What's Your definition of an A..hole

I have a long list
here's a sample


Someone who won't let you merge
Tailgaters
Someone who honks .5 seconds after the light turns green
People who crinkle cellophane wrapers during movies
People who use the EZ Pass lane to avoid the change lane only to end up blocking the EZ pass lane to cut in
etc., etc.,

An overwhelming number of drivers

A good number of users on internet forums, not limited to this one. The computer enables a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise flap their gums to do so with impunity.

People with "entitlement" issues who think they deserve something simply because they aren't happy with their current situation

I am included of the first two from time to time.

people who don't have money or or debit card ready at grocery store
people who still write checks at cashiers
people who have 50 items and insist on using self check-out at grocery store (not to mention it's way too damn complicated for them).

How about the person in the supermarket who blocks the aisle while they chat on their cell-phone with one hand and sip their starbucks with the other?

Yes. The opening at the other end of your intestines from your mouth.


Since we're using traffic as a benchmark for A-holiness how about the
people who stop on a Hwy on ramp for no earthly reason. Then they can't
get on the damn hwy because they stopped. I HATE those people!

People who come late to a general admission show, sneak in the back way, and proceed to plop down in space that only one person could fit and expect everyone to accomodate them. Everyone being the very people who arrived early and stood in line in the heat to get the good seats. Had this happen last week.

Yea! I pretend to be looking at items and run into them. "Sorry, didn't see you blocking the isle." "Hope you can get that stain out."

Guilty. My wife likes to bag things a certain way and the majority of idiots at the checkout screw it up, even if we group things together. Then again, the only time we require assistance is for something that triggers age verification. Self check out is not designated for a maximum amount of items.

Yeah, where do those a-holes get off driving those kinds of cars.
