Post a pet peeve.

Going back even farther, in addition to Bells & Park Edge, which used to be separate entities, we had Loblaws, Star Markets, and a few other players. All of which are long gone now, victims of Wegmans' empire.

we also used to have a Super Duper supermarket which is also long gone....it's funny though for Bells Park Edge though because it was the same kind of niche market that Whole Foods is.....open design, fresh produce, etc. and we seem to be doing OK despite Wegman's and Dash's best efforts

To return to a well worn subject, how can a package from the US cross the Atlantic in a matter of hours and yet it's taking days (fourteen and counting) to get from London to me?

I live in Greenock, Scotland. Thirty minutes or so away from central Glasgow via public transport.

Is the delivery guy walking from London or something?

Mine would be when i speak of something i am involved in or know about, then for others to assume cause they saw something on tv that what i talk about is either crazy or otherwise not true without them even bothering to do the research.

It often shows the stupidity of the other person when they open their mouth, and speak without thinking. I find myself often laughing before i even comment.

I completely understand your peeve.

I have little tolerance for people who know nothing of a subject but claim to know everything.

How do you put up with jel??

I think that describes Annoyed more than me

[Gatefan1976]

Nothing can describe Annoyed

Makes it very hard for witnesses to tell the cops what they saw.

Other people. Again.

Specifically the chatty ones.

I was in town a few days ago, at the clothing alterations/repair shop picking up a couple of items I'd dropped off a couple of days prior.

It's a small shop, and as such they've a sign in the window saying "One customer only at a time". Which is fair enough, I have no problem with that.

There was a lady inside already so I stood outside to wait my turn.

A couple of minutes pass. She's talking to the shop owner.

A couple more minutes pass. She's still talking.

A couple more minutes pass. She's heading to the door. She almost has her hand on the door handle, then she turns back and starts talking again.

WTF?!?

We're in the midst of a global pandemic! We're supposed to minimise contact with other people, and yet you're standing in a shop gabbing away nineteen to the dozen?

Learned to live with it.

For some reason, Freddie Mercury just started singing... "I'm the invisible man."

reminds me of a friend of my mom's who when she calls she talks to my mom without barely pausing to breathe and my mom can't even get a word in edgewise with her

When I was a kid, maybe aged five or six, I'd an afternoon off school for some reason.
So, it being a nice day, my mum decided we'd go out and have an ice cream at the café along the street.

We get five minutes walk away from the house, when she bumps into one of her friends and they start talking.

And talking...
And talking...
And talking...

As you can imagine, I'm bored out of my tiny mind.

I'd no clue what time it was, I didn't wear a watch in those days - don't think I'd even grasped the concept of Telling the Time yet - so you can imagine my surprise when some of my school friends come ambling down the street towards us.

That meant it was after half past three.

We'd left the house shortly after midday.

Mum and her friend had been chatting for over three hours!

To this day she denies it was that long, and that it was only an hour or so.

I never did get that ice cream.

I lent someone at work my phone charger, and to someone I didn't really know but who's been working at the warehouse temporarily for the past couple of weeks. He said he would give it back to me, so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I waited until the end of my shift, waiting for him to give it me back, in the end I discovered he'd finished with it earlier and then lent it to someone else. I got it back in the end, it was plugged in in the canteen. But yeah, if you're going to borrow someone's phone charger, don't then lend it to someone else without even asking the owner. Rude.

I don't mind lending it to people I know, but I don't think I'll lend it to anyone else I don't know again though.

That's bad manners in my book.

If you loan something to someone, there's an unspoken agreement that they don't lend it to anyone else without your permission.

Damn right.
I lend my stuff to people all the time and their are only 2 rules, give it back and keep it safe. If you lend it to someone else, you lose both of those rules.
