Really? You are surprised? How old are you, 4? Part 2 I don't understand why people stand in line at stores and feel like it's OK to crab to the person next to them. When I'm inline I'm either deleting texts, making a list or trying to zone out for a moment. Things that have been said to me this past week: "They need more checkers (said when each register is open and fully staffed)" "When I worked this would never have happened" "I am on my lunch hour and don't have time for this" "I had surgery and shouldn't be standing in this line" "I am buying this for my boss and I really want to buy him some therapy" "I have to buy for my co workers and it makes me really angry".........sigh, leave me alone I just want to zone out for a moment.

This is a pet peeve of mine in SM but especially the Indy queue. I usually just step aside and let the hordes run through, then walk at a decent pace and end up on the same vehicle as them. Sheesh.

Originally Posted By Goofyernmost >>>Ok, why do people wear baseball hats and leave the sticker on?<<< I don't understand why a grown-up would even wear a baseball cap, either the correct way or, especially, backwards.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 >>>When you are nice enough to hold the door open for someone why cant everyone say thank you?<<< Yes!!! I have been wondering the same thing! Lately this is happening more and more. I'm surprised when someone does say "thank You." I have to admit that sometimes I say "you're welcome" anyway

I will tell my husbands biggest theme park pet peeve. we were at WDW for Christmas and of course there were lines everywhere. My husband HATES when we are waiting in a food line or for ice cream that people don't know what they want when they get to the till. Parents ask their kids what do you want? and you have had 10 minutes in line to figure that out. When we order food we are so quick because we know what we want and also have money ready.

They looked at me like I was from the moon. Seriously people "MOVE" so I can finish my transaction. Sigh! SO, I guess my TIDU is why people can't stay in their own "space" until it's their turn. What's the rush? And get off of my lawn

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Sort of jumping off of Tasha's, I've noticed more and more people at stores and fastfood places who appear totally surprised when the cashier asks them for money. I'm not expecting you to have the exact change ready to go before you order, but you might want to have a hand on your wallet, or at least be aware that you'll have to pay for it eventually. The price may shock you a little, but the fact that they want your money really should be expected.

Now what if they owners kids or grandkids want to play on the lawn? What if the owner walks out barefoot to get the paper? There are plenty of areas for peeing and pooping that are not likely to have much human action so I just don't get why the dogs on leash are allowed to wander on lawns. Yes I have a dog and no I don't have a front lawn Now get off my rocks dagnabit
Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>Now what if they owners kids or grandkids want to play on the lawn?<< Then they can go pee or poop on the neighbor's lawn, right? Isn't that how this works? : )
Originally Posted By A Happy Haunt I don't understand bad pet owners. My neighbors leave the dogs out all day/night & leave!! Then they call another neighbor to look after the dogs because they'll be home late!!
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Oooh, the line thing. I was just at WDW and US:IoA and there were SO very many people who got to the front of the line and had no idea what tickets/food/etc they wanted. And these are long lines! *fuming* just remembering
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Twitter. Early on my son explained to me how he uses it to keep in touch with certain colleagues for technical advice. That made sense.
