Oh my God, yes!!! Thank you, there is someone out there who feels my pain. I am convinced it is the gift bag and tissue paper Industries behind this movement. Buy a three dollar bag instead of using 12 cents of wrapping paper.Here's my Christmas greivance (from personal experience over the last couple days)...
Toys that don't come in square boxes. Have you noticed that most toys now a days come in boxes that are half open to show the product? You try to wrap them and half the paper is stretched out over open air. particularly difficult over open corners.
Festivus....for the rest of us....

What do you mean by that? I don’t understand.
Answer to 1: The same pitt engineers that decided it was ok to put some automobile gas tank fill openings on the right side of some cars so that gas stations sometimes become a demolition derby with cars crossing over to the left to fill up....

look at the photo in my post and tell me if you still disagree with me.
And speaking of high beams (no not THOSE kind of high beams) what ever happened to drivers dimming their lights when coming towards you or following you as a courtesy?!?!?
Touchbacks - you are not getting that minute of your life back.
Social Media - the actual existence of which has made people anti-social
In-Laws - you really need any justification?
The guy at work who doesn’t pitch in $5 when powerball gets really high. You may have met his cousin, the guy who bets on the “Don’t Pass” at Craps

More than a courtesy, it's the law. Of course like a lot of them, hard to enforce.
I love the car stories. I think I have experienced every one of them.
Coming home from a winter in Florida on the I95 and towing a boat I usually have some unusual events along the way. On one trip I get up into Jersey on the Turnpike in the northern section where they were doing a lot of construction so we were stop and go for a few miles. A guy in a big Mercedes comes up on my right in the break down lane trying to pass everyone and he can't get by my boat rig. So he starts making turning moves like he is going to hit my boat if I don't move over and let him by. The break down lane is ending so he has to make a move and tries to jam me but I run a big SUV and the boat trailer has guide-ons that are very durable steel. So now he is stuck at the dead end and he makes one more desperate move to fake a hit on my boat but I let enough space open up ahead of me and when he does this I hit the gas and jerk forward with my right side guide-on taking off his drivers side outside mirror. It just ripped cleanly off his big Mercedes with him blowing his horn but no one would let him in and I was probably at the NY border before he got out of that mess.

As long as they don't get chocolate in the peanut butter and vice versa. Oh wait...
But glad I'm no longer working.
My pet peeve is guys who throw their cigarettes in the urinal. They get soggy & wet and are hard to light.
Moving to non work grievance.
Standing in line for coffee at Dunkin Donuts in Maryland House.
Why is it necessary to bring the whole family to make an order? Little kids who are traveling with a si the parent I can Understand. But mom dad kids aunts uncles grandparents?
Not. Necessary.
Conversely when did standing in line st Dunkin Donuts become like standing in line at the DMV?

cable tv networks that destroy any enjoyment of watching shows, especially movies, by showing 7 minutes of movie, 5 minutes of commercials....7 minutes of movie, 5 minutes of commercials. There are many of these and particularly AMC which claims to love movies, but butcher them completely, including shaving bits of the movie off here and there.
Then late at night or early morning, they reverse it...5 minutes of movie, 7 minutes of commercials....5 minutes of movie, 7 minutes of commercials.
People that do this do not deserve to live.

It’s not just the commercials. It’s those clown hosts networks insist on having talk about the movie at the start and end of the commercial break.
“Now John, one of my favorite scenes when I was a kid was when John Candy opens the peanut butter and proceeds to put it on the white bread! I couldn’t stop laughing! My parents didn’t think it was quite so funny when I tried it, though. Ahh! That was hilarious!”
“I agree, Marilyn. Good times! We now rejoin Eating Lunch at Christmas on AMC.”
Kill me. Please.

I was traveling through Maryland. It's not like I was in America! !Dunkin’ Donuts?! THE. HORROR.
True. Isn’t Duck Donuts big down there? I’ve never been, but I’ve heard good things.
The way people drive in snow! Getting 2nd of the year here , close to Notre Dame area . Forecast upgraded from maybe 2 to 5-8 so I made a grocery run and 4 wd pick up trucks! I have one myself , a stock model. On the way some jacked up redneck job gunning it through a 4 way trying to fishtail.......really cool esp when you fishtail into me. I ended up getting slightly off the road and waiting for him to pass. One in the fairly busy parking lot that people seem to lose all memory of where to drive when the lines are covered even though 98% come here once a week or more, doing donuts and close to parked cars. They also seem to love to tailgate 2wd drivers. I have 2 wd too and there is a big difference but my 4 wd doesnt change what the car/truck ahead has and you arent getting anywhere more than a second faster, saw 2 of those. My last/first intersection is a kinda bad one and as I am returning see the remnants of some dumbass doing donuts in the road!! All this in 10 miles round trip. Also why drive with just your parking lights? It doesnt cost extra to just use your headlights like 99% of other people do.
You just described about all of our resident trolls... GTACSA, GMJ11, Oracle, LaNotta Lion, etc, etc. God bless the ignore button!

I hate when airports have the security lines for "normal travelers", Families, and "expert travelers". EVERYONE, even those with families, think they are experts... despite appearing as if they've never set foot in an airport in their lives.
People who hog the entire escalator. Sure you might not be in a hurry, or get winded by walking up steps, but some of us don't want to F*ck around. I had a woman once flip out on me for stepping over her bags and proceeding on an escalator.
Waiting for people to make a decision on anything is infuriating. Like when people are waiting in line to order, or get food at a salad bar.. how do you not know what you want by the time you get there? You had plenty of time to figure it out while waiting in line. Also there are people behind you waiting, so you might want to act efficiently.
People in general seem to struggle thinking beyond 3 seconds into the future. Being able to think 6 steps ahead, and acting with a sense of urgency has helped me be very successful in life.
Or have their money ready. Seriously, did you think they were going to give it to you for free?
Men who wear scarves tied in a big knot like a big tie. Unless you are European royalty-stop it.
Waiters/Waitresses who leave you as a “restaurant hostage” by refusing to come back and pick up your credit card from the little folded ledger your bill comes in....
The phrase “on steroids” when referring to something being a bigger version of something else
All license plate covers which use the word “alumni” of said school. It should just say “alumnus.”

Penn State fans who are so obsessed, they constantly complain when other posters make fun of Pitt. Life is too short... have some damn fun!
Only if the person in question is male. For a female, proper usage is "alumna." Then, there are situations when it could represent more than on: husband, wife, children or any combination thereof.
