I swear people in supermarkets have this telepathic way of knowing exactly where I'm going. Mainly old people who can't move too well. They see me move with a purpose towards frozen foods and send out an alert on their Jitterbug phones "Sandman is headed for the French fries, right flank move out!" I get there, two people in Rascals and three grocery carts are blocking the door. Everybody chit-chatting like it's their 70th high school reunion. That's the meat wall phenomenon, and it happens to me as well. It's like they see the future and know just what aisle to clog up. Speaking of old people, I hate going to the store on what I've termed "Old peoples' day", usually Tuesdays. You have not known frustration until you're stuck behind two old ladies who decided to completely block up a nice wide aisle by walking veeeeeery slooooooowly side by side with their walkers. At least have some courtesy and walk behind each other!

Why does nobody know how to make pancakes anymore? Every time I look up a new recipe online they call for WAY too little liquid, making the batter thick and cakey. Pancake batter is supposed to flow, you're not supposed to be fighting to get it off the ladle.

In Canada, everyone rushes to Tim Hortons in the morning to get coffee before work. So it's quite common to have lineups of 10-15 people. It's the unwritten rule, that you order your coffee, have your money ready and GTFO. But there's always that one yahoo that has to order 3 dozen donuts and individually pick them as if he's playing Deal or No Deal. Buy the time he finishes his order, the line is now 3 miles long. Even more annoying, there have been studies that show you'll get your coffee quicker if you actually go inside.

When the US Office had the last episode it made no sense why theu didn't have Michael, Kelly, and Ryan for the Q&A part of the episode, but they had f***ing Pete and that other f***er who were there for only 1 season. Dwight Jr? Kelly and Ryan ran away together earlier in the episode. Michael Scott... hmm. Maybe he had to get home to his kids? But flying out and then flying back hours later is a bit weird. If I remember right, the Q&A happened before the wedding.

When I order a sausage McMuffin the clerk ALWAYS asks if I want it with egg. I would have told you if I did, damnit. When the person in line behind/in front of me at the store insists on grabbing the divider for the conveyor belt even when there is three feet of space between our items.

I picked up a whole duck to make my famous Peking Duck with at the grocery store last night:
Cashier looks at the duck and says "yuck who would ever want to eat a duck?" And then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a turkey or chicken instead.
I literally had to say "Just put the duck in the bag".

Duck is delicious.

I had been talking to a girl on POF lately and yesterday, we had a back-and-forth conversation. It got to a point that I asked for her number and then after that, she didn't reply. That just annoyed me.

I believe that it's part of the training since a lot of times people will just say mcmuffin when they want an egg mcmuffin I picked up a whole duck to make my famous Peking Duck with at the grocery store last night: Cashier looks at the duck and says "yuck who would ever want to eat a duck?" And then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a turkey or chicken instead. I literally had to say "Just put the duck in the bag". WTF? That is a really stupid thing for a cashier (or well, anyone) to say. Duck is delicious. It's also none of the cashier's business what you're eating...

I remember like, a year ago, I heard "all star" by Smashmouth. Didn't annoy me but it was a stark reminder I'm old.
Also "Just put the duck in the bag" is some awesome action hero line shit.

I remember coming across a Green Day song on the oldies station once a couple of years ago. Never felt more ancient in my entire life then right then.

My local "Classic Hits" station plays 90's Nirvana, Weezer, Greenday and STP all the time. If you are 40 and you heard it in high school on a regular rock station... it's now the same stuff on the Classic station. And yes it's the best local station by far.

Like the 20th anniversary edition of Toy Story last year, or the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park this year. Wrestler ages are starting to get me too. Getting to the point where I'm older than a good chunk of them (I'm 32)

I am assuming the locals do not know how to read. Every indie show I vend at I make sure every item for sale has a big brightly colored sticker with the price on it. But every show I have at least 5 people ask how much something cost. I could understand if it was a young kid. But it is usually adults near my age.
Another is people that claim to be a big fan of say comics. But keep reading a comic they hate. If I don't like a comic I stop reading it. But then look at how many people hate WWE and/or TNA. And watch it every week. I am sure I got way more free time than most people, but even with more free time I am not going to spend it watching something I don't like.

The office coffee pot does not turn off automatically, and I'm the only one who bothers to turn it off. If I forget, I come in in the morning to a nicely burnt layer of coffee.
It smells TERRIBLE when you wash it.
