Places That Annoy You (Excluding Walmart)

Target 

Mine

A busy road between the hours of 7-9am and 5-7pm. 

Airports. The people in them are clueless. Someone stoping in the middle of a busy terminal is going to put me in jail soon.

Same on busy sidewalks.  People walking and then suddenly stop or turn around as if no one could possibly be right behind them.

Almost everything about airports is a pet peeve for me.  Other than a few good restaurants and bars, the airport experience pretty much sucks door-to-door.

I am excluding Walmart because it is probably #1 on everyone's list.

I have grown to hate Ace Hardware oddly enough.  I go there on occasion because it is super close, but their prices are awful and most of the time...I cannot even find what I am looking for.  And the associates are typically morons.

Our local Ace is fantastic. Same people have worked there for years and can find anything instantly.

Starbucks.  Bunch of hipster dufuses.  

Menards.  No one ever knows where anything is.

Pretty much any retail clothing establishment.  

Not sure anyone said it yet but Car Dealerships. Like fuck, just put a price on it and be done. And then after I buy one don’t email me about selling it back to upgrade you schmucks.

Oh god yes. Lord what awful places that insult your intelligence.

Jury duty

Any local government office.  You think our federal government is run by clowns?  Nothing compares to local Government.  They have nothing better to fucking do, but they still want to make your experience as painful as possible.  The county in NJ where I am getting married has absurd procedures to get a damn marriage license.  I am tempted to wear a "if it pleases the crown we shall be wed" shirt when we go in.

Agreed. Probably going to murder one of those lazy pieces of shit who just stand there on the moving sidewalks too.

I'm confused. Arent these for people that specifically don't feel like walking? Cant you just walk as fast as you want without using it?

They are for walking quickly down a long hallway in the Airport. 

I.e. you're trying to catch a flight and you have about half a mile in the concourse.  You use the moving walkways to get to your gate quickly.  Standing on them is laziness. 

I was under the impression that it was stand on the right, walk on the left like an escalator.  

Side note. I was in the airport a few years ago and the escalator broke.  Nobody moved. I finally yelled.  "Keep moving, the escalator is now stairs.". People are stupid.

That is the general rule (applies to escalators too), but I still find it very lazy if you are just standing on them.*

*If you are able bodied. 

I make a effort to stay away from any office of the IRS, Accountants, Lawyers  or any combo of the three.

I check on line to see if the store has the item.  I then call the store and ask if they would check and make sue they have the item.  After getting as yes answer on both ways I go to the store and they don.t have the item.  If this only happen once I could live with it but  I must be the unlucky one because more than once it has happened. .  The best one is you order an item and the store calls and say the item is in.  You go to the sore and they inform you they sold it to someone else.  Thanks Sears, Lowes, Home Depot and a couple of more.

Any place that I set an appointment/reservation where I still have to wait. Dr.'s office to restaurant.
