people not using turn signals when driving and people not waving (customary) after you let them merge in normal city traffic.

Tier1 who simply asks the customer if they own their modem or if they lease it, then copy/paste (from notepad) a sh|tload of notes about all different kinds of troubleshooting steps that they didn't go through, then transfer the customer to Tier2 where I have to fumble over what they did and didn't do. :disgust: :frown:

I know the feeling well. Not the same job, but similar.

People in public places who act as if they're at home. Some examples: public nose picking, loud cell-phone conversations, parents allowing their rug-rats to tear up the immediate vacinity, throwing garbage out a car window, etc.

It's like we're all in one big play pen. Sometimes I just want to pickup my Tonka Truck and go back home.

OMG that's the worst. My friend got a cell phone and now he talks to his preteen girlfriend 24/7 at malls and etc.. Well she just turned 16 but she is really immature, even more than me. *gasp*

My pet peeve would be people who drive as if they are looking for a godd@mn yard sale. Puttering around at 20mph on 50mph roads is uncalled for. If you are looking for a buisness I understand, but most of these people drive that slow always.

My other pet peeve is fast food restaurant works. I am always very polite and clear when I order, so how does my two tacos turn into a burrito with no sour cream and a mexican pizza? HOW? Does Taco Bell even require a basic understanding of English to work there? This goes for all fast food restaurants, but Taco Bell is the worst offender.
