What ticks you off?

[Cassini90125]

A cashier at Price Rite got annoyed with me today. I had rejected one of the quarters she gave me as part of my change and demanded a different one. She didn't say anything but you could tell she was irritated. Hey, lady, you won't take Canadian coins from me, I won't take them from you. Fair is fair.

When we get international currency, usually by mistake, I just put it aside so I don't accidentally give it to someone in their change. I also like to collect them, along with old US currency if I come across it. I can switch it out for money in my own wallet. I've got quite a nice collection going after cashiering for many years.

What ticks me off though is last Friday I came across a new Alaska quarter, a new Hawaii quarter and a wheat penny from 1929. I put them aside until I could grab my wallet and switch them out for two other quarters and a newer penny, but I completely forgot! The quarters I'll come across again, but pennies from before 1940 are very rare now days, and I'm kicking myself for not grabbing that penny.

For some people, it isn't their fault if they can't gain/lose weight as much as/less than others. Genetics, metabolism, etc cause that. Some people really have to watch what they eat, but others (like me) could eat anything they wanted, but not gain a pound. Heck I found out at my last doctor's appointment that I only gained two pounds since the last...six months! And I'm only around 100, at the height of 4'11 1/2''.

So, it's just not anyone's fault for having the body they were born with.

You pulled up some funny stuff there, either way. Most of those annoy me too!

That's how most of my friends are. XD It makes me feel fat all the time, even though I'm only around 115 at 5'2''. I'm short, but I've got a wide ribcage. XD No matter how much weight I lose, I'll still look wide. [sob]
I know it's not anyone's fault, but it doesn't stop me from finding it annoying! XD

Thanks =D I try to add a little humor to everything XD

Oh, I got one better: people who toss their cigarette butts to the ground when they are close to a cigarettes-only receptacle.

-People who slow down at a green light

At random? Because some people who slow down for a green light may be familiar the lights' timing, and they know they won't beat the red light.

-People who give or get cars as gifts. Friggin rich people...

Don't worry: chances are that they will end up wrecking it within the first 6 months of ownership.

I can't stand indecisive people. Wishy-washy! they either DO, or DO NOT. An old saying: "lead, follow, or get out of the way."

Hah yeah... I totally understand the whole "indecisive people" thing, maybe on a smaller scale than life decisions, but still just as annoying. When I've got a dining room full of customers, it's VERY irritating to stand there waiting for a person that can't decide whether they want french fries or onion rings. I want to scream "JUST CHOOSE!! Don't just sit there making clicky noises with your tongue!"

"Hunh.... *tic tic tic tic* I can't decide..."

[Cassini90125]

I'd go for the onion rings.
