That's a puzzler. Maybe it's the new rudeness that seems to come along with each new technology. Like people who are polite in person, but become obnoxious maniacs behind the wheel.
Or for another computer thing: people who ignore emails that it is their JOB to answer. There seems to be a childish p.o.v. on the part of some that because an email is a distant contact, they can ignore it and that's okay.
I have to admit, I've missed emails before. Or I've opened them and planned on replying but gotten sidetracked and forgotten about them. So I think resending is always a good idea. However if they ignore it even after resending, then that's definitely rude.
With the asking for a photo description, I asked twice in the thread.
When several people are in line and a new cash register opens, the cashier says "I'll get someone over here." NO!!! The civilized way to say it is "I will check out the next customer in line" so it's not a mob mentality over who can fight to the register first.
Also, why can't people bother to take large parking placards off their rear view mirrors when the vehicle is in motion. Not trying to bash disabled people, but those handicapped placards (at least where I am) are the worst. It seems like it would be blocking your visibility when driving. Is it really that much effort to remove?
There's that word! Just! That word intimidates me as much as...simple!
Or: Piece of cake!
If I go to Best Buy, I'm pondering expansion of my high-tech world, and I ask one of these nerdy clerks: How difficult would it be for this techno dummy to learn to operate this? and he says: It would be a piece of cake! Out the door I go, empty-handed!
The last expansion of my high-tech world, a digital camera I bought 9 months ago, I'm using the easy-to-follow instructions as a dart board and one day I'll take a photo of it with my easily-usable disposable camera!
Unfortunately, I don't have younger people to call on to patiently, patiently sit down with me and even so much as instruct me how to upload a photo on the Internet or store a number on my cellphone.
And, yes, my patience with instruction manuals wears paper-thin after two minutes! Instruction manuals have always overwhelmed or defeated me!

Both good points. The clerk should definitely specify. At least some of the time they do. Sometimes even a customer has the sense to let the first person go.
By law people are supposed to remove handicap placards while driving. Technically they could get a ticket for driving with it up there.
Here's my peeve: people who are clueless and proud of it.
I hate it when I work through lunch then come home and pig out.

I just think it's cowardly. It's impossible for anyone to accurately judge someone else on the internet.
But, hey, I'm peevin'. Keepin' the peeve alive.
