So instead of getting out to ride while I work and taking an occasional call so I CAN be out and work... Cause you know I work from home most of the time..

I should just stay inside to make YOU happy????

Ummm.... Not a shot in hell...

My pet peeve is people that try to tell me what I should do...

I've got plenty, but one of my biggest, and I've posted it here before, people collecting money on the streets. The worst is when kids are sent out on the streets to collect. Collecting for football uniforms, pom poms, etc... damn when I was a kid, it was the parents responsibility to take care of this. You have kids, you take care of them, don't ask me to, I didn't make them. What kind of values are you teaching them

Improper use of myself, literally, and irregardless.

The phrase "going forward"

People who don't know how to work toll booths

Email forwards that, even if worthwhile, don't delete the eleventy brazillian email addresses from previous forwards

I just found myself driving up to the bank yesterday, and there were a couple kids at the door with their donation cans. I backed up, went around and used the drive thru. I hate being obligated because they smile and open the door for you. I am sure these are good kids, however. I can't see the trouble makers at school doing this. I am conflicted on this.

self check-outs at any store that takes longer than if an average cashier had handled the transaction

No conflict for me, yeah they may be good kids and all, but they're not mine, why shoud I support them. Next time one asks me for cash, I'll tell them to go ask their folks. Don't get me wrong, I love kids and am very generous with relative's kids and friends kids, but why should I be made to feel obligated to take care of stranger's kids? Cause they're cute and well behave? Nah, don't think so.

I normally go to stores that have self checkouts just so I don't have to deal with cashiers. Find them more efficient.
