Things that annoy me


  • Have you ever been in a checkout with eight or so people amd when the clerk next to you opens their register and says I'll take the next customer it's usually the last two in line who sprint over their first....and get waited on while you are still in the same spot.

  • People who don't use their turn signals and jump in front of you.

  • Those annoying coworkers that are constantly asking for change for a dollar or can you lend me five bucks till payday.

  • Neighbors who are talking loud or blasting their stereo high.

  • Someone who is always late to a meeting and thinks nothing of it.
  • Commercials on TV or Radio that make little or no sense.
  • Spam emails or phony job offers coming into your mailbox.
  • How the media treats celebrity news as major news.
  • Anyone who parks their car/truck/van over the line and takes up two places.
  • Couples that take their personal issues into a public place and you can hear them, word for word, insult for insult.

Feels like temperature and customer service phrases

While watching the weather report on television the other day I saw a fairly new phrase: the feels like temperature. Now walking outside I could say it "feels like 80." Someone next to me may say it feels like 65 to them. Another could say it must be at least 90. The exact meaning of a sentence or phrase is sometimes curious, especially in the world of customer service. Have you ever been told by an agent, I need to put you on hold for a minute. Meanwhile a real time of five minutes has passed and still no agent back on the line. You have have walked into a place to eat and the waiter may say, I'll have your table cleaned up in a second. One thousand one, one thousand two. Over two minutes later, it's still being cleaned. An interesting phrase when buying online is days before your item gets to you.
