Car alarms, unless you use the lo-jack, are completely useless most of the time. 9 times out of 10, we hear alarms going off all the time in parking lots, in parking garages, in the streets, and no one even takes a 2nd look because its not uncommon for one to be so sensitive it triggers just at the slightest tremor, rattle or bump. Heck, mine doesnt even go off when I and the kids jump up and down in the bed of my truck!
...you buy an answering machine so you won't miss any calls, and then everyone hangs up when they hear the machine answer? But I like this. Means I don't have to return the calls.
...you're reading a magazine and all those annoying little subscription cards keep falling out? I've often wondered if book stores don't hate those things.
...you have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just looking around. I hate that, too, but for me it's a lot worse when it's the SAME damn person!
...a waiter or waitress is not around at any time other than right after you put food in your mouth. One of my pet-peeves ~ and why I don't eat lunch at Olive Garden.
...the power goes out, and you discover every flashlight you have has dead batteries. Maybe it's good to keep just one wind-up type handy.
...someone gets in the express lane at the supermarket and writes a check or uses a credit card. Bastards!
...people who jay-walk in the dark wearing dark clothing.
...people who talk right over you when you've started to say something. I have two co-workers who do this and it drives me insane.
...when I flip channel to see what else is on and, more often than not, all are on commercials.
...when people call me at work to inquire about copies of C.C.& Rs. No, no, NO, 'the city' does NOT recognize covenant agreements ~ THANK GOD!!!!
I can relate to several of those especially sales people. There's one store that I refuse to go into anymore, they pounce the second you walk in the door
