People who don't assist in bagging their own groceries.

Oooh, good one. A personal pet peeve of mine. I've noticed the offenders usually run in the 250+ zone. "I'm not bagging my gorceries, you people get paid to do that." No, you aren't doing it because you're a lazy, fatassed sloth of a human being.

It boggles me that someone would want to just stand there instead of expediting their departure.

What if you're worried that you may do more harm than good? I'm a klutz.

You're putting items in bags, it isn't rocket science.Start with larger, non-crushable items, pile smaller, softer items around and on top. Easy peazy.

I don't know. Sounds pretty difficult. Maybe I'll just go in off peak hours so I don't hold up the busy important people.

Hot chicks not smiling back at me and instead going to ninja-style measures to avoid eye contact.

Have to agree here. Hope they and their 2-3 roommates have a good time woofing down the affordable carbs in the comfy murphy bed efficiency. I dated a few of these haughty hoors in my day. Just looking for a monied bonehead ...or at least the early appearance of money. Their favorite: someone who has a daddy with money.

Oh wait I thought this was the Actions/trends that need to be revitalized immediately thread. Carry on.

The nerve of just stealing those songs without compensating the artist...

I've never, ever seen people bag their own groceries, unless they're at the self checkout.

I find that it can be ambiguous. If they have baggers, sometimes there aren't nearly enough. If you step in to help, I've got the comment "you don't need to do that." Yes. Yes I do.

I was one of those 'pros' in High School. I like doing it if no one's there

Yes, us former high school baggers (aka "packers" in some locations) can flip those cans into perfect bag formations.

I'm usually working the credit card machine at the time. By the time I'm done paying, groceries are ready to go. At a place like Trader Joe's, it's not like I'm buying tons of stuff at once so it doesn't take very long. If I'm at Costco, there is no bagging required.Here in Seattle they banned plastic bags so if I'm bringing my own bag, I'll usually bag it myself.But my wife does most of the grocery shopping anyway. I'm usually only there to buy beer or a few necessities. at hold up the line. I already offered to race anyone through self-checkout in a previous thread.

 

[John Bender]

Standing next to people waiting to board an airplane while they continue their loud cell phone conversations drives me up the wall. Had a guy standing so close he was practically doggy style dry humping me in line yesterday talking loudly into his Bluetooth headset.

Same ##### continues the conversation while the plane was crawling to the runway. Flight attendant had to ask him 3 times before he finally ended the call.

I'll typically try to keep my business related calls private and when it's time to be within 1 foot of another human, let the person know I'm boarding a plane and will call them back when I land.

I'm also over the folks who sit next to you and immediately want to ask "What brings you to ....?"

I like to answer and not follow up with the same question and watch them try to figure out how to inject their reasons for being in said city into the conversation.

I'm sick of flying.

You're like the Harrison Stevens of Buffalo.

I start taking items off the line immediately, and can usually get 1-2 bags done before the checker is done scanning. At that point, the bagger takes over, and I slide my CC and pay. Checker finishes, hands me my receipt and some stickers for the little one, and I'm headed out the door. I don't see how this isn't optimal.

Being optimal is exhausting. I'm a less-than-optimal guy. I need lots of naps, too.

Chicks punching guys in the face when they're on top. Just because you saw it on Californication doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I try to keep an eye on the price of items scanned to make sure they aren't ripping me off. Some of the supermarkets in Chicago post one price on the shelf and then scan another, and I don't want to have to wait at Customer Service for a stupid refund after going through the whole checkout process and scanning my receipt for errors.

You care way too much about holding up lines. If the people behind me are in such a hurry, they would be in front of me.
