[QUOTE="donna723, post: 518080, member: 1883"] I think I tend to get MORE annoyed at stupid people now that I've retired! More time to think about it maybe? Or maybe they just stand out more now that I don't have to put up with certain people at work? On the "personal space" thing -how about those people who get behind you in the grocery store checkout line and jam in so close to you that you can feel their breath on the back of your neck? While the cashier is ringing up my stuff, I sit my purse on the little check writing platform to dig out my debit card, and the person behind me has moved up even further, so close that I have to get them to back up just so I can get to the machine to run my card through! And while I'm trying to put in my PIN number, they're so close that their head is practically resting on my shoulder! What's wrong with people anyway? They're not going to get through that line one second sooner by jamming up that close to me! And (yes, I'm going here [U]again[/U]!) what about the spacey, giggling, clueless part-time cashier, the high school girl whose voice is all faked syrupy sweetness, the one who insists on calling me "[I]honey[/I]" or "[I]sweetie[/I]" like I'm either one of her high school buddies or some ancient senile old person in the nursing home who thinks we're still fighting World War II! Hey kid, if you wouldn't call your teachers "honey" or "sweetie" then you darned sure better not call me that either! I'm certainly not "sweet" and if you continue to push my buttons you will find out just exactly how NOT "sweet" I am. The last one that tried that ... her ears are probably still ringing but she doesn't call me "sweetie" anymore either! And what about those neighbors who insist on letting their dogs roam the neighborhood, using my yard as a bathroom and setting my four off into a barking frenzy! Yes, MY dogs use our yard as a bathroom but they live here - it's their yard! And my dogs do NOT have worms and I don't want them picking them up from your pathetic little dog who probably hasn't seen a vet since Nixon was in office! [/QUOTE]
