SH. I too have left full carts and gone elsewhere where there were long lines and no help in sight. Years ago a mgr came running over and asked what I was doing. I told him that I was not going to wait in a long line to give him MY money because he refuses to hire and help. He said, you can't do that, As I walked out the dr I said, I just did. POWDERMAN.  ;) ;)

When you call a business with an issue or question you have, and none of the automated props you hear match what you need to ask. Which most of the time is the case.  Then you have to figure out how to get to a person. Some times it takes another call or two to get out of the automated answer system.

SHOOTALL. Don't know, it was an A&P grocery store, I moved my business elsewhere. The local Kroger used to put out sale signs on non sale items intentionally. I counted 8 sale signs in the wrong place in the meat case one day, I pointed it out to the mgr, he said, just an honest mistake, I'll fix it. 2 days later the signs were STILL wrong, example, $1.49 lb sign, product under sig $3.49 +, some higher. I called the mgr again and pulled the signs right in front of him and gave em to him. YOU CAN'T DO THAT, I just did. I told him I'd be in from time to time and if he found his signs in the floor he'd know they were wrong and I'd been there. That pretty well solved the problem. I still find HONEST mistakes occasionally, again I go to mgt. POWDERMAN.  ;) ;)

HEH, if I start pulling signs my wife goes to the other end of the store. We were in taco bell last year and ordered a sale product and were told the sale was over last week. I started pulling signs down from the window and ceiling and said, I reckon ya won't need these anymore then. My help was not appreciated. Whodathunkit?? POWDERMAN.  ;) ;)

Somebody talking on a cell phone, in a left hand turn lane, or talking to the passenger in the car, and the light is only long enough, to get maybe 4 cars thru when drivers are paying attention. And only them and the next one in line gets thru, if they push it. Would love to catch up to them, and insert the phone where the sun don't shine!!gypsyman

Butchered use of the verb, "need."  If you "need" something, you profit or benefit from it or stand to suffer from not obtaining it.  You "need" food, shelter, water, and oxygen.  You "need" recognition, love, acceptance, etc. 
It realy grates on my nerves to hear somebody say, "That convicted rapist "needs" to die."  NO HE DOESN'T!!  Society may "need" for him to die but it most definitely does NOT benefit him to die.  There are a whole lot of things he needs but to die isn't one of them.  ERGGGG!!

That's what skilled drivers do.
What skill pray tell would that be?
 
Driving a big rig with that sort of driving style will get you in an accident. It will be judged preventable and possibly cost you your job. Driving wide is asking for someone to come alongside you. Turn signals be damned if you let them between you and the curb it is YOUR fault (period). If you need more room find another way ( left turn from opposite direction ) or be prepared to suffer the possible consequences. At times you have to do what you have to do, unsafe manuevers are rarely neccesary though.
