You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

After taking 4 flights in the last 48 hours there a lots of things about airports or more specifically people at airports that grind my gears.

1. People who 'race' you to get onto the plane. I'm sitting there going "WTF man it's not like you are going to score a better seat than me by pushing in!"

2. People who come and stand right in front of you for no reason when collecting bags from the baggage carousel. It's almost like they are trying to establish low post position or something and is just bizarre behaviour. Rather than everyone standing back and only coming in to collect once they see their bags they crowd the carousel like that will result in them getting their bags first.

3. Not sure if this is the same in the US but prices for things at airport shops. So if I want to buy a small bottle of water it's really going to cost me $5.60?!

Yes! I also hate the parent who can't control their bad *** kid who wants run around like its a Mickey D's playground. I want to trip 'em so bad...

School buses in the morning.

Going 35 mph down hill. Max speed. In a 55 mph zone.

The guys in the NBA forum that spend all of their time trolling.

I hate the word troll, but it def. applies to a lot of people.

If they were trolling, wouldn't they be banned?

CDs, as in Compact Discs? Get with the times, Grandpa. :wink:

Haha. I stream from my phones speakers but it isn't good quality sound. I should get a head unit with an AUX input or something.

The good news is it finally worked last night. Jammed so hard on the ride home.

I remember quite a few years ago I bought a bottle of water from the magazine shop in the terminal waiting for my plane. Before boarding they were confiscating all liquids. I bought this from YOU! It has a sticker on it with YOUR logo on it? WTF?

When the place you work at closes at 9pm and someone comes in one minute before you lock the doors and then takes 20 minutes shopping.

Not the subtle trolling, like generalizing with fanbases...

I get tired of seeing people take shots at certain fan bases and only showing up in threads, when they have something negative to say about a certain player... and before that, you'll never see them in the thread.

Other than that, it's a pretty clean forum with some good debates and discussion.

Some lady try to pull that at me on Super Bowl Sunday one year. See was walking up just as I was locking the doors. She said she wanted to just come in and see one thing. I told her sorry, all the sales people had gone home and I had to continue closing the store. She kept insisting and said that she lived 45 minutes away. I just gave her the old "Sorry, come back tomorrow" line. Man, she was pissed.

Have I mentioned lately that I'm so glad to be out of retail?

Lol I feel ya. In 2010 on Christmas eve we close at 5pm (whole foods). Some lady told me she just needed to get her turkey for tomorrow. I decided to be nice and let her in. Turns out she didn't even get a turkey. Next lady who needed to get bread I told her sorry ma'am. Lol.

When I worked for Home Depot, we had a few similar

We had a couple come in at 8:45 and wanted 16 gallons of paint mixed (all a particular sheen that only comes in 1 gallon cans) and also wanted a bunch of plumbing and lumber hand picked for them, while they looked at some other crap. Yeah, they were spending money, but they didn't get out 'til 9:45... smh.

Disappearing socks. Somehow from the hamper, to the washer/dryer, to the laundry basket, one of those damn things goes missing. Won't happen with dress socks, but only my white ankle socks. Only for it to never be seen again.

Women with dirty bathrooms.

People with dirty shower curtains.

Anyone who questions my opinion. I'm right and you're wrong. Deal with it.

The closest movie theater that serves alcohol being at Patriots Place in Foxborough, Mass. Regular movie theaters just don't cut it after experience this wonderful creation.

My cat's refusal to puke on the hardwood floors. Always has to be in a room with carpet.
