Pet peeves

**pzkpfw** · 13th December 2009, 10:41

Pretty much everything pisses me off, so just the ones I remember from this week:

People who push push push push push the pedestrian crossing buttons.

Supermarket staff who use "the claw" technique to handle my bread.

Shop staff who say "OK, go now" when I'm waiting for the EFT-POS terminal to tell me to swipe my card.

I hate those shop assitant BASTARDS that hold on to your EFTPOS card till the very last moment, instead of giving it back as soon as they've swiped it....

OMG! Flashback!.... Why is it that you meatbombs used to eat roadkill possums anyway, Owl?
The 185 I first started dropping meatbombs from thankfully DIDN'T have an inflight door... got rid of the aroma pretty quick!

We've been picking on this twat at work, constant peeving...

Every day for the last 6 weeks we have been emptying the dude's stapler. He goes to use it and finds no staples...he started to laugh it off but last week he reached boiling point and and fucking lost it big time, shouting and roaring like a demented 5 year old he he.

If the reaction was not so funny then we would have stopped....but it was funny, se we carried on.

The next plan is to put his stapler in a jelly, now that is fun.

BTW, this guy used to be a biker till his missus stopped him. He told me the other day that the ACC increases are good for the biking community because it will make us "safer and more viable road users"

What the fuck is a 'Viable Road User?"

...and he votes National.....

Other pet peeves:
Getting text messages from people asking ME to ring THEM
Telemarketers
A full supermarket and only 1 checkout open, and half a dozen staff lounging round gas-bagging or texting (each other, probably)
Idiots parking their 4 x 4 complete with boat and trailer across 6 parking slots at the supermarket, including the disabled ones.

Telemarketers - Ask them to ring back in 10 minutes when the home owner will be in, then when they do put on a really dodgy voice and ask them to come over and present in person because you and your biker mates like 'fresh meat'

A full supermarket and only 1 checkout open, and half a dozen staff lounging round gas-bagging or texting (each other, probably) - Load up three trolleys full of assorted goods and just abandom them, they fucking HATE that

Idiots parking their 4 x 4 complete with boat and trailer across 6 parking slots at the supermarket, including the disabled ones - secretly disconnect the boat from the trailer and watch them drive away

We've done the one with the trolleys - and you're right, they hate it.

And when people text me to call them I always call back on their home number, if they're local - free call, of course - and leave a ' returning your call message'. Works almost every time.

I've got a ripper of a life, thanks for asking and thanks also for taking an interest in my posts.

While I don't have an issue with Patrick, peasea's post was pretty funny!
