Vanity- What grinds your gears?
July 2, 2010

Posted on 07/02/2010 7:01:42 PM PDT by InvisibleChurch

Pulling out of the drive up at the coffee shop the girl utters, "Have a good one".

men who use those plastic sticks on the grocery check out lanes to separate their cans of beets from the next person's bag of apples. A man ought to be able to defend his turf.

when I say "thank you" and the response is "no problem"

I used to think a fair amount of horizontal separation between groups of groceries on the belt would be sufficient notice they belong to different people - but it seems the checkout people have extreme tunnel vision (but who with their head up their ass would not?) and they just keep sliding stuff through til they see a plastic stick cross the beam.

I wonder how they handle the confusion at the stores where the plastic sticks are sold?

People who try to force themselves into the elevator before anyone has been able to exit.

Speaking of elevators.. Isn't it polite to face forward towards the door instead of attempting to engage total strangers in conversation for 30 seconds? Is it hot enough for you? Whats in the bag? Is this elevator slow or what?

Yes I know it’s a typo but we don’t have an edit here after you hit post. I would starve to death if I had to type for a living.

People who let stupid, inconsequential things grind their gears. If someone gets wound up over checking line sticks, they burn all their energy on useless emotion.

al baby, my hubby just asked me for a snog. What’s a snog? I got him a peanut butter sandwich. He’s already had dinner and dessert.

...copyright as copywrite

Uh, yeah. We watch some NASCAR on ESPN and near the end of each race they have this statement " This copywritten broadcast..."

First time I saw that I thought WTF, but it has been that way for weeks. Know, someone needs to be taken out and shot. ESPN and NASCAR are pretty big time and besides, is that not the sort of thing usually put on the screen by lawyers?

I am screaming at the screen, "It is COPYRIGHTED, DUMBASSES!"

A girl who puts out then won’t go home.

Puts out for how long and stays for how long. You have to be specific on these tenuous things.

Idiotic women who stand there fuming because I haven't used the plastic thing to separate my evil meat products from whatever it is that they have to put down. They stand there and stare, expecting you to put the damned plastic thing down so they can proceed to load up their crap.

And then they probably bitch about such silliness online. :P

Oh, dale, with my first car, the Volvo pregnant Volkswagon model, the gear shifter would just come off in my hand. I just figured what gear I was in and jammed that gear shifter where I thought it belonged. I never jammed it in reverse, though. Third or fourth gear.

And that was pretty close to where you live or lived then, Laguna Beach. Now it’s a freeway, but back then it was pretty much a dirt road to the beach.
