I can soooo agree! I also need to confess… I sometimes get grocery-itis! But I get to combine it with my own pet-peeve so they cancel eachother out, sorta!
Ok. I HATE SELF CHECK OUT! It is just another way that people are distancing themselves from eachother. With how much I pay for groceries, I want the smile and “how’s your day been?” and the “Can we help you out with that?” and “Did you see the grapes we just got in? They’re on sale?” I mean c’mon, with my family and my compulsive shopping I drop close to a grand a month in that place and I resent that they have on one regular check out and one express, or worse the times when it is express only!! forcing us to go to the self check out!
The machines never work, I smoosh my bread, break my eggs and it always glitches and makes me wait for the single employee to come punch in her code in order to continue. Which takes FOREVER ’cause all the self check outs are doing that and she’s got to de-code ALL of them!!!
So, if there is no one in the express lane and ten people in the regular lane AND I’ve only got a couple items over the max number, I sneak in. But it’s only when no one else is waiting, and I always let people go ahead if they come up behind me, so i should get a free pass for that.

OH OH OH I forgot you mentioned the cell phone. OH yes please walk in my store yapping away don’t finish the conversation keep talking to them as I wait on you ignore me. I get in trouble for not greeting you but I see no reason to speak if you are on the phone. IF it’s that important finish before you come in. I can’t talk on the phone while you are standing there why do you want to be rude? I do use my phone and my blue tooth makes it much easier when driving. I talk to my niece to and from work. SHe keeps me company on the 25 mile drive and we often vent over our days at work. But I’m off the phone when I get to the job until I walk out the door when I’m off work. Ladies you are so right I jokingly asked somebody one time wonder if so and so a famous male type person peed in the floor. The coworkers were ruin the man’s image why don’t you. I was joking but i get that honor too clean the bathrooms at work the men often find the toilet is farther away than the think.

I know it’s July 2, 2009 but I just read this and laughed along. I work in a convenience store aka gas staion. How do I know you are oh so nice and would never drive off with put paying for your gas? Hello travel outside of your tiny area of town and find out everybody prepays everywhere else. I don’t know you so give me money or use your card at the pump. Don’t know how much gas it takes to fill your car up? Pay attention at the price and remember next time what it took today. It’s not climbing like it did last year here in Texas not yet at any rate it is higher than 3 months ago but not $4 a gallon on $2.499=$2.50 basically Oh wait nobody can do simple math in their heads anymore. I’ve been working long enough if you ask for the brand of snuff or cigarettes by their correct name I will grab them for you. Just asking for a pack of Marlboros when I have 100 different types in both box and soft back doesn’t cut it sorry. I can close my eyes and pick one it will be Marlboros but it might not be your flavor. But don’t tell me that it’s the blue box I know the name ask for it I’m not stupid. Oh and people who rename lottery tickets throw you for a loop. Try to figure out what they want when all they do is point that ticket over there.
My sister does the one up thing so I understand you too. I agree with the lady over driving slow in the fast lane. How about if it’s 70 and they drive 45 that kills me. I run with the pack here in Texas they might be doing 80-85 I will run with them no problem . WHeee I love the faster speeds hate driving slow lol. Thanks, Tina for the fun thoughts try clenaing up used snuff/dip/chewing tobacco that some kind gentleman took out of his mouth and threw on the ground. Looks kind like ….I don’t mind cigarette butts those are easy sweep them up toss in the trash can no mess no fuss the dip or chewing tobacco is gross.

I can’t tolerate the one-uppers, either. I used to work with the lady like that. If I had 12 inches of snow at my house, then she had 14 inches at hers. No matter what anyone was talking about, she had a better story to tell.

I threw up a little in the back of my mouth over the lugie pet peeve. Argh! I can’t stand people who don’t follow what they preach. For instance a certain friend (who I hope doesn’t read this blog) who red penned my manuscripts to hades and back with red pen on every instance of the word “look.” Told me that NO-ONE in the writing industry would be caught dead using that word in a nove. It is telling not showing. (Or do I have that backwards). Anyways, she asks me to edit her manuscript last week and it was salt and peppered with so many instances of the word “LOOK” that I had to buy a new red pen! So lets practice what we preach. amen!
