Stupid Pet Peeves

like, you're next in line at the bakery, and there is one cinnamon twist left, and the person ahead of you selects a bunch of other stuff, and as they're paying you comment to your friend "oh good, there's one cinnamon twist left" and all of the sudden that person ahead of you in line decides they really must have one more item added to their order, and guess what it is....

LOL This reminds me of a situation my wife and I were in a couple of years ago. We have a local farmer here that grows and sells various veggies over the summer. In the spring he grows and sells peas. Now these peas are amazing. Sweet, succulent and full of delicious. It doesn't hurt that they are shelled and ready to rock. We usually buy 4-5 lbs and eat a pound on the way home and then freeze the rest for use over the coming year.

Well, we wheel up to the little shack that they use to sell. We get there at the exact same time as another woman. My wife and the other woman both mention that they are there for peas. The owner tells us that he only has 8 lbs left. Being the nice person that my wife is and thinking that the other woman will at the very least split the remaining peas with us, tells her to go ahead and place her order first. The other woman then proceeds to buy all 8 frickin' pounds!! Doesn't even think twice about it. My wife says, "Seriously?!" to which the woman replies, "You should have gone first honey."

I have never wanted to smash in a windshield so bad in my life.
 
Who wears these? Like, what group of people? Is it a yuppy thing, I assume?

I will admit to it. I bought a pair for our beach vacation last month, thinking they would be useful walking along the beach, but after a few cocktails, I looked like that guy trying to put his flip flops on at the hippie-fest so they ended up being left behind.

Ewww, don't know that I woulda told that one .. damn ..
 
I've reached that "don't give a ****" stage in life. Let my mistake be your lesson.

I'm there too, bro .. and it's a far better place than giving a **** about the stupid stuff.

But still ..

I should have bought those instead. Mine were a cheap ****ty Sketchers brand and hard to put on when they were wet and I was drunk.
 
anyone else get annoyed by drivers at a stoplight that leave way too much space between their car and the one in front of them, so that you can't get into the left turn lane and you end up missing the turn arrow? This has happened to me so often lately, I sit fuming behind 3 or 4 cars that are taking up the space of 6 or 7 - honestly I feel the smoke coming out my ears just thinking about it

Yeah, I don't even care if they're blocking left-turners. If I'm in a space next so someone who has left over 1.5 car lengths between them and the car in front of them I dramatically look at the huge space they've left as if wondering what is wrong with that particular piece of pavement. I'm a horrible jack-*** in traffic, though. I hope there aren't too many other people like me out there.

Or the ones who stop 20 feet short of the line so the turn signal never trips & you have to sit through at least 2 lights before getting an arrow.

Or these jackass hypermilers who take 90 seconds to get through the intersection, causing everyone else to miss the light & burn more gas waiting for another. I once waited three lights that would have taken one because TWO dinglewad freaks I work with took that long to get going. I could have pushed my car through the intersection faster than they did. Great job saving those 2 drops of gasoline, ********.
