urge to smack them with a cold fish.
That's odd, the second two links didn't show up in your post.
EDIT nevermind, there they are. Looks like they are being fed more chicken crap than anything else. Regardless, the stuff I get in the store still tastes yummy.
Don't tell me you have a 12 o'clock wheelie bar on the back. Stuntin' is a habit....

41. Car salesmen who have to see their manager to give me a fair deal.
42. Executives who take in tens or hundreds of millions. No one is worth that much and it's not fair to shareholders.
43. Dump trucks with rocks dropping from the bed while going down the road.
44. Medical every 2 years after age 40. 5 years really should be fine.
45. Famous mega-rich kids who have been around a few years and I've never heard of them until they surface in the headlines.
46. Internet filters on my office computer.
47. Colleagues who spend all day surfing...causing the company to install internet filters on everyone's computers.
48. Ads for a 40 year old plane claiming the aircraft has always been in a heated hangar.
49. People who don't know the difference between hangars and hangers. It's as big a difference as aso.com vs wifelovers.com.
50. People now cursing me because they had to look.
I'm in a good mood today, really.
ATM machines that prompt for your language of choice.
Why can't that information be imbedded on the card?
This one makes me sad. A lot of people don't give a crap about anybody but themselves and it's just unfortunate. This is the reason I park far away.
Yet someone thinks it's hilarious to park next to me. Good grief man.
I am neither professing to an exact speed at or below the limit nor admitting to driving faster. You can always pass. But if you catch me, you ARE speeding.Lol, if they really wanted people to drive 75 mph they would have made the speed limit 65.
If you're going to drive the exact speed limit (or less) please at least move over.
Have I complained about elevator buttons yet?
Why can't I deselect a floor? If we're all going to floor 9 and 10 and someone, by mistake, hits 6 then why do we all need to stop at 6...watch the doors slowly open...wait 8 seconds (because ya know the door close button is inop or it's on the other side and the guy standing 4 inches away refuses to push it), watch the doors slowly close before proceeding on our way?
I agree with this, but would like to add people who feel the need to count items of other shoppers and give me static because I have 16 items instead of 15.
People who think 16 is really 15.
On elevators: excessive use of the door close button. If you push it once the system knows it. There is no need to hold it in or push it repeatedly.

People who keep pushing the pedestrian walk button at an intersection like it will make the system move faster then arbitrarily dash out into the road in front of traffic. THEN, we hav to wait through the pedestrian light for nothing!On elevators: excessive use of the door close button. If you push it once the system knows it.

When you put your blinker on to change lanes and the person in the lane you want to be in speeds up so you can't get in.
People who go to the effort to set up a perfectly fine eBay auction for a vehicle that is really desirable and then sell it for far too little money to the first doofus that shows up with cash.
Especially when I am the second doofus with cash.
> Why can't I deselect a floor?
I'm not the only one?!?! Whew!
My #2: Doctor's office says, "If we don't call you, it means the test results
are clear and no follow-up is required." They fail to grasp that it could also
mean:
- They dialed the wrong nbr.
- Voicemail ate it.
- They forgot to call.
Back to express lanes...
If you feel that you're so important---and that your time is so much more valuable than everyone else's time---that you are justified in going though the the express lane w/ a 20 item limit when you actually have 30 items then by all means, knock yourself out, just do it! I wouldn't have a problem with it at all if the stores did the following...
What the retailers should do (and I've told many about this idea and, of course, it goes nowhere) is to charge extra for each item over the limit and that charge doubles with each add'l item scanned.
i.e.
Item 21 = $0.25 premium
Item 22 = $0.50 premium
Item 23 = $1.00 premium
Item 24 = $2.00 premium
Item 25 = $4.00 premium
Etc.
And the money collected goes to a local charity. If some one thinks they're that impotent and wants to pay the premium, then I say go for it!
But my favorite express lane experiences have been when the lady in front of me explains her rationale as to why her 40 items are only 20.
"Okay, these 8 green peppers @ $0.75/ea are all peppers, so they're really only one item. These four boxes of Kleenex are only one item, again, because they're all the same thing. These three boxes of saltines are really only two items because they're buy two & get one free. This yogurt is on sale for 1/2 price so these 6 tubs are only 3 items. These 20 cans of Fancy Feast for my Precious are just one item."
I've, quite seriously, witnessed something like that at least three times since the advent of the express lane. It's pretty hilarious.
Bad enough they suspect you CAN'T answer.- They are so bad you don't want to know.
