You’re giving me a headache! continued…
The news anchor, when involved in a deep discussion with their target, uh, “guest” who is just getting to the meat of their answer “Quickly, I’m up against a hard break” and cuts the interviewee off while continuing for what seems hours with the anchor’s views. Or even “Hi, tonight we have Grand Poobah Bilttsburpflap from the planet XOUBCT with the reason Earth is being invaded. Tell us, Grand Poobah, what your manifesto is. And quickly, as we’re up against a hard break.”
The traffic signals with the new “runner cams” that trip the light to red at exactly 1:100000000 second after I’ve passed the point of no return that the computer says I should receive a ticket.
The runner cam that keeps my lane green until it sees me approaching, then turns my light red even though there is no traffic on the cross street. I can just see some fella in the city’s master traffic camera headquarters laughing like crazy yelling “Carla! We did it to him again!!”
Drivers – truck, car, motorcycle, whatever – that insist on running side by side on the two lane Interstate creating a 20 mile back-up. The auto driver has his cruise control set and will be danged if he’ll touch that accelerator. The truck driver’s governor is set ¼ mile an hour faster than the guy he’s trying to pass. Gimmee a break. Or is that “brake”.
The idiot in front of me at the security check point in the airport. To those of you who have flown in the past 8 years, I don’t have to explain.
The clerk at any retail/restaurant outlet that, when handed a five dollar bill along with 6¢ for a $1.06 order who has no clue or glimmer of how much change to give me.
“Convenience” fees. Why do convenience fees seem to benefit the vendor much more than me?
ATM fees.
