Think that's bad? I once had an ambulance turn up to take me to a hospital appointment. I shouted out the window that I'd be two minutes. Driver tells me he can't wait that long, he's got a patient in the ambulance. I reiterate 2 minutes. I get down the stairs - I probably wasn't even a minute, open the door, by which time he's disappearing round the corner. I put in a complaint to the ambulance service. They claim he thought I said 10 minutes. Well, the ambulance service guidelines say they have to wait up to 10 minutes anyway. And he claimed he'd called before arrival, and their logs proved he hadn't. Probably get away with a slap on the wrist.
Driving in traffic; honestly, I cannot abide which some old 'diddly squat' cannot make up their mind which way they want to go.
Goes to the store to get paper towels..... Buys everything BUT paper towels. Me. Im the thing that annoys me.
I'll be happy to start recycling when the list of things that I can bring to the center is longer than the list of items I can't. PLASTIC BOTTLES, JUGS, TUBS & CONTAINERS Saturdays, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Items should be clean and dry. Includes bottles and jugs with narrow, threaded neck; plastic tubs (margarine, sour cream, cottage cheese, etc.); microwave trays; and yogurt containers. NO: plastic bags, paper- or wax-coated milk or juice cartons, foam containers/packaging, syringes, garden hoses/rubber, furniture, pools, toys, buckets, laundry baskets, barrels, free-flowing liquids.
Sounds like where I live. Lubbock is not green. There's also no place to recycle electronics, and I run a computer shop. It's the landfill or nothing, and it disgusts me when I have to fill up a dumpster with recyclables.
People that use the term "Hubby" or "Wifey" to describe their spouse! Really, you had to sign a paper stating you were an adult to even get married, and yet in marriage you chose to sound like a 10 year old texting?
People who wear pajamas inside of stores... It really sucks because you are obligated to let them get ahead of you in line. As the Walmart clerk told me the other day, "That was nice of you to let her go ahead of you." I said, "Well I had too. Its 14:00 and she is in pajamas. If she is in that much of a hurry to go to bed, then who am I to stop her?!"
People who do not know the difference between Facebook and Restaurants. My wife and I were at a nice restaurant, having a romantic dinner, when two women who had not seen each other for a bit, stopped by our table and started talking. For 30 minutes they discussed how their husbands were having affairs on them... At one point in 30 minutes of talk do you see a couple dressed up nicely and think, "Jeesh, maybe they got away from their 4 children tonight to spend time together and don't want to hear about trailer-park talk?"
I don’t know what the English equivalent to trailer-park trash talk would be called but our buses are full of these morons. Do these people think perfect strangers enjoy listening to them air their dirty laundry, or do they just not care?
Women's jackets that are intended for cold weather, nonetheless their line is supertight, their fabric inflexible and their length barely reaches down to cover your ilium bone. I find it extremely hilarious, especially when they place the tiny, side-pockets (Come on! Not even babies have such small hands. Either place them or not!) up high, so you can resemble a baby chicken when your hands get cold and you actually need to use them. I guess the " ... but shouldn't" part could be constituted solely by the claim that at least I look so cool in them whenever I turn into an inanimate mannequin.
My wife's tablet packed up today. It's been a great little workhorse. It upsets me that I have to throw out a Nexus 7, but we got it in 2013!
Thanks so much, Amazon, but I don't want to 'subscribe' with auto-delivery every two months for this fishing net.
The way some people post comments on sport news articles. Lewis Hamilton has just won his 7th F1 Drivers World Championship, equalling the great Michael Schumacher. Instead of acknowledging the years of hard work, skill and determination that went into this remarkable achievement, they have to slag him off.
When someone makes a joke and you don't laugh and they instantly go on the defensive and blame it on you for not having a sense of humor because their joke was obviously world-class.
I have the only functioning blinker in the city and I use it to signal. To everyone else, it's just flair for their car.
I admit, I have a running light out that's been off for like 30000 miles, but haven't replaced it yet. Sorry, I'm this guy at the moment. I really need to do that.
I drove in the big city a few years back...it was not good. I had a standard pick up truck, and was at a traffic light that was red. It turned green, and in the mere second that it took too put the truck in gear, let out the clutch, the guy behind me was honking. So I figured he needed a lesson patience. So I kicked ye olde truck back in neutral and waited...for two light cycles. Oh he was honking then, but NOW he had a reason to honk. So a police officer sees me, sees my out of state plates and pulls me over. He asks what I was doing, so I told him, and he laughed and said NOT to do that. He said the people here were so stressed that they would snap! He literally said it was a good way to get shot. Over a traffic light? Jeesh, here if I see Ray and he stops, and I stop, and we got the whole road shut down because we are talking, I am NOT moving. When Ray gets done his story/gossip/complaints, we will move along, whoever is behind me is just going to have to wait. If they need to be somewhere, that tells me they should have left earlier.
cropped sweaters..... like thick, "ready for winter" sweaters.... but stop just below the boobs. how is this warm??? wtf does this have to do with winter?? the models in the ad photo are wearing winter boots and ski hats.... and a flipping cropped sweater. every winter, i give those ads the side-eye
you must live in a college town. it was a common thing to go to the store in pajamas. it was a common thing to go anywhere in pajamas, actually. (except me... i wear an XXL t-shirt and athletic shorts to bed because who needs fancy pajamas? who are you showing off for...the monster under your bed? your pillow?) I did do some grocery shopping at 1am in some puppy dog slippers once....
