I hate those people. I used to work in convenience stores in my younger days and those people would drive me crazy. They would piss off all the customers that wanted to just come in and pick up something real quick. I would sometimes make them stand aside while they are making up their minds. And when a rush was over, those jackholes would keep me from getting work done around the store because they would constantly need me to ring up their tickets.

I totally get that. When you're old, you only have so much time left, I'm sure you don't want to spend those precious minutes waiting in line. You gotta get to bingo night!

The stoplight at the end of my street is green to turn left for about 10 seconds and red for about four minutes. Luckily I turn right to go to work, but pretty much everything else is left. I hate that ****ing light. When I first moved here 20+ years ago there wasn't a light, and I kept hoping we'd get one. Classic example of be careful what you wish for. If there is no traffic I run it regularly. Also, the main road has been under eternal construction for over two years, so for all that time there is no room to get around anybody turning left. So turning right is a pain in the ass, too. But as bad as that light is, another one about a mile up the road is far worse. It is the devil light. I'm convinced that it is sentient, and it personally hates me. It's timed so that if you drive normally coming from my direction it turns red right when you get there. It's ****ing maddening. I easily miss the goddamn thing about 80% of the time, and the side street is busy enough that I generally can't run it. I would wall that street off if I could. Everybody who lives on it can go choke on a bag of dicks. If the day ever comes that I snap and go completely insane, the first thing I shoot won't be a person. It'll be that ****ing stoplight. Can you tell I just got home from running errands? |

The landscaper mower folks. Now that is a severe waiting time at a quick stop. Most are Hispanics who bring their own food to warm in the nuker. They refill their 60 oz big gulp. If you see them parked in the lot go elsewhere as your lunch break will be spent waiting at the cashier.

I can't remember the last time I actually went inside a gas station. But definitely have no use for lotto crackheads.

Have you ever been that guy at the checkout at Costco? When I first joined and got my card I went on a spree. Came to the pastries and saw blueberry muffins had to have. Threw in the cart finished shopping and got in the shortest line available waited for about five in front of me and was surprised at how fast it moved through. Till me, I hadn't read that it was priced at 2 packages of muffins. The cashier told me I was missing one package and that she would send a person to get another. I said thats ok can you just charge half for the one package No! I then told here its fine Ill pay the full price for the one package. She insisted it would only take him a minute to go get another package so I agreed. This guy tore out like the place was on fire. The clock kept ticking the folks started bailing out to longer lines except for the sap behind me who had stuff on the conveyor. This guy must have torn out like a bat out of hell for the shitter then flirted with the gals in the bakery we waited i told her just cancel the muffins. She insisted he will be back shortly. The manager came over and then called on the walkie-talkie. There wasn't any blueberry left on the table he came back so I had another choice I made it for lemon poppy. He comes back they are out of those also, so I asked him to ask what is on the table I'll take it. Pretty soon he comes back with chocolate chip. I was relieved as I was the shitheel of shitheels to everyone behind me. But I wasn't done yet it had to be scanned for inventory. It wouldn't scan she tried it a few times finally punching in the numbers and I was set free. I was scared for life I have no idea how long it all took but it seen an eternity. The eyes of hate seemed to be staring holes through me. It scarred me as I live in fear of the bakery is it two for or one single item?
