Topic: Shit that pisses you off

Posted under Off Topic

I think the title is self explanatory. Let me explain. My mother and I went to WalMart today. We had an experience that pissed me off so much, I'm still upset about it. We were at one of those self checkouts and my mother was trying to purchase a bottle of wine. The attendant came over and said that I needed to show my ID, even though I wasn't purchasing the wine. I took my wallet out and showed my ID. My expression could only be described as "fuck you." When my mother confronted the attendant, she basically accused my mother of allowing me to drink alcohol. When I asked to see her supervisor, she made a remark under her breath and proceeded not to get her supervisor. She also made the choice to take our cart when we had a bunch of stuff to carry. Truly appalling, dare I say, barbaric customer service. Not once have I ever experienced this kind of stupidity from an employee.

I had something similar to yours happen to me JoeX.. except mine was at a safeway and by myself the self check-out attendant accused me being underage since I look so young outward appearance wise and threatened to call the cops on me and when I showed my drivers license he it was a dude BTW and he got MORE PISSED since my license was from TEXAS and not WASHINGTON and he accused me of forging an out of state license to throw them off they called the police they investigated my license and when it came out real they left same with me with my Fosters and a bit of homicidal rage as well...

Jesus, that's just sad. According to the Walmart attendant, it's store policy. The Internet's confirmed it, but the attendant still could have acted like less of a cunt.

yeah that made me get my first Washington drivers license purely to keep this thing from happening again....

In Utah, beer can only have an alcohol content up to 3.2% by volume. We call it pisswater.

Had that happen a few times due to having a Florida id while living in Connecticut. Including two cases where ive been accused of forgery, cuz I look 16. Had the same happen when my mother tried to by a winecooler 6 pack for a party. She was having with some co workers. The fucker accused her of buying it for me, then when she got proof of my id being ok, accuse of forgery, when the cops proved it was valid, she had the manager ban me from the store for using a fake id and buying alcohol and my mom for supplying a minor with alcohol. Even tried to get my mom arrested. Needless to say fucker gotnfired after we whent to a new station about it, and took them to court.. e.e people are jackassholes.

yeah... we had people including two family's behind us whispering and saying how "that woman(mum) is such a horrible person and should be thrown in jail for trying to get that young girl(me) drunk" I nearly lost it right then and there, considered grabbing the cooler pack and 'accidentally' dropping it. Oopsie, my bad got butter fingers. Too bad you cant charge me since I never managed to ring it up. Snerks.

Btw, one of the family's had young young kids, like 6-10 year old's. Daddy bought beer, showed the id, mommie showed id, kids? Never where asked. Fucking......De-scrimination!

People really care that much about selling alcohol there? I've been buying it here since the age of 15 without ID. It's not that I look old or anything, just nobody gives a fuck here.

People who stop on a highway ramp entrance instead of getting up to speed and merging.

Not only does it make me angry but I drive a small beater of a car and I need most of the ramp to get up to 65, and its a bit terrifying trying to merge when all you have is 10 feet to accelerate.

Same for me, even though ID requests at the checkout have become significantly more frequent since. Still, buying and drinking alcohol is legal from age 16 (18 for heavy distilled stuff).

I still don't really get why a government would entrust people with the responsibility that comes with operating a 3500 lbs piece of motorized metal while they're still (dumbshit) mid-teens, yet at the same time, buying a lousy beer is a big no-no all the way until 21. Talk about priorities.

And yeah, driving does require a license, but from what I've heard about the examination system in the US, you get rewarded with one practically for being able to move around a parking lot without crashing. That's just the word on the street though, and note that I'm exaggerating a bit.

Utah, specifically Salt Lake City, are Mormon communities. They seriously frown on alcohol sales, at all.

You can die for your country at 16, but can't drink until you're 21.

Also, that's a fair approximation of the license approval system.

So very much this!

I was on a flight where they had just instituted the in-flight wi-fi. I didn't even know that they were providing it until we were told during the flight.

About 15 minutes later the wi-fi went down and flight crew apologized that there were still bugs they were working out of the new system.

Guy across the isle starts going on about how they need to "fix this shit," "I paid for this flight and I expect to get all the services I paid for," etc.

This was the same guy who'd himself made a comment about not realizing it was a service they offered when it was announced. 15 minutes after finding out it even existed he felt entitled.

The "gimme, gimme, gimme" mentality (anywhere, but especially in US) just bugs the crap out of me.

Wasting my time dealing with idiots:

a. The administration from my university. Though, perhaps most of my problems were created and perpetuated by my incompetent (yes, really) program coordinator.

b. Spending a large chunk of time typing or explaining something only to have my recipient fail/ignore me at step 0, the "I wasn't serious in my convictions" step.

c. Similar to b, asking for my help/advice but completely ignoring what I have to say when my response doesn't reinforce what is already believed or planned! It's even worse when the other party actually acknowledges me as "the expert."

My entitled classmates who cheated on every CCNA test possible, yet I scored better than all of them by a small margin (literally a lack of diligence/effort on their part). I've mentioned this before. Also, Cisco for their very cheatable tests with fudged wording that deviates some meanings beyond their textbooks' explanations. And, while I loved the technical detail, Cisco's textbooks were ridiculously pedantic and repetitive, of which transcribing for 4-8 hours each night for 3 months was unfathomably soul-crushing.

Large hypocrisy between espoused values and enacted behaviors. I know very well that people will naturally contradict themselves, but some gaps are just too big to cross without incensing me, even when I'm a neutral observer.

That time I got called a troll by a self-righteous troll who didn't realize he was being a troll.

On the topic of getting ID'd, sure. Somehow my appearance predisposes me to getting ID'd. It's a bit worse for me because I haven't actually had a valid driver's license in a while, and I would rather not bring my passport with me unless I'm crossing the border. But my experiences don't compare to the horror stories mentioned in this thread... How is it I always get ID'd yet my friend did not those times at the liquor mart when we're less than a year apart and both of us fit closely into the same demographics???

Oh, here's another one. People that drive like assholes but are completely and utterly oblivious to their idiocy. Today, my mom's engine cut out while sitting at a stop light. My mom started her engine, which made an obvious startup noise. The woman behind us was apparently deaf, because she honked her horn. Then, some asshole made a remark as he drove by. When we turned, the woman who honked at us clearly had her window rolled down. There was absolutely no excuse for her not to hear my mom's car starting. I guess today was the day she decided to be bitch.

About a week or so ago, my mom and I were sitting in traffic. They've just passed a law in Illinois where it's against the law to use a cellphone unless it's hands-free, meaning using Bluetooth or other devices. This young man, probably in his 20s was sitting there texting at the wheel of his little two-seater sports car. I've seen so many people breaking this law.

People who drive right behind semi trucks. Do you have a death wish? It's not like a 100+ ton truck has the stopping ability of an Italian sports car. If that trucker slams on his brakes at 70 miles per hour, there's a pretty good chance that you're going to be lacking a head. Literally.

But if he will need more time than you to lower his speed, then what's the problem exactly? I'd worry more if he were behind you. Not that I like driving behind them, you can't see a thing and disregarding what I said there's always some danger to it. You can't zone out.

There's a plus side, though: with their mass they create a slipstream zone of sorts, with drastically lowered air resistance. Sticking behind one for a while does wonders for your fuel mileage. Might explain why some people appear to do it on purpose.

<3 my Miata, driving that thing with a stick is a blast. And that's a modest little fourbanger that will stall if you screw up, but something with an engine that actually produces some low-end torque is really easy to handle. Least if the clutch doesn't suck.

Also, wind.

I think the correct translation would be "I'm to cool/chill for you" and yeah, "usted" is very formal, the informal "you" word (also known as "tutear" or "hablar al tu por tu" - literally "speaking peronally/one on one") would be "tu" or in this case "ti", resulting in "Soy muy fresco para ti"
