Apparently my grandfather would do that, except he had usually pushed them up on his head

All four patients are snoring at the same rhythm and the same time,

First one, then two and one time three wanted to get up for the bathroom at the same time.

They think that the sleep tech is for room service.

The kids are screaming bloody murderduring hook up.

When I work in a supermarket I would hate when you have no customers for ages but 5 mins before closing you'd get a flood of people.

all your bills arrive at once and need to be paid on almost the same date?

People who drive 50kms below the speed limit but will not pull over where safe to let you pass.

running out of an essential food item (chocolate) and all the local stores are closed and the closest ones are a two hour round trip.

people who cough into their hand and then give you money with that hand

running out of dog food and having to share human food with them

Versions of this - As a receptionist, the phone barely rings all day. Two minutes before closing time, I get a call that can't be answered quickly and will take me past the time I am supposed to get off.

At work, I am hardly busy at all. Right before quitting time, boss decides something needs to be done yesterday.

When people claim that adaptation to pap therapy is mostly due to having a good attitude.

Ok, you all knew that was coming from me.

Welcome to My World─and be happy to be there; my wife's late husband went home at 42.

So to be clear, from his perspective, that would be "Don't you hate it when....", but from your view, that would be "Don't you love it when...."?

Time for a new thread!

You spend hours over the course of a few days fishing at the community centre's pool, but catch nothing while all the little kids are pulling out trout after trout. Ah well, fishing season is over at that pool for the year, and I'll just have to try again next year.

When my oldest grandson was 14 my brother and I took him camping in Canada. He just jumped out of the car and ran down the bank to fish. He was pulling out fish as fast as his hook hit the water. We noticed he was the only one catching any fish. Someone yelled at him, are you using live bait? He said I am using grasshoppers. We didn't know he couldn't use bugs. Maybe this is why kids catch more fish. We left quickly.

Exactly, all caps is shouting; and don't you hate it when companies hire twenty-year-olds to send their messages to you in 4 pt type; as if they're trying to save ink (just got one from Marriott alerting me to my upcoming stay─couldn't read it).

When you hide you car keys before you go on a trip and when you return, can't remember where you hit them.

If the teensy message is an email, try holding down control, while turning your scroll button.
Otherwise copy and past it into a text file, where you can change the size, font, color, whatever you like.
I know it's a PITA, but your reply to THEM can be even smaller!
