...minor, to be sure, but c'mon...one penny? Maybe you cashiers in the audience can shed some light on this ^^;;

Tiffu is right. Breaking a 100$ is a pain at the movie theatre. We have to take it to box office, get it checked in case it's counterfit, then get change for it, and then we have to go back, make sure its right, count out the money, and i always forget 80 when i get to it

and then punch it into the cash register....WHY DO YOU BRING A 100 DOLLAR BILL TO A MOVIE!!!??? There is an ATM and you can pop out a 20$! It's just that plain simple!

On the other extreme, you can come out a few cents short when paying for something!

I get annoyed at this one line:

"It's really aimed at teens." *dies*

^_~ T'would be a big help to both you and the cashier.

I also hate parents who come into the store and try to use their kids to their advantage. I love kids. But I hate when parents use them to try and rip you off.
example:

When parents bring their kids up to buy their candy, and they have a certain amount to spend...say, 2 bucks. The kid's total comes to like, 3.50. The kid just stares at you with these huge eyes, silently, and the parents look at you expectedly, as if they expect me to either magically change the price or put in the rest myself. WTF? It's not MY kid.

Another situation. This man got this HUGE ice cream cone for his like, toddler son. This kid could barely walk let alone handle something this big. I suggested a bowl; he didn't want a bowl. So I gave him the ice cream. They left the store, and about 5 minutes later, the father came back in.
(father) He dropped his ice cream. I need another one.
(tiff) okay. *dips a new cone* that'll be 1.56.
(father) ....i have to pay for it?
(tiff)..yes, sir.
(father) *HUFF* well, I thought you'd show a little COMPASSION for the little guy. *PAYS* *STORMS OUT*

Okay, again. WTF. It's not my fault the kid dropped it. now, if a child drops the ice cream as soon as I hand it to them, then yeah, I give em a new scoop. But he paid for it, and the kid dropped it outside. It's no longer myr esponsbility. What, becauseh e's little and cute, i'm supposed to compensate?

I hate it when the food falls off my fork/spoon and lands on my chothes right as I'm about to take a bite!

I hate drug commercials. They all have silly pill names to begin with, and they never, ever, EVER tell you what the drug does. I'm not sure if half of them are Viagra clones or what. But the commercials seem to imply that if I take these pills, I could gain the powers of all the X-Men. Just ask my doctor today!

LMAO Derek said that just the other day. He was like"...WTF..I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE DRUG IS!!"

Yeah, medicine commercials are annoying. Ditto for weight loss products.

When people assume I'm under the age of 10 -_- I'm 16, 6 months, and 3 days! AND DAMN PROUD! And then the younger kids that are thought to be 17 and are like 12! EVIL! Old people do that to me -_- Hate them. Oh! And people who drive slow in the fast lane. Not just slow, UNDER the speed limit!

Eh, it's good to sort of look and act like a kid now and then. A few days before graduation, me and a few friends went to Carousel Mall (where I made that night famous for linking my GBA up to the one in Best Buy to play multiplayer Mario Bros. ^^;;;;; ) and my friend Steve had some $5 gift certificates for tokens in the basement arcade, which he got from my brother earilier that day. The guy working there wouldn't let him get the tokens for some reason saying they were only for kids. Steve hunts me down, give me the certificate, and instant tokens for Dan. ^_^

I get annoyed...
-when I don't act on my ideas as soon as I get them and know they are good ideas, then someone else does, even tho really they weren't acting on MY idea, since I no longer divulge my ideas until I think it's the "right time" (because people were acting on my ideas a lot quicker after I told them I was "thinking about doing (whatever))they are acting on their own ideas that are remarkably similar to mine.
-when I get pennies or nickels. I hate them. I don't really know why. I think they are the most worthless coins on the face of the earth. Quarters are good. Dimes have the potential to be good, but pennies and nickels? They suck.
-when it gets late at night and my hands don't type what my brain says, so I end up making LOTS of typos.
-when people steal video games from the boxes and the cashier doesn't check, and I don't check either, then you find out you spent $20 on a nice cardbord box. (A PLUS, however, was that they totally exchanged it at the store when I brought it back and said it was all their fault because they didn't check.)
-by songs I hear more than twice a day, doubly so if I hear them twice or more ON THE SAME CHANNEL.
-when people I'm getting to know have a different sense of personal space than I do. I've got this new friend, she's a great person, but she just gets too close inside my "personal bubble."

...When people post a great deal of times in a message board and don't add hardly anything to the discussion.

I think my favorites are when the drug's side effects are listed as doing what you want the drug to do. For instance, laxatives. Side effects may include: constipation (what? I'm taking it FOR constipation!!!), diarrhea (which is what I want, ne?), other non-important stuff. It really bugs me!

Heh, my mother and my sister are both so much shorter than me, that I always pick on them for it. One time, when we were at a restruant, ordering our food, it was my sister's time to order, and the waiter asked her, "what can I get you, little one?" It's funny cause my sister's 21, but she looks like she's 10, and I'm taller then her, even though I'm younger (I'm 18 ) . I also hate it when I buy an expsensive DVD boxset, but it turns out to be defectice, so you send it in the mail to have it exchanged for a better copy, but you sent it off almost two months ago! Grr. Stupid ADV Films. Sorry for going off-topic here, but I don't want to start a whole new thread just for one, small question, but how long does it normally take ADV Films to exchange something that you send to them? Once again, my apologizes for going off topic here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'd chalk it up to the fact that they're a big corporation and honestly didn't get to your request until then. Compared to some of the other things they have to take care of, i'm sure the request for a new SM DVD is probably low on their priority list.

~When I'm going the speed limit and there's another car following right behind me, shining his lights on me (which reflect off my mirrors and blast me in the face). I don't care if you want to speed, but I'm not going to, so deal with it.
