Yes! If I may relate a recent event involving my usually gentle husband, and a rude individual. Hubby was in line at a convenience store, buying a few lottery tickets, (no, didn't hit). Anyway, this large guy behind him in line decides to heckle the new cashier, who was trying to remember how to operate the lottery function. Rude guy says, "You think you can hurry it up; I don't have all day to wait!" Hubby turns around and says, "Why don't you just shut the **** up. Can't you see this man is trying to learn his job?" It was one of those priceless, wanna-be-there-to-see-it moments. I absolutely howled when he told me! Incidentally, rude guy never said another word.

So there.

Tailgaters were mentioned earlier...how about walking people who tailgate. Everyday, while i'm walking to and from work, people are walking RIGHT ON TOP OF EACH OTHER!! So, if you slow down or stop for a moment, you practically get ran over! Then after you get run over, the same person gets pissed @ you for being in their way.

Another thing that ticks me off are bicyclists in Manhattan. You can't just assume you can look one way and cross a one way street b/c coming in the opposite direction of traffic at full speed is some messenger or delivery person on a bike getting ready to run you over. I feel like pushing them off their bikes!

In line at the grocery store yesterday. Wasn't paying much attention at first, but then I noticed the woman checking out was holding her checkbook. Not writing in it, just holding it.

She waited until the cashier was done ringing up her items and then started filling out the check. Want a quick way to **** me off? That's right up on the list.

So I stare at her non stop while she's writing. She gave a glance back and noticed. I kept staring, she glanced again and from the look on her face she knew what I was thinking.

She finally finishes the check, hands it to the cashier and the cashier starts processing it. Partway through she stops and asks the idiot broad a question I couldn't hear. IB nods her mostly empty head in the vertical to respond in the positive.

The cashier voids the transaction and starts over. I'm wonder, "WTF?" until the cashier takes a couple of dollar bills and some change out of the register and hands it to the Leader of the World Moron League.

This idiot not only waited to write the check she wrote it out for more than the amount (I figure she's too stupid to know how to write anything but round numbers on a check) without telling the cashier she wanted change back.

During this she kept glancing at me and I kept staring. When she left she knew that I knew she was an idiot.

Bonus! When I went out to my car she was leaving in hers. She was not happy to see me walking by staring at her.

Dumb b***h.

Maybe they should put turn signals on the shopping carts too. Oh wait, some shopper's wouldn't use them because they probably don't use them in their cars, What was I thinking.

LOL.......I know what you mean. The killer is, they've been to that deli 100 times.

Right now: the kids next door screaming and cackling at the tops of their lungs...grrr...you would think their parents would have some consideration for the fact that houses are extremely close together in this neighborhood.

It would probably be eaiser to answer What Doesn't Tick Me Off..
I could write a book on what ticks me off!

[dxiweodwo]

what ticks me off is when i do something nice for someone, and they don't even say thanks or anything.....they pretend like it never happened or something

or when my dog bars at 4 AM, that REALLY ticks me off, though it's not his fault

or when someone calls my house at like 2 in the morning, that makes my blood BOIL!!!!!
