[dsdigger]

Wow, I thought I would be able to list my Pet peeves but going through this thread, they pretty much were all listed and then some! Whomever posted Granny with the suppressed pistol, I don't want to meet her with one of her peeves just messed with!

Another day, another store, same thing. I stopped at a different grocery store on the way home today and had the same occurrence. Some lady standing in front of the lottery ticket machine scratching her tickets. What is it with these people?!?!?!?!

I don't know about your scratch-off ticket machines, but the ones here have scanners. You don't have to scratch off all those squares, just scratch off the bar code and scan it to see if you're a winner.

That's like the difference between having a glass of wine and mainlining heroin.

You know I thought about that attraction of scratchin off every single one just to see them all match up, but I disregarded it, cause I'm practical. I get it, pretty sharp observation, Duckshot.

They are already doing that right now, genius, it's called minimum wage.

As I said move to Canada or maybe you'd prefer Sweden. Let us know your address so we can send you playdough and crayons to ease your stress . Poor little snowflake.

I avoided this thread because I didn't want to think of my pet peeves. Finally the popularity was too much, so today I peeked in and - Whoa!

I had to look at the header on the page. Where the...what the ____ did I just walk into?

Have fun!

1: Rude people, it is ok to disagree with someone, but not to be rude. If you disagree with someone give an argument to change their mind. If your argument consists of name calling and baseless accusations in my opinion you have already lost.

2: Keyboard bullies or the equivalent.

3: People not handicapped parking in handicapped zones. My sister is in a wheelchair but loves to go to the store. Too often I have taken her and had to wait for a spot only to see someone striding out to their car with no obvious problems.

4: Doctors that make you wait for hours even though you have an appointment.

5: People that assume just because you may be a Democrat you are a liberal.

6: People that assume just because you may be a Republican you are a conservative.

7: People that have a problem with serving their country.

8: People that think everyone wants to see their underwear while they walk around.

9: People who think everyone owes them something.

These are but a few.

Or you could use the way my wife generally uses to determine if she is a winner. She will look at the prize amount. If it is more that $2 or $3 she figures she didn't win.

Oh here we go with Nazi Germany

Did you hear about the latest in German Engineering?

Its a microwave that seats six.

"He hath erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance'

That's from the Declaration of Independence, one of the original grievances against the king of england.

The legitimate purpose of government is to defend life, liberty, and property. Thats it. Or, dont you believe in Freedom and Liberty?

Charity is up to individuals. Charity cannot happen through government because government has nothing of its own to give. Both socialists and corporatists only think about their giving. They seem to forget all about their stealing of wealth from charity by collecting funds which could have been used for legitimate charity.

I suspect you wouldn't let a family with kids in your neighborhood go hungry, yet you don't expect the same sympathy from me. So you steal.

Give it a rest, dude.

Champ, there are a couple of buffet precautions I use. Hot only, and only eat the hot food. And improve your odds by only going a couple times a year. Besides, all of those micro organisms undergoing explosive growth, throw off a combined aroma, that makes anticipation grow as you pile it on. Shoney's breakfast buffet, and Golden Corral. No others.

 

[Kray Gelder]

Wait, the woman displaying, sees you looking, and THEN buttons up. WHAT

 

[Kray Gelder]

Some people make a living doing that. They short stop, you plow into them, you lose.

Life is all about managing your risk; theres no way to eliminate it completely. So please consider me something of a smartass in my previous post. What got me was an article I read in the Wall Street Journal of all places way back in the 1980s. It talked about how the sneeze shield came to be along with a day's observation by a reporter of what he saw at the buffet. He was a very good writer and to this day I have never eaten at any buffet-like line again. His vivid imagery is still in my mind.
<shudder> the little kid picking his nose, rummaging thru the cherry tomatoes, dropping a few, and being a good citizen by retrieving them from under the buffet and placing them back in the tomato pile <shudder again>

I'd be more worried about the cook/cooks/food handlers not washing their hands after using the bathroom, or "scratching where it itches".

 

[Kray Gelder]

Hmmm. I thought I was clever, maybe I AM immune. Family reunion potluck buffets are the deadliest. Made me feel worse than that tick-headed snake.

 

[Mifarmer]

I hate you

Finding a cellar hole with around 50 unfilled holes and crap on the edge of each hole. At least I once found a piece of a colonial silver spoon during that day I was there that the person thought was garbage
