| The person at a Comic Con who is ahead of you at the line to drop off submissions. He has a dolly with plastic totes and he’s getting all of them graded. While I stand behind him trying to submit 2 books. | ||

| Here's my best "Canadian asking American to ship to Canada" story Like most ebay auctions based in the US, a particular US seller didn't list if he is willing to ship to Canada or not, so I reached to him and asked (95% of the time, they are willing) The seller got back to me and said, "I don't like shipping over seas". I sent a two word reply "We're attached" It's a running joke here in Canada that Americans are bad at geography, but this particular case had an extra "WOW" factor in that he lived in a state that BORDERED with Canada. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| People that stop at the beginning of a merge lane and wait for an opening in traffic to pull straight into the main lane of traffic, instead of you know, actually using the merge lane as it is intended to be used by driving in it and getting up to speed to merge seamlessly into traffic. This just drives me batty! | ||

| The woke movement. Cancel culture. Scam phone calls. Self check out when 10 employees are standing around doing nothing. My wife at certain times. Red light when I’m the only person at the intersection. This just scratches the surface, apparently I am easily annoyed. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave True hypocrites are a very small percentage of people on one end of the spectrum (ex: Preach vegetarianism but eat steak when no one is looking). The other end of the spectrum is rigid ideological adherence (The vegetarian who would rather everyone starve to death than eat meat). That's also a small percentage of people. The healthy middle of the spectrum would be "rationally inconsistent", based on circumstances (opposed to stealing, but understand that some circumstances call for it). Most of us exist just a bit to one side or other of the middle. People on both extreme ends of the spectrum are probably equally pathological...and grind my gears. |

| Those sh&tty CGC doodles/Remarque/whatever on an already busy cover. You can't even see the freakin' art blended in with the busy cover. And using whiteout to have the Remarque standout. <face palm> - talk about destroying a comic. I don't know what rationality is in folks heads sometimes. Use the blank/sketch covers folks! That's what they're created for |

| People who pull out comic books in back issue bins then proceed to remove the tape to pull the book out of the bag and board to inspect it without asking if they can do that first. I've never done that. Even at cons I ask can I inspect books when they hit the $100 mark and I always ask the vendor to remove the book and put it back in the bag. |
