People who spell my name without an H even though the H is right in front of them on an email for example.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::censer::censer::censer:
I don’t get it. I mean it’s one thing if you don’t know how that particular girl spells it. But how can you misspell it if it’s right there sitting in front of you already spelled out?

oh okay i'll try not to do that Sarahhh lol

it's not as bad as my last name you can always tell it's someone who wants to sell you something when they don't say your name right. sure there's some that don't know how to say it but the ones who call your ass up on the phone are the ones who do it the worst.

People who abandon shopping carts---with items in them!---in the store aisles. It's inconsiderate enough when people decide they no longer need the (empty) cart and leave it in an aisle**, but why go "shopping" (pick out items) and THEN change your mind, leaving it all for some overworked young stock clerk to return it to the shelves? Bonus de-merits if they leave "cold" items in the cart. On what planet is this considered acceptable behavior?

** They will pass by the cart area in the lobby/front as they leave, so why not return it to the cart area as they leave? In other words, put it back where you got it from?

Only once I left the supermarket without buying anything and it felt very weird (because the checkout is the only way to leave, obviously). The only thing that made it a little easier was the comforting thought that I was never going to return to that shambles of a supermarket (it starts with an "L" and ends with "idl")

I've said it before, but people who hog the shelves with not only themselves while they examine EVERY packet of salmon to see which one they want, but then further offend by using their trolley to block even more space so you can't get in. The amount of times I've found myself saying 'Any chance?' out loud is unreal. Thank God for masks.

It's not new to do this, though. One of my uncles got his mother's maiden name as his first name when he was born in 1947. My mother got a variation on my grandfather's middle name even earlier than that. I think it's just gotten more and more wacky (as in inappropriate surnames) as people have embraced silly names for their kids in general.

I will say that while Emerson is kind of cringey, it sure beats the hell out of this whole Aiden/Jayden/Kayden/Leyden/Creighton/Leighton/Peyton nonsense I see among all these bourgeois millenial parents around here. if you like the name, fine---just be ready for your kid to be one of a dozen Aidan/Caydin/Shayden kids in their classes, and all those rhyming names in one place will cause chaos in the classroom.

People who leave water bottle and wipes on equipment at the such. It totally infuriates me. Before I can use a treadmill, I often have to clear away someone's rubbish. These are probably the same selfish people who leave towels on benches in the changing room instead of in the provided containers and leave the doors of lockers open. If it was up to me I would give them a life long ban.

People who drive like maniacs. Driving fast is one thing, but being reckless is completely different. I’m in a company vehicle all day and being filmed the entire time. The speed limit is all I can do and it just amazes me how many people get impatient and go around me all day long. What’s the hurry? Unless there’s a pregnant woman in the car about to give birth I don’t see the point in driving like a complete lunatic.

"Anyone who drives slower than I do is an idiot, and anyone who drives faster than I do is a maniac." :Clol: (old joke---no offense)

What gets me is the ones who speed on roads with frequent traffic signals. US 1 through town has a traffic light every block, making it impossible to attain any high speeds. And why would you want to? You'll just be stopping again. And yet I have people barreling past me, breaking their necks to get to that next red light.
