PRS, people who get off of escalators and JUST STAND THERE also need to shut up.

The inability to walk on a sidewalk is something that needs to be shut up!!

PRS, do NOT switch to RCN.

THEY SUCK MONKEYBALLS.

And they really need to just shut up.

Oh, and PalJoey, work divas need to just go away.

This is a diva-free zone!

I would totally friend Addy and Namo on Facebook and write on their walls and send them applications.

I would totally be PalJoey's Friend.

And that's better than cable!

Addy, I had Time Warner when I lived in NYC and they needed to shut up, too.

Oh, and JG2, ANYONE who unfriends you isn't even WORTHY of a SHUT UP!

YOU are a spectacular woman!

I think I might have to start a cable company.

Show them how to do it right.

You better give me free service when you start it, or you're gonna need to shut up, too!

Oh, I hate my cable company (Comcast), too!! They provide not only TV, but my phone and internet, which gives them three things, not one, to screw up.

They changed the price of my cable by $68, and didn't tell me. Turns out the first year I had them, I had a "promotional rate." They switched me over to the regular rate without telling me. I called to complain, she explained, and I was unsatisfied. So, I said to the woman, "Well, I can probably have Verizon come down tomorrow and get the FIOS set up, so let figure out what time to have you shut this all down." She asked me to wait a minute while she consulted with her supervisor. Surprise, surprise, she came back and was able to "as a courtesy" extend the special for another year. I then asked her to pro-rate my last bill, and credit me the extra $68, which she was also able to do. Thank goodness for competition!

"I hate when people walk down the sidewalk and take up the entire effing thing. Or walk on the left. Or meander back and forth. "

Holy S**T, Phyllis you took the words right out of my mouth. I seriously can't stand it when people walk on the left side of the sidewalk!!! I just wanna yell: I bet you don't know which side to drive on either DIPS**T!!!

Ugh greatly annoyed.

I also hate the guy/girl behind the counter of Walgreen's or CVS late at night who has a snarky comment for you when you just want to pay for "certain things" like profilactics (yep I said it) and get the HELL outta there. I don't need a 17 year old kid asking if "I'm in for a wild night."

Dude in High School I was a Senior when you were a Freshmen I didn't talk to you THEN, and I'm not talking to you NOW!!!!!

I'm gonna write to Obama about our cable service. He needs to fix things.

Seriously, it's insane how they can get away with what they get away with!

And, the check-out counter thing is so true!

VENT AWAY.
It feels GOOD!

Killer, I also don't understand why no matter what city I'm in (including NYC) I'm always the fastest person walking down the street. Seriously. Someone needs to clock me. Maybe I could break a world record.

I just walk into people if I am walking to the right and in a straight line. It's their dumb ass fault.

Oh - and let's talk about double doors. Why does everyone need to go in and out the same one? Why can't people walk to the right and use both, so that people may enter and exit and the same effing time. They need to STFU. A lot.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 11/6/08 at 12:15am

Why can't people just walk to the right, in general?!

And, when you are driving and have to merge into one lane, why can't people just take their turn and manage the merge in an orderly manner?! WHY do they think they're better than anyone else?

Too true about merging. People usually try to herd each other out, as if the 3 seconds they'll save on their commute will be richly rewarded when they reach their destination.

There are people on my block who daily and nightly blast reggae-y music from a giant SUV. I've stopped calling 311--it doesn't help.

My toilet's whistling at a certain low decibel, but it's piercing enough to be annoying as f&ck.

My downstairs neighbor plays piano badly all day (ever hear of earphones??) and my next door neighbor plays loud music at 7 am.

Since I'm in one of the few remaining stabilized units in the building, I'm wondering if the management company's trying to smoke me out with this sh&t.

I'm pretty much in LOVE with this thread!!!

I know almost everyone here must hate running into people from HS or college and making that "small talk" where they try to make you feel like CRAP making those DAMN backhanded compliments like: "Wow your acne KINDA cleared up."

I've found that I have an aversion to assh***s, anyone else?

NYadgal, if you hate cable now, just wait until they provide 1980p high definition films with 5:1 & 7:1 audio on broadband cable. Nightmares will abound.

Killertofu, your name makes me happy. =]

I work at Target..it's terrible. But I love it when I'm in my red polo, khaki pants, with my name badge on holding a walkie talkie and a scanner and a guest comes up to me and says, "Do you work here?"

No this is my Halloween costume! Jeez people.

I also hate when people turn onto a street going 2 MPH and I'm right behind them..please speed up just a tad!

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 11/6/08 at 12:54am

Here is the thing I hate most of all:

People who talk on their cell phones IN AN ELEVATOR!

Oh I know pennywise! It's so awkward and rude..ugh.

"I work at Target..it's terrible. But I love it when I'm in my red polo, khaki pants, with my name badge on holding a walkie talkie and a scanner and a guest comes up to me and says, "Do you work here?"

That's the point in the day when you have one of two choices either punch them directly in the TRACHEA in hopes that they'll never speak again or just say: "Nope the name tag is just in case I get lost so someone can help me get home later, the red shirt just makes my eyes POP and that walkie talkie accentuates my hips SPARKY!!

As you can tell I've never worked in customer service...nor shall I ever...I'd be 100% horrible at it.
