Stupid Pet Peeves

That Wal-Mart always puts their most special employees on the express lanes. Bitch took a solid 3 minutes figuring out how to give me $65.48 in change.
 
Time you will never get back. What was that, 3 posts from your post count?

Right!

I'm going to spend the next few hours carefully crafting a letter expressing my disappointment.

The time really wasn't the issue. It's professionalism. go into a Harmon's and use their express lane. Those mofos are on point, taking the grocery game wicked serious. That's professionalism.

This lady didn't acknowledge me until she had tried to scan my bag of whole bean millstone coffee several times. I poured the coffee in the bag from the bulk dispenser and there wasn't a UPC. I explained it to her, she didn't acknowledge my explanation, set the bag to the side and called a manager. He walks up a few minutes later and she holds the bag up, "It won't scan." He seems a little annoyed with her and grabs the card with codes for produce and bulk items (I told her it was a bulk item). "Oh, it's on there?" He says yeah and walks away. She takes several minutes staring at the cash drawer and then at her monitor before you could see the light go off and she figured out that she needed 3 $20s and a five. She hands me the change without looking at me. I'm picking up my stuff from the dumb carousel of bags they use and she's scanning the next person's stuff without acknowledging them. I tell her "Thank you. Have a nice day" and she responds "Uh, yeah, have a nice day."

She is bad at her job. I don't care about my three minute (lie, I totally care) but she lacked professionalism. It's a stupid pet peeve of mine.
 
People who bump threads nearly a month after the last post was made. Let the threads DIE!

This is one of my favorite threads. I'm so damn chock full of stupid pet peeves (I should probably go watch the "this is water" video again). Everytime I start having a pet peeve attack I think of this thread and come here to post in it. Trust me, my wife is well past wanting to hear about this **** anymore.

You guys might just keep me sane yet, but the odds are still not good.

I'm just teasing... but while we're on the topic... this bothers me---> people that push other people's buttons for no reason. They are jerks.
 
People that mock something consistently and in the rudest way possible, then claim they don't "hate" that thing.
Yea, they bother me.

When I was in high school, I worked at a movie theater. I had to deal with people constantly, and stupid people frequently. But I always made a point of being as professional as I could, even as a lowly ticket-taker/floor-sweeper in a vest and a bow tie. Respectful of other people, even when they were being retarded. Really, I didn't even think about it, that's just the way you did it. It seems that mentality is basically dead.

It's like nobody cares enough to do their best.

Except Chik-Fil-A. I've never been disappointed with their service.
 
Server: How many would you like?
Me: A couple.
Server: Sooooooooooooooooooo, two or three?
Me: Yes.
Server: Which one?
Me: A couple.

Also, if I ask for a few it means how ever many you decide to scoop up between three and eight or so. I don't know the exact number of pickle slices that's perfect so just throw a few on that Subway sammich and let us get on with it.
