Politically correct B/S. esp at the moment.
The reason for the upcoming holiday is CHRISTMAS. Whether you believe in it or not, this holiday season is about Christmas. So please lets stop wishing each other "Happy Holidays" we should be allowed to say "Merry or Happy Christmas!" without anyone taking offence.

Parents who let sticky, cotton candied fingered RugRats meander about art shows, UNATTENDED!

This has become SO BAD that we are adding a sign:
UNATTENDED CHILDREN WILL BE GIVEN TWO CUPS OF EXPRESSO, A DRUM SET AND A FREE PUPPY.

This is WAR!!!!

This is EXACTLY how this will help. It'll make ME feel a lot better, instead of completely helpless:) OTHER than that, it's a useless sign.
 
Someone said happy Hanukkah to me last week and were surprised when I responded "same to you, and Merry Christmas." Not sure if they were being a smart ass or not but I wasn't, and it was during Hanukkah.
 
At my workplace we sell expensive commercial riding mowers.What drives me nuts is when parents let their kids go nuts in the store,climbing all over the mowers & just getting into trouble while the parent is totally not aware of what the kids are doing.I'm afraid someone could get hurt,plus it just bugs me to see kids that show no respect to other people's things.

Adults who let their children run Around restaurants and department stores! I just don't get it, guess that's why we see these terrible harnesses and tethered children...

And waiters that say "welcome to such and such, how are you? And when you reply doing well thanks how are you? And you get nothing besides what can I get you to drink? Dot ask how I'm doing if you don't care or won't listen and answer appropriate questions...

See that's why my response to that question is almost always ....

Can't complain, no one listens anyway. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
 
Drivers who wait until the last 10 feet of space to get over to the next lane even though construction signs have warned about the lane closure for the last 3 miles.
 
Drivers who tailgate you and then speed up to pass you and then slow down after moving into your lane.

People who pull out their phone while I'm talking to them. If it's important, the caller will either call back or leave a message.

Call waiting. My sister used to put me on hold to catch a call when I called her long distance. It got really bad until I started hanging up when she put me on hold. After a few times, she stopped putting me on hold.

The term "No Problem."

People who switch to a different language when you walk into a room (happens a lot in South Texas).

Folks who won't take credit for their own mistakes, but instead try to blame someone else. If you mess up, then say, "I messed up," and be done with it. It's easier on everyone, and others will think better of you for your honesty and humility.

People who don't proofread their work. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it should at least make sense when read aloud.

Run-on sentences I just hate it when someone writes run-on sentences and then changes to a totally different subject in the middle of oh look at the pretty birdie don't you just hate that?

People who are rude to waitstaff.

I could go on, but I just hate it when people make up endless lists. :biggrin:
