Oh, and one more - really dislike the people who go through the 10 only cash register with a full basket and then say "you don't mind do you?" .......... yes, damn it I do mind, and if I could spare it, I would give you a piece of my mind!

...... and just one more, my sweet very deaf neighbor who uses his cell phone on his lanai, and he is three doors down and I hear every word ..................... I do believe I have a problem with "phones".
This is the best post yet. Two points: 1) please don't get upset with me if you see me holding my cell phone in a market - my phone has my shopping list on it. 2) you may wish to invest in some ear plugs. Love your post though.

I like this thread. Keep it going
Oh I really have to keep my eyes open for you! Lol

People who tailgate. Unbelievable! I truly want to invent a device that scrolls a message in my back window: "Am I towing you or what?" ⁉️

Saying "nucular" instead of "nuclear", especially when the offender is a high level government official. [emoji33]

The phrases VIN number and PIN number.

Which makes them the vehicle identification number number and personal identification number number.

Except when I try to use the tee time system it won't accept my VIN (car) number for my VID number. I hate when that happens.

I looked. No handicap stickers either.

Am I missing something or am I just too critical?
I used to park my car at the entrance to Colony and run my lottery money into the gym to my bookie. Once a month. Sorry!!!!!!!! It only took a minute.
You'll be happy to know that our lottery club is defunct and I am no longer blocking the entrance to Colony on a monthly basis. Didn't win anything either.

My pet peeve is people who hold up a long line at the grocery store picking the exact change, to the penny, out of their change purses.

You should post the name of your worthless bookie who never won a Pennie for you. This must have been a scam of some sort. [emoji26]

People who don't know how to merge i.e. take turns. Drivers who think you should guess when they'll turn or who break before using a turn signal. Hey give us a clue please. And golf carts that drive so close to or over the line into the car lane. Yikes!!

(1) People who are mean.
(2) People who are selfish.
(3) People who are inconsiderate.
(4) And especially people who talk during movies as if they were sitting at home in front of their television. Friends, I don't need or want to listen to your running commentary. I'll figure it out on my own. And if you have to ask your partner or buddy questions about what is happening, then wait for Netflix or go see a Disney movie.
