Your irrational pet peeves

[count2infinity]

Had ANOTHER person put the grocery stick on the conveyor belt as I was in front of them still unloading my cart again today. What is wrong with you people??

[blackjack68]

Are you in front of the cart and unloading? I get in front and don't allow them access to the belt until I am unloaded and then, I put the divider stick down after my order is unloaded.

[count2infinity]

No, usually I take one of those small carts and have so little to unload that I have all my stuff in the top part of the cart, so I'm behind the cart. Maybe that's the problem, they have a chance to get right up on me and think it's okay to just start unloading.

I had a good bit of self checkout rage today as well. If you have over 20 items, go to a lane with a cashier or move your ass while checking out. At least have some grasp of technology before hand. The barometer should be if you don't know how to send a text message, you let the employee check and bag your items.

Never had that issue with someone putting the divider on the belt too early. We do have the small self checkout lanes at one store i go to where you dont even have a belt. When people go to those things with a cart, they should be incinerated.

I find it more annoying when people cant grasp modern technology and cant simply enter the code for your fruit or scan the barcode. But then again I cant stand general society and people annoy me. So im sure that helps.

Yard signs or bumper stickers that say "I'm <fill in the blank- union, pro life/choice, NRA, some religion> and I vote!"

All that tells me is that you are incapable of thinking critically for yourself.

[Hockeynut!]

Couples who insist on walking side by side in the grocery store even when the aisle is too narrow for me to pass them while pushing my cart.

Agree on the second part but not the first. I think, if you can't operate a self checkout, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Forget IDs.

The first part, no way. I can check out a cart full of groceries faster than half the nimrods with under 20 items. Plus I'm not waiting on the 2 cashiers to ring out the 10 other people in their lines before me.

You may want to rethink your strategy.

Yes!

That's not necessarily true, though.

If you have a bumper sticker about anything political, you are a bad driver.

I don't know what the correlation is, but it exists.

People who brush their teeth in they shower.

Slight adjustment, if I may.

Also, bumper stickers in general.

People that put ketchup on the bottom of my burger

Does the prius logo count as political?

Um, ok, I'll allow it.

People (seems to be people in their late teens/early 20s) who refer to kids 5 years younger than them as the next generation.

Case in point: "Always good to know that the generation after us doesn't completely suck. Good job this afternoon kids." The poster is 22, the "kids" he is referencing are 16.

Flip it over.

People that leave like 2-3 car lengths between them and car in front of them at a red light, especially when they are then blocking an open turning lane or something like that.

It's one thing to protect yourself against hitting the car in front of you, it's another to leave that much space when you are blocking a turning lane.

I hate this as well.

That vending machines have the chips and stuff that can crack up top, and the candy and gummy stuff at the bottom. Why make the most fragile stuff fall the furthest?

What? The potato chips are light and airy. Mints are hard and fragile. The bag doesn't fall hard enough to cause catastrophic damage to the chips. One might be broken in half but that's nothing compared to what would happen to mints if they fell from that height.

Call the mythbusters.

[mikey287]

Additionally, the chips are at eye level...like most good things...if someone is going to a vending machine to get 14-year-old Lifesavers, they have issues...
