Vein Popper #73 - People who can't read simple signs

I've got a couple examples of these supremely annoying people that can give tropical skin diseases lessons on irritation!

Example 1. People who can not follow simple traffic signs. Such as "No Left Turns" or "One Way". I've been cut off several times by idiots coming out of the drive through at our local Tim Hortons. There is a big old sign saying "No Left Turns" but I would have to say 90% of the people coming out of there make exactly that! The icing on this blood pressure rising cake is they have the gull to flip ME the bird or honk. I've even been followed to my destination so the person could get out and yell at me. I actually welcome these little diversions though for you see, I can be one intimidating SOB when push comes to shove. Lets just say the little punk left with his tale between his legs and a VERY embarassed looking girlfriend.

Example 2. When I worked in a grocery store, I always hated when some customer (usually ladies around 40ish) would rush in 5 minutes before closing and say they just needed to grab a few things. This is when they would proceed to pull out a list that if fully unrolled, would cross several time zones. It's not like the store times weren't clearly marked! It's on the bloody door you came in through! These shoppers would rush around the store for the most part LOOKING like they were speed shopping, but this in fact was a total illusion. If you looked carefully, they always had something in their hand but most of the time, it would not make it into the cart. They would also always hit the deli last so all the wrapped meats that had been prepared for the night would have to be reopened to get 2-3 slices of each one. SO FRUSTRATING! Lastly, the customer would always have to make some comment about feeling "rushed" out of the store as they were leaving. NO DUH! At this point, it's usually 45 mins after closing. Next time, READ THE SIGN!
