What Annoyed You Today?

The usual people that come into the store. We get the cream of the crop of fools and idiots. Don't know if I posted this before, but the other day I had a gentleman that refused to show his I.D. to buy smokes. (This is not only policy, but it is the law here. Any age, I.D., if I don't, I could get a 10,000.00 fine.) He called me a few 14 letter names and then ran out.... He came back in today and pulled the same thing. I said, "No I.D., no smokes."
A few more 12 to 14 letter names and he was out the door again.
Really? He must have recognized me!
Silly fool.
 
Same thing here in the ACT, booze or smoke, got to have the I.D. and no excuses.

And what annoyed me today, another misty morning and I had to get out of bed.
 
Hey, someone wants to card me for smokes or alcohol, I'm more than happy to show it...makes me feel like a kid again! :lol:

On the other hand, if they don't want to show thier I.D., then they're most likely up to no good...

That law is news to me, we ID people who appear 'underage' but, that's all. Perhaps we should follow the US and Aus lead. Seems to make sense eh.

Sorry, maybe I should clarify. ID needs to be shown if requested, needless to say an old codger like me is never asked. But then again when I was a very young snap of 6 foot plus, even in pub's I was never challenged, yet my shorter mates were!
 
Sun Microsystems, that's what is annoying me today! Particulalry the a$$wipe that designed the CPU module connector for the Sunfire 280R system. Flimsy connector smooshes pins when you try to plug in a proc, then nothing works and pins are very fragile when you try to straighten them!!! Think I'm going to take an early lunch so I can bang my head against a brick wall for an hour or so.
 
Most convenience stores here require ID for tobacco and alcohol. Store policy, not law. If you sell to a minor they fine the $hit out of you and fire the clerk usually. So store just says everybody cough it up and then there is no beef. Gov't sends in shills to buy alcohol all the time who purposely look underage. I don't blame them.

ha... cricket binds the Commonwealth together, is thoroughly enjoyed and watched by millions.The unbridled joy we feel beating the Aussies is matched by their joy at beating us :)
Its a game of guile, skill and courage.
Its lent a whole dictionary of metaphors to the English language too...

Friendship in cricket? ummm... its gloves of time.
