^^^
telemarketers are the worst.

one from my credit card company called just the other night and went on the tangent about some security feature that 7.99/month - he talked so fast and then all I heard was him say "I just need you to say yes"

I said the following: "hell no...I don't know what you're talking about, you're barely speaking audible English and frankly, I don't feel like discussing my credit card right now...it's kind of a sore subject."

he said: "thank sir...have a good night"

bitch was owned.

i don't have patience for people ordering food when they don't know what they want. guess what? you don't know what the fukc you're doing. step off.

people who write checks under any circumstance except paying bills. what the hell do you think this is, 1990? use your goddamn check card. it takes 7 seconds and doesn't make the people behind irate.

there are 1000's more.
I LIKE you!

I've told cashiers a million times, "if you charged these old idiots $1, for writing a PAPER check, they'd learn to use a check card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And I'm with 10000% on the 9 miles OVER the limit. Get the HELL outta the way(especially in the passing lane!).

haha, no joke. unfortunately, there's nothing the cashiers can do, so i try not to say **** to them, unless it's in a conspiratorial way, like, "can you believe what a douchebag that dude was?"

oh hell yeah. i've gotten to the point that i am a shameless tailgater, and i don't even care anymore. if you're not going to go 9 over, get in the right lane.

another thing i have no patience for as a passenger (my mother does this): she gets behind someone in the right lane who's going, say, 52, and bitches about it for 5 miles even though there's no one in the passing land. that's what it's THERE for!

I've become, in the past five years, quite possibly the angriest driver in the U.S.
If there's a string of traffic behind you....for god's sake, I beg of you, with my dying fukcing breath, "pull the fukc over" Please Geezus, "pull the fukc over"!

Humans seem to miss the logic of the passing lane. How dumb are they?

Ah, that's better!




Why is it, that every single checkout line, seems to get stuck?




Why do I hate waiting, so much?

reeaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly????

o.k. in my defense-I write checks because I have bad record keeping skills. I use my debit card and pretty soon, I start getting letters from the bank. I can NEVER keep track of it I tell myself every time I will-I never do. Then I spend 2 hours balancing my checkbook via the my phone and trying to figure out where "withdrawal....in the amount of....15 dollars....seventy-five....cents" came from I realize this isn't other people's problem-but I usually write my check out before they ask for the total. So it takes just as much time

also-I have duplicate checks because of this..hahaha
I used to be SO good. Now I don't pay attention I need to work on that

See, you? Are a courteous check writer. You know who to make it out to & you know how to sign your name, so you do it ahead of time, perhaps while the cashier is still ringing up your purchases. Problem is, most others aren't like you. Apparently they think they'll be arrested if they try to fill out any portion of the check before the cashier tells them the total. Oh, and they never have their ID ready either.

Online banking is the best thing since sliced bread. I look at my account, every day, to view any activity. And believe me, I've found a bunch of ****- for example, bad checks that people have written me- that I've deposited. It would've taken SEVERAL DAYS longer, for me to find out through the mail. This way, I can start hounding them immediately!
