My big annoyance is those little old ladies who either pay in one dollar bills or who insist on writing a check.

That's why I like to use the self-checkout lanes when I only have a few items, and nothing that needs clerk intervention. The little old ladies are too scared to use that new-fangled technology!

But, I will confess, when it was just before payday, I'd use the self-check to buy a six-pack of beer with saved pocket change, late at night. That way, I didn't look so darned desperate!

My favorite is the person who watches the clerk check out everything and THEN pulls out the checkbook and starts writing.

That old coot shops at my store, too.

But the phrase "...and then pulls out the checkbook..." gives her too much credit, IMO. Like it was some kind of swift and efficient move.

When I'm behind her, she always seems surprised that the clerk has finished checking her order and now, suddenly, it is her turn to participate! But she doesn't "pull out the checkbook"; she opens her purse and starts ~looking for~ the checkbook.

But the thing that really gets me the maddest...the old biddy will absolutely not hand over the check and fill out her stub while the clerk begins the next order. You know how she does!

And why have I abandoned the artfully gender-neutral phrasing of graceland's post? Because it is ~always~ wizened old BIDDIES who do this. (Of course that could be because they have already buried their husbands after nagging them to death or else, if still living, the husbands are only allowed pocket change anyway so couldn't pay for the groceries themselves.)

[Hee hee! That was fun. Ducking now.]

If she was poking through one of those plastic squeeze coins purses looking for the exact change, she got what she deserved.

people who use a bazillion coupons

Hey, using coupons can save you a lot of money (but I know it can be frustrating for the people behind you if you have a bunch).

You've never seen people get irritated until you look at someone behind me at the WalMart register while I'm working my 'price match guarantee'.

OMG! Do they have any evidence against him? I mean, other than the fact that you can just look at him and know. In his case, I don’t really think they need anything more than that.

“My own pet peeve is waiting in line behind people playing the lottery. They should have a special “morons only” line for the lottery players IMNSHO.”

That is true especially in little 711 convenience type stores. If you are in a hurry, it never fails - there is usually only one guy or gal behind the register and twelve different people who are trying to buy 25 different versions of lottery tickets with no consideration for those waiting behind them.

It makes you want to sit on the curb and just cry.

My son just told me they shouldn’t even need to bring that defendant into court. Just present his photo to the jury, and rest your case.

I use a “bazillion” coupons, but I offset that by bagging my own food.

You see a guy look at you like that, you gotta wonder if maybe he’s trying to track all those phosphorescent green spiders crawling on you that only he can see because the voices in his head are telling him to. What a pity the picture doesn’t go low enough so you can see the Kucinich For President button...

That’s why they don’t have shopping carts at 7-11s.

It’s not just the customers who block aisles. What I hate are all those point-of-purchase displays “artfully” arranged at an angle in each aisle, creating a one-lane meandering course along which shoppers must navigate. Arghh! Naturally they are most popular the night before a big food holiday like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or the Fourth of July.

This is your mugshot. This is your mugshot on drugs.

Excellent summary.
