I don't know if this is just driving pet peeves, as it seems to be, but here is one that doesn't involve an automobile. I have very little patience for people that can't seem to be able to bow out of a conversation and get back to what they were doing. I have an employee who will come to provide an update on a project she is working on and just can't seem to stop talking. She says the same thing 50 times, 5 different ways, and just won't move on even after I have fully acknowledged her and thanked her for her work (she does a good and thorough job). Have met a few people like that over the years. Typical conversation:

Her: So I was looking into that shipment and had to look in the archives and found out it left here on the 3rd and it was actually delivered to the wrong address on the 8th.
Me: Ok so it was carrier error. Do we need to reship it, or can it be picked up and moved?
Her: I arranged for it to be forwarded. But you know it left here on the 3rd and delivered somewhere else on the 8th.
Me: Nice find, and great work. Thanks.
Her: I just couldn't believe it delivered somewhere else on the 8th. I don't know why no one saw that.
Me: Yeah, strange, someone should have seen it. Thanks for straightening that out.
Her: Yeah on the 3rd. I saw that it shipped and looked at the tracking and found the other address it delivered at.
Me: Nice job. Thanks.
Her: And then they were able to forward it so we won't have to issue a call-tag or anything.
Me: That's great, thanks. I appreciate it.
Her: Yeah and I don't know why it took 5 days to deliver that address is in a 2-3 day zone from here.
Me: Yeah, I will provide feedback to the carrier. Thanks again.
Her: It was shipped by Carol. She did everything right, it looks like a carrier mistake. And it left here on the 3rd.
Me: GGGAAAHHHHHHH GET THE **** BACK TO WORK HOLY HELL I HAVE OTHER **** TO DO!!1!!!

That last part is what I wanted to say, but didn't. I usually have to just walk away or start up a conversation with someone else. There is no way out of this, it is like an endless loop. Drives me nuts.

No HOMO or had something really important to post on JF? That's usually how I am when Talkatron hits me up at work. Normally when I start typing something they get the hint.

Yeah that can work. I have seen people just keep talking while I took a call and then actually left my office for a few minutes to check on something then came back and they started talking again. Amazing.

Back to the topic.

It's really annoying when people start typing and answering phones when I'm having a conversation with them. It's pretty rude when clearly I've only just begun.
 
Back on topic. I hate it more than life itself when the bag isn't glued to the bottom of the cereal box. I go to pour out some breakfast and the whole damn bag comes sliding out.

Sucks when things aren't idiot proof, am I right?

They're made for people like me whose zippers seem to have a larger than normal gravitational pull.
 
Really? I guess that makes some sense.

I just like how I'm always dealing with women stepoing up close, winking, and reaching down to pull up the zipper.
But I guess not having to deal with that is pretty good too.
 
True Story:

I didn't know until I was like 25 years old that if you pull up your zipper, then flip it downwards at the top it locks and keeps it from falling down. Was a life changing moment when I found out.

Lots of action to be had in the ladies room in the old folks home I take it.
