List of Outrages

[McKBrew]

51. People who claim that their specific location has the worst/dumbest drivers. I've lived in a few of these areas and can tell you that there are idiot drivers everywhere.

I live in WA, and the traffic around Seattle sucks. People on the Kitsap Peninsula routinely drive 5-10mph under the speed limit, and no one likes to let you merge.

I've also lived in Hawaii. Take the things I've mentioned, add in that almost EVERYONE tries to run yellow/red lights, and don't understand four way stops. Throw that in with the most poorly designed road system ever with a merge on the right side, an upcoming exit on the left side in less than a mile and four lanes of bumper to bumper traffic to cross.

Or Alaska where people have no problem passing in a blind no passing zone and 1000# moose routinely stroll onto the highway.

Yup, all places have their own quirks and bad drivers.

Borderline zombie thread, but this was particularly apt for the discussion so I had to throw it in. Words from the Master himself.

52. Full service gas stations.

I HATE full service. I don't like being at the mercy of the work-ethic of someone being paid $10 or less an hour. They do not have the same drive that I do to get me and my car back on the road again. When I am driving home from visiting family in Jersey and consider my options as far as stopping for gas which is usually around $.40-.50 cents cheaper per gallon, nowadays with my improved financial situation, I usually keep driving and pay more in NY where I can pump it myself and be on my way without being on someone else's time schedule.

YES, it bothers me THIS much.

53 -1000000 New York residents who happen to own a 2nd (3rd?) house down here that they spen a weekend in once ever 6 months.

54. Dr. Albert. You're an Eye doctor, don't get bent out of shape when I call you Mr. Albert. I don't ask you to call me Fire Medic Pool Cleaner, now do I? And stop sabotaging your pool *******, it's not my responsibility to fish your chairs out of the pool ****head.

55. My Jewish pool customers who feel they shouldn't pay because the pool as a stain in it. The pool has a stain in it because you "threw" you ****ing wrought iron furniture in it because you thought I wasn't showing up.

56. Burger King, Bring back the Mushroom Swiss burger.

57. Fat people.

58. People who can't push their own cars.

59. New Yorkers living in Florida.

60. Gingers

And I hate the Dutch that post crap in their language on english newsgroups without any information on it. It's as if they feel entitled to it because they get free broadband. POST SOME INFORMATION BEFORE I DOWNLOAD A 4 GIG FLICK AND FIND OUT IT'S ONLY IN DUTCH AND IT'S CRAP!

seriously, NUKE the Dutch, Dutch subtitles PISS ME OFF. Not nearly as much as some of my friends but a LOT.

57. Fat people.

Screw you buddy, I'm not fat, I'm big boned! No actually I am fat.

61. Mortgage brokers that whine about losing $800 in the process of costing you a few thousand.

Sorry, bad week.

Sorry, bad week.

Considering the date (April 15 is 6 days away), how about accountants that bill you $xxxx when telling you that you owe $xxxxx (notice how many x's we're talking about) and then claiming they did you "up right".

If you did me up right why is what I owe Uncle Sam after claiming 0 dependants all year 5 x's and what I owe you 4 x's and what I have in my checking account roughly 2 x's when we're all done?

63. People who ask you for advice . You give advice. Then dont follow your advice. Then ask you for your advice again.

64. Getting a tax carryback denied because it was "received" 7 weeks after it was mailed.

Fortunately, I have the Certified Mail Receipt.

63A. Noobs who do it multiple times. It didn't work the first time, what makes you think the advice would change after you've failed.

67. Canada. Seriously, it's not even a real country anyway!

68. Coming in to work and Princess Charity has his radio cranked up AND the air nozzle going for twenty fething minutes!

That is too true, we don't have an army, or an airline, or a beer. And the government igloo is going to melt soon, what with summer coming, so our President will be homeless again until the winter.

63. People who ask you for advice . You give advice. Then dont follow your advice. Then ask you for your advice again.

People who ask for advice aren't asking you to tell them what to do. In fact, they may ask advice from several people who give conflicting opinions. They're gathering information to help them make their own decision. You should be flattered they ask you more than once. That means they valued what you told them the first time, whether they adopted your position or not.

When I ask the freakin waitress if there is mayo on the burger that I have ordered, and with a blank stare she wobbles her head, says nothing, and then leaves. Then I get my freakin burger and it has mayo on it.

 

[arturo7]

I hate mayo on a burger.

I hate when I see something that's only slightly similar to a song and then I have that song stuck in my head the rest of the day.

Every time I see this thread, I get this song in my head:
