<p>People who purposely punctuate their posts in a weitd way just for attention . Like this ! And then claim they don’t know how to change it .</p>
<p>Posters who are passive-aggressive.</p>
<p>People who go to the grocery store, cause I am doing their laundry, and while technically they got what i asked for from the deli, they only got enough to cover the bottom of the container.
:p</p>
<p>People who don’t understand the TOS</p>
<p>People who go to the grocery store, if, “you make a list”, who have been repeatedly told that “making a list” is the major work of grocery shopping.</p>
<p>I almost never ask DH or S1 to get something at the store for me or unless I am extremely EXPLICIT (down to the UPC number), it’s not what I asked for. And often it’s something I can’t use/don’t like. S2 is better and will usually call if he’s not sure.</p>
<p>^^he is usually better, but he thought I just wanted it for a recipe, and didn’t realize that I wanted it just to eat!</p>
<p>But I understand about having to be extremely explicit.
I wanted to reprint the bathroom the same colors, ( peachy & yellowish)I let him go to the paint store by himself cause we had the old paint cans. He came back with paint that was pink not peach & a not right shade of yellow. Oh well I was young &forgiving 
but now I know better.</p>
<p>Going to a movie, for assured seating, requires an online process, entering CC numbers, reentering when a box is not checked, reinstalling a printer cartridge. Standing in line chatting with friends while waiting to pay was more pleasant and companionable, if good seating less than assured. All the computer necessities seem to excessively consume an otherwise pleasant Saturday.</p>
<p>One of my neighbors is sort of a busy body. When I got my car serviced and drove home in a loaner the phone was ringing as I came in the house and she was asking "So did you buy a new car?! Or when the ice storm hit and we waited a day or two on getting to the debris, I get a note in the mailbox asking if I need the numbers of landscapers. Or when I don’t put out anything for recycling day she calls to remind me. </p>
<p>I could go on.</p>
<p>She’s a dear. Very helpful. But it creeps me out. I feel scrutinized.</p>

<p>Soup slurping</p>
<p>All set to buy something… realize that the coupons for it are in the car… and then realize you drove in spouses (ie the other) car…</p>
<p>Drivers who sit at a side-street stop sign, watch me approach, pull out in front of me forcing me to brake even though NO ONE is behind me, then drive below the speed limit. What is the point of that maneuver?</p>
<p>Being called sir. Enter any store, I get ‘Can I help you, SIR?’ Now I know… besides looking helpless, I also look OLD when I walk into a Macy’s.</p>
<p>^^ Oh, I thought you were gonna say you are a woman. How can you have a problem with being called Sir? Ma’am – that’s a whole 'nother story…</p>
<p>@colmomto2, it’s the revenge of the passive-aggressive. I see variations on that all the time while driving. Once, I was behind someone going excruciatingly slow. I had a feeling he was enjoying it. I was OK, not tailgating, knowing that I would be turning soon into a parking garage and wouldn’t be behind him for long. Funny, he turned into the same parking garage (which didn’t surprise me). What did surprise me was when he started to head to the right-side ticket gate, and I happily headed towards the left-side ticket gate, that he, at the last second, swerved to head towards the left-side ticket gate! I had to brake hard to avoid hitting him. My sense is that he didn’t want to give up that feeling of keeping someone behind him a prisoner of his whims.</p>

<p>I will take Ma’am any day over being addressed as “young lady.” That one really irks me. It seems so condescending and inappropriate.</p>
<p>our local walmart honors any coupons from other stores, even without the flyer… i keep ending up behind someone who has a notebook with all the competitor prices so as each item is about to be scanned… that is only 59 cents at the piggly wiggly, that is 2.00 per pound at food world!!! go shop there then!!!</p>
<p>Simpkin, I agree! I’m 53–don’t call me “young lady” or “miss.” And, please, do NOT call my 85 year old father “young man.”</p>
<p>I was only kidding about being called “Ma’am” as it is the correct way to address a married woman. But ‘Sir’ works for all adult men, doesn’t it? It doesn’t imply an older age.</p>
