So called educated people who say "these ones" or "those ones", I shudder when I hear it!
Trivial things that annoy you intensely. (Part 3)

Every time I go to my corner shop when I get to the till the price is different to the one I've worked it out to be. The till price is usually over by a few pennies. I use the calculator on my ipod to double check the costs so pretty sure I'm right.
The shop was empty today so I questioned the staff member and he started writing down numbers and calculating in his head that yes the till was correct, he didn't seem the brightest bulb and he could have been poor at maths.
Anyway I don't wanna spend time looking like a tightarse talking about a few pence but it's still wrong and I have barely any money atm so yes I'd like my pennies back from each shop I've done there.
Too late now, harrumph

And when you are standing there all cold, wet and miserable someone will come up to you and say "Are you waiting for the bus?"

Are you sure the prices you had correlated with those on the till? I only ask because this happens at work and it's mostly because someones left an old label with the old price still on it.
Flippin' annoying when it happens

Everything here is a small family owned business. They've retired quite happily and have sold the business on if you had read my post

What should they say?

The shop doesn't have any labels so I just use the prices which are on the shelves. And take into account the discounts/offers too.
I'm currently annoyed about when you have a row with a mate and they have been rude, then they expect you to apologise. No way.
When you have something real important in hand, like say a Sansa Clip mp3 player. You're distracted for just a mo and when you go back for the player you find it's disappeared to godknowswhereland. Crap like this happens to me like every frikkin day. And with it big black it can easily be hiding in plain site, dammit. Bugger!! So I go round each and every room searching for the darn thing (not checked the bathroom but that'll come soon enough), then check again cos maybe I didn't check properly enough the first place......[nope, not in the bathroom]. All I wanted to do was listen to some tunes without bothering the neighbours but that's shot to sht. Bugger
People who preface a rebuttal with 'so what you're basically saying is:' and then proceed to put words in your mouth so they can compartmentalise your argument into something easier that they already have a response to.
No. What I'm basically saying is what I just ****ing said.

Either "these" or "those". "Ones" is not necessary and sounds awful.
People who eat pungent food on buses e.g. A tuna cheese melt, or cheese and onion sandwiches.
People who have seemingly left the house without showering on the bus
People with the worst taste in music thinking everybody else on the bus wants to hear that shit
People who, despite seeing these on my head (which are without question the greatest headphones ever created), still ask me questions
My neighbour swearing at her six year old kid who is so sweet and liked by all the other kids on the street
My depression preventing me from writing

Exactly. When I'm doing a weekly shop and am listening to music, shop workers insisting on "Good Morning" me when it should be obvious that I can't hear them, then get all offended that I'm blanking them. Wearing headphones should be taken as akin to wearing a sign around your neck with "Just Leave Me Be" written all big 'n bold.

I'm quite glad to see people not showering on the bus!

You can all rest easy, it has been found, and thankfully before I went thru the tied up bin bags. Everything is right in the world once again, well mostly.
