Things that just bug the heck out of ya!

Ok i'm having a day that most things are bugging me. So I thought I may as well not be alone and hope you can help me vent so I will start.

It bugs the heck out of me when............

1. A customer takes longer than .001 seconds to sign their name on a check.
2. A customer takes a cell phone call at the counter while I am explaining what we did to their vehicle and accepting their money.


Ok I feel a little better now!

The guy that programs the traffic lights in our city. I would love to take him for a ride around town and punch him in the nose at every stupid light we come up to.

I'm having a bad day. Trying to fight off a kidney stone....

Britt,

I've passed a couple of kidney stones they're nasty. I would like to take the entire city council for a ride around town. The city has decided to build speed tables and roundabouts in several residential areas and most of them are poorly marked. Pretty hard on a fire truck when you hit one at 25mph.

Right now, when someone who you thought was a very good friend of yours runs off with your best friends sister and not returning any calls to see if they are alright. So far in the last 36 hours, 2 calls. But the last one said they are alright.

When I'm driving and the person in front of me is driving slow enough that if I'm the lower gear, I'm revving the snot out of the motor or the next gear up is lugging the motor. God that 03 CTD with the auto is gonna be nice around town.

Really wish the BLI, Bright Light Indicator would dim with the rest of the dash lights when you spend the wheel down.
