Pet Peeves

[samsfresh5]

people who look at me like I'm nuts when they come in the door at the 930 club and ask me why I'm asking them for their ID when they have gray hair and are "obviuosly over 21"   ...and I have to explain to them that we are an all ages club with a liquor license that is hard to have for an all-ages venue, and that dc law requires anyone who is drinking to have an id, regardless of age, and they STILL look at me like I'm an idiot.. even though it is not my law/rules.
 
 people who ask me "so what's good coming to the 930 club?"  
 
 ...my canned response.. "what's 'good'?"

When people step into my personal space/work area without asking or even acknowledging me.  At my old job it was people coming around to my side of the desk, and at my current job its  people coming into my cube and crowding really close behind me looking over my shoulder, before even acknowledging me.  Either knock and say "hey" or go around to the other side and look over!

bands who are allowed to perform covers of any Beatles songs.

When people start telling stories and get sidetracked and don't finish them...oh god.
 
 And bad drivers on cell phones, wtf??  If it's that important, pull the hell over...

Soup slurpers are even worse.

Or people in the locker room who sit on the benches naked.

People with poor concert etiquette, namely those that talk through the entire show.

Sports media coverage of poker. Poker is not a sport  :mad: .

I put a towel on the bench and sit on that.
 
 And at least I've got a towel, unlike the morons who drip ten gallons of water all over the bench areas. I wonder if they do that at home?

hookers who walk around wearing literally nothing in the freezing cold.

Discussions about CD Artwork... oh wait wrong forum  
 
 How about Re-issues.  Elvis Costello and David Bowie being the worst offenders  I believe Costello will be going for a third or fourth round soon.  How much more remastering or bonus material can they dig up...

  Lazy people who stand on the left side of Metro escalators, thereby blocking the way for those people who wish to walk.

Residents who get all huffy, roll their eyes, and push briefcases into tourists who stand on the left side of that tiny escalator that goes to the platform from the entry gates.  You know, the escalator that's about 9 steps total, 11 seconds long (7 seconds if you walk rather than stand).  The train's not coming, they're from South Carolina, chill the fuck out.

The answer is probably as much as people are willing to buy again and again.
