There’s a special place in hell for…

OH OH!

I'm in the mega-mart aka Walmart or Fry's-the local Krogers, and we just have to leave our buggy/cart smack-dab in the middle of the aisle to:

A) chat with a friend
B) reach across to the opposite side of the aisle for an item, then have to read every inch of the label and then put that dang thing back and reach for another
C) leave the buggy/cart and go back to the other end of the aisle
D) take a phone call on their cell and the speaker-phone is on full blast, but they have the stupid thing up to their ear, yelling, "what, what, what did you say?" - we all heard them through out the entire store for crying in the beer!
I'm standing there, politely, "excuse me, pardon me, behind you please, HELLO!" - my patients is now gone, I grab their buggy/cart and move it out of the way of others, aka me ...
AND then they get all mad at me!
:ninja:

There's a little blighter over here called "jején", which roughly translates to "gnat". you don't even realise they've bitten you until it starts to itch. Then you see this perfectly circular red (from the blood) mark on your arm/leg/hand.
The ones we get here where I live will probably itch for a day, maybe. The devils down at the beach will itch for 3 days.

We call those no-see-ums.
 
Service workers who fix stuff in your house then use the restroom repeatedly whilst there, mucking up the clean rugs--and even worse, don't wash their hands after (touching light switch and door knobs). I'll be deep cleaning my guest bathroom after these furnace guys leave and wiping exterior and basement door handles.

Are we talking about midges? 🤷‍♀️

Yep, I think so. Midges, gnats, they're just tiny weeny little blighters. Like this:
blighters
You can't see them, so you can't whack them with a towel, or a cricket bat or anything. You can spray the entire house and garden with fly spray, DDT, mustard gas, Agent Orange, and they still come back. The only thing that keeps them away is "OFF!" - which I always forget to apply because I think "ahh, I'm only going to be outside for a minute or two" :D :D
