-People using the self-checkout that probably can't even turn on a calculator.

-People with nowhere to go and all day to get there puttering around in the left lane.

-Anyone with a bluetooth earpeice in their ear 24/7 whether they are getting a call or not.

-People who sat in line for 5 minutes looking at the menu but still don't know what they want when it is their turn to talk into the clown.

-The controller that speaks at 110 mph who when you ask them to slow down and repeat, slows down to 109.9 mph and acts like you are a retard. I understand the concept of speaking quickly and clearly but this is not an Auction it is a flight clearance. Especially when they give you a clearance that has 12 points that aren't on the DP (thanks whoever you were at KHEF on Sunday, the Karma train will have your name on it one day).

I worked as a Concession Vendor at a movie theater when I was in high school. I know what you mean about that.

This might be an indicator of a major problem.

The guy I have to fly with. Makes my job miserable. The sad thing is... it has the potential to be a great job! He is retired from America West and this is his first real corporate job and he has ruined it with his ignorance of how business aviation is supposed to work. Apparently, at AmWest , the "Captain" is pretty much single-pilot and the "co-pilot" is gear-up/flaps-up/shut-up. He tells me I have to endure it for 2 1/2 more years, until he retires (again) at 70. (finger point to side of my head.... pull trigger....)

--People who chew with their mouths open...nothing worse than listening to someone smack their food. Apparently, it's a common trend among pilots!

--People walking back the aisle of a plane, with no care about what they, or their bags, hit!

--People who put their bags in the overhead compartment at the front of the plane, then go to their seats in the back!

--People waiting to get aboard an airport tram or elevator, who stand right in front of the door (mostly likely staring right at a sign that says not to do that.)!
I usually make it a point to bump them with my bag...my little victory.

--People who, when loading a bus, get on and fill from the front...then complain about how long it's taking. If you would just fill from the back forward, it would go much quicker!

--People who, when they see a lane is about to close...with no apparent regard to everyone else merging right there, speed all the way to the front and expect to be let it. This again slows the whole process down...but hey, they got theirs! Nothing makes me happier than to see a truck driver pull over and block the lane to stop this...glorious!

--People who use the left lane (on a highway) as a cruising lane. It's a passing lane, move over!

--People who have a bluetooth in their ear...even when not talking! You look ridiculous! (I know it's been mentioned but it needs to be said again!!!)

--The guy, who when he gets drunk wants to fight! Dude, high school is over...move on!

--The guy, at work, who isn't happy until you're not happy...you make work suck more!

--Anti-Gun people

--Hippies

--Lady Gaga...we get it, you need attention!

This is great, I feel better already! Awesome thread!

airport noise - pa announcements (esp while on phone or talking to someone)

airplane noise - pa announcements (esp at 6am commutes)

fas who leave the cabin lights on - on said 6am commutes

politics (rest rules, nobody agreeing on anything ever)

  • People
  • Lack of the ability to escape it all
  • City life
  • Beautiful people. I need people down at my level of looks so I dont feel ugly as soon as I wake up.

Automated phone systems that pretend to be able to understand phrases. Like when you are calling because your debit card is cracked and you need a new one, and the phone system ask you to "state the nature of your request, for example you could say 'check my balance', or 'order checks'..." and I say "replace debit card" and get "I think you said 'apply for a credit card', is this correct?"
"No, close my account."
"I think you said 'check my balance', is this correct?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Please say the nature of your request. For example, you could say 'check my balance', or 'order checks'..."

and so on.

People who are not courteous. If you bump into someone, block their way, or otherwise impinge on others activities, apologize for it.
