People who take their shoes off on the plane. Why??

I get it, you've been walking the terminal all day, and your feet are sore, but that is still no excuse to take off your shoes on a crowded plane, especially if your socks or shoes aren't fresh. Further, if you are so disrespectful that you have to take your shoes off, don't compound this crappy behavior by resting your smelly, socked foot on the passenger next to you for any reason. Yes, I am speaking from personal experience in the last five minutes, and she actually thought I was going to accept her feeble "my feet are tired" excuse when I pushed her foot off my leg. This should be a fun flight...

We all walked out after the owner's wife complained about doing her own "financial problems". They had to sell the restaurant to our managers.

This was years ago when I was still waiting tables at a restaurant.

The week of Thanksgiving the owner informed us that we weren't getting raises, nor Christmas bonuses, that year. The following week his wife was covering a manager shift and overheard some of us talking about not being able to make ends meet, afford groceries, pay our rent/mortgages, etc - let alone think about Christmas shopping. She popped into the conversation to say, "I completely understand, we couldn't even afford to have someone decorate our house for Christmas this year, I had to do it myself."

It wasn't too long after that most of the staff (myself included) walked out and the place suffered until the owner sold the place to the existing management. Most of the staff that had walked out came back and things were much better going forward.

Mildly annoying,but it really grinds my gears when doctors offices require you to arrive 15 minutes early, but don't bring you in until 20 minutes past your appointment time. Because a lot of them have fee penalties for arriving five minutes after your appointment time, I sometimes want to ask where I submit my bill for my fee for sitting in the waiting room past my time.

Yes, I know, it's a first world problem, which is who I tagged it as mildly annoyed.
