I just LOVE going into a convenience store to buy a single item...
...and getting stuck behind some jerk-off spending half his paycheck on lottery tickets! :grr::nuke::mad:

So, what do YOU "love?"

2. YES!! That happens to me ALL THE TIME! Plus,
they seem to always do their scratch offs right at the counter, without moving out of the way.

I also hate being on an elevator (I work on the 14th floor, and have to use the elevator frequently) and some idiot always gets on to go up ONE LEVEL. Stairs! If you are not handicapped, anything less than 4 floors are stair material, imho.

3. I hate when that happens
They really should have seperate cashiers; one for lottery and one for other things.

I feel your pain!

4. It's worse when they're paying their "dumb" tax at the gas station
"I'll take 10 quick picks, 10 with these numbers, 6 scratch and wins, 2 double bonus cards, 8 powerballs.." Give it a rest idiot, I just want to pay for my freaking gas.

5. ATM's
I'm sorry but I hate being behind some jerk doing 3 months worth of banking at an ATM.

Their only purpose in life is to get money out of them (and the odd deposit)

You only need 60 seconds at an ATM.

Punch in numbers, get money and run. THAT IS IT!!!!

8. I know that feeling...
I always end up somebody who seems to be doing a bullion transfer in Nairobi, via his swiss bank account, and drawing out the proceeds one note at a time.

That or the guy trying 7 different cards, hoping one of them has some credit left (which they don't). :nuke:

6. I call then "Scratcher Morons".
Idiots that stare through the glass counter window like they are making a serious life-decision. Several minutes later, after they buy the tickets, they scratch them off while you wait behind them, mumbling something undiscernable, them discovering that they won a couple free tickets or $1.00 option, and go through the same ritual again.
I hate those people!

9. heh, in FL, you can't scratch at the counter.
if the people in line don't give the dummies a hard time for taking their time, the clerks will. pretty funny sometimes.
