Some Things
Some things that annoyed me perhaps overly much today:
The cashier at my grocery insists on completing my transaction for me. I understand that there is a language barrier (she speaks primarily Spanish) and I understand that most of your customers probably still find this "new fangled" debit card thing hard to understand, but I don't need you reaching around the keypad and pressing buttons for me. Every cashier at this place does it, no matter the client, but for some reason it really got under my skin today.
I hate the phrase "Have a good one." It's sloppy, lazy, and just unattractively phrased. It makes the speaker seem uneducated, at least in my mind. My bank teller said it to me as I left this afternoon, and it grated my last nerve.
No one in New York City needs an umbrella larger than the width of their own shoulders. Hell, you can practically walk across town just under the scaffoldings and only ever get wet when you cross streets. I was poked in bot the temple and the neck by wayward umbrellas this afternoon, from careless umbrella owners. One woman had an umbrella so wide that she had to lower it to fit under a scaffold. It was literally too large for her to pass otherwise. Why do you need that?! To make it extra annoying it was barely drizzling at the time that I saw her.
When you are traveling the wrong way up a set of stairs when exiting the subway don't glare and huff at me because I am trying to go down the stairs in the proper direction. It's just like driving, travel in the right lane. That train that you just got out of? I'd love to get on it, and I probably could've if you hadn't been in my way on the stairs.
Sorry, I'm just annoyed and grumpy today and a lot of people got on my nerves as I went through my day.
