Why Me? The Whining Posts For Little Things.

[blunthead]

Yeah, when you're behind someone in the left (i.e., passing) lane, and they're going slow, and you begrudgingly move to the right to pass them, and suddenly they're hitting the gas, not wanting you to pass. And if they succeed in cutting you off (which is very seldom, with my Little Red Beast), and you have to pull back behind them, they slow down again.

I don't waste ire on them, but I do resent their very existence at that moment.

Not letting BP up's the only way to live, though I continue to refuse to pass them on the right. That positively encourages their negative behavior. They learn that by slowing down the annoying person in their rearview will magically go away. They've learned that's how driving on expressways works. I stay behind them, a safe enough distance, but in their rearview. They need to learn how to drive; after all, it's not like they don't basic rules, unless perhaps they're from another country where rules are different or don't exist.

Okay, now in defense of this. I have had a loaded cart and the CHECKER has come and got me. And I will say, "I have more than 15 items." and she will say, "We aren't busy, I can help you." And then of course, 7 people line up behind me and give me the stank eye.

I know, that's a different circumstance. It's up to the cashier's discretion. I'm referring to people who take advantage or are ignorant of signs, of course.

But I want the people behind me to KNOW I didn't just get in that line! lol!

I know. It's the risk we all run who trust the kindness of strange cashiers.

I have a whine - why I am so dumb to have lost that little orange plastic key that goes with our lawnmower? So now I have to find a replacement key somehow and figure out how to recharge our Black and Decker lawnmower.

Well - it's great for that guy who is out there right now working on the lawn (his name is Willy and he seems really nice - a First Nations dude)!

Maybe I will Google Black and Decker rechargeable mower and see what pops up. It's worth a trip to Canadian Tire if they sell replacement keys - I am sure I am not the first person on earth to lose that d*mn plastic key!

Those kinds of things are designed to become lost. Yer only human, Neese. I'm certain replacement keys are readily available, if only online.

What's a First Nation's dude?

What's a First Nation's dude?

In the U.S., we would say "Indian" or "Native American."

 

[not_nadine]

Why must I obsessively proofread? (Ofentimes, it seams, every wrting but my onw.)

Actually, I try hard not to sweat the small stuff. Makes for a more serene life.

Pubic Bathrooms make me say .. Why me, as well, Grandpa..

Wow - Kathy looked older 30 years ago. Is she a sparkly vampire?

Holly.... we should NOT talk about THOSE sort of vampires here (since they don't qualify as vampires at all). To do so would be spitting in the face of every good writer on this planet.

Why is it when I'm in a big hurry at the grocery store the little ole lady in front of me has to write a CHECK from scratch? And why does it take her forever? And why doesn't she at least fill out the pay to line and date before she gets there? WHY? I know one day I will be her, so I just smile at her.

...you forgot to mention the expired coupons that she insists are still good.

yes lord.

Why am I fairly confident that out of all the members posting here, I'm one of the few, perhaps the only one, who could post a whine in this thread and have it edited for content, as has happened to other posts? Heh! A true prophet, upon predicting a flood, should be found naked in a tree.

Murphy's Law. What happens to me routinely, as if I'm cursed, is when I finally reach the cashier she has to put more paper in the register.

And she's not quite sure how to do it.

Maybe because you'd probably be "one of the few, perhaps the only one" to post a mess of political ranting (yes) in a thread outside of the politics area? This is the only reason I can think of that your post/s might need editing in this thread.

And she's not quite sure how to do it.

and then you wait an hour while she calls someone to help.or she calls for an over ride.

Historically, tea has always been an instigator. Especially that Earl Grey bastid.

....I would enjoy dumping a few of these lunkheads into Bawwwwstun Haaaawbah....

Or someone starts unloading their cart containing 55 items at the 15 items or less register.

...that's when I wish I had a conceal carry permit for a cattle prod...

....do cattle prods bother you?....
