People who drive around with those stupid foofoo-type dogs on their laps.

:P

Also slow drivers in fast lanes, and fast driver who flip you off when your only going 10 MPH over, and the truck drivers who think they own the road, and drivers that wont let you merge.

I really am botherd buy all the FEES. Late fee's excise taxes and process fee's.

If i spent $10 on a credit card and forget to pay it on time I'm forced to pay a $15 late fee + interest.
If my bank account fall below $300 at any given time during the month They charge me $5 for an under the minimum balance fee
If I bounce a $30 check they charge ME for overdrawing my checking account which is a totally free checking (which means they don't pay me any interest) they first draw money from my savings for a $10 fee which takes 30 dollars from that and than causes that account to drop below the minimum and than charge me $5 for that. like above.

In another scenario I have a credit card through the bank which they call overdraft protection. It works like this.
If I write a check for $10 and I only have $9 in my tottally free checking account they will access the credit card and charge me only $10 to do this as opposed to the normal $39 fee. but the cash advance has to be in increments of $50 which is considered a cash advance and finance charges and a 3% fee kicks in immediately and I get the bill 29 days later and am charged 21% interest on the $50 + the 3% fee for the last 29days, All because I was a $1 short. on the same day my direct deposit hits my account.

There are late fee's on all of my bills now Even my dentist charges fee's.

They are not loaning me money. and I never agreed to paying fee's or finance charges on my cable bill, or any other for that matter.

How about never being able to talk to someone when you call for service. It is a series of automated Messages.

Has anyone taken time off to wait for the "Plumber" or the "Cable Guy"

How about sitting in a waiting room at a doctors office for 15 minutes only to be put in another room to wait for another 15 to 30 minutes.....

How about a guy who says he never answers his cell phone, but expects people to answer when he calls.????

I could go on and on

I have several, but I will list one that I have seen in TNet lately.

People who post using there CAPS. Do they not know that is considered rude and makes it look like they are yelling at us?

Kids that come into an establishment looking for work,
wearing pants with the waist around their knees, shoes untied,
and a ball cap turned around backwards.

I sent one down the street some time back.
A few days later was contacted by a rep from the EEOC.
I told this fellow that if the kid can't pull up his pants and tie his shoes...
he wasn't smart enough to work here. Period.

He didn't have too much to say to that.

LMAO Makes sense to me. They have a brim on their hat to keep the sun
out of their eyes, but they turn the hat back-asswards or even worse, sideways
& put on sunglasses. ??? :icon_scratch: Glad I'm not the only one.

It provides shade to the asscrack to prevent sunburn to the tender skin. Gotta do it when your wearing pants and skivvies that hang just above the knees.

1. Putting trash in a trash can that doesn't have a liner.

2. People that happen to pull out in front of you while they are on the cell phone.

Sometimes if I get pissed off enough, I'll honk my horn to disturb their conversation.
