People who sit next you on the bus, and insist on making small talk. Even when I've (politely) made it clear that I don't want to talk.
"I'd love to chit-chat, but I'm on day two of cold turkey heroin withdrawal right now, and too much talking might make me throw up and/or shit myself. Not that I'm not willing to take the risk, since you seem like a person I'd love to get to know. I just wanted to warn you in case...hope you like Mexican, I had it over the course of the night. Can I borrow ten bucks?"
In the United States a valid drivers license is not a good enough form of ID for Government purposes! No for social services or the BMV I need a birth certificate or passport.... why is a slip of paper given to me 23 years ago more proof than a gov issue photo drivers license/id
Some places in the States won't accept a passport as a valid form of ID (such as to buy smokes or drinks). The reason I always heard was that the stores didn't get the technology needed to swipe passports to for authentication (but they did for state-issued IDs). Haha, my favourite time was when I just had my passport and they wouldn't sell me cigarettes since I couldn't show a state ID. I asked what I would do if I was a tourist from overseas and the girls kinda looked at each other and agreed that a passport would be sufficient there. WTF?
And then the time that I had a job that involved selling alcohol and this dude wanted to use his conceal and carry permit for ID. We couldn't let him, and he COMPLETELY LOST IT. It sounds like I'm making it up, but he wanted to buy a case of Budweiser to drink on July 4th...I was like "man, it's just store policy, I'm not questioning your relationship with your country..." and he went on about a fifteen minute rampage before having to be escorted to his vehicle (surprisingly enough was a Japanese sportscar).
I really cannot stand the word
WHOOPS. So god-damn obnoxious. "Oops" already kinda bothers me, but "whoops" is "oops" on steroids. A choice word too for those troubled people who seem to like to go out out of their ways to create situations in which they can use their choice word(s).
I swear every single female in my extended family seems to get some type of gratification out of the use of this word, as if the uncomfortable/inconvenient/difficult/weird/fucked-up situations that, in their minds, beg its use are worth it just so that they can exclaim "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOPS!" (enough Os to impersonate every train in the world twice, probably getting headaches by how hard they press the lips together for the P when it comes....) as we nearly collide entering/exiting the kitchen or whatever it might be. That half-second after the event occurs before it's exclaimed is the worst. When ya know it's coming, see the lips changing shape, the eyes lighting up...
I'll know if any of my family members are BLers when I see them complaining in here about a family member who does not want to stop saying "If you don't stop saying 'Whoops,' I am going to strangle you. Intentionally. Like without any whoops" too many times.
