Exactly.

Lottery ticket buyers at the convenience store. Have a gaddam idea what you want before you get to the counter you stupid ****! The line was moving just great until your stupid ass got to the front and now it's gone from 3 people to 12 while you pick 2 from the 14 games you're going to lose your welfare money on anyway. Son-of-a-bitch I have to get back to work you ****ing ignoramous! Just buy some more chewing tobacco and die from mouth cancer so you won't **** the whole line over anymore!

Btw did you know that the chances of actually winning are the same as the chances of getting mauled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day? Get mauled ****sticks!

I was once a couple minutes into the little old lady going through this routine when I ponied up the dime (think she needed 6 cents). She was gracious about it, as I said something very polite to help more things along, which was good since I half expected her to be insulted. My wife gives me this look and I was like "life is too short to waste spending extra time standing in line to pay for freaking groceries" (or whatever it was we were buying).

People that recline their seats on airplanes.

[bevischief]

People who can't drive the speed limit. People who block my view of the TV. Whatever else I decide that pisses me at that time. Beware when my arthritis kicks in I am super moody.

[trndobrd]

People who chew ice.

People who don't understand the difference between 'reply' and 'reply all'.

Strangers who try to strike up a conversation in the mens room.

Anyone at any store who gets in front of me at the checkout, then gets in an argument with the cashier about the price of an item.

Idiots who walk their dogs without a leash because 'he would never hurt anybody'. Especially hate when they charge at me.

This...Especially when I'm walking my dog and have to do everything in my power to stop him from eating said dog without a leash...

Pepper spray?

I've had a lot fewer problems with this type issue since I've obtained my CCW.

If you aren't careful, this one can get you an early exit visa from a company. Imagine replying about how much of a douche you think someone is for what they have said in an email chain, only to realize that you copied them in on it.

I worked for a giant company years ago and that happened to some poor bastard. He had an X rated joke he intended to pass onto "a few friends" and things went terribly wrong.

He hit the reply all and thousands of people got his joke, from the CEO on down. The regional ended up saving his job, but there was a catch.

The guy had to get up in front of the entire company at the national meeting and not only apologize, but he had give a 30 minute lecture to thousands of people on how to be a PC and the error of his evil ways.

The poor bastard was up there stuttering and was sweating like a whore in church, he was in full panic mode. It was so bad that I seriously thought he was going to have a grabber and drop dead up on the stage.

You're obviously in line somewhere and somebody either gets reeeaaall close behind you or they start to slither in front of you. I want to say "if you try to cut in front of me I will cut your throat"

Wow....that's tough.

We all have the "stupid" moments at work where we wish we could have stopped ourselves. I once accidentally forgot I was leaving a voice message on the phone of our HR person. While I was talking I noticed that a team member I had an earlier counseling session with left me a "lovely" note on my desk telling me she quit. It was not your normal goodbye letter, including some personal insults that crossed the line. I had forgotten to end my voice message so my "that b****" was caught on the VM by the HR person.

Needless to say, I was called to the office and properly chastised. I don't blame the HR person for what she had to do, especially since she cut me some slack after reading the note.

But I had to complete an online course as a punishment...which really wasn't all that bad.

Yeah, I think I would have broke out the Johnny Paycheck and told them to take this job and shove it, before I stood up in front of 1000's of people and I don't even mind public speaking.

As far as your deal, I think everyone has had one of those oooops moments at work at one time or another. As time has passed, everything has become a lot more PC and the HR people are a lot more involved.
