People waiting until their grocery order has been completely rung up before they begin to look for their checkbook. Usually the book is at the bottom of a bag large enough to carry a week's clothing, then they hunt for the pen, oh...then they have to balance the last few entries to make sure they have enough money, and finally, with great care and expert penmanship begin the seemingly never ending exercise of writing the check.
After presenting said check, THEN they hunt for their identification.
And finally all of these items must be carefully placed again at the very bottom of the enormous handbag.
Yep, that's my favorite peeve.

People who keep saying Christmas is only for kids.As if all the work and cleaning,baking,cooking and buying,wrapping gifts and putting up with nonsense from family has no value.I am not a "kid" anymore so I should not be excited,happy,overworked and peacekeeper and just let Christmas pass me by like any other hard day I have? Yes I find few faults with people mostly but this has just for some reason this year makes me MAD.

Yes: if two or more people stop to talk in a corridor or pathway they will either
(a) choose a place where the corridor/pathway is narrowed by an obstacle (a wastebasket or something), or
(b) stand facing one another across the width of the corridor/pathway,
And then they will be so engrossed in their conversation that they don't realize they are blocking everyone's path!

ppl who use cell phones inappropriotely. go out with you and have phone conversations (referring to my mom doing this) at restaurant tables, movie theaters, ect. ppl who are in the stores taking up the aisle and having a conversation, standing behind you in a checkout line on the phone, sitting a a newly green traffic light finishing a text message...

A dirty bathroom sink, and people that will pull out in front of you at a intersection or pull out of their driveway and go 35mph when the speed limit is 55.

In shopping, I really, really hate when women shopping for themselves feel the need to bring ALL their children with them who start whining, crying, running around the displays, bothering others, b/c they're bored, hungry, tired etc. and then mom ignores it all or scream at them LADIES PLS LEAVE 'EM HOME!!
Store cashiers too busy talking on their cell phones, flirting with the stock guy, chatting up their social life with a co-worker.to take care of you...HEY THERE--I'M THE CUSTOMER WHO KEEPS YOU IN A JOB!!!
And ppl who use the word 'people' to say:
"He's good people." instead of "a good person" ARRGGGHH!
P.S. Happy Holidays to ALL!

Yeah disabled drivers who think that it's ok to park anywhere they like and cause road blocks. if you are so disabled you can't walk an extra ten feet and park somewhere safely then you shouldn't be driving.
