Every once in while, random thoughts float through my head and I feel a need to share.
I started thinking about things that annoy me in general, so here they are, in no particular order or subject matter.

Stretch pants. An unneccesary evil. No offense, but if you are over 250lbs, its not a good idea.
I don't care if they are comfortable, a good friend would tell you not to do it and a full length mirror should back this up.
This to me is worse than seeing ass crack peeking out from low rise jeans.

Here's the rule:
If it's akin to your skin, it's a sin.

Grocery stores:
I hate the people that have to block the entire aisle with their carts while they read the entire label on a can of soup. Is is that hard to move to the side? That's when I wish I had the monster 4x4 cart that will plow right over theirs.
Then there is the people that have to eat their way through the store. They open bags of food, or can's of soda...I saw a woman eating a chicken leg the other day while in line to pay. Wtf? Can't wait 5 minutes,lady?

Drivers:
I know for for a fact that turn signals are not an option with vehicles, they do serve a purpose. We have not evolved to the point where we can use mental telepathy. If we did I would use my Uri Gellar spoon bending powers to twist your car into a pretzel every time I have to slam on my brakes or veer around some jackass that decides at the last minute they are going to turn.
Do people also know what a yeild sign is? When entering a highway, YOU must yeild, not me coming at you 90 mph. Then they drop back in speed. Grrr. This is when I wish I had the built in laser option, one button control on the steering wheel. When you get cut off, simple push and reduce them to ash, then simply drive right over them.
I'm not even going to start on the selfish bastards who can't park a car straight or in the lines when there is more than enough room to swing a yak by the tail.

Kids and BM's: (gross factor warning)
How do kids under the age of ten, get something that large out of their ass without screaming in pain? and then it doesn't flush. I can count the times I've been greeted by trout in the pond. The toilet paper is gone, but Mr. Hankey is still happily bobbing along.
You flush again...and it's like a baby seal popping up to say hi again. I told my son, if his crap was used in the construction materials of the Titanic, the bitch would never have gone down.

Mini van moms don't own the road or school yards. It's your choice to have your own tribe, but it does not give you the right to block the entrance to the school when others are dropping off their 2.5 kids. I will shove that mug of coffee up your ass if you give me that smug look from behind your battletank plastered with "my child is an honor roll student", "Abortion is murder" or "Princess" bumper stickers. No self respecting Princess would be caught dead in a mercury minivan with 7 snot faced little trolls like yours. I find carrying around a thick permanent marker is a good thing, you can easily fix those annoying bumper stickers to suit your own needs. Under the "Abortion is Murder" I like to put, "so is paying for your tribe of inbreds". Under the "my child is an honor roll student" put, "Yeah, but can he tie his own shoes?"

Some bumper stickers just make me want to plow into the back end of some vehicles.:rolleyes:

Well, that's a few of MY peeves, anyone care to share theirs????

~A~:cool:

ps. Always carry a package of post it notes, to leave on the windows of the really ignorant parkers.

Funny story. For those who don't know, my father is a paraplegic, fully wheelchair bound. This means that I grew up with an indepth knowledge of the issues that concern the physically disabled.

One of those is, of course, parking spaces.

So I'm in college, just hanging around outside one of the science buildings waiting for my buddy to come out, so we can go eat something. This big black 7-series BMW comes in and slides right into the parking spot with the big yellow wheelchair painted on it. Not like there weren't other spots in the parking lot, but the disabled one was the closest to the door, of course. Guy gets out, real rich-looking self-important motherfucker.

So what do I do?

I wait until he goes inside.

Pull my keys out of my pocket.

And scratch a big fucking wheelchair symbol on the pristine polished black hood of his look-at-me BMW.

God, I wish I could have been there to see his face when he came out.
 
Here, we have a rash of people going left around the world. Their turn signal doesn't automatically click off, or they change their minds, but the signal goes on and on, and off, and on......

Lookyloos on Sundays: they drive around the area, never at more than 20 mph, looking at yard sales, houses, whatever. They may have nowhere they need to go, but others do - get the f*ck out of my way (I have an admitted lead foot, but c'mon!).

This may be a southern thing, I dunno.....People moving house trailers at busy times. WTF is it with that???? There's a line of cars 8 miles long behind them, and they won't pull over, and no one at the front of the line is brave enough to go around.

My husband's bathroom - 'nuff said.

My 15-yr-old cannot take a shower without getting everything in the bathroom as wet as possible - and it's a big bathroom. We've actually had to replace the floor once already.

Okay, I feel better now.

That is so wrong, but it's not really. I hate ignorant fucks like that, my parents have handicap plates and can't walk far. I would never take those spaces, I too know the need for them.

Haha, I know. I did feel kinda guilty when I was doing it, but I feel morally outraged at the same time, so I didn't care too much. I guess I'm lucky that they didn't have security cameras in that parking lot or I probably would have been in a lot of trouble. I probably should have let his fucking tires down too ;)

I think he got the message though :devil:
 
Cloudy, I hear you about the perpetual turn signal thing:rolleyes:

Why can no one hang the towels here either...oh wait, I know, cuz Mom loves to do laundry. I went to college for it in fact.
 
Thank you for that I needed a giggle.

My big Moans are

people who walk in groups spread out across the path and KEEP STOPPING!!!!

People without kids who park in parent and child spaces, forcing parents to park in narrow spaces and have to try and get baby out of the child seat without scraping the paint off the door

People who let their dogs foul on every inch of grass in my village, you can't let the kids run on grass for fear of mess, I own a dog and I manage to clean up after him.

One particulaly evil old women in an overcrowded market when I was heavily pregnant, she kept spinning round to talk to her partner with her elbows stuck out, she hit me 5 times before my hubbie barged passed her. I confess I elbowed her in the back. Suprise suprise she didn't like it.

God I feel better now.
 
abs, honey, its meds time...

you did that for me, so i was returning the favor.


people who put empty boxes back into the cupboard... its ever so much further to walk to the trash.

people who take that last, treasured cup of coffee and dont make another pot.. dont they know that could be mortally dangerous?!

people who let their dogs poo on our front lawn.. and with my dog having a poo fetish.. well.. that was another thread..i think you get my point.

people who say "I'm not rascist, some of my bests friends are...." hello?

erm.. i should stop now. but abs started it.. its all her fault..

ps.. moms bed ridden.. so when i do have to take her to the doctor or anywhere.. so very hard to get her out.. when someone takes a handicapped parking space without needing it.. its like a pole goes straight up my ass ...Kudos Raphy!
 
oh that empty box thing makes me nuts too!

I figured everyone needs a good rant now and then.

and thanks, I did take my meds:kiss:
 
Pet Peeves: Women that don't swallow. J/K

Seriously, I've got a few. Here's one that so pisses me off. Have you ever gone into a store early just to avoid the rush, only to find they only have three tills open, out of forty, and you're still queuing. Or how about the two queues in a bank, when you know whichever one you join, that's the one that's gonna be the slowest.

Ever dropped a sandwich and it hit the ground face down. Or a woman that farts when you're giving them head. No wait, I've never experienced that one. lol

Ooh, how about when the last person in the bathroom does't tell you we are out of toilet paper:(
 
Ah yes, the chain store with 40 checkouts with only a few open, my favorite. Personally I feel Home Depot is the worst at this. A beautiful Saturday morning in the spring. 3 registers open. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!

Then of course there is the helpful associate who will direct you to the "Self Checkout". What sadistic bastard thought of this? I'm now stuck in line behind a man attempting to work out how to get his new 40 gallon trash can onto the belt so he can place it in a plastic bag. Then he has to handle the credit card machine himself even though I wouldn't trust him with pocket calculator!

Ok, now I feel better... I need a beer....

I've got one customer who'll call me and as soon as I answer, he asks, "can you hold on?" and start talking to someone else in his office. Aargh!

Lime

I recommend a voodoo doll for that one, when they ask you to hold, stab them in the ear, or wherever you feel would make a better impact.:D
 
Here's another one, the asshole in front of me in line at the coffee shop talking on his cellphone. The girl at the counter asks "Can I help the next person?" and the asshole keeps right on talking, holding up everyone else there.

A few days ago this happend to me again, I was having a bad day so I walked up befind him and asked (Loudly) "If you don't want to buy anything, how about getting the f*** out of the way so the rest of can get on with it?" He didn't reply but he did order. Someone behind me actually clapped.

As soon as I got outide I couldnt stop grinning the whole way back to my site.

I applaud you too!

I llike when the person in line is arguing with the checkout girl about prices. Having been in retail a thousand years, I have to step in and ask them if they really think this poor girl/boy decides the prices.
 
The woman in the Super delux, 25 foot long SUV who manages to park at the pump in such a way that noone else can get to the one she isn't using.

People who buy 2 carts of groceries, demand 6 price checks and then pull out their check books only after the total is rung up & the food bagged.

The guy at McDonalds who cannot fingure out what plain means when he takes my order.

Morons who assume that they can still go 70MPH in a snow storm because their SUV is 4 wheel drive.

New Jerseay Drivers who cross into New York and don't remember that the right of way in trafic circles is the opposite.

Alright, where's the real Lou and what have you done with her? Is this really ShockChick?

No, it's sweet liddle me.

Honest, guv'!

Do you think I never get mad, or something? I can be incredibly impatient, unless I know it is going to be very much worth my while. ;)

Lou :kiss:
