[Complete Pete]

vulgar speech

 

[muzicgrl]

People who smoke in public places. Happened to me this morning in the BART station and now my throat is going to hurt all day.

 

["Roberto"]

No, I don't fit your requirements.

 

[muzicgrl]

Oh and peeing on the friggin toilet seat. Grrr....

This is my #1 pet peeve!!!<br><br>
- Litterbugs; I regularly dish out the evil eye to those that dump their crap on the subway tracks. <i>Really, people??</i>

 

[wipaddler]

<br>
people who stick kids on the front of their carts and then push said cart out into the intersection and then glare at me when I almost take out their kid.

 

[Ileneforward]

There is a protocol for intersections in grocery stores??? <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif"> Uh oh

 

[Buxtehude]

...<br><br>
Edited out my rambling nonsense. Nothing to see here folks. Step away from the computer, Bux.

Yes! Care should be taken when aisles intersect with lanes. People in the lanes have the right of way. It's polite for lane people to let aisle people go ahead of them, but if the lane people don't do that, aisle people should just wait a second until it's clear and then go. At no time should aisle people just bust out into the lane without checking.

 

[Gingerbread]

I don't know about it either, Ilenie.<br><br>
My current peeve:<br><br>
People who use the sugar spoon to also stir their coffee and put it back in the sugar bowl. Ew. They don't always wash out their cup before putting in the coffee. I don't need your dang germs in my coffee or tea. Then again, I suppose I could just wean myself off sugar.

I forgot to add:
<ul><li>People who don't use subject headers in business-related emails.</li>
<li>Brothers who don't return calls promptly.</li>
</ul>

Today, it is whiny students who have been whining to me about the same sob stories all semester about why it is impossible to turn work in on a due date, or attend class, or come on time, or not have workout clothes, etc. I would so much rather hear the plain truth or nothing than listen to whining and weak excuses.<br><br>
And also -- having to constantly re-explain the simplest directions to adults. Directions that have been explained since the beginning of class. Directions that are in writing in a class syllabus.<br><br>
I try to have limitless patience with my students (or at least appear to), but I am human too and as spring term nears the end that becomes much more of a challenge.

Which is the Lane and which is the Aisle? The Aisles are the numbered ones? I just use caution at all intersections and try not to run anyone down...

 

[coacht]

Ginormous displays at the end of aisles that don't permit me to see lane traffic. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>

 

[lelly]

Aisles are the numbered ones. You go to the bread aisle to find the bread, for example. Lanes are where they have the end caps and the little islands with other stuff they're trying to hawk that week. Plus a jillion people, their kids, and their carts. Gah!

 

[runningINnyc]

The Entenmanns display?

 

[coacht]

I can be bribed into changing my mind ...<br><br>

 

[runningINnyc]

Is gooey butter cake the way to your heart? Or are you more of a danish man???

 

[clb]

High-maintainance people with unrealistic expectations of other people.
