What annoys you?

It's raining here now, and will be for the game. Candlestick Park is cold and windy on the best of days. The parking lot will be a lake, I could go on. A game in person is great, but I'd rather stay home and see everything on this one. A Guy

Glad you are staying home...Now who should I give your ticket to?
Maybe Derek wants to go....It's only $8,500 for his box seat!:shock:

Following someone usually a female (sorry girls) into or out of a shop and they let the door swing back at you, and like the other day when I held a door for some woman entering the shop blabbering on a mobile phone as I was leaving and she didn't even acknowledge the fact.

(mind you I did say in quite a loud voice " thanks!" - then "you're welcome" bit naughty eh?)

They are even more dangerous when driving and talking/texting male or female.:devil:
I caught up with one at a stop light and told them to get off the phone or get off the road.
She immediately flashed her finger telling me I was her number one fan.:shock:
THW

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yeah THW sounds a bit like the ones at those roundabouts or intersections that seems incapable of looking right or left or even slowing down

A person (sorry geekettes but usually a woman...) in supermarket in front of me, who simply waits the clerk to register each item she has bought, waiting and doing nothing, and then when she hears the total, how much she has to pay, first then she starts digging the purse from enormous hand bag and, worst case scenario, starting to count small coins from several compartments of her gigantic purse.

I would have but I needed a BIG camera! Think she was steering with her belly.

To bad there isn't a device out there to push a button to deaden the mobile phone.
Some police departments have them to stop the engine....or have I been watching too much sci fi/cop shows?

Yep K and then she pays for it with a bloody credit card and even sometimes just for a couple of bottles of Coke.

Hey THW you're a hoot no mistake:roflmao:

Yes, I will continue to hold doors for others. I will continue to thank toll takers. I will say thank you and please. To hell with them!

We live in a small world and it's small gestures that differentiate us from the animal kingdom.

Sending a thank you note - why aren't children in particular encouraged to do so anymore?

Using a mobile phone in the quiet coach on the train - why do people insist on upsetting others by blabbing away on their phone?

People who barge to the front of a queue - don't they realise we're waiting patiently for a reason?

Constant rises in the cost of living - why don't the powers that be realise our pockets aren't a bottomless pit?

Having got all that off my chest, I'm going to take my wife somewhere really expensive now - the local petrol station will do for a start!!

Adverts with loud sound

Hi all

I hate the following:

Adverts on TV with higher sound levels

TV programs that put the whole screen out of focus just to focus on a plant pot in the corner of the screen.

Radio or TV conversations that have so much inane music playing in the background that you can't understand what they are talking about.

Cabbage
Sprouts

All the best

Tony

The above is "a good one", but it also brings me to a question. I remember in the 1960's, European gas was about double of US gas. I hope that is still not the case with our $3.25 /gallon price. What does European petrol go for these days?

I hate the above also and the latest thing the TV stations have started doing is during the show, they advertise another show at the bottom of the screen. It is only a ten second intrusion, but really, do they have to do that?

Not sure what the average in mainland Europe is, but in the UK it's around $9 a gallon.

Even when you factor in the difference in volume between the US gallon and Imperial gallon it still comes out at $7 a gallon.
