What gets your goat....

[1dn5up]

Whats worster is when you come back from that vacation, No one even knew you were gone... :Shrug:

One summer, I got a cell call from my boss, telling me that corporate wanted shop inventory to start tomorrow ! So my reply was; Will it be ok to filet these smallmouth bass on my lunch hour? His reply; Haah?
mine; Well I might be late to work tomorrow , due to I am on the St Lawerence river fishing while camping at 1000 islands. His reply; What are you saying? Mine; I am on vacation and won't be back to work for another 2 weeks--- I was MIA a week b4 that phone call. Just to say that even the big cheese heads have no clue as to what your doing or at. I love retirement

:Agree: That's as bad as having our dispatch center at Toys R Us giving new hires my cell number when they couldn't find certain backhaul locations in Houston, TX ................. I'm at the rally in Sturgis no less. :laugh:

TV Commercials, One that goes like this; Wife is laying/sleeping by the pool . The Husband comes running by cannon balls into the pool, And soaks the wife and then they both have a good laugh about it...
Real life that husband is dead....:gah:

 

[MikeyTX]

The way the volume increases when the commercials com on. I already have enough hearing issues as is.

 

[paws]

Yes...volume!
thought they passed some kind of regulation or law a few years ago that they couldn't do that anymore. Seemed they were quieter for a while but in the last few months the commercials have really been coming on LOUD. We know they are excessively loud because we have hearing loss and we have to put the mute button on it's so loud.

 

[paws]

Further..re tv commercial volume..
Just looked it up.
The CALM act took effect December 13, 2012.
I think I might make a call to my local news stations to remind them. They are the worst offenders recently during their evening broadcasts.

That's what made me say it. Btw, I am waiting for TX to help with the cost of hearing aids. DRS has a program for working Texans that will co-op the cost.

People that wash dishes before puting them in a dishwasher

The smell of the dishwasher when it's finished and you open the door :gah:

 

[Ol' Man Jeb]

What really irks me is instead of saying "said" or "remarked" or any other appropriate term, People say "goes". Like "so he goes" and "I go" so then "well she goes" etc.

In my area, "goes" is replaced with "like".... "so he's like" and I'm "like" so then "well she's like".:xzqxz:

Is that like they leave the car with a repair note on the seat, with contact info. Call there number to leave the repair est. The car owner calls back three days later to ask if it's ready, while your stairing at the "You Want It When" sign. :fail:

Exactly, some people just do not understand that before the actual fix you need basic info. Without that you cant get started even if its a easy fix

Those Blister package's, For instance i just bought an extra battery for my heated jacket, And yes its packaged in one of those perfectly sealed plastic see though coffins ' The ancient Egyptians couldn't of sealed it better...I Tried to cut it open with my leather-man, Almost took my thumb off, Finely i found my trusty rusty box cutter, That worked but then i managed to destroy the instruction sheet, Didn't matter anyway what with all the blood over it from the Leather-man..
Anyway, Real men don't need no stinking instruction's...And thats what got my Goat today...
Do i need a Tetanus shot i did get one in 1965 so i think their good for life, Right?:Shrug:

 

[Phu Cat]

Ya might want to check with your Dr Rhino but I think Tetanus require a booster every so often. As far as opening a blister pack, I have the most luck opening the long side with a razor knife then carefully tearing it open the rest of the way by hand.

Evert time i see my doctor' Which i try not to do too often, 'The nurse will ask me when was the last time you had a Tetanus shot, My stock answer is 1965 at Fort Dix, And i don't need/want another one...Same thing when they ask did you get the shingles and the pneumonia shots , I say no thank you, don't need them...:Shrug:

 

[Bronson512]

Running down the road, nearing an exit ramp, and the stupid toad behind you can't wait 5 more seconds to get to the exit ramp, so he pulls left around you, gunning the hell out of it, then darts right immediately, cutting off your nose so that he can take that exit ramp. :gah:

And this senseless wrecklessness has gotten to be a common act....why? What is the purpose of it? They only gain 1 car link ahead.
Ya just have to be on your toes every second and don't trust anybody.

I'm with you on this one 100%. Don't have any idea what they're thinking or trying to do.

People that use Gas Pumps for parking places while they go into the Quick Stores and shop.......

around here they park in the fire lane right next to the building an park.

what gets my goat..........standing in line at a convenient store waiting for some gooner make his mind up which lottery ticket he wants and then he decides to stand at the register and scratch it off.

1. Lazy a$$ people who take their cart load of groceries to their car and after unloading they leave the cart between other people’s cars when there is a cart return 2 spaces down.

2. Also, shoppers who are looking on the shelves and park their cart in the center of the aisle so no one else can get by.

3. Teens who wear the waist of their pants around their knees so everyone can see the underwear. (I’m always so impressed:nonono

 

[rhino 2]

On #2 Do what i sometimes do... Add extra stuff to their cart.......

[rhino 2]

I play natural..ie Confused, Sorry i thought this was my cart....:Shrug:

 

[paws]

People who get just inside the door or just outside the door and stand there jabbering away at someone or adjusting their coat or hair or whatever, totally oblivious to the fact that people are trying to get in or out the door and they are blocking it.
Same people having old home week in the middle of the aisle.
:gah:

 

[Phu Cat]

YEP! I know that one well! I once sat in my vehicle while my wife ran in an picked up some things. A young woman came out and emptied her cart then just kind of pushed it aside. This parking lot is kind of sidling and that cart was a bomb ready to roll off an into another vehicle. When she got in her car leaving that cart ready to roll off I politely walked over and wrote down her license number and told her that when the cart rolled off and hit a vehicle causing damage I was going to pass her lic. number to the owner and offer my testimony in court. Man did I hear some choice words but she did move the cart. Then drove off with her hand stuck out the window, signaling to me!

i did a similar thing to a young girl who changed a dirty diaper and threw it down it a shopping center parking lot. I told her there was a stiff fine for littering and she should pick it up for proper disposal. This time I got a different response she apologized and said she knew better.

No Excuse for Littering

A while back I had scheduled a repair time with a woman
I got there on time but she was on the phone.
I figured no problem I can wait, she was a higher ranking person in the company and maybe had some important business to take care of.
After standing there for about 5 minutes I realized she was talking to her daughter about Cheer Leading
I waited another 5 minutes then left.
She complained to my supervisor that I left while she was on a business call
I brought up the fact that I heard her talking to her daughter about the cheer leading
She did not reply back to that
No apology for lying about it being a business call...
Never did fix her issue
She left that company a few months later

What gets your goat...

People who don't take responsibility for their actions.
It's always somebody else's fault.

More Walmart shoppers

Young women who throw their poopy diapers under their car after they changed their baby in the back seat of their car in the parking lot. I watched one girl do it, then pulled in behind her and said “I think you accidentally dropped your diaper under the car.” She gave me a look that could kill and left it there as she drove off. Of course there was a trash can at the cart return 2 spaces down.

The reasoning, she can not leave the rug rat in the car alone. So carrying two loads would just be too heavy :Shrug: Plus ruin that new car smell !!
