What is YOUR pet peeve? Let's have a laugh.

Arguing back & forth about whose peevy pet is most valid?

What???? Pet peeves about who has the biggest pet peeves!

I was sitting in a dentist's waiting room. An older woman starts complaining that sitting for too long hurts her legs. Another older woman says, "That's nothing, I had knee surgery! If the weather is below 60ºF, I can't walk!"

The first replies, "You have it easy! I've had two knee replacements! It takes me 30 minutes to get out of bed! My daughter had to help me!"

The second woman, "At least you have an attentive daughter! My children moved to the other side of the country! And my husband won't respond to me anymore!"

First: "At least you have a husband! My dirty scumbag of a man up and left me 40 years ago, for some barmaid floozy!"

Second: "AND I get these debilitating migraine headaches every day! Every time this happens, one of my teeth is loose!"

First: "You think that you have it bad, at least you have teeth! I lost mine 40 years ago!"

I just kept doing crossword puzzles on the phone.

I used to have a low hp car that handled really well, one of the most fun parts of my commute was a really long curved onramp on my start home. There was a guy with a WRX STI that seemed to leave from closer to the freeway at the same time. He would regularly gun it to jump out in front of me just before the onramp. Then I'd be stuck behind him as he slowly went around the corner. His car would twitch as he'd continually try to adjust his turn. Only when it straightened out on the freeway would he finally step on it.

Reminds me of a joke I heard years ago. There are a three guys sitting on a park bench. Two of them, middle-aged, are talking to each other about their aches and pains. The third, an elderly man says "you youngsters complain and complain. I go to bed every night at 10. Every morning at 7 on the dot I take a p**s. At 8 I take a s**t". They say "that's pretty good old-timer". He replies "I just wish I could get out of bed before 9".
 
Stores that put stuff in the middle of the aisles. I know it is there because enough people buy those things, however what they aren't figuring is the number of people that buy fewer things to the side of the aisle. With nice, wide aisles I can leisurely look from side to side to see what I want. When it gets crowded I just focus on getting what I absolutely need and getting out. There is the frustration of heading down one side of the piles and getting stuck behind someone that wants to stand and look at one spot for 5 minutes and I don't want to be that person for others, so I just skip by things that are slightly interesting.

It is the same thing with department stores where I can see all the way through the section to spot if there is anything interesting. As soon as the aisles get crowded with racks, I'm looking ahead instead of browsing.

Our favorite grocery store remodeled and shrunk by about 40%. The aisles got narrower and they still put dozens of display boxes out, so that only a single cart at a time could get past them. We stopped shopping there.

Freaking Home Depot does it, because nobody is going to buy something big there and need to get around...

Giant grocery stores are awful for many reasons, the main one being that I have to hike a mile to get all the stuff I want. I like Trader Joe's. I can be in and out of there is 10 minutes with everything I need. I've recently noticed that they seem to be rearranging the store every couple weeks, probably so you have to hunt for things and will therefore see more stuff and make some impulse buys that you wouldn't if they left the arrangement alone.

Don't forget when a worker brings a pallet into the aisle to restock the shelves, that's an added bonus to the shopping experience.
 
People that go into these UPS or FedEx shipping places with Amazon returns. None of their stuff is EVER boxed or bagged up, they get the clerk at the store to do it. Then, they stand there with their cellphones in their hands, like little security blankets, waiting to scan the QR code that sets them free.

If I owned a UPS/FedEx shipping store, anyone bringing in Amazon returns would have to pay a $5 service charge for us putting up with your crap. And people with stuff already boxed up and with a shipping label on it? They get the red carpet treatment, move right to the front of the line. Especially if they have a heavy amplifier in the box. Mentioning that part for a friend... ;)

I have done that type of return to a local UPS shop many times. Amazon says you don't have to package the item being returned, and I'm sure their delivery contract with UPS says UPS will do any packaging necessary. I'm usually in and out within 1 minute. And yes, the QR code they email to you is what tells UPS to ship the return and where to ship it.
 
When I sent my camera to Canon for repair, the shipping going there was discounted, and unfortunately the clerk at UPS had never done that particular one before. I apologized all over the place while she did a snipe hunt through their menu tree to find it. Unfortunately there was nothing I could have done different to help. I offered to just skip the discount, but she wanted to do it as promised.
