Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 69 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I'm at Costco twice a week shopping for my business. The new trend is people pulling their shopping carts from the side rather than pushing them from behind. This annoys the **** out of me. By pulling your cart you are now taking up 2 lanes of traffic you inconsiderate ass hat. If I were an evil person I would roll up behind you and ram my cart into your Achilles tendon. For now I will have to be content with merely imagining such a heinous act. I cannot guarantee that I won't snap at some point in the future.

Oh wow. Never have seen that before, that would tilt me like crazy.

Another pet peeve of mine. Nothing in life is free. We're paying for it somehow.

A fifty year old $8/hour worker with a pedo stache who all day has been handling dirty boxes and bags and probably his pecker prepared that sample. Pretty sure there's an opportunity cost in there somewhere.

I was hoping for some Good Will Hunting chain of thought about how there are unseen costs that I'm not seeing.

Adults who use the word "veggies" when talking to other adults (talking to children/mentally handicapped just barely scrapes a pass). I feel ******ed just typing it.

Speaking of free...the use of "free gift" in advertising.

"Buy in the next 30 seconds and we'll send you this FREE GIFT!"

All gifts are free, you ******ed advertising copywriter.

Driving down the road and seeing a bag (aka "the most beautiful thing in the world") floating in my lane. Nothing puts me in an instantly-bad mood quicker. You've got 5 seconds to hope for it to move to another lane, or for you to be able to dodge it somehow, then there's that moment where you pass over it and look in your mirror to check if it got stuck under your car or not. Seeing the bag floating behind your car is a fist-pump moment. Not seeing it sends me into a level of RAGE that is unbecoming of an allegedly-sane person.

When people make cat sounds in conversation. Meows, growls, hisses... they all tilt the **** out of me. The worst is when they say, "Rrreeooar," and make a clawing gesture at the air.

Yeah that's just a really bad sentence. It also makes no sense. How can something that is instant be quicker than something else that is instant?

People who can't differentiate between a trash can and a recycle bin. We have at work, labeled, differently colored containers that have written in big bold letters : "TRASH" and "PLASTIC/PAPER". It's really not that ****ing complicated. Why is there a half eaten bagel in the recycle bin and an empty unrinsed milk jug in the trash? FFF UUUUU
