I have a terrible pet peeve of when you are waiting in a line and someone comes up behind you, maybe a few and a new cashier comes up and opens up a new register and all the people behind you get to go over and go ahead and you are still waiting!!!.... I think this happens all over the US, well at least in the states I have resided in...

WELL... let me tell you how they do it in the England! ...
:joint:

They have it set up to where There is one line where everyone waits and as a cashier becomes free they light up there number and then you can step forward.. You don't just go up to different registers, you wait in one be line and wait your turn.. This blew my mind, SO simple and relieved all my frustrations with this pet peeve... This is one of those wonderful things that happened and I was so tickled...

This was not my solution but it sure solved my problem, now, how can we get stores over here to do that?... :chin:

Banks and post offices work like that here, supermarkets tend to use the american system of Hail Mary attacks on new cashiers, first come first served. All other stores use a much simpler system, one cashier for all, regardless of ques.

Over here they are getting rid of cashiers all together and putting in diy-self checkouts. Only one person watches up to four self checkout stations.

Other then crappy drivers my biggest pet peeve are people who try to force their opinions on other people. Ignorant people are annoying too, but it is only when these ignorant people take their ignorance to the next level of stupidity by forcing their seemingly genius opinions on other people.

For example:
People who don't smoke weed that cannot tolerate weed on any level. (the kind of people that you can have a fun conversation with until you tell them that you've been high throughout the entire conversation and it immediately changes their viewpoint of you in a negative way)
I could easily go on but I'll stop now before I get too worked up.

People who drive in the left hand lane making faster drivers have to pass them on the right. (USA I guess hehehehe)

Solution: I have made two signs and attached them to popsicle sticks when I pass someone the right I hold one of them up in my window as I pass by.

1. YOU! Driving in the passing lane!

2. Keep right except to pass! (wanted to add dumbass at the end but decided it wouldnt be a good idea.)

Those seem like a good idea until you go to a DIY register and when you hit the button to pay , instead of it letting you put your money in, it gives you a receipt and says "Please go pay cashier" so you end up waiting in two lines as oppesesed to one. Drives me fuckin nuts. Whole point of DIY is not having to screw with a register person yet they make you do it any way. What i do is when it gives me the receipt and it says pay cahier. I just put the cash down on register and walk away. I tell the girl at register to walk over to DIY register and get the money I left. I refuse to wait in two lines. Its just silly

the diy registers i've seen have slots you can enter money in and it gives you change,but they always are fucking annoying because you have to put the groceries on the basket thing or it wont process it and when you have alot of groceries its a bad idea.

Yeah but when they are short on staff or early in the AM they dont have a person to watch the 2-3 DIY registers so they turn the pay it yourself option off and make you go to a regular register and pay a worker after you bag up all your shit . Its a crock!!

In the UK people tend to accelerate at the same time as the light turns thusly getting about twice as many people through a light than the US. I HATE sitting waiting on some dumbass to wait to go until the car in front of him is two car lengths ahead.... if we all accelerate all at once we'd all get to where we are going much faster.... Then again, now that I think about it... Europe is generally a step ahead of anything the US is trying to do.... :chin:

My cars rolling when the other light turns yellow! Occasionally I've been the dumbass at the light who didn't notice the light had changed, however I try to keep those moments to a minimum.

my ex girlfriend has this pet peeve about the toilet seat being left up. she was a stickler about it too. finally i just left the seat down all the time. but then she started to complain about the little "accidental" drops of pee being left on the seat. so then i just started to wipe the seat off with the socks on my feet, and then later on when she wanted to get friskie and play around i would playfully rub my feet in her face. she fell off a cliff and died on impact.

When the clothing manufactures change or discontinue your style/size of your pants.They already only made them in two colors, now they are gone. My other pants, they quit putting pockets in them, Who would buy pants with no pockets :confused: Now instead of just ordering off the internet, I have to go to a store and find new pants/jeans and I hate going shopping(I know, not the female thing to say) I was in that store for 2 horus trying on pants, I found some that I'm sure will be just fine.


**note** Don't drink a big gulp befor going shoping, retailers get very suspisious and start following you around if you go into the bathroom more than once.. :drum:

Mr. Nevermind

I am a guy , but I also hate buying jeans as well. I ended up finding polo banner jeans and loved them. Before they got a chance to take them away from me I went and got 12 pair of them. just so if they stop them i am stocked up.


Another pet peeve of mine is smoking with people. I hate when you pass a J to someone and they take a puff then procedd to talk to you about the J. While holding it and watching it burn down. By the time I get it back its a roach and the perosn that passed it only took 1 or 2 tokes, just let it burn whil erunning theri mouth. Since then I have learned to roll and smoke my own J's and not pass in a crowd,. I'd rather just smoke the whole J myself anyway. I tell them if they want to waste smoke then to bring their own, but mine is going to good use.
