Pet peeves

[monique1971]

Seeing someone toss a dirty diaper out the window of their car as they're driving down the street provokes me to murderous rage.

You've seen this?!

More people who should be tied to a chair and beaten senseless with their own shoes:

Those who bring their children shopping and expect everyone in the store, including the employees and other shoppers to watch them. I just loving walking down an aisle or through the racks having to dodge a running child. Or better yet having to play obstacle course among the things they have randomly thrown in said aisle. And then to top it all off, the mother is usually heard yelling in the store for her offspring. "Joey!" And from another part of the store, "What?" Mother again, "Come over here."

Now, in this day and age, where children are snatched from the safety of their own homes, you would think that these idiotic parents would keep a close eye on their child.

If all the roads in Miami were elevated the diapers would rain down like volcanic ash on Pompeii.

Funny simile, but what a vile reality.

You have got to get out of Miami, dude. That place sounds horribly rude and filthy from your descriptions of it.

It is.

My biggest pet peeve about Miami has got to be going to a restaurant/grocery store/mall...whatever and having the employees not speak one ounce of English.

Mind you, I speak Spanish perfectly and I can understand them perfectly fucking well, but how hard is it to learn the fucking basics after being here for 15-25 years. What irks me isn't even so much that they can't speak it, but that they get pissed off at you for not automatically speaking to them in Spanish. Language barrier can be a bitch, but don't come to me with a holier than thou attitude and think that you are above learning the English language.

People who pm you to spam their thread ... If I wanted to look at your thread and comment on it I would have. Why must you pm me once a week at least to tell me to check out your thread?

Just gets under my skin

Good Lord. Who does this?! (I'm not disbelieving you, merely expressing my distaste for the idea.)

I mean, I'm an attention whore, but this never even occurred to me.

Or are you referring to the recent spate of "cindy" PMs? I think those are automated somehow.

I did it again. I got into the shower and was completely soaked before I realized that I had forgotten to replace the sliver of soap that's been tormenting me for days. Luckily I made it through the cleaning session by carefully managing to not break the so-thin-you-can-read-through-it remains of what was once a bar of Irish Spring.

A transparent attempt to make people fantasize about you in the shower. Be a little more creative, willya? Your peeves usually are better than this.

Rating on a scale of 1-10 with ten as the highest: 3 (because it is nice to think about you in the shower)

Yes it does happen. Although I wont mention any names as to whos doing it but I dont think I got the "cindy" ones that you're talking about.

I could never do that ... if people want to come to my thread, I'm certainly not going to spam their pm with my link

It's hard for me to be my usual sarcastic, misogynistic self when I'm staying at my folks place on a two-week vacation. Nothing bothers me now, so I had to come up with something - the soap was all I had.

In a week-and-a-half I'll be back at work and all the good in me will be forced out within the first two hours of the day. I'll be back to normal before you know it.

NOTHING BOTHERS YOU when you are spending two weeks with your folks? Based on this piece of information alone, I'd have to say that "normal" is going to be a hopelessly elusive target for you.

No wonder you hate everyone. You save all positive human feelings for your parents. They must spoil you rotten.

Miles away from normal

They probably don't make him hold babies or change diapers either.

Everyone just gathers around him all day, feeds him fresh fruit, and tells him he's beautiful.

While I do have positive feelings for my parents, the reason for my euphoria is the absence of work. Being out of Miami has all kinds of benefits, too. It's just so relaxing to be anywhere but that city.

See? Normally this kind of statement would get me all riled up and I'd retaliate with some kind of venomous, hateful vitriol. This week I'm just letting all slide off my back.

Aaaaaaaaah....

If that sell-your-house-explore-the-country thing ever comes together for you, watch out. You might turn into a nice person if you ever leave your job and quit Miami. Maybe you should prepare a Mean Kit to take with you in your RV so you don't lose your edge.

Hmm. That's probably a good idea. Any suggestions for kit ingredients?

1. Pictures of unattractive people who post to Lit and persist in shameless attention-seeking behavior instead of slinking back to the obscurity where the physically imperfect belong.
2. Security camera footage of major Miami intersections.
3. Copies of Bill and Hillary Clinton's autobiographies.
4. Religious pamphlets.
5. "Children are God's Greatest Blessing" videotape from Focus on the Family
6. "Read this when you're feeling calm and happy" letter from Pookies and me.
7. Sappy farewell card from phone company coworkers.

I'd like to think that I've covered everything, but I know this is just the barest sampler of the things you can't stand....

I like the list, but the Miami intersection item would actually serve to make me laugh as I watch the other suckers who are still in Miami instead of me. Kinda like watching America's Most Outrageous Police Chases or something.

I nearly saw red when I got to the part about pookies. She's a cunt. I hope she reads this.

Chill out, man. You're still with the 'rents. (And hey, I want to be a cunt too! Ooh, look, I'm trying to get attention, you hate that. )

Okay, so it's a "no" on the intersections, but doubtless you will find new driving-related aggravations as you pilot your RV behemoth around America's highways.
