^ Haha that reminds me of when I was in Paris last year, and coming from australia, i honestly did not know that gypsies existed in this day and age. I thought they were like, a fairy tale thing (yes lol @ me if you please!) But anyway, some gypsy comes up to me, (before i realized what she was ) and hands me this piece of cardboard with some huge bullshit story about how she came from romania and her brother is dying and her kids and starving and she has no money to get back to romania to get her brother and bring him here and do i have any spare euros or cigarettes LOL.

I look at her and im like, 'no'. And wow death stare did I cop. I swear she put a pox on me. Then as im sitting watching her after she stomped off, I see her converse with obviously her gypsy friend she's in cahoots with Lol.

It's like oh come on. Just ask for some money or ciggies, dont give me some bloody cardboard to read for 10 minutes.
 
^ Exactly. They should simply ask me for the money so none of us has to waste 10 minutes before I tell them "no".

I like how she asked you for cigarettes. Yeah, them cigarettes will really help her get back to Romania to her dying family (which she left to... visit Paris with no money?)

i got a non-stick frying pan the other day, and i don't know what sort of committee is involved in deciding to put the pan's label on the damned cooking surface...i used a scrubby to scratch most of it off, but now there's this nice adhesive residue still stuck on the surface.

like, you can see the outline of all the lettering from the label still there. ><

Hahah exactly what I was thinking. I felt like saying, umm hello, im poor too you fucking moron! lol I love the way they think you have money to piss away on gypsies, who i believe are not actually poor at all and they all looked well fed to me, when I am a povo student lol. Like *I* had money!
 
Schlotzsky's.

I've only been there twice and both times sucked. Today I ordered a sandwich instead of getting the salad (like I did last time) so I was in utter misery when I took the first bite and realized they automatically put black olives on the sandwich. Fucking gross. I tried to pick them off but they were all in the melted cheese and it was impossible. I know this is my fault for not asking what they put on the sandwich before ordering so I went and bought another one without olives. It still sucked. Super FAIL.

Blah.
Gross.
Never going back.

ha ha ha that is en epic fail
 
The opening of gifts at bridal, baby showers, birthdays etc.
40 guests and I have to sit, smile, and watch the bride open everything. Fuck get me another drink she is going to open the basket of envelopes too.
 
When there's a bunch of cars back to back in one lane-- everyone wanting to make a left or go off a certain ramp or whatever-- and the other lanes are empty, and someone drives up the empty lanes and then tries to push their way through into the backed-up lane to the point of causing an accident if someone doesn't let them through... ahhhhh! get in the back of the fucking lane and wait like the rest of us having been doing for the last 10 minutes!

When people drive with their brights on, it's unneccesary and a) blinds me b) scares the shit out of me because I think they're a cop (brighter lights).

When song with the sound of a cop's siren come on the radio, scares the shit out of me everytime because I think there's a cop behind me... can you tell I've gotten two tickets in the past two months?

Parking lots that have GIGANTIC speed bumps that fuck up your tires/brakes and make everything fly all around your car no matter HOW much you slow down.

Homeless people that hangout by gas pumps late at night.

Homeless people that hang out by gas pumps and start cleaning the windows of your car even when you tell them not to, and then yell at you because you don't have any $ to give them (uhm, that was why I told you to stop!)

Haha this always makes me jump too - same if there's the sound of screeching tires or a horn tooting on the radio - I actually think this is a hazard and they shouldn't do it!!

My pet peeve for the day - people who leave empty boxes or wrappers in the fridge/freezer/cupboard.

I saw there was a bag of little cherry ripes in the cupboard and all day I was thinking about the cherry ripe I was going to have when I got home but - lo and behold - when I picked up the packet it was EMPTY!!! :!
The person to take the last item should throw the packet out. :|

The little commercial things before movies that ask you to remind you to turn off your phones and be quiet. But they often throw a bunch of obnoxious examples of "what not to let happen" at you all in a few seconds, and it just becomes way too much.

I KNOW THAT MY BABY SHOULDN'T CRY, MY PHONE SHOULD NOT RING, AND I SHOULD NOT SPEAK LOUDLY. I know. I don't need to be given examples. I know what all of those things sound like. And so does everybody else.
 
Airplanes

Airline flight attendants, who instantly become Nazis when the turbulance signs come on.

Attendant: Sir, the sign is on...what are you doing?

Redleader: If I would have known that the turbulance signs were about to be turned on, I would have gone to the toilet beforehand. However, I did not, and I REALLY need to go, so I am willing to risk it. I would rather fall down in the plane or something than.....

Attendant: Sir, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN REAL TURBULANCE?????

Redleader: Is that a movie?

Attendant: Sir, I've been doing this a lot, and I've seen some pretty bad turbulant storms. You might want to second-guess standing up, nevertheless unfastening your seatbelt.

Redleader: Have you ever seen a man piss and/or shit himself?

---

Flight attendants who actually wake you up to ask you if you want to have the morning coffee. This has happened to me several times. "Excuse me, sir. Sir, ex...did you want coffee or tea?" NO, I PREFER TO RECHARGE NATURALLY, THROUGH SLEEP!!

---

In general, the people who take FOREVER to enter/exit an airplane. And hog the lanes, so nobody can get by and don't seem to care about it at all.

Yes, but some do and don't care, so they need to be reminded.
 
Redleader made me think of another one.... babies. Babies in movie theaters. Babies on planes. Babies anywhere!

I'm not saying that babies should never be allowed in public.. but honestly, it is quite annoying to listen to infants, or other small kids, whining and crying in public. Particularily a place like a theater, air plane, or restrurant where you're stuck sitting there listening to it unless you a) waste your money and leave or b) jump out of an airplane.

What is super annoying about it, is sometimes the mothers will not do anything about it... this happened to me twice in a restruant recently. This baby was wailing for about 10 minutes, the mother just sat there, hald-heartly patting its back while chatting away with her friend. I shot her a look, she just rolled her eyes and continued talking to her friend. TAKE YOUR FUCKIN BABY OUTSIDE SO THE REST OF US CAN EAT IN PEACE!!! I asked the waiter to get a manager, and I told him that I couldn't enjoy my meal with that baby crying so he asked the woman to step outside :)

Then a second time I was enjoying a night out with my boyfriend when this little kid in the booth behind us kept kicking the seat, and I could feel it shaking our whole booth (the booths were connected).. I looked over several times, there was no way his mother couldn't tell what he was doing, but she did nothing :! After about 5 minutes of kicking, I finally jap my elbow as hard as I can into the back of the booth right against where the kid is sitting. Their table gets silent for a minute (im sure they all felt it), and lo and behold that brat FINALLY got the message and didn't kick again for the rest of the night.

gahhhhh
 
well, i have a bunch of pets, so it's not uncommon for me to be in the vet's office.

if i am there with a cat, and your dog does not like cats, be smart and don't sit next to me.

if your dog will not shut the fuck up, and you are unable to control it, GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE.

Seriously though, I agree parents should act to make their baby stop crying. I cannot stand that. I have a hard time containing myself not to go yell STFU at crying babies' face.
 
I was on the bus the other day and a baby started crying. At least I thought that's what it was. No, Some guy had the sound of a crying baby as a ringtone on his mobile phone. What the fuck?! Why would you do that?? He then waited for ages before answering it, so by the time it stopped a real baby had started crying. That and the teenage brats playing crappy pop music through their crappy phone speakers for everyone to hear (I can use headphones, why can't they?). Of course I'd forgotten to bring my mp3 player so had to put up with it for the whole 40 minute journey. Aaaaaaaargh!
