Thread: A few things that just irritate me........

I think it's mostly when I'm at work helping people at the deli & they walk up talking on their cell phone & trying to order at the same time. They are too busy talking & cant figure out what they want & then other people waiting behind them get angry.


I actually am a pretty laid back person & dont let little things get to me but once in a while when Ive had a bad day it can really be irritating.

My oldest son owns a deli and he will agree with you. He has a lot of doctors who come in and should they be on a medical call he has no problem helping them when they are ready but he has told his employees that if a person is on a personal call when it is their turn to order and the customer waves them away, they should just go to the next person in line. Should this inconsiderate hang up and then demand to be helped immediately then they can inform the person that they can wait their turn since they were not willing to place their order when it HAD been their turn. Most of those customers usually apologize and go to the back of the line. The ones who stomp out and probably try the same thing at another deli will at times come back with their tail between their legs. We live in a town of 20,000 but there is a good chance that people either know you personally or know of you...which can be good and bad

If a customer is on the phone I will just ask very loudly "Can I help you?" then if they are still on the phone while Im slicing their items I will ask them "how much did you need?" "or is this sliced ok?" while doing every item. If Im interupted them then thats their problem cause Iam a husman being doing them a service & they should respect that.

people who may not like a certain thing and think it should be done away with to please themselves without any regard to people who might not feel the same way they do

when i see an overweight person that i know for a fact is not disabled riding around the grocery store in a motorized wheelchair, then i see an elderly person or someone on crutches/using a cane hobbling around because there aren't any wheelchairs left for them to use

all the people my age or close to it (22) who are applying for and getting disability checks and a million kinds of welfare because they're "sick". they have the best of everything, while i work 2 jobs and don't have even half of what they do

1. Employees that act like they should get paid for doing nothing. If I go in a store and ask politely for help from a sales person, I expect friendly customer service...not a unfriendly attitude. What do they think their there for, to look pretty?

2. People wearing Bluetooth headsets while shopping! Well actually they don't annoy me, I'm more entertained by the fact they look like they are insane walking around talking to themselves.

3. People who let their kids run crazy and tear up my store. Do they think that stuff is giving to me for free? I never let my son act like that when he was growing up. Kids can look at things and put them back in there place without having to tear it open throw stuff all over the place and holler like wild animals while they are in there. But most parents do make them mind, only a few are out of control.

4. People who shoplift. Once again, do they think that stuff is just giving to me? If I walked in their home and tried to walk out with an expensive item, I would probably get shot in the head.

5. Cruel or mean spirited people.

6. Credit card companies & Doctor bills.

7. Gas prices going up, making items in the store go up because it cost the stores more for shipping now. The greedy fat cats that are causing this.

8. Sending teenage boys & girls to war when they won't even be old enough to drink for another 3 years. I say if they are to immature to handle liquor here in the USA, then they are to young to handle being sent to war.

i can walk maybe 30-50 ft maybe a little farther, but i drive to a strore slap my placard on the mirror and walk to the back and unload my wheelchair all the while on my own 2 feet after that tho i better be sitting or else, and my disability is the main reason i'm overweight.

just because you can't see an illness doesn't mean there isn't one

I agree with you, but I think she's talking about these young fat butts that are just to lazy to walk and get those electric buggies they have at the front of the store. I've even seen grown men racing on them in grocery stores before. Allot of overweight people could walk in and get what they need and leave. But they want to shop for hours and they think those electric buggies are there for them to have a luxury shopping experience. I'm fat, and my knees hurt when I'm in that super wal-mart so I don't stay to long. I get what I need and get out. Sometimes if I want to shop longer I will sit for a spell on a bench to rest. I won't ever get one of those electric carts as long as I can walk and don't have chronic pain. But if I get that bad, I would bring my own chair (like suprtruckr does) so I wouldn't be taking a electric buggy away from a old person who really needs it.

My two cents worth the op said things that irk me to no end, but the icing on the cake was on mothers day, i was at the cemetery, placing flowers on my mums grave as well as little brothers and big sisters and a young girl was at a gravesite a few over and talking on her cell phone as though she was gonna drop over dead if she didn't get to talk to who ever. laughing and swearing like a troll. talk about disrespect. I know my husband was extra nervous cause he knew i was about to grab her phone and shove it where there ain't no sun.what a jerk face loser she was.
sorry, i am not usually this harsh but i am glad you started this thread so i could vent.
thanks

People who pull out in front of you, making you put on your brakes and not a car behind you for blocks.

People who don't stop for school buses or emergency vehicles.
