kamomilMeh.... I'm not going to tag people, but 6 of you should do this:
List 3 things that bug you - things that others may find trivial. Then tag 6 of your friends. Only list 3 things because you may/can be tagged again.
1. When people try to bargain in a store, or when they take great pleasure in writing off expenses for a business that aren't related to the business.
2. When people wheel the shopping cart home with them from the grocery store and leave it in random places around my apartment building. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bloobert will remember that one!!!!) Sometimes these shopping carts have come from stores very far away. They are not homing pigeons, they don't go home by themselves. They need help.
3. When people write "everyday" when they should write "every day." "Everyday" describes something specific, it's a pronoun, like "everyday clothes" whereas "every day" is like "I go there every day." "Runaway" is like that too. A "runaway train," but a dog hasn't "runaway," it has "run away," "away" is an adverb. People do this all the time at work and it drives me mental, and doesn't seem to be in the journalism style guide.

Date: 2005-09-05 12:04 pm (UTC)mine are kinda work related...
1. people who say yes when you ask them if they want a hand packing their bag and then when you've done who then proceed to unpack it all and do it again....bastards why don't you just do it for yourself??? and not waste my time???!!
2. people who insist on putting their card in the chip and pin machine themselves even you ask them not to, cos they put it in at the wrong time and crash the fucking till!!! - another related issue is those who are overly protective of their pin and take the handset about a mile away from the till to type their pin in...I mean as if I am gonna steal your pin...I don't like being not trusted/treated like a thief!!
3. People that don't say hi back when I say it in a perfectly cheerful/happy voice and am trying to be nice...what would it take?? its only manners!!!
