One thing that ruffles my feathers about AZ is how some people think that having a DUI is a badge of honor. Newsflash....It ain't. On top of that, some folks go so far as to discuss what lawyer they are going to use and share them.

To me, this is extremely retarded.

My generation seems to enjoy bragging about underage drinking tickets in the same way. I guess that's...good...or something.

Maybe it's just because I live in a state where beer rules the population.

My co-workers wife just got a DUI or what ever they are called. He seems to be pretty proud of her. They have a 2 year old, maybe she will be up for mother of the year award if she could just pull off another one yet this year. Some people never learn.

People brag about this??? Are you kidding me?

I have to add one to the shopping cart list: When the person in line in front of you pays for their items and picks up their bags and just leaves the shopping cart there in line, in front of you!

Tasty, I am afraid I am not kidding. I have seen people who got DUIs talk about it like it was absolutely nothing. Worse yet, these same people are multiple offenders that are on the roads as if nothing has happened.

AZ's DUI problem is so bad that they are introducing a law where they are installing immobilizers in their cars to prevent them from driving if they blow over the legal limit upon the first or second conviction.

IL had their share of DUIs but not nearly as many as AZ.

You know the easiest way to tell a DUI? It's the guy in the nice suit, carrying his briefcase and riding his scooter to work at 8 am.

We call the scooter store here 'The DUI Supply'.

so today i walk in to pay for gas and as i'm waiting behind a lady to pay, some guy comes walking through the door (already looked pissed off) and cuts me off and pays. i comment, "thanks for cutting me off" and he replies, "i was in front of you". rather than create a big arguement, i shake my head and said "not a big deal buddy, go ahead" and then he peels out of the parking lot when done pumping his gas. why are people like this? common courtesy seems to be obsolete these days...

I haven't read through this whole thread yet, but just reading this is annoying me.

We have a very kind elderly gentleman that works for us a few hours a week (he's over 80). He was using a 2-wheeled hand truck to move a crate into the store and was having trouble getting into the doorway with the cart. A woman picks up her chin and breezes through the open doorway almost knocking Ray over. He yells, "Thank you for letting me hold the door open for you!" She grizzled, "You're welcome," as she breezed away from the situation.

Three other customers stood there looking at each other in amazement and one helped Ray with the door.

Some people's children...

Funny story... A few years ago I was walking into the mall. Two women in there early 20's, dress to kill and high maintenance looking were approaching the doors at the same time. They stopped at the door for a second, just long enough to allow me to open the door for them, they both walked through with out acknowledging that I was standing on the other side of the glass door holding it for them. I loudly said "your welcome", they didn't even look back at me. Now they pause at the second set of doors. I was like, you have to be kidding me. So I walk up and open the door, as I walk though I walk behind the door as if to hold it open. Except I didn't hold it... Smack, it hits one right in the head. Her and her friend look at me and called me a choice name. I replied "Oh, you noticed the fact I didn't hold the door again this time for you, if you wouldn't have been such a %^#$@ last time I did maybe I would have.

It was just one of those classic moments. I really do go out of my way to be nice to people. Helping strangers when ever I get a chance. But on the other hand I'll go out of my way to be a jerk to someone that is to me. I need to work on being nicer all the time but it's hard.

same here, i am one of the most un-selfish people you will ever meet. i just got back from big lots and picked up a glass wizard which was only $4. as i went to go pay, i noticed the lady in front of me with at least $100 worth of merchandise, and she saw that i only had one item so she let me go ahead of her. then i turn around and told her about the 20% coupon i had, and gave it to her since it would of benifited her more, and she was soooo happy (probably was going to save at least $15)! then when i was getting rung up the cashier noticed what i did and scanned the store's 20% off coupon, so i got it for 20% off as well! everyone was so nice to each other, and everyone won in this situation!

I have to say I got a good chuckle out of this thread after having a less than enjoyable experience at my local grocer today. The pet peeve currently at the top of my list is as follows:

People who fill their cart to the very top as it were a game of Jenga (maybe they think they’ll get bonus points or something) when they know darn well that they only have X amount of money in their pocket. They proceed to check out their entire cart and wait for the total to be rung up. At this point they are well over the amount in their pocket so they selectively pull items that have been bagged to be removed from the bill.

Meanwhile, I’m standing a couple people back waiting to pay for a gallon of milk and ready to flip out. I mean, is it really that difficult to keep a rough estimate in your head as you shop? Especially if you know you walked into the store with $X. Maybe this isn’t a common occurrence for most people but it happens to me so often I will now only shop at odd hours when crowds are a minimum. So there you have it, I have to change my entire schedule b/c some people are too lazy to keep track of what is in their cart.
