I hate it when....

[Kilgore Trout]

I hate those zippy little cars which pull into my lane leaving few feet between us.
I can't break as quickly as they think...not with a loaded trailer.

Oh, is that you I'm always cutting in front of?

Oh, is that you I'm always cutting in front of?

I don't know.
Is the driver a well dressed & devilishly handsome gentleman in a shiny truck?
If so, then no.

Don't ya hate it when a little romantic escapade involves the cops?
German man rescued after three-day 'autoerotic' ordeal - Telegraph

German police have rescued a man who was trapped in handcuffs for three days after an "autoerotic accident".

A neighbour concerned about the whereabouts of the 57-year-old man contacted the authorities late on Tuesday, police said.

When the officers arrived at the home in Munich's upscale Schwabing district and rang the bell, there was no answer and three days' newspapers were lying in front of the door.

Through the mail slot, they saw a light was on in the flat and could hear "a faint, woozy murmur".

They broke open the door to find the man lying semi-conscious on the floor of his kitchen wearing underwear and women's boots, and restrained in handcuffs.

don't you just hate it when you meet someone who seems really clever or charming so you give them your number and they turn out to be an obnoxious serial/texter who is to dim to pick up on your subtle hints such as "F off loser!"

While the garden sprinkler name for it is funny, I too hate it when that happens, mostly when it happens and I end up spitting on people. It's one of the few things that can embarrass me.

I tell people that it's because I was a snake in my past life and I can't help it.

I hate it when I am typing and my fingers keep hit two keys at once. I have to slow down.

I hate it when you're tired and you end up trying to type the same word three times with no success.

I also hate the way your luggage sometimes gets snarled up on conveyor belts at airports. I've found, even, that some more modern baggage comes with a special 'quick release' mechanism designed to spring your luggage open at this point and fling your clothes everywhere.

I hate it when I try to read and people start talking to me about nothing and I keep reading the same paragraph over and over.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I really hate it when people two people, in two different cars, block a road so they can talk to each other and ignore my honks that I need to get through.
And I hate it when one of those drivers, who finally got the idea they need to move, yells at me as if I was the one who was being rude and the one inconveniencing them.

I hate it when I pull into a station to buy gas, & the pumps are all occupied...many
of them by people who went inside to buy snacks, & just parked at the pumps.

 

[Thief]

I hate it when the boss man says.....we've been doing this way for years!
as if to justify the effort.

So when things go bad .....is it still a badge of skill and technique?

wow...I didn't expect that from Americans. It never happened to me

Me too. When I worked at a gas station, I hated it when someone with a larger camper or RV would pull in when we were busy, and pull up to the first row of pumps, which made it so the rest of the lot could not be seen meaning one of the two employees working would have to go outside to watch for drive offs. I also hated it when people wouldn't watch the pump, and would expect money back or refuse to pay for any gas that spilled outside of their car because they weren't watching it like every "Do not leave pump unattended, we are not responsible for spills" sign posted at every pump said.

I hate it when I call someone for the sake of business.....
I get a robot.

Oh sure....they're fairly good at some things.....BUT!

The list of menu is always too long and short the one item I need.
THEN if I don't pick something the damn thing hangs up!

 

[Mycroft]

I hate that sort of alarm that seems to be designed so that it can ring at full volume in the street without apparently disturbing anyone. I've discovered that some of these are burglar alarms fitted to business premises in residential areas, which go off as a matter of regular routine at 5.31 p.m. on a Friday evening and do not get turned off til 9.20 a.m. on Monday morning.

I also hate those hideous wooden ornaments people buy for you to prove that they've been to Africa.

I love it when women wear that stuff. At least men realize how uncool they are and won't look at them.
Less rivals around.

This is a 'hood favorite....along with walking down the middle of a street that has sidewalks or crossing one as slow as possible

 

[4consideration]

I hate it when trying to resolve an issue with a business or governmental entity and you attempt to take the "convenient and recommended option" of submitting the issue online, only to receive no reply, or a standard reply about issues that are not the problem, and does not in any way address the matter that you have already explained, with a suggestion to call a number if the reply doesn't resolve it for you.

Then, you call the suggested number, and have to sit through a long message that most things can be handled online, so it's best to try that first... or chose one of the automated options (none of which apply.)

We don't even have a hood and it happens here. In my post about the blocked roads, what makes it even more aggravating, it was a four way stop, out in the middle of the country, and they were both stopped next to a church they could have pulled into it, instead of being stopped in the road lollygagging and obstructing others from getting through.

 

[Mycroft]

I hate it when someone asks you a question with the apparent motive of wanting to hear your answer, but who cuts short your opening sentence by leaning forward and saying 'and I'll tell you why I ask...' and then talking solidly for the next hour.

I also hate that shapeless squiggle which is utterly unlike your normal signature, but which is, nevertheless, all you are able to produce when asked formally to identify yourself.

 

[Viker]

I hate it when I'm driving or riding a bike that other people have the audacity to want to be sharing the road with me.
