Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 154 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Here's one that just came up this weekend --

Talkative barbers.

Maybe it's just me, but when I go in to get a haircut, I really don't want to engage in conversation about my weekend, my kids, my hobbies, or those of the person cutting my hair. I just want to get this done and get on with my life.

Stop asking me questions and shut up and cut my hair. Thank you.

Agree, I would rather sit there in silence instead of making idle chit chat that is meaningless.

I've done the same when sitting anywhere near the foul lines at Fenway.

It's garage sale season, full of idiots who put up signs without a date ("Sale Today!"), and/or never take down their signs. So I have begun taking the signs and depositing them in the yards of the offenders.

Those "family member stickers" people put on the back of their car with the mom and a dad and how ever many kids they have.

Extra tilting if there is a dog or a cat.

Heh, I remember when people used to get those "Baby On Board" stickums on their car. Like 15 years ago everybody with a kid had one. And what's worse, they would justify it by saying, "Oh, well, if I'm in an accident, at least the first responders will know there's a kid somewhere!" Yeah, what if you don't have your kid with you that time you get drunk and drive your car into a pond? Some unlucky fool is going to be risking his life to save a kid who is sleeping at home with the babysitter.

Thirty-minute smalltalk with a stranger isn't exactly an upgrade.

No s***, I was joking, but it would be funny if someone else did it.

I like the convo when getting my hair cut.

When im at a friends house chilling and they open up youtube and put on something to listen to/watch for us all. Every time they have ads! How the **** do you not have the ad block addon?? Last time I was here I even installed it on your chrome and now its gone somehow within a week?!

So tilting its 2013 how do you still have ads on youtube, how on earth can you enjoy looking at that **** and watching the ads before each video? Do you like waiting the 5 seconds to skip it?

also SMH, stupid term for stupids.

When next in line at the supermarket checkout:

Someone else joins the line behind me, then the inevitable problem causing a delay (price-check etc) with the person in front, meanwhile a spot opens up at the next checkout: douchebag behind me dives straight in, doesn't even offer me the spot.

I ALWAYS offer this spot to the person in front when the roles are reversed. Good manners imo.

Taking the first bite of a fat, delicious onion ring and getting grease in the corners of my mouth.

I could always fold it in half, but it just doesn't feel the same.
