What's Your Beef?
Posted on 10/31/2003 10:13:14 AM PST by ned_budge
What's Your Beef?
1.) people who take up the whole aisle at the grocery store with the way they position their cart and stand bent over looking at items (especially those that get annoyed when you say 'excuse me').
2.) Drivers who pass you like a bat out of hell when you are already going 5 to 10 over the speed limit, only to idle in next lane over at a stop light.
3.) Seeing a 'Best of CD' of one you favorite music artist(s) of years past only to find your favorite song by the artist(s) is the only live version on the CD.
4.) Local media bragging on a TV commercial that they brought you the news first especially when the news is tragic.
5.) Uneducated Liberals
6.) Educated Liberals
Thats just a few off the top of my head.
I would like to see yours!

Yesterday, this ditz in the EXPRESS lane of the supermarket just ahead of me unloaded about 20 items....then, once she got the total, wrote out her check and after she balanced her checkbook, handed the check to the clerk. She received $40 cash back. THEN she handed the clerk another item--contact cleaner--and--you guessed it--paid for it by check (not the cash she'd just been handed), balancing her checkbook before she handed the check to the clerk. She also wanted a "control number" on her receipt, which necessitated the supervisor to be called to the EXPRESS lane. Just as the supervisor showed up, she said, "I don't have time for this. I have to be back at work in five minutes."
<pIt took an act of great self-control on my part not to pummel her to death by beating her about the head and shoulders with my loaf of Italian bread.

Mine boil down to this.
My beef is the sound of food..
That is.. especially.. eating into the phone... I can't stand it. Also anyone chewing, smacking, slurping loudly on anything.... I'm an easy going guy, but it just grates on me...

I dont like those women in the WalMart that have to stand in the isle (blocking the whole thing) talking back and forth like its their own private living rooms.
I dont like ppl that chew anything with their mouths open.
I cant stand those little globbers of toothpaste left in the sink.
I dont like it when ANYONE messes with ANYTHING on MY desk.
I dont like dried up milk in the bottom of a glass.
I dont like black dog hair stuck to my white socks.

RE: your #1
I am not a ventriloquist, however, I am able to throw my voice when I say "EXcUSe ME" to those folks that use the grocery store as their personal chat site for friends, or the ones that clog the aisle with their carts. They jump a bit, looking around to see where the voice came from, and 9 times out of 10 I get an 'oh, I'm sorry'.
Mr. uvular usually stays 5 paces behind me during these excursions, pretending he doesn't know me.
People that don't stop at stop signs, with nary a look either way before plowing through the intersection are my biggest beef.

Non-smokers who think that they carry a personal no-smoking area that extends 5 meters around them and intentionally intrude into areas where smoking is permitted to make themselves obnoxious.
They have taken over America and now they are working on Japan.

1) My Boss's "Corporate-Speak" - "Action items, initiative, moving forward, paradigm, spearhead, etc..."
2) People who try and sneak extra items through the Express Lane. (Thinking that 15 cases of the same kind of soda counts as one item).
3) Co-workers who start a sentence with, "Can I ask you something?" My response is always, "You just did."
4) People who don't "close up the ranks" while waiting in line. Nothing irritates me more than waiting in line, but it's even worse when there's 10-15 feet between people.
5) People who don't bother looking both ways before crossing the street anymore. When did that change? Was there a law passed that states you don't have to look before you cross? Are you just assuming that I'll slow down or stop for you?
6) People who make more than 3 transactions at the ATM.
7) People who say "supposably" instead of "supposedly". Or people who say "prolly" instead of "probably".
8) People who don't know the difference between "your" & "you're", "their", "there" & "they're", etc. That's one of my biggest peeves.
9) People who still insist on saying this is a "War for oil".
10) Co-workers who continue to say "hello" to me throughout the day every time we pass in the hallways. I've seen you once, we've already said "hello", now knock it off! A grim, tight-lipped nod is sufficient.
That's my top 10
