You would really hate me then. I pay for everything by credit card. I can carry the same $100 in my pocket for over a month.
By using my credit card to pay for things I have a record of what I have paid and the ability to cancel the payment if I find the product did not live up to its advertisement. I also earn a ton of air miles.
Two round trip business class tickets from Long Island to Seoul, Korea and from there to Sydney,Australia cost $32,000. I used my air miles to pay for them and they costs me nothing.

Credit cards I don't mind - they're usually pretty fast. It's waiting for people to fill out a check that drives me nuts. Especially when they could have at least filled out everything except for the amount while they were waiting.

I get pissed at people who go to the register that says ten items or less with a cart full of groceries.

Last week the woman behind us started loading up the belt while we were also still putting our groceries on it. By the end we had like one foot left to put our groceries on. Self-absorbed moron.

People who wait until the light turns green to signal a left-hand turn (right-hand for you, paul).

Tailgaters. Hate 'em. I can't count the number of times I've fantasized about having a device in the trunk that would project some noisome substance onto the vehicle that's trying to mate with mine at 75 mph on the freeway.

Funny you should say that,couple of weeks ago a guy swung across me,no signal,when he straightened up I noticed the one on the side of his car flashing,I guess he had a broken bulb.

You should try driving in Florida, Paul.
Florida is the only state where the left lane is considered the slow lane, That is, unless there are three cars on the road. Then they pace each other, each car going fifteen miles under the speed limit and staying even with each other.
At green light you can almost hear the people thinking, "Green light. What do I do? Oh, yes. Go." Most cars have three car yellows. Florida has one car greens.
No old man in a fedora or little old lady with blue hair ever signals when changing lanes. They figure, "I am old and I can do what ever I want as they suddenly, but slowly cross three lanes of traffic in order to exit, all the while talking on a cell phone.
Never get withing 100 feet of another car in Florida and never, never get within even 1,000 feet of a Volvo or any car being driven by a short man wearing a hat.

Actually, in my experience, the slowest vehicle on the road is not the Mercury Grand Marquis, nor the Lincoln Town Car, nor the Buick LeSabre, nor the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, but in fact is the Nissan Quest. This is a statistical oddity that I have yet to be able to account for.

Whats your pet hate:Korean drivers in general. Screw turn signals, screw lane markings, screw right-of-way rules... when they've got to get somewhere, none of those things matter.

Ah yes, Korean taxi drivers are better than any thrill ride at the carnival, especially if you tell them to hurry.

I don't think they sold enough of those to get a valid sampling size. I would've said the Toyota Camry - the Buick of the 21st Century.

EG: I went and was trying on a dress, come out of the change room and had my cousin zip up the dress. Well this guy was staring and walked his sorry butt into the display mannequin. LOL
I was so embarrassed I just said hi and ran back in the change room.

Guys that feel a need to correct everything they read. Get over it you knew what it meant. PFFT:woohoo:

Shortstuff, if I saw you in an unzipped dress I would probably walk into a mannequin too. Take it as a compliment.

The word wasn't used at the beginning of a sentence and thus should not be capitalized. Besides, by correcting her you are assuming the sex of the figure. Mannequin is the archaic term for a female, artificial fashion figure while manikin is the archaic term for a male, artificial fashion figure.
I'll stick up for you when that mean Borghunter picks on you, Shortstuff.

The manikin, not mannequin, unless it was a lesbian mannequin, was too busy looking at Shortstuff's bare back to see the person coming. It is all Shortstuff's fault for prancing around the store half naked.

well to Borghunter and Evakian;
If you look up the word manikin and Mannequin can both be correct and both are spelt correctly. SO BITE ME..... As for spelling I think I do just fine and really couldn't give a rats ass if I spell the odd word here or there incorrect. So I guess you will have to deal. lol:flowers:

OMG Frogger thanks I think, lol:flowers:
Well I wouldn't say I was walking around the store half naked but OK, I will own that, HEHE It was kinda nice for the ego especially with all I have had going on this last couple weeks. As for the young ones oh well one day they will learn, LMAOROTF:rolleyes:

Paul:
Well I am sure when all is said and done the guy felt a but dumber then me. He was the one who had to help pick up the display. I just got to go back in the change room and giggle at the events.
Peeves:
Being told how to do something not given the courtesy of being shown how to do it. Most women aren't stupid! We can follow directions most times better then men.
