What REALLY grinds your gears?

Salesmen who must tell me their entire life history when I'm just trying to purchase one simple item.

I went looking for some inexpensive pool cues today at a place called "Rec Warehouse". The salesman "Felix" who was this rather dopey looking fellow with bad teeth asks to assist me. So I tell him what I want and instead I get a 30 minute synopsis on the following details of his life.

- He is one of the top ranked pool players in Greensboro. He plays 6 hours a day and is going to Vegas to become a pro.

- He loves football. Acutally he loves football players and explained how upset he was when Jerry Rice went to Oakland. Montana is the greatest, but he loves Brett Farve too and he's going to see the Packer's play this season, but when Farve leaves he won't be a Packer fan anymore. I then called him a bandwagon fan, which he argued he wasn't. (Whatever dude.) Then he proceeded to tell me which Redskins players were in the hall. Dave Butz being one of them. He knew everything about the Skins cause his parents were Skins fans.

- He loves basketball, but stopped being a Bulls fan when Jordan left. He claimed he was offered a full ride to Georgia Tech and the coach came to his house personally and begged him to play, but he turned him down because the only coach he respected was Dean Smith and that guy wasn't Dean Smith, so he told him thanks, but no thanks and he wanted to be just like his dad and join the marines. (For the love of God, make it stop.)

- He has only five items of sports memorabilia, but they are kept in a safety deposit box because they are worth $85,000.

Those are just the highlights. I could go on and on and on...

Newsflash dude, you're a tool who sells hottubs and pool tables. End of story. JUST HELP ME FIND WHAT I NEED! The crappiest part of this whole experience is that he sold me what he said were 52 inch pool cues, only when I get home they're 58 inches. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!

Sounds like the kind of guy that I should introduce to my wife. It sounds like they would really get along.

Never thought you'd see the day you'd complain about it being 6 inches too long did you? ;)

You're on fire today.

When an NFL player sues a NYC club for using his name to promote the establishment and it makes the news.

Well, in this case, size matters. I definately feel like I got the shaft today.



(you're totally going to hell for making me say that)

That has to be one of my newest things to make me angry. The wife just got a new job that she had to buy a suit for. The woman who rung us up sat there telling us all about her buttons and why she has so many and how her family can use them. She forgot to take off the ink tag so basically she didn't get to wear it on her first day.

So I go to Walmart the other night. I pick out the checkout line with the shortest line. Finally I get to put my stuff on the belt. The person in front of me produces (in addition to the other stuff they bought) 9 items that have no price.
NOW, individually, we have to check each price and ponder if she wants THAT item or not? After she decides she wants them all.......we get a total. THEN we have to re-check the items one by one, and remove about 4 or 5 to reach the acceptable total.
I now understand why there is a five day waiting period for handgun purchase!

Ok, I am a Contractor. Why in the hell is it that the ENTIRE Federal Government is off tommorrow, but the 3 of us in my position have to work on the fourth? It is a bunch of BS! It is not like we can get anything done the rest of the week anyway, so just give us the day off damn it!
