Ever pull into a crowded gas station and zoom up to the open pump and it's broken. Then everyone else that already knew is kinda smirking at you.

Ever finally decide to buy something you have wanted for a long time. You go to the store and look at the displays and pick out the one you really want then they tell you there is none left in stock so you stand there looking at what you have waited for but still can't have it.

Ever wait a little too long to leave to go somewhere so you're running a little late, one quick stop at the ATM and you'll be on you're way right. Wrong, thats when you're usual ATM is broken and now you're driving like mad to the next ATM with the annoying extra charge.

Don't forget price check on 5 right in front of you. Oh it's ok here they come with the price, thats's 1.99 then the person says no that's supposed to be on sale.,,,, I'll make up the difference if you just get out of the way.


These things are annoying but really don't amount to anything in the big picture.


So you love it when what happens?

lol, reminds me of that song..."somebeach"

I try to be patient, but sometimes folks make it awfully hard to be nice.

I love it when you're driving on the interstate and look in the rearview mirror and see a cop...he passes you and the speed demon that flew by just moments before suddenly catches sight of him and tries to gently tap the brakes...I love seeing those red brake lights; same thing if a cop is on the side of the road, it's like a collective red brake light line in front of you..

Ever spent a great deal of effort to create something for someone - be it a meal, a letter, an ambiance - to have them not show any appreciation for the effort? In fact, they behave as if it is expected....

It teaches one to enjoy life's passionate endeavors for the pure joy of the doing, and not for what what someone else might think.

You are most correct - in the big picture, it is the perception that counts, not the minutia of the moment.

The hassles are the fickle finger of fate awarding you a pointy finger of irony.

I plan 20-30 minutes for fickle delays into each half of the workday, when it's feasible.

It just feels good to stay ahead of it all.

rant I love it when work calls me for a job with only 3 hours notice, I run around like a madwoman, pack, get a cab, head to the airport, then half way to the airport I get the call that oops! Not today, but maybe tomorrow!

I go to the store and buy about 60 to 70 2-liters of soda... which take up 2 shopping carts of space.

I look at the counter. nobody there.
I look to see if anyone is coming... nope.

I get to the counter... the lady starts interrogating me about why i need so many 2-liters.

After 10 seconds, I look behind me and it seems the whole store finish their shopping at the same time. It's a dollar general, so they only have 1 or 2 items. Seven customers have already lined up behind me and the lady hasn't even begun to ring up the first 2 liter.

I can see the angry faces on the customers only get angrier when the lady says she has to scan each one individually. Of course since it's a small convinience store, she is the ONLY one checking people out.

I put all 66 sodas on the counter within 3 minutes... but she only had scanned 10 by then.
It took her like 20 minutes to scan all of them when all she had to do was hit the multiply key and enter 66.


Everyone hates me now :(

When people get in line behind that one cute old person who's paying with small change and they b*tch about it; loudly enough for everyone to hear.
Who doesn't want to love all over those nasty people?

Hey, I work at Walmart! rant I work at the Customer Service Desk, so I can't be held accountable for that, lol.

Actually, I know exactly what you mean. When I lived in New York, the K-Mart was closer then the Walmart, so most of the time I would just go there. It never failed, there was always only one line open, and it was the express checkout. And no matter how much you complained, and there was a lot of complaining, the management would just look at you like you were crazy for asking for another register to be opened.noway

I love it when you are trying to merge onto the highway and the car next to you does everything they can to block you. Eventually you find yourself driving in the emergency lane with your blinker still on

Yeah, but it ain't like Sam Walton....I mean, his family....can't afford to pay more checkers. They have more money than God.

You're right about that. And the Walmart that I work at is not a Super-Walmart, so it's pretty easy for us to put all the cashiers out. On a typical day, we have about 8 lines open, and that's not counting if I'm not busy I check people out too.

I hate it when my Vegan friend and I go to get something to eat, and when she is ordering something off the menue the people waiting in line behind us either laugh, say something smartass or turn into ****s

Lol I always turn my head and give them the look of DOOM that just shuts them up!
But seriously, why do people care if somebody else is vegan? it is not a big deal
