Stupid little things that bug you

[idahoblues]

The protracted 15 phase process that women put the rest of a queue through at a checkout:

Pack things meticulously away into bags
Move said bags into trolley
Ask price
Back to trolley to retrieve handbag
Open handbag and search/rummage
Retrieve purse
Move handbag
Ask price again
Open purse and further search
Pay
Replace card/change and receipt into purse
Move handbag back
Tuck purse back inside
Put handbag back into trolley
Gradually move off

Haha...but my wife has no problem telling some slow coach woman like that to hurry the fuck up

Or get their purse out to pay.

then fumble for a card and it's declined, then another declined, then another, then the conversation, "Oh this never happens, do you take a check?" "No" then after all that, "OK, I'll just pay cash" whips out a twenty, done in 30 seconds after wasting 9 minutes.
or pricks in the passing lane going side by side same speed with car in traveling lane and won't pull over with 50 cars lined up behind, arrogant to put us all on his schedule.

Driving for 30 years and only just noticing the little white arrow on the fuel gauge tells you which side your fuel cap is on.

is that really a thing? been driving 40 years and didn't know that one, i just remembered which side from the first time i filled it up.

Theres a right and wrong way round the supermarket? Fuck me!

the wrong way is my wife's, misses stuff or adds stuff and we are backtracking the same aisles over and over.

People who say “on point”

spot on

One of the bullshit bingo checklist that, along with ‘touch base’, ‘synergy’ and the rest, isn’t it?

"works for me"
"let's do lunch"
"happy camper"

Yes. Mainly an issue if you regularly drive more than one car I suppose and they're on opposite sides.

Not seen that before. Brilliant. Uberbrilliant in fact.

It worries me that I agree with him.

And I'd add using "disinterested" wrongly. It's UNinterested if you don't show any interest

irregardless...
