Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 1790 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Actually mine is people who get upset about being asked to show their receipts as they leave. Even if it's ultimately pointless and yes you are not obligated to do it, that monolithic corporation is providing a few people jobs who probably aren't all that skilled and all I have to pay is a moments delay as I leave the store? I'm fine with it and get irritated at people who consider it a personal affront to their integrity that some bored senior has to draw a highlighter line on their receipt.

It shouldn't bother me because what do I care if some random dude is in a bad mood? But it does.

wow. The checkers should piss you off but don’t - the anti thread

The vaguely chocolate Frosty or the overly peppermint one?

That costco checker tried to double charge me for my TP once. Got the refund, only after 20min of standing at the exit. $18 on a ~$250+ bill.

Specifically, on costco receipts, they tally the number of items. A quick count is all they are doing at the door.

A quick glance to the CS desk would've told me the pro-move was go and grab another TP

I'm all about pro-moves. But I guess that's why I'm McMuffin.

People who say 'egregious' and 'disingenuous' like they are clever. These words both popped up over a year and now they are used everywhere. Completely annoys me.

In his defense, he didn't specify over what year. He might have been talking about England in the 1520's.

(and yes, they both come from Latin)

How about "gratuitous" - that seems real popular these days...
