| THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF | WHY DO PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS?!? | ||||||||||||||||
|
Well, anyone who knows me personally or has driven in my car knows about the complete lack of patience I have for the drivers in my city. Oh my, they cut you off and then slow down. I know that this happens in most cities, but you should see it here. Everyone does it. People who cut you off and you honk at them don't even appologize, they just generally give you the finger and continue on their happy way. Now, I'm no better, I have a tendency to swear and yell at other drivers, but atleast when someone lets me into the lane, I thank them. The other day, I let this man into the lane and what did he do? No, he didn't wave a nice thank you (by the way, this was on Christmas Eve.....its called Christmas spirit people!!!), I did not get a smile when I passed him (he automatically slowed down)....no, all I got was him picking his nose......now there is a thank you for ya.....wow. Another thing that makes me mad are the people who are on the perimeter (this is the road around our city) and decide that they're going go 80km/h in a 100km/h zone and then conveniently find another car in the other lane going the same speed and then stay right next to them the whole time. No one can pass..i mean, come on people, lets not block the whole road....atleast speed up and pass the person who's also going 80km/h and stay in front of them so that people can get around them when us normal people are doing 110km/h. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF (have you noticed that its all driving stuff, yet I love driving...just when I'm the only one on the road) is people who do not move over when an emergency vehicle goes by......hello, if that was you.......you'd want people to move, so why not think that way all the time. There are many other things that piss me off, but at the moment I can't recall them.....but I'm sure I'll have some interresting complaints about my Chem class.....and possibly my work (I work in a grocery store and there are plenty of mean people there....not the employees, but the customers) I'll just add this one thing about my work..I'm a cashier...now that we're in the 21st century we have machines called scanners that tell us how much a product is.....that way I don't have to know every price in the whole store (beleive me, its a large store). I don't understand why people keep asking my how much the thing that they're looking for is.....I don't know unless I can scan it. And then there is always the people who yell at you after 10pm (we close at 10pm but have to stay till all the customers have left) because there isn't enough cashiers on to get them out of there fast enough. Do they think that all our shifts should start when the store opens and then ends when the store closes?!? Or they expect us to call in extra cashiers at 10pm to work for the last half hour just so that the slow doddlers can get processed fast....yeah right. You people were the ones that were slow.......now its your turn to wait. Oh yeah, and don't keep shopping once the store has closed....its not nice for us to have to chase you down only to have you come to our lane, put your cart there and then run off again to shop some more....leave already! Well thats enough for now, but I'm sure this will change as my moods change. Oh yeah, I'll probably also end up posting a little list of those people who are inconsiderate.....and trust me, I won't name names, but you'll know who you are. To begin this list is that mean lady who cut me off 3 times and slowed down only to give me the finger because I tailed her and put my brights on to light up the cab of her truck. | One thing I really don't understand about people is the need to send forwards (especially those chain letters...and I MEAN YOU LEANNE!!!) Is there really a desperate need to force all your friends to suffer?!? And then these same people who send me all these forwards get annoyed when I send them back to them about 20 times (per e-mail account....and Leanne, you know that you have many). Another thing I don't understand are people who double park. What is the point to this practice? I think its a way for the person to think that no one will ding their car.....but guess those people haven't met me yet. My car is little enough to fit into most of these spots and I will squeeze my car into them and then its basically your tought sh*t.....sorry, don't normally swear but these people are really really annoying. And then there are those mean mean Commisionairs (the ones that give parking tickets...and yes Jill and Leanne, I know that I probably spelt that one wrong too...but thats another paragraph). Until a couple of months ago, I was the only person that I knew that had ever gotten a double parking ticket......meanwhile all those other double parkers who do it continously...and I do know which cars they are, never got any. When I walk to my car, I look....and nope, never any. Oh, by the way, when I got the ticket, it was because the guy next to me was double parked and I parked next to him but when he left, it looked like I was just one of those horrible double parkers that I hate (yeah, I think that was a strong enough word) so much. | ||||||||||||||||
