sorry ... too much of a stretch. Guy that is always punching someone in the arm and being obnoxious. Always reminds me of the Monty Python sketch.

Jersey? Thought it was a weird rule, but loved it after awhile. Especially in winter. But I only dealt with it for three years.
More surprised to hear there are still places that don't make cash prepay. Can't remember the last time I saw that.

Carry-Out Pizza Insurance.
Not that it exists, it's harmless.
It's that people thought it was a great idea and would be a determining factor in picking Dominos for their pizza.

It is a gimmick. They know it wont sway people. Just gave them an opportunity to make a commercial about something other than crappy pizza and fits with their goal of increasing takeout business.

Yes, that was an assumption. Even if you haven't paid at pump and know you're going to be a while inside why wouldn't you move?
I've also sat behind someone a few minutes while they're apparently on their phone doing something... Just a little common courtesy people...

Like I said, if you haven’t paid, I doubt the store wants you driving anywhere. Just my assumption of course.

People that shave at the gym at 7pm. I get that in the mornings you will see a lot of people getting ready for work. I still think it is dumb to shave at the gym then too, but I at least acknowledge an argument exists for why.
But wth are you doing shaving at 7pm for?

Dominos have been idiots for decades. Remember they were responsible for this:

Interesting. Ever had a hit on a skimmer?
It seems like this would be useful software to have gas pump manufacturers install and maybe shut the pump down if it detects a skimmer. Of course, thieves would find a way around it soon enough, I'm sure.

They somehow screw up the simplest things. Ordered 4 bagels, sliced. Somehow only three of them were sliced. How is that even possible?

How? How do you "forget". They take the bagels from a bin. They take them to an electric slicer. They drop them in the top and they get spit out at the bottom. There is a bin at the bottom that collects them so they don't grab them until they are done slicing. They then take them and put them in a bag and hand them to me. How did they put 3 of them through the slicer and one that wasnt?
HOW???????

Gotta watch that - worse I think is when they just slam'em in their and you get a really thin slice and then the rest of the bagel - screws up the toasting or a sandwich.

On this topic, is it a requirement to have vanity plates and/or a figurine on the dash if you own a VW bug?

buddy, i work in a building that has a sales branch for a major financial firm. every single one of their employees has a vanity plate related to the name of the company.
and window stickers of the company logo in case you missed the plates.
on really nice cars. BMW's, Mercedes, Audi's.
all decked out in company related chotchkies

Totally unrelated but I saw a vanity plate for a guy yesterday. He was an older white dude, and his plate said:
IESUS
Wasn't sure if he was trying to say ISIS in a clever way or if Jesus was already taken and he figured this plate would get the point across. Thought about turning him into Homeland Security.

Inefficient line management. I get it if it's an unusual situation or at a place where lines are uncommon, but say at the airport or at coffee shop where there are multiple cashiers and is always busy it drives me crazy.

I hate when someone uses the term "Pet Peeves"
Was at a meeting at the Auto Show last week when a GM exec was talking and he started out by saying. "Let me give you a couple of my "Pet Peeves" so we can all stay on the same page. Everybody was looking around like STHU

Side note somewhat related to vanity plates...
I was on 35 east yesterday and stuck in traffic behind a very odd truck.
Flames on both sides
Large sticker of the Virgin Mary on the back window
Several Apple logo stickers on the back window as well.
Blue truck nuts
Oddly no vanity plate. Never got a look at the driver but I would be pretty curious to meet this person.

right now, undoubtedly it has to be listening to the lady at work (who thinks everyone is just the dumbest person on the planet, who is constantly appalled that people can't remember minute details from 14 years ago) complain to co-workers that her NINE MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER is "sassy" and "rude".
the kid is learning french and english
grandma is mad that the kid doesn't address her as "grandma" and that she confuses other words, like "hat". she calls a hat a chapeau. grandma is just furious that the kid is too rude to call it a hat when grandma says "say the word hat".
this kid is just the worst ####### kid that ever was a kid to hear it told
"she is just so rude!. she is so sassy. she won't use the right words! i'm just so angry at her mom and dad! they don't teach my granddaughter manners! uggh, she's just like her mom. so rude!"
LADY -> YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER IS 9 MONTHS OLD AND WORKING ON LEARNING TWO LANGUAGES
GIVE IT A MONTH OR TWO BEFORE YOU CAST HER ASIDE AS FAILURE

I saw one of these the other day and it really bugged me.

Seen a few with those lashes right over the headlights. Which reminds me for whatever reason, when was the last time anyone saw a bug guard on a truck's hood? I feel like they're rare now, or maybe I'm just not paying attention.

Yeah, this always bothers me when texting my teen relatives. It would probably not drive me so nuts if I thought they were actually meaning it to be read as "yah," but since I've never heard any of them actually say "yah" out loud, I know they're meaning "yeah" but typing "yah.".

On my commute each morning, I take a loop that merges onto the main 3 lane highway. This loop starts out with 3 lanes, then two, then one, and then merges into the main highway.
So the lanes that merge into the main highway usually are moving a little bit faster because people are starting to merge left. I usually utilize the zipper merge and go down until I find an opening that allows me to maintain speed and not disrupt the flow of the main highway.
Anyway, every damn day someone from the main highway comes BACK OVER to the right lanes that are merging in because they are moving a little faster. Only to have to merge back in less than a minute or two. HEY MORONS, YOU ARE PART OF THE REASON THIS PROCESS IS SO SLOW.
Ok, I feel better now.

the way @#$!%!% goes around the office sucking up to the older ladies
he knows ONE thing about each of them and he talks about it every. single. day.
he knows that one lady golfs. it's winter. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. "eh! Suzy! you getting ready to hit the links tonight
?? no, uh? i bet you wish you were don't you worry your little head, you'll be out there soon enough right?? RIGHT!??!"
another lady is on a veggie only diet (she's not a vegetarian): "ehhhhhhhh, Donna, you eat a good lunch today?!?! i bet you did you did, didn't you ? lotsa veggies?? i bet you ate broccoli and onions again didn't you? yeah, you did. you're a smart girl, you did the right thing. i know you did "
another is a Brewers fan "heeeeeeey, Steffie, only 38 days until pitchers & catchers i bet you can't wait, can you you love the sound of the bat and the gloves cracking don't you i bet you do. you do, don't you !"
all that's missing is a pat on the butt and a hair tousling
keep in mind, this happens EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. every day. he makes his rounds and has the same monologue every day. mix in some really awkward, planned one-liners and horrible "funny" quips. every. day.
it's like he's talking to infants and not adults.
the worst part.... they eat it up. they love it. all of them. they freaking love the guy. he's the boisterous loudmouth at every gathering. the one who makes himself the center of attention the entire time by being the loudest, most obnoxious shuck and jiver alive.
