Salespeople who don't have the slightest bit of common sense.
If I walk into a store with headphones on, and the music is loud enough to hear it five feet away, why ask me a question?
My usual response is, "Do you see the headphones? Do you hear the music? It means that not only can't I hear you, I don't want to hear you. Now, be a good little asswipe, toddle off and play in traffic."

I'd like to make a comment on behalf of all the other salespeople here.

Not all of us are stupid, even if we do work in retail.

Thankyou for your time.

Reminds me of another one: Customers who conduct an entire transaction with a retail salesperson, while talking on a cell phone or with loud headphones on. :p Sure, we are more than happy to take your money...but we are not vending machines!

I don't serve those customers. Just give the next person in line a nod.

My defense? If they're on the phone, how're they going to conduct a speedy transaction with their hands full?

Year before last I had a trick-or-treater who was on her cellphone the whole time and just opened her pillowcase for me to drop the goodies in. I refused to give her candy and she got all huffy and said "but it's my sister!" Oh, that's OK then.

(I refused one smoking too, but other than that I give them all candy -even the adults not in costume. If you're that desperate for candy, have at it....)

People who say "people that" instead of "people who" or any other combination such as "a girl that..." instead of "a girl who..."

People are whos and things are thats.:p

People who use "how are you?" as a greeting and then act confused when you answer their question.

Do they? I must bug the hell out of them then, I've always answered it as a genuine question!

Today I am mostly being annoyed by my own lunch. Or my own inability to make it, I'm not sure.

I tried to make myself California style sushi rolls today. No, I didn't need to look up a how-to site, it was obvious how to make them! Bamboo mat to roll them on? No, of course I didn't need one - I'd do it at my desk!

I had hoped that once I'd gone to the trouble of cooking the rice - 20 mins, opening the tuna & mixing with horseradish (no wasabi in town) - 5 mins, and then assembling - 5 mins, I'd be popping perfect little rounds into my mouth as I carried on working.

OH NO. Sushi wanted to play unwinding games...
So I ended up shovelling it in with a fork and chasing stray grains all over my desk like an anteater...
I might as well have eaten it all separately, would have been less time & effort.

I don't like it when my food misbehaves. Like when crackers & crispbreads snap in my hands and shed their precious cargo on my desk, or pizza topping slides off in one go and flaps burningly on my chin, or soup gives me hiccups. I feel it breaks some fundemental contract.

I disapprove of misbehaving foodstuffs as well. Where can one go to get a nice, polite slice of pizza?
