Not sure if its my biggest or not, but I hate it when people use michigan lefts as if they were two lanes. If there are no lines, it's only one lane, and you're pretty much just cutting off a whole bunch of people.
This reminded me of another one. Inappropriate use of quotation marks. One of our HR reps is horrible about this. For example: Please join us to "say goodbye" to <an employee> as its their "last day". We'll have cake and ice cream in the "lunch room".
Drives me nuts.
That would drive me crazy too! It reminds me of the Friends episode where Joey doesn't know how to use air quotes.

THIS! In my office it it me and two other ladies. When either one of them finish the roll neither of them replace it. And its not like it is that hard, the toilet paper is sitting right next to the toilet. All you have to do is take it out of the packaging and put the new roll on!
Currently, strangers not respecting personal space. Like standing at the cash register to pay for a coffee and the next person is pretty much humping my back just itching to order.
In addition to that, not waiting till the other person has left said cash register before they walk up to order. I mean, I just got my change back and my coffee, give me two seconds to walk away!
LOL... that is hilarious. I completely agree though. I hate being rushed after I make a purchase to throw my receipt/change in my purse and just get away from the counter. I usually purposely take longer if someone is rushing me.
LOL! I started to take longer too. I even once stood like a linebacker because this lady was just breathing down my neck . . .and I was only buying a cup of coffee!!
Totally random, but I don't feel like starting another post. Jess...can you come to the GTG tonight??

YES!! Do it!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.
OMG this is so me too!! I frickin hate when you're in line and someone is basically on your back. I need a little bit of personal space here people!!
Also people that come to the self-checkouts with like a full cart of groceries and don't know how to use the thing.
I wish I could! Marcin is out of town, so Loki would be "locked up" all day. Since it rained all evening yesterday, I have to take him on a major walk . . .
lol! When I'm grocery shopping I leave my cart behind me in line until I'm ready to leave. Even when loading up the cart and paying. This forces people to stay a cart length away from me and the credit card machine. It drives some people nuts. You can just see them getting more and more antsy because they can't get closer. WTH do they want to be so close for? Your order will not start being rung up until mine is done. And if by chance the cashier rings up one or two of your items before you are in his/her face, you will live. People suck.
OMG I do this too! I hate when ppl invade my personal space.
I recently had this happen to me at a Redbox. I mean, seriously?! Why in the world do you have to be practically on top of me while I enter my email address and get my movie? It ended up making feel protective of my information, even though it was just an email address. I was *this close* to turning and saying "can I help you with something?!"
