What are your pet peeves? - Page 18

Jughead P. Jones · 08-27-2006, 05:42 AM

Personally, my pet peeves are very limited.

I cannot stand rude people under any circumstances.

People who push others out of their way...people who make others feel stupid for something that they may have said...people who fight over the last item in a store...

...can you tell I work in retail?

Especially when no one is posting and there is nothing to read.

Hey... it's been a while since we've played with hidden text!!!

Ah, working in retail! Those were the days.............................................. ....

NOT! Been there, done that, never again. It was interesting to meet people at times, but I hated those who felt you were their personal servant, or that they were responsible for your paycheck!

And welcome Jughead!

First of all, thanks for the welcome, RStar!

And, boy...lemme tell you, when you live in a small town where jobs are incredibly hard to come by, you pretty much have to take what you can get. But, whatever pays the bills I guess.

Why, just today for instance, I came into my department (I work in the food section), and I ended up having to cover pets, seasonal, toys and housewares in addition to that.

Yeah...not a good day.

LOL!

People who relinquish their right-of-way at stop signs. If it's your turn to go, freaking go! I don't want to play the "You go. No, you go" game with you, all it does is cause more confusion. Know when you're supposed to go, and go!

Kevy Baby · 08-28-2006, 03:22 PM

Sing it brutha!!!

In the distant past, when someone would wave me on, I would wave back at them to go. If they then STILL insisted I go, I've been know to put my car in park, get OUT of the car and wave them on.

Wouldn't do that any more.

Isn't that the truth. We have shopping center next to where we live and it is filled with stop-sign laden intersections. Not only is everyone playing the "You go. No, you go" game but they are all driving SUV's which are much larger than the vehicles they had in mind when they built the parking area. You also get to play the afformentioned game with each and every one of them who start to back out, then stop, then start, then stop. Nobody with the guts to make a decision is anywhere to be found.

I feel like I'm risking my life, or at my truck, every time I have to drive through there.

More driving pet peeves:

You MUST pull over for an emergency vehicle with flashing lights. Just slowing down in your lane is NOT acceptable.

When you come to a school bus stopped on either side of a road with the bus's red lights flashing, you must stop, and remain stopped as long as the red lights are flashing. Do NOT honk at me to go when I am stopped for this purpose.

Pedestrians have the right of way in when crossing the street at a corner even if there is not crosswalk painted on the street. But, pedestrians, please use a craosswlak if there is one close by and don't just cross a busy street whenever and wherever you feel like it.

Bikes follow the same rules as cars. Don't ride on teh wrong side of the street doofus.

If you are turning right onto a multi-lane highway, keep to the right lane when you turn.

And stop signs and stop lights are for you bikers too. You learned all those hand signals at the bike rodeo in 6th grade for a reason, cause you're supposed to use them so people can tell what you intend to do.

And if there is a bike land provided please use it, just because there are 20 of you doesn't mean you get to take up the whole dang road for yourselves.

(obviously I work in a bike heavy area and they drive me nuts)
