Pet Peeves?

There's a reason I try to make sure I shop in places that have a self checkout ...
Another thing just struck me - if I'm in a queue with a trolley and someone comes up behind me carrying two or three things, I always offer to let them go ahead of me. How come nobody does that to me when I have to buy a gallon of milk and I'm in a rush?

People who cannot/will not get the quote function on here. There really should be an IQ test, before you're allowed loose on BE.

Or, there's a price check to do and the checkout person sends special needs employee off on an endless quest.. meanwhile checkout person stands there motionless with an unfocussed look on her face, there for the long-haul..

Idiot people that use the "speedy checkout - 20 items or less" and wait until the cashier has told them the total, before they start to hunt around every pocket for their cheque book. Just having to go the the rigmarole of writing a chequecompletely defeats the whole point of having a speedy line, let alone not being prepared in advance.
The cashier giving you the hump when after waiting all that time, have only one extra item over the limit.

TV drama's like 24, where the mobile phone always has reception and the battery works all day, every day, without fail.
Tele shows where someone jumps into a car while on the run and knows exactly how to start and get the car going...without doing anything daft like switching the wipers on while trying to put the lights on kind of stuff.
Now that it's starting to get chilly....how in MA, they have that clicker on the petrol pump removed so you can't click the trigger to stay on and get back in the car to wait it out...unless you stick the petrol cap in, but that's a bit risky
How after spending $70 on a oil change last week, there's a new tyre place that opened up this week across town that is offering opening specials, one of which is a $20 oil change....okay that's for standard oil and synthetic is double, but that's still a lot cheaper...

Daughter is a check out chick. She had a moron come through with her moronic husband. Got half way through and she told daughter she couldn't remember her pin. Daughter asked if she had another card. Got to the end and she got a card out and then said she didn't know the pin. She then had another go. Husband said 'use my card'. Shoved that in, moronic wife asked what the pin was, he told her it was the same as hers.
