Supermarkets!

E.g. being forced to go through the fruit and vegetable maze before getting to the other shelves if you just want some bread or milk.

The narrow entrances to the fruit/vegetable maze that end up with people parking their trolleys just past the narrow entrance which blocks any others from pushing their trolleys in.

People who are blocked from getting in the narrow entrance who just stand there in a stupor, not saying or doing anything. I shout out "excuse me, trolley traffic jam" to try and break the supermarket enchantment spell.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DoomWarrior', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('basil_hayden', 'I') have a problem with pet peeve threads.


We could care less about your "problems" .......

You know what I mean?


I don't think anyone asked for the opinion of a useless turd named DoomWarrior.

It bugs me when people use the drive through at a coffee shop to order a whole ton of food when, in my opinion, they should use it for minimal orders to keep the impression that it is quicker and more convenient to just grab a coffee.

:evil: One of my many peeves is the modern use of the word sketchy. Young people today use it to mean "Bad" instead of "incomplete" or "preliminarey" As in the neighborhood was pretty sketchy. Meaning its a slum.
