I don't know if this counts or not :

Why is it, whenever I'm in a hurry, the dude/chick in front always has to pay by credit card!!!
It's a £5.99 DVD !!!!! Don't you carry six pounds on you!!!!

Strangely I have the urge to smack them in the ear, Bluetooth vs. ear cartilage = pain.

I think a spinning wheel kick, spinning hook kick, or a round kick would my choice if I would attack someone who had a blue tooth in their ear, but that might do a lot more damage than smacking them in the ear.

I don't, , but then again, I live in the U.S., so I don't even have access to pounds, BUT, I don't carry any American money either, just plastic. If a person knows what they're doing, plastic is faster. You can put in all your info while the cashier is ringing everything up, and you get a receipt as soon as they hit total. I haven't carried real money for several years now, just don't see the need. Most of the time it's faster, either from being able to put in your info while the cashier is still ringing stuff up, or from avoiding some knucklehead having to figure out how to make change.

People paying with plastic don't bother me, its people that write a check for a pack of gum that get me. What really bugs me, is when there is a guy in front of me with two loaded carts, and there I am with a loaf of bread, and he sees this, and doesn't offer to let me go first.

What I hate is when someone goes through the express lane and then wants to argue over prices/sale/coupon crap to a point where they have to call over managers, etc. If you have an issue, the express lane isn't the place to deal with it, either buy it or don't, but your mind should have been made up before you got in line. If it's such a monumental deal, then get out of line and deal with it elsewhere.

Six pounds of what?

(Yes I know your Brit, that was always my question when I was there.)

Ghouck is right, one can easily pay quicker for anything with plastic quicker than with cash if the timing is right. I never carry cash on me. 1.) It seems to leave me quicker and 2.) Its dirty and I'm a germaphobe.

You mean you are a Brit, not "your Brit".

Pet peeve:

"I tried some of my friends... what's it called? Hydro... hydro... hydrocodeine?"

"hydrocodone?"

"Yeah, that! And it worked! Can you prescribe me some?"

Mr. DS · February 26, 2009, 12:47:20 PM

When someone in a profesional working environment asks, "How do I spell check this email".

If that's your pet peeve, my advice to you is don't ever open a practice in eastern Kentucky.

Zapranoth · February 26, 2009, 09:29:58 PM

Heh... yeah. But it's like that everywhere to some extent, now.

I hate the apostrophie when used to pluralise words too, along with people using too/to/two incorrectly. You know what? I hate incorrect grammar generally (I also hate my seemingly uncontrollable need to pull people on their bad spelling and grammar too).

I hate when people say "No offense but..." and then proceed to offend.

Characters played by different actors in the sequel.

ghouck · March 02, 2009, 02:00:37 PM

Good one, I hate that also. National Lampoon's "Vacation" movies always bugged me for that reason. Sometimes it's unavoidable, Like the woman who played the Oracle in the Matrix movies, she died between the second and third I believe, but otherwise it's stupid. BUT, that's also how egotistical actors get huge paychecks, by holding the franchise hostage. So I'm kinda on the fence at times.
