Back to convenience stores:  Every day around noon, when I stop to get a soda, there is a crew of lawn care workers using the store's microwave to warm up their lunch.  So, there are 7-8 guys in there clogging up the store waiting their turn to nuke their lunch they brought with them.

ran in to this yesterday

hit the local KT for a 3 piece chicken at lunch around 1. when i walked in a team of construction workers were around the hot food station. they wiped that thing out.

warmer was full when i walked in and nearly empty by the time they were done. 

it was like hyenas in a feeding frenzy

One of my closer friends was in the army. He was stationed near Frankfurt. In 99 my wife and were traveling to Europe together for the first time and were going to spend some time with the friend. We flew into Munich then met him and his girlfriend in rothenburg… lunch, then drove back to his place.  Our first night in Germany and he takes us to …..  “American Sports bar”

are you ####### kidding me?! Dammit! I want my schnitzel and grosse bier!

I still give him crap about that. He made up for it the following year, but maybe that’s a Friday thread.

Cashier: Ok your total is $XX.XX, would you like to round up your total to the nearest dollar to donate to The Shelter for Diseased Ferrets and Abandoned Children of the Field Mice?"
Me:  No thanks not today

Every single time, I want to answer these with, "No thanks, but feel free to donate any percentage of the money I'm already paying you to that fund."  But then I realize that it's not the cashier's fault and they don't really care, so I always just respond like you did.

 
This one is not just about MY WIFE#!@#  Although she is notorious for doing it also, for example

person: " Do you know what time we need to be there?"

me: "sorry - i do not"

person: "I mean I know what time its supposed to start but the time we should get there"

me: "i don't know"

person: "you haven't heard, someone should have mentioned it"

RAGE!@#!@#!  MFer if someone should have mentioned it then WHY DON"T YOU KNOW!#@!@#

*I just got off the phone with the wife where she asked me 3 different ways about why is the dinner friday?  And me saying idk 3 different times   :lol:

I have only recently come to the realization that about 50% of the time my wife, when speaking out loud, is really only thinking out loud.

She's not talking to me, she's talking toward me.

In your scenario, my response would have been "I wonder the same thing" three times. I've begun simply deflecting a lot of conversation at my house.

 
Since my daughter totaled one of our cars, Ive been in the market for a replacement. Nothing pisses me off more than dealerships that dont list the price. They want my name and number so I can find out the ePrice? GTFO. I cant see how this can possibly be good for business?

:lol:   My wife does this also.

Early in my marriage - i would always answer when she was doing this and she would say I wasn't talking to you..

Now I ignore her  - And sometimes she is talking to me and then she's upset that im not answering :lol:

I'm not exaggerating.   My wife put my email in because she didnt realize at first why, but I purposely did because i was interested in a car before I realized i shouldn't have. I ended up buying a car elsewhere, but i want to say i was getting emails and texts and phone calls almost daily for over a month

Jeff Foxworthy has a short bit about this in his latest Netflix special. 

 
People who make the effort to pick up their doggie's doo-doo with a doggie bag, but then decide it somehow makes sense to just drop said bag on the ground rather than disposing of it in a trash can.

For the love of God, WHY???!!!

 
I just need an explanation here .....

Behind a woman at Wawa to get mega million tickets out of the machine. No biggie right.

So she puts in $10..... That is 5 quick picks.

But no she chooses a $2 quick pick.

The machine prints ticket and goes back to main menu. So then she picks mega millions, waits for menu. Selects $2 again. So yeah does this 5 times.

Then puts in another $10 and does the same thing. So now she has 10 individual tickets instead of 1 with 10 entries.. .  

:loco:

Hey, Facebook market place is not a retail store. How about lowering your price for once so I don't see it listed at the stupid, same high price for the sixth time. TIA.

The 10 people behind you dont need to watch you figure out your password and or why you can't pay.

THen some poor worker that was behind the counter has to come out and open a register to empty the line while you're still there.......................

 
Setting up a new laptop...

I hate Microsoft's stupid One Drive and it's stupid auto sync that stupidly never seems to turn off. It's STUPID!

Nerds! I'm perfectly happy having things local and not in your machine in whatever podunk town you've put your data center!
 
Nothing pisses me off more than when I enter a new town or state and the 'Welcome to XXX' sign includes the name of the current mayor or governor. Basically, they're forcing their successor to waste budget on replacing the sign.
 
Can I please get a ceiling fan that has a true medium setting? I've hung 3 fans around the house doing a mini-remodel, and every one of them has HIGH, LOW, and MOLASSES OFF A TURTLES BACK SLOW as their three speeds. I either go full blast and feel like I'm sleeping in an igloo, or I can barely feel the thing. GIVE ME A MEDIUM SPEED
 
happened again this morning. Drop daughter off at camp for work.

Leaving the school parking lot - need to make a left.

To enter our school from the road I'm turning onto, there is a dedicated left hand turn lane, and a straight lane. No light. SO basically no one turning into the school is stopping.

Sure enough some lady is sitting in the left lane "waving me out" - so of course I have to wave her in because apparently she doesn't notice all the cars driving past her.......

But she won't go.... I can't go because of actual cars so now we are all just sitting there.... finally she turns in....

RAGEEEEEEEEEEE

in situations like this, I tend to just take a right and then look to take a left to turn around as soon as possible. avoid these "friendly" folks who are actually making it worse.

And has a slogan picked by the gov/mayor, such as "Open for Business."
 
so id say 80% of my job is problem solving.......

So when you send me and email to say something doesnt work...... Please tell me the database you were using/software/what actually doesnt work ..... THe more information the better, not "it doesnt work"

When I send you back specific questions to answer, please answer the questions. I don't need ramblings about this that the other thing,

Then when you dont answer the questions dont wonder why its not fixed when i've asked the same questions 3 to 4 times.

Then when my coworkers call and say can you help with something because you then went to them and they are asking you the same questions.

Then you "figure it out" 2 weeks later and tell me the resolution WHEN said resolution was ONE OF THE ******** QUESTIONS I ASKED YOU TO ANSWER

You are now on my do not reply list

my wife has an amazing capacity for turning a compliment around

me: "thanks for making dinner. it was really good."

her: "yeah, well i didn't even use enough milk and the pancakes didn't turn out like i wanted.. they weren't even very good."

me: "wait... i thought they were good"

her: "they would have been if the kids had left me alone"

the kids: "wtf, we weren't doing anything"

her: "that's why i don't cook. you guys make it impossible to concentrate and then the food is messed up. you're constantly all over me and i can't focus and i get anxiety."

the kids: "we didn't even know you were cooking (one was outside, the other upstairs)! what did we do wrong????"

me: "we literally just told you we liked the food, thank you and it was really good.. we're very happy with it."

her: "it's not like you even ate it all" (she made like 40 pancakes for 4 people, kids will eat the leftovers all week)


*sigh*

ooh, that's a tough one. i'm going furley's wife because i feel like i just had that conversation a month ago.


my kids start school on Thursday. they have to bring their supplies to their lockers before opening day.


me (to my youngest): did you remember to gather your school supplies for dropoff today?

my kid: no, i forgot

me (to my kid): you have to bring your stuff today. school's not open again until next Thursday.

my wife: she should have already brought her supplies to school

me: but, she didn't. that's what we're talking about now. she has to bring her supplies today.

my wife: but she should have already brought them

me: yes.... well... she didn't.

my wife: but she should have.

me: we've established that, yes
 
There's a comedian that I swear does this in a bit and I'll think of who it is one day, but I just had one of these with my wife last night.

Me: "I ran into Laura at the grocery store, she said to tell you hey and she wants to get lunch with you soon".

Her: "Oh I miss her! Did she say what day she wanted to do it?"

Me: "No, she just said sometime soon, after the kids go back to school and all I'm guessing."

Her: "Well did she say she'd call me? I always call her she never calls me."

Me: "No she didn't say, she just said she wanted to get together with you..."

Her: "Well is she expecting me to call her? Or is she going to call me?"

Me: "I have no idea babe"

Her: "Well did she say if she wanted it to be just the two of us, or if she was going to ask anyone else?"

Me: "It was a 20 second conversation, she passed by as I was trying to pay so literally the only thing she said was Hey, it's good to see you, tell Rachel I said hey and that we should get lunch together soon".

Her: "Well how did she sound when she said it?"

Me: "Sounded like she was speaking English. Why don't you just call her?"

Her: "No no I can't do that, I don't know if she meant it or not"

Me: :turns and walks away:

People who don't pull the way into the parking spot. My local grocery store has a parking lot that is not all that big. It's one way around a semi circle and if two cars on each don't pull all the way in it's a really tight fit just to drive through the lot. And of course out here there are lot's of oversized pickup trucks so add those to equation it's maddening!
