Everybody has a few things! You know, those things that just irk the crap out of you!
I'll start. What irks me is those people who are driving in front of you and don't signal their turn. Aaaaaaaaarrrgghh!

Failure to signal is up there on my list. Slow drivers in the fast lane. Drivers who dawdle at intersections, especially in left-turn lanes, but manage to accelerate at the last second when the light turns yellow, so they're the last car that makes the light (related is the car that doesn't pull out into the intersection to make a left when there's a break in traffic; again, they seem to be the only ones to make the light). Litterbugs, particularly smokers who toss their butts in the street or on the sidewalk.

My wife thinks I'm nuts because so many things irk me. I don't think I should start making a list. Y'all would start agreeing with my wife, and I don't need that here at the Café.

Another one, that sends my blood pressure soaring:
When on a long line at the bank, especially when there are one or two tellers available, and people have more than one transaction, I just wish that they would give the teller all their transactions at once. Not 'piece-meal' them and engage in useless chit-chat! WOW! |

People telling me what irks them.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Oooooooooone.........twooooooooooooooooooo............threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!

How about those elderly couples that wear "master", and "slave" t-shirts.
I always try to treat the old folks special, because only the most fortunet of us will become elderly.

That stupid "clamshell" packaging. Ever get a cut from one of those things? They almost always scar due to the jaggedness of the edge.
Just horrible.

Bought a special opener for the clamshell packaging.
Couldn't get it out of the clamshell package.

People who wait until they get to the front of the line (at a fast-food place) to start figuring out what they want.
And then there are those at the supermarket who wait until the cashier has bagged all their stuff, then start looking for the money, and end up writing a check. Drivers who pull up alongside you, playing rap, with the bass turned all the way up. I've actually felt my car vibrating.
That's our departed buddy Burt, aka The Great Burtini, doing his famous Cups and Mice routine

By the time he got his pack of Bicycle open the show was over.

TV weathermen who for some unfathomable reason, feel they must act like Bozo to hold my attention. At least it's spring, so they don't mention "wind chill factor" a hype to disguise the fact that the temperature is exactly what you'd expect for that time of year.

Thumb rings.
People whose greetings are, "How are you?" when they really don't care. Having to chop thru tons of red tape to get what should be a simple task done. Having a certain appointment time and having to wait 45 minutes past that time. |

Press one for English, and two for Icelandic.
