Don't sell cigarettes when you are working. See how I solved that for you? When you come on shift, quit selling the products that annoy you when they are consumed in the lounge your employer provides. Remove them at the beginning of your shift. Tell those asking that you don't sell those. Put them back when your shift ends.
If your employer objects to that, you have a couple choices, suck it up, Buttercup, whinge on about it, or get that resume sharpened up for another part time job at a tobacconist that doesn't dig the ciggy smoke.

Wait... nevermind.

And at least every couple of years, never fails, a car plows through a big group of them and a bunch of people get hurt bad or killed. Then they all say the same thing, we were all single file, obeying traffic rules,blah, blah, blah. Yeah, right. I see what you do every day.

I almost ran over an old man this morning because he tried to come flying across the street from the sidewalk while I was YIELDING, not STOPPING, to merge into oncoming traffic. Dude looks at me like I did something wrong. Uh, when you're on the sidewalk, you yield to moving traffic. Jackazz.

All depends on the situation.

Of course bikers should follow traffic laws.... In the end, there are just as many jerk drivers and cyclist. The Earth is covered with idiots, they use all sorts of transportation. Hating all cyclists is like hating all drivers....

I find it hard to believe that a driver who plows through a group of cyclists wasn't the one breaking traffic laws.... Guess it could happen, I just can't picture the situation....

I could tell from your post that you ride and I'm glad to hear that you are one that follows the laws. Not doing so puts everyone at danger, and that's my peeve.

Let me be clear about this, I said nothing about hating all cyclists. So if you're trying to take my post there, don't, you're wasting your time. I'm with you on the idiot factor.

It's quite a sight to see about 40 of them trying to make the light. Trust me, in this area, nothing on the road surprises me.

People who are already bad drivers, trying to window shop and talk on their cell phones at the same time.

Telephones in general and cell phones in particular. I didn't even have a land-line until I got married. It's a machine that demands your immediate attention no matter what you're doing, and people only call you when they want something. I've known people to get out of the shower to answer the damned phone. I friggin' hate 'em!

When driving in the left lane on the interstate, I want to smack the driver in front of me that slows down to allow a semi wanting to go 1mph faster than the 4 semis in front of him because he has his turn signal on.

Yeap! Me too! Just because they are bigger, doesn't mean they own the road or have the right away.

You would not think that way if you have driven those big trucks. You can always just punch it after he's done and get back to where you would have been.

People who pass you and cut you off and then slow down in front of you... now there is a good use for a device that fries the electronics of whatever you aim it at.
