People who waist my time so I'm stuck in the office at 8:30 at night.

I had to come back to this because it drives me crazy as well.

A lady in my office is a self proclaimed New England fan and like i have said before on here I root all New England expect the Redskins.

She always says something that is off about sports and it is always like nails on a chalk board to me.

All through the Bruins Stanley Cup run she kept saying ball instead of puck, annoying. Then today she said did you hear the Red Sox got a new head coach, ugh!

People who confuse extremely simple words like waste and waist.

Did you see Peyton Manning throw that home run last night? It was crazy!

I was just at the gym and this woman had the TV cranked all the way up. I'm like really? Then this old dude strolls in and starts jogging on the treadmill while he's rocking a pair of jeans. I'm like I've gotta get out of here.

i actually went to the gym in jean shorts one day, because all my regular workout clothes were being washed and it was either skip the day at the gym due to not having proper attire or just wearing jean shorts. I chose the latter. But I'm definitely not the only one who's done it, I see kids coming in all the time (you can tell they are the irregulars since they don't know how to use some machines and don't know proper gym etiquette) and doing it. For me it was a one time thing only, I hated working out in jean shorts. They are just not comfortable for wearing at the gym at all.

That's funny. There was a guy at the gym the other day- normal looking guy, probably mid-20's... his BO was so bad I was tempted to call him out. I mean it was literally nauseating. You could smell him from like 10 feet away, and if he was on a machine, the smell lingered by that machine for at least a few minutes after he walked away. I played sports all my life and have spent a lot of time in gyms/locker rooms.... It was one of the worst ever. Grinded my damn gears.

BULLEE DAT. It's only one pair in my not at all vast collection of shorts, but idc. I'm cheap and they serve their intended purpose. But I do cringe whenever I see older males still wearing them with their ratty ass t-shirts tucked in, and their jorts pulled up to their upper waist/lower stomach. I think I just I have a thing against tucking t-shirts in if you're not wearing a uniform or nice clothes.

That's just beyond gross.

Am currently in Vegas and a taxi driver got pissed because I used a card and there wasn't a spot for tip on there. He's like, "Anything for me?"

Ended up peeling out.

I know we've talked about this before, but your taxi is your JOB, you didn't go above and beyond for me a-hole.

i thought you lived in new york, not jersey.

what kills me is when someone tells you they have completed a job, to find out upon inspection that they have done nothing. do they seriously think i'm not going to f-ing notice the wall still has no f-ing drywall on it?!?!?

On that same note....a workman of some kind will make a commitment as to when he will have a particular job of work completed for you. When that date arrives you discover that not only has the work not been completed, but perhaps not started. When you call the said....craftsman on the missed due date....he acts insulted by your inquiry. All you basically get is attitude and the endless excuses and the feeling that somehow it is not his fault?
WTF A...hole...GET the F..n thing done. Put down the blunt and the fishing rod and knock out this sheet rock.....
It's situations such as this that I can understand the wisdom of the "5 day waiting period" for handgun purchase.
