maui - oh yes especially the counterperson and the customer are good friends or flirting with each other while you are waiting.
"EXCUSE ME! I would like to be out of the store by next Monday!"
(make sure the manager is nearby Hee hee)

I can't remember what was said, but someone made a smart crack about something as I was leaving. I hit the brakes, copped a U-ey, and fixed the offender with a stern mother's eye and asked "Excuse me? Would you care to repeat that?"
And behind me I hear the Elder Kitten groan sotto voce, "Oh God. Now you've made her mad."
I find that as time goes by, I tolerate less and less rudeness and nonsense from people. I don't know if I have less patience or if my crap-o-meter pegs out at a lower level than it used to, but there it is.

It really irritates me when I have a witty post ready to go and then find out the thread has been locked. Don't the moderators know I'm posting and can't they wait until I do post to lock the thread? *hmph*

It irritates me when I do something I think is a good idea only to find it's a really dumb idea and I've got to go undo it again.

Frankly, I'm curious to see how long they can drag this discussion out when they're basically saying the same thing over and over.
Sorta reminds me of the Monty Python argument machine...

....when there's an itch starting on the middle of your back while you are driving with the busy traffic and you can't take your hands off the wheel! 
agh!

toomanycomics: yes, that's pretty bad--but even worse is the itch on the arch of your foot in rush hour traffic on the Interchange!

.....I'm at a retail store attempting to complete a purchase with a clerk behind the counter, and the phone rings. Clerk answers the phone and procedes to take care of the phone business. In the meantime, I stand there waiting. I have been known to walk out when this happens. I am there, at the store, making a purchase. The person on the phone did not take the trouble to go to the store. Put em on hold, finish with my purchase. Or, once again, I will walk out.

bunni - ooohhh! itchy!
luculent - my mother did that a few times and it's usually left a full cart of groceries!
another one....
....when someone had talked you down from $5.00 to a $3.00 on a item and he/she hands you a $20 bill.
how rude

always bring your ones, fives, and tens with you.
Make it look like that's all you have on you.
the buyer and seller BOTH will be happy!

The cashier that gives out his/her last dollar bill and does not call the manager for change until after the next customer is waiting for their change.
Was the cashier waiting for a visit from the Dollar Fairy ?
I love it even more when they just hand you a fist full of quarters and state "sorry, I ran out of ones" I came to buy a gallon of milk, not add to my quarter collection. And even more amazing, still no call to the manager for change. (the dollar fairy must be due soon) Finally, three customers later and 3 pounds of coin, a voice is heard on the intercom... "need change on register 3"

I know that as I age - I get to be more and more of a grouch - BUUUT -
Down at the local "foodbuster" store they have 11 - count them - 11 checkout lines. Have you ever seen all of them in use?? Even Christmas time when the store is packed tight with raving nutcases?? It's always between 3 and 5.
People who have been on foodstamps forever, that still try to buy booze with them - on the off chance that the rules perhaps changed yesterday.
Folks that don't even think about paying - like it never occured to them - until the cashier names the total - and we are treated to the sight on them STARTING to look for the checkbook (It's always a check) - and then a pen - and then locate the ID.
And yes - I did poorly on the Road Rage quiz as well.

Heres a few more...(got irritated today due to these exact things happening):
Standing in line at the market and the person in front of you digs and digs and digs and digs in that little plastic egg shaped change holder for a penny...oh, and heres a nickel...and a dime...heres another nickel...dig dig dig.
An appointment at the dentist and your allergies are kicking up so bad your nose is either dripping or stopped up and you cant breath out of your mouth.

maui - especially when the dentist is asking you questions while you're under or with all the stuff in your mouth. 
couldn't they ask you before they do that? but NOOooooo! 
another irritation: ... family member checking every 3 minutes whether you're still using the computer.

toomany, my son does that... he hears the pc turn on, he hears me sit down, and then he promptly runs out to ask "How much time till it's my turn?" Geez!
edited to add the only reason I'm out here in peace now is because they're both still sleeping, lol

Oooh, both kittens do that and it drives me NUTS! It's like little buzzers go off in their heads the minute my butt hits the chair. One of them will scurry into the computer room as I'm downloading the email and promptly ask if he can get on the computer.
My response varies from "Yes, when I'm finished" to "When I'm darned good and ready to get off!"

Heres a new one as of today:
A gal was on THE VIEW, and she was married to some dude that beat the crap out of her, and then wound up beating the crap out of his adopted (not really adopted though) daughter who was only 11 I think. The gal let the little girl lay there for HOURS after a beating, in a coma, and didnt call 911 because she was loaded and "scared" and "brainwashed" and "loved him". Now, she wants to "help" others in the same situation. Huh? Oh, right! I get it. Let some jerk beat you up, beat up a kid, dont do a dam thing, let the kid die, THEN help OTHERS. Uh huh.

One more....(gotta use this thread as a vent).
AA folks say that alcoholism is a "disease". That irritates me no end. I guess that means I have a "smoking" disease since I smoke? Or, I have a "temper" disease because I have a hot one from time to time? My husband is an alcoholic, sober 2 years now, from drinking for the past 40 years. Even hearing someone say its a disease irritates HIM.
