and are ALWAYS talking on their little bluetooth things and never acknowledge anyone.
speaking of talking on a cellphone, i can't wait till it's outlawed in california (in a few months IIRC) to use it while you're driving. as i've said before... when you're driving, that's exactly what you should do DRIVE. there are enough bad drivers as it is, and this is just another distraction (imagine if you or someone you know got hit or fatally injured by someone who was talking on one). sorry, but if you get a ticket you don't get sympathy for me...

Re: mannerisms in public

One thing I hate is when people start talking to you in public but without getting your attention. They don't say, "Excuse me. Did you call for a cab?" If I don't know who you are, how am I supposed to know you're talking to me? Just indicate who you're talking to. That's all.

I also find it hilarious when people try to jump in front of you when you are trying to find a parking space.

Meh, a few of you metioned it, and I know I'm just quoting you, but what's the big deal if I want my protein/carb fix before I pay for something I do plan on paying for?

Sometimes if I can't make it home post workout for my nutrition shake, I'll grab a Gatorade and a protein bar and have at it while shopping for the rest of my groceries. In this rare instance, time *is* of the essence.....gotta get those nutrieents down asap.

- People who enter express lanes when they know they have more than 10 or 20 items.
- People who write checks.
- People who have no conrol over their toddler/child and let them yell constantly.
- People who don't push carts back into the cart return area.

That's all I can think of right now. Yup, that's all... as of now!
I don't mind that AS LONG as they come into lets say Giant Eagle with the check already written just need to sign it and put the dollar amount in.

I hate when they have to write the whole check. They know they will be using a check, so just put in everything before hand.

My favorite are the people (not to pick on little old ladies, but they're normally little old ladies) that wait until the cashier gives them the total before even reaching for their checkbook.

this day & age, if someone really wants a parking spot ahead of me, i let them have it. i park away from others anyway to prevent door dings, etc. not to mention... if you fought over a parking spot and got it, who knows when you come out to your car that it doesn't get keyed, kicked, etc.. just not worth it IMO...

Re: mannerisms in public

Which is why I absolutely love working 2nd shift jobs. I can hit stores at 10/11am and not much is going on. As long as I can be in and out before the lunch rush I smile all day.
