How freaking inconsiderate!!!!!!

Or talk real loud in the hallway so they wake everyone at 7:00 am when you have only been asleep for two hours.

A long time ago, me and some friends decided to stay one more night in vegas over thanksgiving weekend and were able to get a room at the old showboat on boulder highway. While the 4 of us are trying to decide what to do (eat, gamble, sleep) we hear some very loud women coming down the hall and when they get to our room we hear one women shout "OH I FORGOT MY NIPPLES!!!" and runs down the hallway. It was the following morning that I realized she said nickels.

my pet peeve happens in casinos and elsewhere... people who get off escalators and dont quickly walk away from the landing. several times there has been a "jam." a couple of years ago at NYE there was a "jam" on the escalator coming from the ballroom and about a dozen people fell, some had cut legs from hitting the escalator steps.

at a shopping center here in LA about a year ago, I had to push the emergency stop button when an old couple could not walk quickly enough from the landing and people were about to fall on top of them.

Guilty as charged. And I slap the buttons.

I bet you wear stinky cologne with baggy pants and block the elevator too.

I can always aspire to a higher level of annoyance.

I hate it when people try to give me advice on how to play my blackjack cards. I have basic strategy down cold, and don't need to be told when to hold or when to take a card, when to split or when to double down. My favorite (not) is for people who get upset when you take a card when you have a twelve and the dealer is showing a 2 or a 3, which is absolutely the right play.

I hate the "crab leg hogs" at the buffet....you know the ones that pile about 8 inches of crab legs on their plate. Sometimes they even set them up like lincoln logs in a criss cross pattern so they can build a structurally sound tower - like they're making a sculpture of the Stratosphere or something. Meanwhile you have to wait 10 minutes for the next batch. Hello! You are allowed to make a second trip if you want more.

I sometimes fantasize about throwing a hip check into one of those people as they make their way back to their seat. I envison crab legs flying accross the room like a flock of freed doves. It helps alleviate the fit of buffet rage I get in such instances.

"Buffet rage"

Good one! You may have coined a new phrase.

If I were interviewing a person dressed like that the interview would be a short one and I would tell them that they won't be considered for the job regardless of how well qualified they are. If I had a daughter whose date showed up dressed like that I would tell the guy that he won't date my daughter until he can learn to wear his pants normally.

I agree.
A word of advice:
The lecture will work for your daughter's dates.
But for baggy-drawered applicant, just smile and keep it to yourself.
Otherwise, you'll have an EEO complaint on your desk by sundown.
Consider yourself lucky when they dress like that for the interview.
You might have hired them and their lousy work ethic.

When in LV, I enjoy a cigar from time to time. When I do, I ALWAYS ask before I sit down if it is going to bother anybody (If so, I find somewhere else, it is a huge city)...With that being said.....If I am smoking already, and you sit down next to me and start to complain!!!!! Hold on, because I can make a lot of smoke if I try hard enough!
