There are !!!SIGNS!!! posted--> Slower traffic keep right

if you are in the left lane, you should be passing the cars on the right.

If you look into your rear view mirror, and you see cars right behind you and they are unable to pass you...speed up or move over to the right!!!

I agree. The leftmost lane is called the "Passing Lane" for a reason. If you are not passing other cars, move over to the right another lane. This is a self-fixing problem. If you people are mad that I'm passing you on the right, then move over so I can't. There, problem fixed you slowheads.

I just wanted to start a new thread to have a place to just ..... about stuff that irritates you.

What irritates me? The "grinds my gears" thread showing up in "today's posts" that I tried to post in but was restricted from because it is in the Women's Only social group. I should not have even seen it to begin with! Hopefully they can add in changes to the new software to fix that.

or to the cell phone issue, I've really had people walk up to my counter, get a call and tell me 'just a minute' then stand there and talk on the phone-with a line of people waiting !!!!!

Remember when restaurants use to make people leave for being rude,not having manners (including their kids)? For the bank, a good response would have been "Please step aside until you are ready to conduct your transactions".

I have considered buying a Trak phone to throw in the glove box for emergencies. But, the minutes expire, so they're useless.

I fixed this problem myself. I do not use the cell a lot. When I can, I use a friends unlimited cell. When I'm by myself, I use my pre-paid tmobile to go phone. New cheapy tmobile-to-go phone $40. After you buy $100 worth of 10 cent minutes, your minutes take a year to expire. I roughly buy more minutes at the rate of one $100 card per year (less than $10 per month). I do not waste minutes with texting. If for some reason I need a new phone, I'm out forty bucks. If I'm in trouble, I can make a call.

The self-scan at the checkout.
This would be a great idea if they actually included the hand wands that cashiers have. The flatbed scanners can not scan tiny upc codes or wrinkly small plastic bag codes. I now refuse to use these anymore. And while I'm still on topic of the grocery store.......

Express Lanes..... they are NOT express if you have to wait for people to write checks, and they wait until they are told the total to OPEN their purse! They could have filled out 90 percent of the check before that! Express Lanes NEED software to only allow up to 12/12/20 items (depending on store) PER RECEIPT! It should STOP when it hits the maximum. I can't tell you how much time I've waste behind people with more items than specified. Express Lanes are NOT express if they allow checks anyhow. People do not know how to write, make mistakes, and even do not have anything with them to fill out their checks in the first place. Where did all the cash only lanes go? I miss those days.

Grocery Store checkout with credit cards......hey people, you can usually scan your credit card any time after the cashier has rung up your FIRST item, this would speed things up once they get done. Quit waiting until you are told your TOTAL before getting out your credit card from your wallet.

When I get a ticket because some idiot cut me off on the road.

When merging from 2 lanes down to 1...that 1 guy or girl that refuses to merge and let someone in front of them. You see when cars start merging in front of you that you go back and forth (1 from the left lane and one from the right)...

Yesterday I had a lady (older, no offense) get on the horn when I was merging in front of her. Now mind you...it was a valid merge, and there were two car lengths between the guy i was merging behind and her. She acted like I was cutting her off and hit the horn. I even flipped my rear view because I really got tired of looking at her thumbs up sign and crap like that. HEY LADY...YOU SHOULD EAT MORE CRACKERJACKS SO YOU CAN RENEW YOUR LICENSE :)

people who wanna race because i drive a modified car, even though they'll quite clearly lose...what makes you think i'm going to waste my expensive premium fuel just for the chance to kick the snot out of your fart-can equipped honda weighed down with 250lbs of gay body kit? people who cut off tractor-trailers...hey, high speed...you really think that 80ft long, 70,000lb vehicle's gonna stop quicker than your car, or feel much more than a soft thud when your pile gets crumpled like a beer can on a frat boy's forehead? more to come...

I build self check-outs at my job. I agree they should include the hand scanners, some stores do request it when we build them. It should be mandatory. If the self checkout you use says U-SCAN or GENESIS on it, there's a good chance I had my hand in building it.

Edit: I should also add, me building self check-outs for a job is something I hate, so this still works in this thread :)

a quick apology...my last post wasn't directed at anyone on here. thus far, no one on this forum has asked me anything about my experiences overseas, much less that dumbest of dumb questions. i apologize if anyone felt threatened by me. now...back on topic. human rights groups...why does there have to be some sort of group for every person in America? for the sake of all things blessed and good, there's a group for the rights of illegal aliens! the name alone is a contradiction. i'm thinking about starting to Coalition for the Rights of Lower/Middle Class White People...think i'll get any support from Uncle Sam?

Misguided Hateful Miserable Whiny Annoying Frigid Funny Looking Feminists.

The idiot at the front of a line of cars out on the road driving 7mph because it's a subhuman garbage which has ZERO consideration for people who have to actually GET SOMETHING DONE

Arrogant idiots. People who can't be told a :censored: thing, act like and think that they know EVERYTHING, even though they are clueless.

Women who can't :censored:

Incompetent idiots. The kind where you tell them to do something, they agree, and then hopelessly :censored: it up. Like today. I tell two idiots, I have to pick my brother in laws sister up from school by 3:45. It's 3:15. I've been running errands all day. I send them on ONE about a mile away. I look up and it's 3:30. Oh, they must be back by now. Time to go and get the kid. No. They're JUST ALMOST LEAVING. :censored: :censored: :censored:


I AM NOT DONE :D

People who whine about the new forum layout when the upgrades aren't even complete yet.
Yeah, I agree, that's pretty lame and clueless.

A post for this thread occurred to me today. Now, I can't remember what it was. Grrrrrr. That's my complaint for now.

Old age sucks, LOL. If I remember it this evening, I'll edit this post. :facepalm:
