I'm angry - who's with me?

When I make a Dr Who reference and people look at me like I'm a Zygon.

It makes me very angry!

Holy s#!+!!! nobody blink. Blink and you're dead!

When people put a Fender logo on a Ric.
Or a Ford logo on a Chevy (same thing).
Except for you, you can blink.
 
Anyone who is ahead of me and pays for ANYTHING with a CHECK!!! ***!?!?!?!?!

That happens to me in the Express lane.

I was at Kroger yesterday with 3 items, in the express lane.
A guy came up with a cart just literally filled with stuff. I'm guessing about 30 items or more.
The cashier actually told him to go to the next lane. I was shocked. Never seen that happen.
I congratulated her on a job well done & she said it pisses her off when people do that.
 
Right-of-way drives me nuts. If we get at the stop at the same time but I'm turning, you have the right of way. Don't #%$@ing wave me through like I'm the one doing it wrong.
I also get that if I'm backing out of a spot I have to differ to traffic, but if I'm moving and half way out of the spot that isn't an invitation to just whip behind me.

The whole "waving on" thing is often well intentioned but can be very dangerous. I work on a very busy strip with two way traffic spanning four lanes. Often times someone will be in the right lane and will wave for you to pull out, completely unaware of the fast moving traffic coming from behind in the left lane. I often just wave back or point toward the oncoming cars from behind and usually get the "sorry" look/shrug.

It makes me angry when I'm in the express lane with exactly 15 items and the cashier scolds me for having too many items. What- you're counting the eggs as 12 items now?

I had a lady do that to me on Thanksgiving day.
We were at a 4 way intersection, with a major highway going between us. She was on the opposite side & assumed I was going to turn right, but I was going straight.
She waved at me to go ahead & I pointed straight ahead. It couldn't have been more obvious that I was going straight, IMHO. My vehicle was aimed straight ahead.
 
Subway:

When the "sandwich artist" with the neck tattoo tries to anticipate which item you're going to add to your sub next by already having his hand in the cold tray. Before you can say what you want, they already have their hand in the shredded lettuce. That's when I ask for spinach! Ha!

Subway makes me angry and I almost always get the trots upon consumption.
 
People who waste my time. I'm talking about when you have a meeting or an appointment and the person finally waltzes in 30 minutes late like it's no big deal. I know stuff happnes and that's OK. This is the self-centered angels who just can't be bothered to get off their dead a$$ and get where they need to be when they need to be there.

I guess the cashiers around here are wimps, because yesterday was the first time I recall a cashier telling someone with too many items to use the next lane.
I was pretty livid about it a few months back when someone had about 40 items & then paid with a check.
Of course, they didn't get their checkbook & pen ready while the things were being rung up. Instead they waited until the total was presented & then started to fiddle around looking for the checkbook & a pen.
I wasn't in a very good mood already, so I actually said something & the cashier looked at me like I was the bad guy.

Someone already said it, "People suck!" and it's true. Some people are too stupid & too discourteous to breathe the same air as the rest of us.
