Things that annoy me (2 Viewers)

going into a convenience store to pick up something quick...
and it doesn't turn out to be convenient or quick at all...

I always seem to get behind the indigent looking person that is spending a large amount of money on lottery tickets...

"I want 1 of these...
2 of these...
1 of these...
3 of those...
no, I changed my mind...
I want 1 of these instead...
how much is that so far?..."

as the line grows longer and longer...
and this goes on for 5 minutes...
me watching them blow it all chasing their dream...

I'm also waiting for them so say...

"Can I pay with a 3rd party check from Canada?"

I wish they had a separate kiosk machine for lotto tickets...

I guess somebody has to win...
and you can't win if you don't play...
but talk about long shots...
good luck to you guys...

I have to admit that I profile the folks standing in a line to decide which one to get into. Never get behind an elderly person is the golden rule. They love to chat with the cashier. That is great on the Andy Griffith show but not while I trying to get out of a store. They also wait until all is said and done to take out their method of payment and have to dig around for an hour to find it after standing in line for ten minutes. And if they have to write a check or have coupons, it's time to settle in.

My all time favorite was the lady in front of me at grocery store line that wanted to pay for 3 sticks of butter even thought the box had 5 sticks. She wanted to be charged for 3 sticks and give the other 2 back!....45 minutes later and after I yelled at the manager that I was going to buy the box for her and give her 3 sticks they figured it out!!!

One time in a supermarket, my Greek cousin got torqued off that a guy cut him in line, so he flipped his carriage over....................{eek3}

Let's just say he's not right in the head................:wink2:

The worse part was he broke the guys...............eggs.
 
The weather reporters standing in the street during a hurricane and hamming it up. The drama was astounding. Like an SNL skit. You apparently have to rock back and forth on your feet, hold your hat on, and proclaim the end of times to get a live hurricane spot. You also have to stand next to a downed tree or broken limb and repeatedly make reference to it. Don't let some old lady walking her dog get in the shot because it spoils the apocalyptic mood. Imagine a hurricane in Florida. Who would have thought it could happen? No one asks why folks around the country have been allowed to overbuild in flood, fire, and earthquake areas. Thereby maximizing the impact of every such event. And those who live there expect someone to bail them out when their house is destroyed by a foreseeable event. My favorite moment was when the Mayor of Ft. Meyer was on the phone and was criticizing some citizen for standing on the street "taking pictures." Of course, he did this on a cable network where every reporter was on the street taking pictures at the same moment.

If someone gave me house for free in Florida I would not move there.

Ball soup weather, alligators and snakes.................and hurricanes.

All it takes is one and you lose everything, like the poor bastard they showed swimming.............in his living room.

Having lived in Florida for ten yrs (moved out in '95) I can tell you most areas are 6" to 1' above sea level. The state would be barren if you had to look for high ground. :smile2:

Isn't there a law that everyone in NE has to move to Florida after the age of 60?
 
Watching football games on Amazon Prime. It takes about 5 minutes to open up on my TV. And no way to switch channels during commercials without exiting the streaming. Terrible idea.

No way in H e double hockey sticks am I ever moving to Florida, for many of the reasons mentioned in prior posts, but mainly because many years ago I read a book titled 'Lucifer's Hammer'. Florida is doomed... -- Al
 
Howard Stern. I can remember as a kid listening to him on the local DC radio station before school. Some of his bits were absolutely hilarious. He was also always taking on the government who kept fining him for obscenity. A Lenny Bruce-like figure. Champion of the First Amendment. He has turned into a real kook, however. I was reading that since COVID he does his show from the basement of his mansion. Even until today he rarely leaves home for fear of getting sick. He has become a shill for government overreach, and ironically censorship of anyone who dissents. A real shame.

Thinking back on those days, there were several personalities on TV that still make me laugh. A guy named Petey Greene on TV. He was a Shaft-like character. Wally George out in LA. He had snow white hair and was an ultra conservative. He had a hilarious TV talk show where the audience chanted Wall-y! Wall-y! whenever he pulled a Jerry Springer on one of his leftist guests and threw them off the set. Count Gore de Vol in DC. The local horror host in DC in the 70s and 80s. He had a rubber chicken in a noose. Classic stuff.
