- To place an order in a restaurant and have the server come back later and tell you what you ordered is not available while your table mate’s order has been started.
- Having the driver in front of you change lanes without a signal, or worse, go from the left lane to the off ramp with no signal right in front of you.
- Automated voice services on all business phone numbers with no clue how to reach a real voice.
- Waiting in a bank for the next banker (not teller) and have the banker walk by and say they will be with you in a moment, then minutes later, walk by you and out of the bank to lunch while you still wait.
- In a store, find the item you want in short supply on the shelf, ask the clerk to check for more, find out there is plenty in the stockroom, but the stockroom clerk informing you that they won’t help you and to come back the next day.
- Sticky foods like peanut butter packed in jars with shoulders so you can’t get it all out or clean the empty container.
Did I experience one or more of these in the past day or two, of course? Are there more, oh yeah? What are your pet peeves.
