he makes those sounds too, just one of the 789 reasons why I want to murder, death, kill him.
the whole telephone process is very painful with most people, since most people really can't just say what they want and have to think with their tounges for some reason.
- GonzoStyle - 02-22-2007
Actually one of the things I hate the most is the lack of preparedness that most people display on a daily basis. Several instances this week have happened that just baffle me.
#1 is the whole phone thing, whenever I call I always have a reason to do so and just say who, what, where, why, etc. If you're calling the phone company or whoever, you should have your account stuff in hand and prepared. I cant stand people who call about their homes and dont even have the address, or know where the hell its located.
#2 I had my car inspected, so I ended up taking the bus to work yesterday and I had my change all ready for the fare. As soon as the bus pulled up, I had every quarter, dime and nickel accounted for and prepared to be dropped into the slot. The fuckin 4 other mooks who get on are like the keystone cops. 2 of them were digging into their wallets for at least 2-3 minutes looking for their metrocards, one broad was walking around like a panhandler asking everyone for 2 bucks in change and one guy was looking for a transfer he never had and got kicked off.
#3 Same deal as the bus but this one is kinda worse, the people at the supermarket who spend 10 minutes on line and when the total comes up, have nothing in their hands. Motherfucker, you just spent 10 minutes on line, how about at least having your wallet out? If you're paying by card, have the card out. If you wanna give exact change, have your change out already. You can follow along with the price total instead of digging around looking for your money for an extra 2 minutes. This is why the lines take forever and I was on the express line too, which was even worse.
There are a bunch more examples but it's just the overall idea of be fuckin prepared and stop wasting everyones time.

Yeah!
Yesterday I was in line at a drug store. The woman in front of me took forever to pay while searching for money, putting money back in her wallet, putting the wallet in a certain compartment of her handbag, zipping up her bag (very slowly). The whole time she was doing this, she's blocking the counter so I couldn't put my things down. The cashier was standing there watching and waiting for her to move too. Then we both look at each other with a "knowing" look that says this woman should be dragged outside and shot.

Then you got up and paid for 79 cents worth of cat food with a check.

I hate people on escaltors. Escaltors are proof that human beings have the ability to evolve with really annoying bad habits, one of them being, if I don't have to move and can still achieve my end goal, I won't move. For one, the escaltor was designed with the intent to accelerate people. The entire history of man is defined subtlely with man's societal evolution built upon the idea of getting things to move faster, to acheive speed; militaries, food distribution, information are three basic threads of human society which instigated major change by attaining more speed. Malls and centers for public collection activate on a principal of speed at which a user can negotiate a multi-level environment while consuming what is in their immediate area. Escaltors increased how fast a person can get to one level to another, if they continue walking.
The stupidity of people kicks in because instinctively love a free ride. If someone was to offer to give you a piggy back ride down the street, or carry you in their arms, rather than walk down the street yourself, you would take the piggy back ride, because it conserves your energy while achieving the same goal. Thus, when people get on escaltors, they immediatly stop moving, and let the machine take over for a bit.
I hate this. I, for one, am a male, and when I shop, I want to waste as little time as possible; I speed shop. I have an idea of what I want to get, I am aware of the shortest path to my points of interest, and I want constant motion. So, when I get to the escalator, I want to walk up that thing and use half the time it would normally take to negotiate a 12 to 18 riser stair. No one else in the world seems to have the same desire. People lean, they take up the entire path, two people stand next to each other, people start making out, children sit down, black people show up.
I understand that maybe you've been walking for hours, and this is the first escalator you're on, and you want to stop for a second and find a piece of gum. Do it. Stand to the right, tho. People need to start thinking of the escalator as a highway. Slow lane to the right, fast lane to the left. Let passing people by.
And if you don't, I will stampede you. I do not want to stop. I will tell you to move, and I will keep moving.
I hate escalators.

The moving floor leading from the bally's self-park garage and The Virginia City Casino in AC can be a magical place if you hit it the right time though...like last time when a person dropped a jar of coins while riding the thing and had to hurry and pick up her coins before she got to the end and either lost them or got her hand caught.

ACK !! I get that from a friend of mine every time it's on. I tell her I don't watch and she still asks every single time.
