I drink regular black coffee.

 

However, it seems I am always behind the person who needs the WHOLE coffee menu explained to them.


And then proceed to pay with some clunky smart phone app rather than whip out a $5 bill!

@beckyb1012  Can I just say how adorable it is that you refer to shopping carts as "buggies."  I've never heard that before.  What part of the country are you from?  I think the Brits refer to them as "trollies" across the pond.  Smiley Happy  These kinds of things amuse and interest me, what can I say...

 

 

 

 


Tyler, "East" Texas.   I do have a bit of a twang.   Even when I walk in the stores most of the employees ask if I need a buggy instead of a cart.  Never really thought about it before.  You are quick to pick that up.  Buying groceries after work today and I am sure I will think of you!!  Have a great day.

But I do have one more.  Glass or platic food jars that have sealed on paper/plastic under the tops.  They have three little tabs or one tab on the top and inevitably the tab rips off and your left with the seal still on.  Esp the jars of peanut butter.  They never, ever peel off completely.  You pull one tab and it rips down the center.  Ugh!!!!!


Oh, me too!  I take a sharp knife and plunge it into those seals -- so satisfying😄

lol  Too cute!  Texans have been some of the most gracious and affable people I've ever had the privilege of meeting.  You have a great day as well!!  And if anyone neglects to return their buggie to its proper place, you tell them Ali said to get with the program!  That'll straighten 'em up.  Smiley Very Happy

Those on the BB who hijack threads to have personal back and forths with another poster. 

 

Loud talkers in public places.

Men and woman who pollute the air with their smelly perfume, cologne.

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this thread! This sort of conversation is exactly why I come to this forum.

The ones on the bleach bottles are the worst - I'm always afraid I'm going to end up with a face full of bleach, not to mention the numerous tee shirts I have ruined trying to pull it off.

Mine would mostly be related to driving and bad drivers.  The top one for me are those drivers who do not use turn signals.....HEY IDIOT, I CAN'T READ YOUR MIND!!!!!
