Don't have time to scroll through the thread, so my apologies if these two have already been mentioned. Then again even if they have been mentioned, they annoy me so much that I don't mind mentioning them again.

1) NOTHING TICKS ME OFF MORE THAN when you hand your credit card, debit card, health club membership card, grocery store card, etc. to a cashier and then they play with it before, after, or during the time they swipe the card. JESUS flipping CHRIST! Is it necessary to bend my card backwards & forewards, tap it against the counter, as you wait for the card to be approved, cough into the hand that you're holding my card with??? Man that ticks me off so much. I guess, it shouldn't because this happens easily 40% of the time you make a transaction, but I'm the type of person who takes care of their possessions. My cell phone is going on 4 years old (I've never had a case for it), and people ask me all the time if it's new. That's because I take care of it extremely well. Tilts me SO HARD that other people can't have the common courtesy to take care of my cards in the same fashion. I had the girl who checks members in at my local health club crack my membership card last month because of how hard she was bending it in between her fingers. I wanted to scream at her, lol!

2) The second thing that tilts me to no end is going to the supermarket, and they all have that stupid motorized conveyor belt now. If you're a cashier turn the damn thing off, so I can put my groceries on the belt and THEN you can turn it back on to bring the groceries closer. I'm trying to reach into my shopping cart & place groceries on the conveyor belt in the order that I want you to bag them together in. I do NOT want to have to put those groceries onto a damn assembly line. Just wait 90 flipping seconds and let me put my damn groceries on the counter. Thank You.

Oh my, I almost forgot, AINEC!!!

My new #1...

1) Why the F, do I need an automatic sink to ration out how much water I need to wash my hands with?!? I'm a grown-ass man; I think I can handle turning a sink off & on. The same thing applies for paper towel dispensers. Oh my God, I hate those things so much. Most people are nasty and don't bother to wash their hands. The rest don't get enough soap & lather those hands up nice & good scrubbing for the required 30 seconds to kill germs & bacteria. If you wash your hands like you are suppose, you need more than the 6-8 seconds that those GD automatic sinks will give you of water. And then it takes another 10 seconds of waiving your hand back & forth underneath that sink (which makes you look like an imbecile) before you get another 6-8 seconds of water. They managed to take something that should take 90 seconds to do, and turned it into a 3 minute project. I don't give a rat's ass about the 35 cents they are losing each time I wash my hands. Give me my 90 seconds back you bleeping, bleeping, bleepers!!!

Whew! It felt amazing to get that off my chest. I will climb back down off my soap box now, and go back to being a civilized human being. Thank you Greeear for starting this thread & giving me a chance to vent. I needed that!

This is a good one -- I love those automatic sinks.

The motorized conveyor belt isn't new, but the automated sensor that continues to send items to the checker unless it senses an item is in front of it is relatively new. The checkers have the option to turn those sensors on and off, but they always leave it on. So, you wind up placing an item at the front of the conveyor belt to have the darn thing stop and give yourself room to empty your basket out on to the belt.

Inevitably, the cashier grabs the first item and starts scanning as you're trying to handle glass items and other delicate purchases. All it takes is some common sense to see that the customer needs an extra couple of seconds to remove the items from their cart, but you can never get that from the cashier. I've had glass items break because of this in the past.

I beg to differ. Supermarkets simply don't replace those belts as often as they should. So, sometimes the belt will be warped and if you place a tall glass bottle on the belt expecting it to be still, but the checker grabs the item keeping the belt still; while you are in mid-air with the glass bottle; then you can see how a glass bottle would tip over onto a metal can & break. Plus, all the checker has to do is turn the sensor off until they see that your cart is empty. 9 times out of 10 they start checking the items, and I'm still digging items out of my cart while they stand there waiting on more items to check. So, it doesn't speed the process up; all it does is make things more difficult for me. Obviously, this isn't a big deal, but it's one of those little things that pushes my hot button! Lol.

Also, to the poster who said that I was old. Maybe I am, but I can still remember a time where I didn't feel like I was setting my items on a treadmill.

I always thought those people they put in infomercials to show how dangerous/bad/messy some common task was were playing it up.

Perhaps you could get such a job. You know, the guy who tries to open a bag of chips and instead of opening it neatly he tears the bag in half and chips go flying everywhere, looks at the camera with a forlorn expression and shrugs his shoulders while the voiceover asks "has this ever happened to you?"

No you're just a spaz. Either load faster and less autistically or pick cashiers who aren't 16 year old girls or 55 year old women.
