Or they take the elevator to go up one flight of stair that has 6 steps to the floor where Weight Watchers is!! It might help if you did take the friggin stairs, larda$$!!!

"People (women especially, sorry ladies) at the grocery store who waits till the cashier TOTALS her order, THEN she gets her wallet out of her purse....oh not enough cash????? Ill write a check!! "

I hate it! I always count my money when I'm about to head to the cashier, if I don't have enough, credit card or check. I have when people do that right after the total is on the screen to count their cash. Hello, estimate sometimes?

I also hate the stairs in the subway, I KNOW that people are in a rush, but if you knock me down the stairs, I'm bringing you down with me. Some idiot once made me trip 2 or 3 stairs down, it wasn't bad, but I was so pissed that I grabbed his shirt sleeve so if I went down- he did too.

And I hate crazy teenagers that NEED to drive their cars 100 mph and act incredibly impatient in back of me when I'm ALREADY pushing the damn speed limit.

Tourists in the subway station that take up the entire staircase to get down or come up and walk VERY slow and make you miss your train.

I HATE TOURISTS!

I hate tourists too. And yet I hate people who hate tourists. Dammit.

But watching tourists swipe the Metro Cards the wrong way is entertaining!

Or when they stand in a group on the corner looking at their map.

People who have long conversations on their cell phones on the bus or train when it's kind of quiet. That annoys me. If it's short and sweet, fine, but there's no need to drag everyone else into a drawn out conversation.

That reminds me of a lady who was yelling on her phone on the bus a couple weeks ago. I think she was yelling at her kid. But it's like, for f*ck's sake, don't make everyone else listen to your fight.

right Rath -- and they are usually the people looking for 42nd Street when they are on 43rd.....

[Bobby457]

Posted: 8/11/04 at 3:16pm

I kinda like that! LOL

WOW...I can tell the New Yorkers and people who work in NYC because we all go through the same thing.

[Unknown User]

Posted: 8/11/04 at 3:21pm

Probably people talking and just the noise in a movie theatre. Ooh...like cell phones. Turn the damn things off.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 8/11/04 at 3:23pm

Oh yes TOTALLY the talking and making lots of noise in movie theaters thing. Which you can't escape in New York - ever.

[Matt_G]

Posted: 8/11/04 at 3:24pm

Even at your classier theatres! That's why I hate going to the movies.

[Bobby457]

Posted: 8/11/04 at 3:24pm

That is good one Captain....I have told people to pay me $10 if they are gonna do that....that usually gets them off the phone.

Taxi Drivers that honk at you while you are in the crosswalk...ON YOUR LIGHT!

oh, when I saw Garden State last weekend, this grandma just pulled out her phone and called someone! They didn't call her, SHE dialed. In.the.theatre.
We had a very new York woman sitting behind us who schooled her, though.

I hope she whooped Granny's ass for that.
