Things or sayings that are annoying

[CATHYnKY]

Went to the grocery a few minutes ago to pick up a few items. 4 to be exact. Saturdays are busy. Went to a "12 items or less" check out. There were 4 stations. I was 3rd in line, with a couple of people behind me, waiting for an empty check out. There was a man was talking on his cell phone. Had 1 more item to scan. My turn came and he was still talking. Was gone when I turned around to leave. Really????? I wasn't in a hurry, but still. How rude can you be? Wasn't in a hurry, but could not believe he was doing that. And it wasn't a young man. Maybe I am getting to be an old, crotchety lady in my old age.

There are lots of positives to cell phones, but there are times I wish they had never been invented.

A grocery positive. Was at the self check out yesterday. A young man, maybe early 30s had less in his basket so I let him go ahead of me. He thanked me. Thanked me again when he was done. That type of thing makes me feel better

There are still some good, polite and courteous folks. But, a person on a cell phone and pushing a cart at Wal Mart is not one of them. That's a dangerous situation.

One of my many annoyances is people who have handicap stickers, because of a family member (some do not even have a sticker), that park in handicap spaces. I see this a lot at the local Wal-Mart.

The inclement weather has caused this annoyance to come to the fore.

The last few days with rain in the early daylight hours - 6:45-7:00 am, or late evening before sundown - I've encountered a number of morons who won't turn their lights on. All but 1 or 2 were grey or black vehicles.

This morning, pulling out from our subdivision in the pouring rain, I almost pulled out in front of a black Nissan SUV with its lights off. As I slowly caught up to her, I turned my lights on and off a few times thinking she'd get the hint.

Nothing.

Oncoming traffic was flashing their lights at her or turning theirs off - nothing. I tried a few more times with the lights and she would slow down to about 15 mph - I guess thinking I'm being an asshole to her. Never phased her at all.

I hate it when the checkout is 20 items or less and people go to the checkout with a full basket

I've been to stores where the express (Kroger is 15 or less) is empty, the cashier is standing out front and I've got a full cart and am looking for a line. Twice I've been motioned into the express line. The first time, I declined and she insisted. Within a minute of her scanning my items, someone comes in behind me and gets exasperated. The cashier apologizes that she invited me because she had no customers.

The second time I lied and said I forgot I needed another item and pretended to "shop" and then went and waited in a regular line.

I would totally go that way. I can't stand being put in positions like that.

I was part of a funeral procession to the Middletown Cemetery yesterday from Ratterman's on Shelbyville Rd. It was after 3. It was a long procession. Could not believe how many cars were following, not part of the procession, trying to cut in line and go thru the lights as well as making their turn quicker. So sad people do this.
