Partisan political position instead of the reality of right or wrong

Special interest (minority-not just race) groups

Sexist positioning VS right or wrong

THE SILENT MAJORITY VS ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

golfnut -

Silly things like:
A one-way bulb in a three-way lamp! or
Slow drivers in the left lane

Lack of manners and/or compassion

Your turn, golfnut 024

My husband taking a new cup or glass everytime he has a cup of tea or whatever. I don't get it! :dontknow: If he drinks 5 cups of tea, he will take 5 different cups! After all these years you'd think I'd get used to it but it makes me CRAZY!

Okay, a serious peeve. You're in line at the store, any store but especially the supermarket. The woman in front of you waits patiently while the clerk rings up her order and bags the groceries. (I don't mean to sound sexist, but I've noted over the years and it is almost always women who do this.) So, the clerk finishes ringing up and bagging everything and says to the person, "That's be $24.67." It's like the customer never considered that she'd have to pay for the stuff. Only then does she open her bag and dig out her purse. God forbid she has to write a check, 'cuz then it's find the checks and find a pen. Others have money in hand while the clerk is ringing up the stuff or have the check 2/3 filled out before they get to the front of the line. This person seems surprised every time.

Muncle, you must shop at Publix! That same woman must shop every day. She is always in front of me in the line up also. ;D

Muncie: One better! After she digs for the $24 she finds out she only has $21 with her, so she asks the clerk to 'back out' a few items to get the total down below $21. "Oh, the total is only $19 now, that's too low, put this one back on, but take that one off, maybe I'll be closer now". This goes on for an hour to find the right combination, just below $21.

Drives me nuts! :realmad:
