Pet Peeves Thread

[68Charger]

I was in Subway yesterday and ordered my sandwich, on such and such bread with provolone cheese. She cut the bread, put the meat on (time elapsed: maybe 15 seconds) and asked "what kinda cheese did you want?"

MMJ = no short term memory... apparently her medical condition is depression because she works at a Subway- it's a vicious cycle.

I used to work Subway myself. I got to tell you all the different cheese and bread combos kinda start blending together towards the end of a shift. You have done it 500 times and damn it what type was it this time?

this answers ALLOT of questions I Had about you...

You can make pets out of them?


Ok...
The parking lot panhandlers...
Gal (not bad lookin) comes up to me in Target parking lot, as I am putting my purchases in the truck and says...
"Hey, I was just wondering.... you know, I just got divorced from my husband, he was abusive, and was wondering if, you could like, spare some money... I'm just trying to feed the kids and well... "
At this point I interrupt her and say (I notice there are no kids around) -
"You know what 'hon' - I've heard this one before and so I am gonna say no... I don't have any 'spare' money..."
She begins to quietly go off on things like...
"I'm just trying to make it..." and "Why you gonna be like that..." and so forth... continually as she walks through the parking lot...
I just get in the truck and think - hell I shoulda told her how she could make a quick twenty bucks...

Pissin me off I tell ya...

Well, this is not about food or a "Pavement Princess" but it does have to do with firearms. At almost all gun shows, most folks know that it is just common courtesy to ask the table holder if he may pick up and check out a certain gun. Again, this is just common courtesy. I have had some brand new guns on the table without ANY handling marks, scratches etc and I am damn particular about all of my guns, so I place a large and easy to read sign (in English of course) right on top of the gun, asking folks to PLEASE get permission prior to picking it up and handling it. I have had numerous folks pick up the sign, read it and then toss it somewhere else on the table and proceed to pick up the gun and open the action etc. I NEVER pick up someone else's guns without first asking for permission even if there is no such sign. If I get the OK to check out someone else's gun then go back to the same table later and want to pick up the gun AGAIN, I'll still ask AGAIN. A lot of dealers/table holders will actually thank the potential customer for just asking permission to handle the gun.

I found a new one today on the way to the office:
How has it become that republicans are so damned evil now? Car in front of me:
"NOPE- Keep the Change" sticker, the O was the Obama symbol. Car next to them: "Obama-Biden 2012" sticker. NOPE car passes and Obama car driver sees sticker and gives a disgusted look. IIRC people were jumping on the bandwagon to bash Bush all day, but the second we bash the Glorious Savior of America we're the bad guys? WTF?
