[zuben el genub]

People who make right turns! GRRRRRRRR!

People who on the interstate. Who looks like they are going to pass you fast. Then when you need pass there is the Idiot doing your speed and at your rear quarter panel. Then you have to slow down. When you get behind them then they speed off.

You what grinds my gears? People that get into the carpool lane with just themfreakinselves!!! I mean where the hell are the damn cops when that is goin on. Sure but they are there to see you run a yellow light! Anyways, this has been a moment of what grinds my gears.....

One of my coworkers got busted for being in a carpool lane all on her lonesome. She pulled over for the cop, and also got busted for going over the double yellow to get out of the carpool lane. Needless to say, she won't be using that lane alone again.

That said, understand that here in Utah, you can purchase a permit that allows single drivers to use the carpool lanes. So some of us use the lane legally. Just sayin'

Do you need to place a sticker of some sort on your car? Otherwise that seems kinda silly. How would an officer of the law know if you are legit or not? I know in CA there are stickers provided for low emissions vehicles. They go on the left, right, and center of the bumper. They are so gaudy that most people would rather not use them, I think.

It is called "Express Pass" and you use a little transponder.

USPS lost the item that I sent to a buyer. She received an opened envelope with nothing inside. Bad USPS. Lost item claim filed and hoping for the best!

Carl's Jr . . . I say "This is a to-go order" or "this order is to go" and the last thing they ask me is "Is this to stay or to go?"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

 

[Tommy78]

That actually reminds me, at the McDonalds drive through I order just one Big Mac, they then proceed to badger me to death and try to sell me several other items I never asked for. "Would you like some fries with that?". "Would you like something to drink?". "Can we offer you a hot apple pie?" Eh, no, if I wanted anything else I would have asked for it, thanks though.

Sluming at the carl Jr ain't we Mr Howell.

 

[Vihzel]

Idiot buyers who accuse me of fraud for not shipping an item even though they received confirmation that the item was damaged or unsealed during transit.

 

[Member243850]

Gringos!!

Gringos they grind my gears!!!

ARRRGHH!!

Criminal scum!

Nope, Bob rather enjoys Carl and his burger joint. It would be better if it was drive-in with real malts, good fries, and double-cheese burgers like those at the old school A&W.

Oh, and most important, car hops on skates, with tight sweaters, and legs to die for. Also, a classic car night where real cars that burn real gas, with whitewall tires and big engines are given preferential treatment as God intended.

American cars only, please.

By the way, I do not mean Carl in a sweater, that is just silly.

So the cop has to scan your car if he only sees one person in it?

Not sure... never saw a cop or thought much about the process. All I know is we have never been pulled over, just glared at by those stuck in the slow lane, breathing fumes.

HAHA I see. That's pretty cool. I figured it worked something like those passes for toll bridges that I had seen in IL. But those you actually have to drive by a reader device. Don't think they have anything cool like that in CA, but they should!

Anyway, suppose I should actually contribute to the thread.

Every time I get a phone call for people booking an appointment I ask if they know where we're. The almost all always say yes. Then I get the phone call asking where we are located minutes before their appointment.

What about being sent an email and then having the person come to your cubicle 4 seconds later, asking if you got the email and then telling you what was in the email?

LOL when I am visiting home my mom does that. She LOVES forwarding pics. She sends me the pics, hears the notification on my phone, and asks me if I got the pics, all the while telling me to come look on her computer -_-

 

[ElasticNinja]

You know what grinds my gears? those stupid ass vampire movies... Since twighlight has been out. Everyone and their damn mother has been cashing in on these ******ed prettyboy vampire movies and tv shows that the vampire genre has been turned to shait. Remember the original lostboys? Or that one movie with james woods? Oyeah! Vampyres... People have forgotten what true vampirism is about. Not these sorry ken and barbie vampire movies....anyways, that's what grinds my gears....
