What's Your Beef?

People editing my essay for class and telling me I used a word wrong. Use a damn dictionary fool! I DID!
People driving 15 under the limit on a two lane road that never look in the mirror and notice the 25 cars hung up behind them. Ooh, I just love Georgia country roads!
Dry heat inside (and cold and wind outside) making my nose bleed multiple times a day
SAMEEEEE. i live in new england, soo cold and sooo dry inside. it sucks, i feel your pain.
oh and while i'm here i'd like to say my beef is that every time i have a 2 hour driving appointment with drivers ed something goes wrong, either a car breaks down and my appt is canceled, the weather is bad so its canceled, i get sick so i cancel, or i show up ON TIME and the drivers ed worker is LATE therefore i don't get my full two hours that i'm supposed to.
to date i should have 11 of 12 hours done, but no..i have 5.5 hours out of 12 hours done..ohh the joy of a corrupt company. i want my license so this is over.
I'm normally a very patient & understanding person but I have my share of hot buttons:
- Hazard Lights: They are meant to be used when your car is unable to move, unsafe to drive and to alert other cars. They are NOT a free pass to park anywhere you please, regardless of how long you intend to leave your car ILLEGALLY parked.
- Bratty kids: Yes parents, your kids are your little darlings and are SO CUTE! To everyone else, they are annoying little sh*ts. Other than parks, it is NOT OK to let your little ones run around, screaming and ruin everyone else's right to peace and quiet. You can't find a babysitter? Not my problem!
- Everyone on the road: When I change lanes to pass you, it means you are driving to slow. This is NOT your sign to try to keep up with me. Oh, and if your exit is coming up, wouldn't it be a good idea to have moved over 30 seconds ago rather than cut across four lanes to exit?
- WalMart: Everything.

1) Woman at work rings our section, but has the wrong number- she needs someone else completely. We give her the right number. Should be end of discussion, right? Phone rings again 30 seconds later.
'I spoke to the section for the number you gave but they don't deal with this case.'
NEITHER DO WE!!! WE HAVEN'T CHANGED OUR WORK-SPLIT IN THE LAST 30 SECONDS SINCE YOU LAST RANG. WHY NOT GET ANOTHER NUMBER OFF THE OTHER SECTION? WHY RING US BACK AGAIN?! IT'S STILL WRONG!
2) Drivers at night who park/wait on the wrong side of the road but don't use their sidelights. Yeah, thanks for dazzling me- retinas are ten-a-penny these days.
3) People who ask for help, you offer to show them the simple way of doing it themselves and they say something like 'Aw, no- you know me. I don't DO technology.' If I had a pair I'd say
'Aw, no- you know me. I don't HELP ignorant gits.'
I feel better for that. Cheers

Sounds like a little bitch and just bugs me to NO END!

-12/e^4x rofl... But business majors shouldn't know math; the current economy should be reason enough.
when I say I am a prince why does everyone think I am a 419 scammer.
I guess that depends on the speed of traffic at the time. 40mph when everyone is stopped bumper to bumper would indeed be very rude.
Or the morons who see your turn signal then park their butts strategically so you can't change lanes, then when they finally pass, they decide they wanted your lane in the first place. The tiniest tap on the brakes would have meant we each get the lane we want, but that would have meant a scintilla of common courtesy, which unfortunately isn't available at this exit on Maryland interstates.

A sirloin steak, which I am about to put in the microwave to lightly zap as I can't wait for it to defrost by itself.
People who sit in the middle/outside lane when the left hand lane is empty. Typically doing 75 and holding up everyone else.
People who walk too slowly.

People who answer questions I did not ask.
Me: "What were you doing right before the computer locked up?"
Duh: "Well, I was on my way to work, and stopped at Starbucks because I needed coffee to have at my desk, and I was running late, so I took the stairs instead of the elevator, because I didn't want to wait, so I was all winded when I can in, and then I remembered I forgot something in my car, and I knew I was going to need it, so I sat everything down on my desk, and I was in a hurry, took the stairs back down to the parking lot and got my stuff from my car, then I waited for the elevator this time because I was already all tired and stuff, then I got back to my desk and I don't know, something must have happened while I was gone because my fresh cup of Chai Latte had somehow leaked or spilled because I know I sat it down right where I usually do and it never spills and I don't know what happened..."
Me, finally interrupting: "So you spilled your coffee on your computer??!"
Duh: "It wasn't coffee, it was Chai Latte, I don't like coffee so much, especially Starbucks coffee, it tastes kinda burned to me, so I always get one of their teas, which is good because they support the rainforest and farmers who otherwise would cut down all the trees and..."
Me: "AAUURGH! Enough, I get it. Move. "
Yeah. That burns my butt faster than 3 foot tall flames would.

People who clean a greasy stove with a wet sponge.
Yeah, yeah, I know, but at least he was cooking, right?

students who think that deadlines and deliverables requirements are up for interpretation, and then like to act stupid in the hopes I will let them get away with it.

The domain controller acting stupid making me restart my awesome Dell computer every day. Then, waiting for 5 minutes for my awesome Dell computer to restart and let me do my work.
"You know what really grinds my gears"-Peter Griffon Lack of customer service. I just can't stand anymore that I go into a place to spend money and all I get are ppl who either don't know the job or just don't care.. You want to take a job just for the money, fine. But at least be fake that you like your job enough not to give the customers who afford you that job the sense that they just don't matter.
