Annoying things that annoy only you.

<br>Yeah, what is it about the old ladies who don't even dig the checkbook out of the purse until the cashier announces the total?

Or how about the parents who let their kids poke and prod the merchandise? Y'know how Starbucks has those refrigerated display cases with the sandwiches, etc.? The kids can't resist putting their fingers into the plastic wrap. I know they're not touching the actual food with their snotty, poopy little fingers, but it still grosses me out.

Or, speaking of Starbucks, those $&%#ing people who don't know how to order. I know some people think it's pretentious that Starbucks does short, tall, grande, and venti instead of small, medium, large, and extra large, but if you're going to bother to get your coffee at Starbucks instead of the gas station then you had better damn well know what a grande is.

Or the twit in front of me the other day who wanted a no-whip mocha. The barista screwed up and and put whipped cream on it, but instead of just asking him to scoop the whip out she made him re-make it, even though there was a long line. Hey, bitch, if you're so worried about the #%^ing calories why are you getting a whole milk mocha?

I usually have a Starbucks coffee about once a month, and will admit to being a line moron, not knowing what all the stuff is called. When you've been weened on Tim Hortons, the upscale shit goes right over your head.

Blir, I'm guessing Dunkin Donuts is the Tims equivalent in the U.S.?

In the northeast anyway. My coworkers made fun of me when I first got up here for saying stuff like "meet me at the Duncan Donuts". They were like "who the fook is Duncan?!" I thought the place was run by some fellow micks. Who knew? [:o)]

I hate the incessant yapping on morning radio shows. Just. Shut. Up. And. Play. Music.
I can't stand any kind of talking for the first few hours after I wake up, but the radio people send me over the edge.

People who wear house slippers or rubber flip-flops in public. Can you try, just a little, to pull yourself together a bit?

Loud talkers. (Back to talking again). SHUT UP!

I agree the morning radio shows make me want to vomit, especially the ones where the hosts all laugh to the point of pissing themselves after every sentence one of them spouts that is supposed to be funny.

Too bad about their dad, Mister Donut...[V]

People who drive around on perfectly clear nights with only their fog lights on.

[phillyidol]

People that get off the elevator, then stop to talk to someone. HELLO? I need to get out!

People that do the same on the stairs!

This is a big one! People that double park their car.....across from another double parked car!!!! You couldn't move up 2 feet? No just block the whole damn street we don't mind. ASSHOLES!

And you wonder why we stereotype snooty Starbucks patrons. I'm comin' over with my Dunkin Donuts mug and ordering "Coffee!...Regular!!...On the double you over-preened beeyatches!!!" [}:)][:D]

Just imagine what it would be like if you were stuck in line behind some nitwit who required an explanation of the difference between glazed and Bavarian Creme. [:D]

One of my assistants is from Chicago and desperately misses DD (she orders the coffee online).

Having never set foot in a Starbucks, I am now scared sh** to visit one and order anything other then a black coffee! [;)]

Marie and Wolvie, if you ever make it out here to Starbucks' home state, I promise that I will walk you through it. [:D] (Like Seinfeld with the Soup Nazi.)

Thank you Hex! I'll need it! I feel like the new Duncan Donuts advertisement making fun of Starbucks is directed at people just like me - I think that's where my angst is coming from.

Thanks to the Simpsons, I sort of feel this way about Barnes & Noble too - full of over educated grad students with lots of hostility over working in retail.

Don't do it! You'll slip up somehow and she'll pretend she doesn't know you (just like Seinfeld)!!!
