YES I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THIS

I hate this so much! It's so rude. No one cares about your conversation or your life. It's also rude to be on your phone while going through checkout at a store. Hangup and be courteous to the people waiting on you. If you can't do that stay home and browse Amazon ffs.

What gets me is the ones who signal... after they're already half way into the new lane... like what's the point, we already know you're changing lanes...

It always happens when people try to complicate a recipe...leave it simple, just the basics. Once it's done right it'll taste amazing.

This annoys me to no end. Walking through the car park and there are carts everywhere. The collection point isn't that far away people...geez.

Also, was $9.99....now $9.99...what a great deal. This wasn't usually the custom here but I've begun to see some stores doing it and it is very annoying.

This is a very USA problem.

We shouldn't be taxed on sales. We're already taxed on income. This is double taxation and should be abolished.

never done in the US since the tax rates vary by town to town & also state to state... buying the same item out of the city limits can save 1% of the cost, worth the drive on a big-ticket item...

I don't know how you cope in the states, we (Europe) just pay the indicated price.

Come to Oregon. No sales tax, so price in the store is the same as price at the register.

Disagree! The consumer should get to know how much of the price burden is from those they elect ( or voted against). Imagine tax rates the more they are hidden.

No cause some products cost the same to the retailer no matter what state they're in but state taxes are not the same in every state

Or the “we’ve kept the price the same!” But don’t mention that the package is 10%-20% smaller.

Tax varies by state, by county, by city and town. And the store clerks aren’t maths efficient, so the register/computer has to do it.

SO stupid that it's not - let's get with it USA!!!!

Literally every country in the world except the US has figured this out.

10 bucks for water

In Europe it is

It's included here in Australia. When I travel to the U.S. I feel deceived whenever I buy something,

What about when the bulk item is proportionally more expensive than the small one? Always check people!

I prefer to have the tax separately so I can know who is ripping me off government or business.

Yes! Agree agree agree.

That can cost the consumer more when buying several low price taxables if the tax is applied before the change is added together.

Substitute "person" for "kids." There are more kids I'd rather hang around than grown-ups. I think a-holes are just a-holes.

One that annoys me..."Fewer" and "number of" are used with things that can be counted. "Less" and "amount of" are used with things that can be measured. Fewer calories and less fat. Number of people, but amount of water.

What is miracle whip?

Unless you have cats

I never thought about it this way but he's not wrong. Now I can't get the image of some guy in a yankees outfit going "I CAST BASEBALL WITH MY POWERFUL BAT OF BASEBALLING!!!" out of my head.

Other common redundancies: ATM machine, shrimp scampi, pita bread, chai tea...

I saw a Tiktok yesterday that said a car company either already has started or is thinking about charging you a subscription fee to use features in your car, like heated seats... John Deere has something like this, a farmer buys a super expensive tractor but is not allowed to fix it themselves, it has to be taken to a licensed John Deere mechanic.

I thought most people thought this..? You know just on a practicality factor of not getting mold, you can wash bath mats but you can't just rip up the whole carpet and put it in the washing machine!

Yes. Seen way too many “Reighleigh”s in my life

A thousand upvotes. The macaroon is awful. The macaron is, when done well, sublime. And I'd hardly rate it as a "sandwich cookie" like it's an Oreo. It's gorgeous and amazing and is not just a lot of coconut held together by sugar.

There are about 100 films I feel the same way about. Please don't turn the Godfather into a musical on ABC. Or remake Apocalypse Now with Timothee Chalamet and Finn Wolfhard. No no no.

I'm generally asocial, but large groups of people make me antisocial.

I used to say "Advocado" instead of "Avocado". Mine could win a lawsuit after all...

True. Not just for bottled water. Tap water in different cities tastes, completely different. I can't stand to drink the tap water in the city I am, currently, living.

Yep, store bought stuff is coated in crappy anti-caking agents to stop the pieces sticking together in the bag. Nasty.

Yeah, if you have knobs and buttons then you can get to the one you want by feel without ever taking your eyes off the road...

I feel this about the song from the sound of music "these are a few of my favorite things". It's not a Christmas song! Why do they play it every Christmas?!

Does anyone else get a weird anxiety when they have to do voice commands? Like...a sort of embarrassment?

If it bites you and you die, it was venomous. If you bite it and you die, it was poisonous.

Mind-blown. Good one!

Totally agree. Loiter outside the venue (especially restaurants), trying to entice me in and I WILL cross the road to avoid you and take my business elsewhere. It's weird, annoying and sometimes creepy.

But what if the ATM Machine needs my PIN number at 7am in the morning?

Why does the sign have quotation marks? And for that matter, punctuation.
