Things that make you irrationally angry

Sure I can always go back to the front of the store & grab another cart am usually too lazy to walk back up where the carts are located.
Lol.

I would say 80-85% of the time this happens to me at Walmart.
Rarely at Target.

That's because Target is high end.

Not so much angry, but more frustrated.

Example: Customer Service area. There are three clerks waiting on people. You are the next in line and there is no one behind you.

As you wait your turn, the line behind you grows to 6 or 7 people. It takes a very long time for one of the three clerks to finally free up and they call you up as next in line.

You go to that clerk and as soon as you go to the counter, they have some sort of issue (computer doesn't work and needs to be re-booted, they get interrupted by someone else, etc.) and you stand there for an interminable amount of time while they resolve it.

In the meantime, the other two clerks have finished up initial problem customers, and are now rapidly dealing with those who were behind you - until they all get served and go on their merry way. There is no longer any line.

Finally, your clerk is free and asks if they can help you.

Arrrgh!!

When you rent/reserve a car way in advance, and they don't have it so you end up with something either weird or huge.

What about individual lines rather than the single line feeding onto multiple staff. Here's looking at you border control into Canada. We seem to pick the line with the agent crossing every t and dotting every I, while cars in the lines either side are zooming through.

Welcome to Costco. I love you

Lazy is ordering pickup. Walk your lazy a$$ inside.

I don't mind walking around the store but the professional shoppers are so much more efficient than me and, if I don't go inside, I don't make silly whim purchases. Also, not PP but equally annoyed at those who use the pickup spaces. They are clearly marked.

I have been known to do a Target drive-up pickup and then run into the store for a couple of extra things, leaving my car in the pickup space. That said, Target has WAY too many spots designated for drive-up pickup.

^ Oh, I am so with you! I think it should become standard practice to have one single feeder line for everything. I've noticed many stores are doing this now even Walmarts. It still doesn't resolve what frequently happens to me, as identified above. It was a single feeder line, it's just I tend to get the cashier/assistant who is not actually READY yet they still call me forward, while those behind me get promptly served.

Ok, this happened to me yesterday, so it is fresh on my mind and made me irrationally mad.

A friend was making breakfast for us - scrambled eggs and toast. She insisted that toast tastes much better cooked in the frying pan instead of the toaster.

So she cooked the eggs and set them on a plate, then spent 5-6 minutes toasting bread in the frying pan while the eggs got cold.

When she served the cold eggs and pan-friend toast, I could only respond with gratitude, but inside I was seething.

So glad I found this post to vent about this breakfast transgression.

I’m so over this. This happened to me the other day at the post office (on tax day, I was mailing a check to irs) and as the person behind me was going to the free agent while I was standing stupidly waiting for the other free agent to fix her problem, I interjected with something like “excuse me I’ll step in here” and just took the spot. I think both the clerk and the other lady on line were surprised — I’m very small and unassuming.

Pp again I also did something similar at a diffeeent place where there were two clerks but one had gone to the back room. While she didn’t that I took a seat nearby. I was the only other person waiting. Just as the clerk reemerged a guy came waltzing in and right up to her. I stood up from my seat to show I was clearly waiting but nobody took notice. I then said loudly to the them both “did you not see me waiting?” To which the clerk said something very rude and the customer apologized. But I still had to wait. There other customer at the other booth offered me candy because he thought I might be hangry!

DH does this and it drives me crazy. He'll cook whatever meat we're having and then let it sit there while he finishes whatever else he was doing. And it gets cold. I've started eating the main while he tinkers around-we've been married too long for me to care anymore. Luckily he doesn't cook most nights so this is only occasionally.
