Pet peeves.
- Thread starter Air Force 1
- Start date
This. VERY inconsiderate. They don't want to wait in the regular lanes because it would take too long yet have no issue clogging an area meant for small orders. But I have a number of pet peeves at self checkouts, including but not limited to:
- at this point in time it is amazing how few people have a decent understanding how to use them. Hell I am shocked at how many people still struggle with pin pads.
- letting your young kids scan the items when it is very busy/people waiting. No one there? Go ahead and let the little bastards play. If it's busy, please.
- people with 15 different kinds of produce. OMG.
- people who need assistance 3 different times in one order, which often results in the attendant just scanning their whole order for them and the other 2 people that need an age verification done for their 6-pack have to wait.
- people older than time itself using them. Respectfully, you just need some help so go to a regular lane when it's busy. Chalk it up to the other costs that come with growing old. What else you got to do today anyway?
hmmm I've never seen a # of items restriction in the self check out line, and since there are none, why do you feel it is limited to a number?
Hey if a store wants me to self check out, then label the produce accordingly.
if the store doesnt want to open regular check out lines, well you get what you pay for I guess.
so age discrimination (young and old) is ok when using a check out line?? Hmmmm I thought we stopped using separate facilities.
People on Southwest Airlines flights that insist on carrying on their luggage even though it's free to check it. You then have to wait for about as long as the flight to get off the fuc#ing plane while they pull down their bags from the overhead.
My PET peeves?
When I go back to bed and Fonzie (the basset hound) is not only not on his side of the bed, he’s taken over my pillow too!
When dogs poop in the neighborhood and owners don’t pick up after them.
My HUMAN pet peeve(s)?
Just the continual deterioration of lack of manners, please and thank you, basic common courtesy and respect.
Slow golfers.....and my bowling scores this morning.
Ridiculous athletic salaries.....ridiculous ticket prices for athletic events.
That Girl Scout cookies are only a once-a-year event.
That I’ve never meet any of Fair’s girl-next-door types.
The ever-increasing number of dumb-ass phone calls that I get for duct cleaning, roof repair and vehicle warranty extensions (etc. etc. etc. etc.).
That we have no Moderators here on Tom’s Board!

People who think rules don't apply to them, like parking in handicap spaces when they have no handicapped license or placard.
Oh I hear ya with the slow golfers! The ones who are looking for balls in the water or any other hazard all day long! The ones when you are playing for dollar skins and you’d think it was ten million by the way they are figuring it out. The ones that are always trying to tell people how to golf and can’t hit the damn ball themselves! The biggest one is the golfers who cheat! A guy I worked with would move the ball on every shot and of course if he was behind a tree would say “ I’m not hitting for here” then kick it out ten yards in the clear. Then he would brag at the clubhouse on how good he played! He used to get pissed when we played together because I’d throw him a tee and told him to use it in the fairway. If your going to cheat do it well!

Yeah, I used to golf with this guy that would mark his ball between the ball and the hole and then when he placed it to putt he would put it above his marker closer to the hole.
Not much of an increase but it's still cheating
On all airlines, it takes so long to exit the plane with people getting their oversized carry-ons. Often, they can't put it close to their seat, because the overhead bins over them are full.
Are you actually kidding me? You don't know the obvious point of self checkouts is to get people with small orders out without having to wait behind people with a ton of items? LMAO you really have to be kidding. Good luck to you tackling that complicated pin pad.
The rest of your comments are beyond idiotic.
162 - 156 - 149 = 467 (156 ave)
Usually 170-175 ave.....more if I use bumper guards!
Last two weeks snuck a 200+ in each week. Was living on borrowed time.
Highlight is always the $1.61 Costco hot dog & drink thereafter!
I'm retired now but I admit that I was often 2-3 minutes late for a lot of meetings. If I completed a task at 1:45 and I had a 2:00 meeting I would always try to squeeze something in like returning a phone call during those 15 minutes. It might have even been that my phone rang 7 minutes before the meeting and I answered. Next thing I knew I was 2-3 minutes late. It certainly wasn't that I lacked respect for other people's time. It was just me trying to be as productive as possible and sometimes doing a poor job managing my expectations for what I could accomplish during that short window of time.

The handful of McAndrew board posters that can't help but to be total arseholes. You can hardly post an opinion without somebody who disagrees taking a cheap shot.
Drivers who get pi$$ed because you're in the left lane only driving 10 mph over the speed limit and not passing cars in the right hand lane fast enough.Or the people that do 35mph while trying to get on to a major highway. Those folks with the blinkers are optional are 2 of my biggest driving pet peeves.
People who still write checks in the grocery stores.
People who use fake outrage all of the time and play the victim.
Drivers who pass me on the right then swerve in back in front of me on the left (because I left 3 car lengths between myself and the car ahead while travelling 70 mph).
I used to be a people person, but people ruined it.
If it has wheels, it’s not a carry on!!! If you can put a week’s worth of clothes in it, it’s not a carry on!!! If it doesn’t fit in the overhead bin, it’s not a carry on!!!!
Are you kidding me?? If you think the self checkouts were put in to speed things along YOU MISSED THE POINT!!!! Seriously
FTR pin pads don’t bother me I can work them just fine. Now if they would set them up with Apple Pay we could really zip through!!
Using a merge/yield sign as a red light because they are afraid of their own shadow driving therefore cannot have s a car within a 1000 yards in order to merge. As a result, they make everyone late meanwhile they probably have nothing to do and all day to do it in.
Someone needed to plow right into them and tell them to get the f out of the way.Just general clueless behavior by people. I never know if it’s that they simply don’t care or if they really are that stupid.
Just 1 example from today- Was going through the airport on a moving sidewalk. Terminals D, E require a hard right once you step off. Terminals AB continue going straight. So as a bunch of us are approaching the end of the moving sidewalk we all see about 4-5 people in a group talking about 2-3 feet from where the sidewalk ends. They are in front of it blocking about half of the path.
To go straight to AB you have to step off and go left to get around them. To go to D and E you need to make a hard right the minute you step off.
So some guy in front steps off and starts the right turn but then decides to stop and think about it for no reason. Now people are piling off the moving sidewalk and literally have no where to go but left to get around these idiots but a lady in front apparently can’t see this and make a decision quickly so she slows down trailing her suitcase behind her. The moving walkway off course continues to unload people at the same steady rate.
People were scampering and almost trampling each other while these idiots just stand there oblivious. The entire huge room to talk and they pick 3 feet in front of the moving walkway.
expanding on yours, the douchebag (typically driving a pick up with huge tires) that puts the middle of his car directly on top of the line, thus taking two spots. God forbid he get dinged (eye roll).
I'll pick the opposite. When people are driving in the left lane for no reason, politely get over as you approach, but then get right back in the left lane
People who judge others solely on that person’s political predilection.
Atheists who mock posts of believers, particularly Christians. Example Merry Christmas, Happy Easter = bashing meltdown.
Sure you can disagree with liberals here. It’s not about that. I disagree with conservatives all the time. Why am I a pet peeve of yours? You can’t say that you like me after saying that I’m a pet peeve of yours. Either judge me or don’t.
When someone doesn’t scrape the food off their plate into the trash and instead throws it all in the sink
2-3 minutes isn’t bad but I’m one of those people if I’m not at least 5 minutes early I’m late. I just don’t feel that whatever function is happening it should start on time.
My wife. Here are a few of the things just from today:
1. Leave lights on in a room she has no intention of going back in.
2. Leaving fridge door after taking something out to use and put back.
3. Not rinsing off dirty dishes.
4. Not putting dirty dishes in dishwasher.
5. Complains every day about a new ailment. (Today was her belief that she has MS.)

You really do have to be kidding me. You are the kind of person that thinks it's ok to murder at your workplace because there wasn't a sign that said you can't. You are devoid of common sense. You really think the intention of these was to let anyone with any amount of items use them? They want to save labor costs by having less cashiers, obviously, but is it so unreasonable they would expect people to have an ounce of common sense?
You have proven that was a bad assumption they made. I can only wonder what other things you do that think are perfectly fine if there isn't a guiding sign for you.
what they are doing is training people like you to use these things so they can put more and more in, and take jobs away from from people. You really think they can how many items you have in the cart? SMH
