Standing in line at my cell phone provider's store waiting at least half an hour because the old people ahead of me need the internet explained to them multiple times.

You have no patience...half hour is pretty much normal amount of time for cell phone stores here year round.

Agree. There should be an "express lane" for people who don't need to be coddled. If the transaction takes more than dive minutes, you automatically go back to the other line.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I don't get why it's such a big deal. It has been going on for years (for many people it's one of their family traditions) and most of the people have the next day off so they can spend that with their families as well. For the record, neither I nor anyone in my family has ever lined up for a black friday sale so I'm not defending something that I do, I just don't understand why people are upset about it.

While it has been going on for years you're absolutely right about that, it's just something I'm kinda surprised by. The fact that people are really willing to spend all of Thanksgiving in a tent outside of a store, as opposed to being at home with family. Not really upset about it at all, that's their choice to make, not mine. I can only control my own choices.

However on the other hand, I probably shouldn't be too surprised by any of this given the fact that you have people in some parts of the country who get trampled, stomped, run-over, pepper sprayed, etc by others over this kind of thing.

Not everybody likes driving with wind blowing in their face. Then you have to consider people do have allergies.

I know that my Koss earbuds that I get at Walmart for $20 are just as good as the $100 Skullcandy headphones my brother bought at Disney World, which are now broken from being stepped on.

Skullcandy sound decent, but they quality of the product is poor. I went through three pairs of their earbuds in less than six months. I took care of them too, keeping them in the case when they weren't in use, not throwing them around, not yanking the cord. I've had a pair of Klipsch for over a year now, and couldn't be happier about them.

Not being able to find the 360 version of NBA 2K13 at Wal-Mart and having to settle for the PS3 version.

More of a minor gear grinder if anything, as I was lucky enough to be able to find that PS3 version in the basket after the initial morning rush.

I don't see anything wrong with scratching your armpits through your shirt in public.

Definitely seems a lot more acceptable than scratching other areas.

-People with over 20 items in the 20 items or less checkout line.

-Holidays in general. Birthday falls in that time frame as well so it's included. I just feel like there's too much phoniness and selfishness that goes on during this time span.

-Useless information in sports tickers. ESPN is famous for this. "___ missed go ahead basket with 58.3 seconds to go." Saw one on NBATV that said "Jonas Valanciunas left game with twisted ankle, returned a few minutes later." Who cares?

-Also commentators who call moves, plays the wrong way. I've heard too many commentators say that Georgia Tech runs a spread option or basketball commentators call regular one handed dunks windmills or act like they've never seen the euro-step before when about 70% of players in the NBA try to do it on a regular basis.

when your with people you know its a bit awkward, especially other areas, you just do the hands in your pockets thing and hope no one notices the movement down there.
