You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I called corporate and supposedly the store manager will be calling me within 3 business days. Corporate said the employees are not suppose to touch customers.

I had 2 items in the bag, too, a bag of grapes and a diet coke.

A bag of grapes and a diet coke? Clearly these are the tell tale signs of a hardened criminal.

Out of curiosity, what was the actual price discrepancy? How much did you think you overpaid?

I finally was able to go over to CS and I pulled a duh moment out of the hat. The grapes were priced at 1.88/pound. I thought I saw 2.22/pound on the sale tape. The people at CS pointed out that the 2.22 that I saw was the actual weight, not the price. I stopped reading the sales tape after 2.22 and didn't see the 1.88/pound. They said it happens all the time.

Egg on face, besides grapes.

Regardless, I shouldn't have been touched by the door greeter.

I don't want to cost anyone a job, but I don't want what happened to me to other people.

This grinds my gears, even if I typo it myself.

Yeah, good point.(fixed)

That wasn't a good sentence structure early in the morning.

When you buy a game controller and one of the damn buttons doesn't work.

I'd be furious.

When there is an accident on the other side of the highway and people stop and coast at like 10-15 mph. And it stays that way until everything is clear.

My Xbox 360 controllers had a bad habit of that. Usually the A button, followed by the thumbsticks. Thankfully the wired one I use for some PC games is fine.

What's with this apparent new trend in online videos where the video plays in a vertical rectangle flanked by 2 rectangles with blurred versions of the video playing? I find these annoying as the flanking blurred version distract me from the clear central video.

I always thought they did that for SD clips on HD screens, so a 4:3 video will "fit" the 16:9 screen and the blurred sides made the SD vid look better, but I didn't know they did that with online vids

Exactly. And people still have no idea how to turn their phone sideways to record a video.

We hate it at work.

[to finish this statement myself]

Sites that do this, such as ESPN, really annoy me.
