Nine times out of 10 the guy has either a baseball, baseball bat, or some kind of mitt! Yesterday he was intent on showing how Oakland A's Khris Davis has achieved such high stats by his "stepping into the bucket" stance at home-plate! Oh and to add insult to injury, he's forever stating how the Oakland A's are in pendant race..WELL of course they are you nit wit aren't they all, well OK maybe not the NY Mets, but that's a whole other kettle of fish for another time! |

My philosophy is if I have to ask how much something cost I probably can't afford so.. I go big or stay home however I'm not opposed to saving a buck or two so... on the rare times I cut out a particular coupon and lug it to the store why is it that there is always some "catch" to it???
Today's experience was that the coupon said "on selected varieties" in print so small you almost would of had to have a magnifying glass to read it! |

I know we have covered this before, but each day it just baffles me. I am at my job a month now. I work with some very intelligent and kind people. They are so helpful... seriously they are a real good team to be a part of. Our office is a very nice well kept building. We have nice windows and plants and other aesthetically pleasing things to make a nice space. The owners seem to care about that. Then there's the kitchen. You open the fridge. What you see grosses you out. I had to wipe down a shelf before i put my lunch bag in it. I watch people come and go and use this fridge. I don’t get how they can stand it. I threw out some jam that has been fermenting for about 4 years. I brought cleaning stuff and cleaned it the first week i was there as best I could. . It was pretty gross as it had to be emptied and hosed out i believe, the freezer is insane and since I get ice from it, i prefer it to be less repulsive. I cleaned it best i could as it is full of food and I am sure years beyond their time. Someone saw me cleaning it and I guess told the owner. I am sure they have no idea. Last Friday two people emptied it and steam cleaned the fridge part. A memo went out with the usual *your mother doesn’t work here, clean up after yourself* I went in it today to get ice, and the freezer wasn’t touched. Pet Peeve... why do it half way??? How could you not clean the freezer? And i cannot even tell you about the toaster oven or microwaves! I am just amazed at this.. /rant |

1) Being at a store at prime rush hour and there are two registers open.
2) Self check out- I feel a discount should be applied! |

It drives me nuts, actually pisses me off when in line at a store, and the person is on the phone ignoring the service person/cashier who is ringing them through. Put the damn phone down and pay the person some attention!

As a store owner this is one of our pet peeves also. We may or may not stop the transaction at our registers when a customer, especially when it is a profanity laced conversation. Just our way of teaching some basic etiquette to those self important customers who stop in. We only have to do it once or twice before customers learn to make their purchases phone less.

I always say hello, but they stare off into space while they robotically scan my food/items, or talk to the bagger about their plans for the weekend, or..... if it was not for your customers, you would have no reason to be at the registers, and if it was not for your customers you would not have a business. So, if the person PAYING your salary needs to use their phone..... |

I also agree with mstinkerbelly....... Lol I have experienced that as well. It’s fine with me though as I’m not much for “small talk” however a little common courtesy wouldn’t kill them.

I feel that it's rude to not acknowledge that there's a human being in front of you. That applies to both sides of the argument. I can't stand people who don't talk to you when you are in their line and I can't stand when customers bare their giant egos and think everyone in the world wants to hear what they have to say. Trust me; we don't.
Same thing for people who drive around with their radios booming or their phones running through the car loud enough for bystanders to hear every word. I don't care that much about your life. Sad for you, but true. |

I went to the nail salon yesterday and thought of this whole thing about not acknowledging people. In this case not only ignoring but adding plain rudeness on top of it.
I went to 3 places until I found one who could take me immediately and I walked in all cheerful and asked about a quick manicure. A lady said she could take me. She said *Gel?* i said *no, just file and polish* She sits me down and proceeds to get the gel nails set up for me. I said *no, file and polish* She said *why don’t you want gel?* i said *because I don’t like gel, can you please just file and polish* Boy did that set her off! She then gets pissy, and starts speaking loudly in vietnamese to her coworkers. I should have walked out but I really wanted my nails done (Daddi comes home today!) She pissed me off but i was determined to turn this around, so I complimented her up and down while she did my nails. *Oh i like that shirt* *oh you are good at this* She was not having it. It was like I wasn’t even there. She was that pissed over gel nails. Her hand massage was kinda funny.. she was so irritated ! I said *not necessary*.. she replied with *go wash hands*.... So she did finish up and while waiting for my nails to dry she sat with her arms folded. Well I made sure the *drying *part took a LONG time and finally she says *You pay now*. I said sure.. and gave her my debit card. She said *No cash?* ... I said no cash. That irritated her! She goes to the register and yells across the salon *You want to tip?* .... I said *yes of course!* ..I gave her a nice tip. THAT put a smile on her face when she handed me back my card. On the way out I thanked her and told her in front of everyone that I am sorry she is having a bad day, and hope it gets better. I don’t even think she thanked me. She didn’t ruin my day, my nails look great and hopefully she did have a better disposition for her other clients. |

I am guilty of sharing my music. I was thinking of you the other day when I was driving. Can't You See by The Marshall Tucker Band came on and I turned it up. There are just some songs that beg to be played loudly when driving Jessie (my Jeep) topless. Plus, when it's loud people can't hear me singing. ~W |

Another way to look at it is if someone were next to you and blasting a genre of music that you don't care for, be it opera or death metal or elevator music or whatever, how would that make you feel? Or are you one of those people that would have music wars at a stop light? One goes higher, then the other and so on and so forth. I have songs like that too but I turn it down at stop signs and lights, if someone else is near me with their windows down, etc. Maybe I'm too nice. *shrug* I do try to be considerate unless I'm out of my mind angry and then screw everyone with a pineapple. Twice. |

Of course, I try to be courtesy for the most part but I can't say I have never offended someone with my loud music of choice. As far as other people's music, regardless of the type, I am not usually offended. Red lights don't last forever. Put me on a back road and give me a good song and all bets are off. |
