Things that tick you off. [View all]

Been hearing this from friends. Encountered myself this morning.

Going through the self service line at the grocery. Over eager clerk that insists on ringing up your items. Taking twice as long as you would, not putting your customer appreciation card in that gives you discounts. I had to step around her. Even then she told me how to do it.

Am I the only one here?
