Pet peeves

[monique1971]

It's really not so bad despite my plethora of complaints. It's really cozy and spacious and in a very nice neighborhood on the shore of a big lake. And I have a really low rental rate. So not all that bad, honest. I'll quit bitching about it now.

I do wish my stupid landlord would follow through on his promises once in a while, though.

Bitch all you want! That's what the thread is for, after all.

"Cozy" and "spacious" in the same apartment. Cool.

It's actually a little bungalow style house, with plenty of square footage for just one person. But it has low ceilings so it still feels pretty cozy.

I love that sort of house. I can understand why you don't want to move. Did you get rid of the ants? Did you have to spray poison all over the house to do it? Ugh.

I got some of those ant poison trap things and scattered them about the kitchen and bathroom (I guess they like my toothpaste?). I tried a different brand last year, with fairly disappointing results, but it beats spraying Raid everywhere every few hours. And now it's two days later and I think it actually worked this time. The number of ants I see crawling around has reduced drastically.

Edit: Nevermind, they're back in droves.

Buckets o' sarcasm

I'm thankful the founding fathers had the foresight to construct an economy based on pure, unadulterated capitalism. And I'm happy that we celebrate their genius and sacrifice with the annual President's Day Honda Blowout!

This weekend was also the best time to get started on replacing all that old furniture at the Thomasville President's Day Sale.

Who among us doesn't feel the need to honor our country's Most Powerful Men by equipping the media room with a new plasma TV from the Sound Advice President's Day Sale-abration? Not me, that's who!

For fuck's sake, not every holiday requires Americans to spend money. Stop the madness!

And let's not forget that this is also how we celebrate the bounty that we enjoy (Thanksgiving), the freedoms we enjoy (Fourth of July), the dignity of organized labor (Labor Day) and, heaven help us, the sacrifices of those who have died in our country's service (Memorial Day).

I love to shop, but honestly, couldn't we just close the stores on a few more days besides Christmas?

I suppose not; the economy might collapse otherwise.

Have you considered employing a scare-ant?

For years I had a recurring ant problem, then I bought this ant killer stuff that you sprinkle around the outside of the house. It's like little granules and you shake the bottle to spread the contents around in a three-foot-wide border around the perimeter. I do this yearly now and haven't seen an ant since I started.

Found it at the Lowe's site: Spectracide Ant Shield

I think traffic laws are the same in almost every state, but I want to know if this happens where you live.

I'm in the left-turn lane at a light and the light is green. The car in front of me is next into the intersection and he is waiting behind the white line, refusing to enter the intersection. Why does he wait? What the fuck is going through his puny brain? GET THE FUCK OUT THERE, YOU FUCK!!! When the light turns yellow, he stays put! Aaargh! I'm going to kill you! Now it's red and we are still waiting, all because you are unfamiliar with the laws of this country, you stupid fucking immigrant.

How do I know he was an immigrant? Because when I tapped my horn (twice) to encourage him to move forward and afford us an opportunity to make the turn when the light changed or the opposing traffic loosened up, he stuck his head out the window and yelled at me. In Spanish. Welcome to America, fuckstick.

The common practice of entering the intersection is not only allowed, but I've also seen police do what I did today - honking their horns to tell the driver in front of them to get out into the intersection while the light was still green.

Do these retarded fucks think that it's somehow illegal and that's why they refuse to do it even when there is a police officer telling them to do so?

Human beings are so fucking stupid. I hate people. When scientists finally spot that dark asteroid bearing down on us and announce that the world will be destroyed in a week, I'll smile sweetly and start loading my guns. Good times.

A particularly bitter diatribe

I fucking hate my neighbors.
The ones on the second floor, underneath me.
I want to bang on their door and yell "You fuckety fuck-fuck-fucks! May vultures gripe your guts!"
(Yes, I stole the second half from Shakespeare)
Then I will dig into a large bag of pointy rocks (which I just happened to have with me) and start hurling them at the sensitive parts of their bodies until they are scratched, slightly bloody, and whimpering on the floor.

What are they guilty of?
Numerous offenses, probably too many to list.
Suffice it to say that they create a new fire-hazard in the common hallways every day, and make elephant-like thumpings at 3 a.m. (I wish I was kidding).
Not to mention the smoking of pot and cigarettes in a house where the landlord doesn't allow it.

I used to think that my hatred was shallow and that if it really came down to it and the house was on fire, I would be a good person and bang on their door to wake them up. But now I know...
If the house was on fire, I would save their dog and barricade them inside their apartment.

So I hate them.
Yes, I do.

I'm beginning to hate them, too. Can I have some o' them rocks?

Evil laughter is the key.

You can have all the really pointy ones. I'm sure your aim is better than mine.
Then we can stand there and laugh at them...and steal their lunch money, and possibly their dog.
Did I mention their dignity?
Oh wait, they don't have any.
Motherfuckers.

I wouldn't take their lunch money. That would be wrong.

ok so as flashy as it is...Lit is still a pron site...i'd compare it to a gentlemans club rather than a strip joint. but it is what it is...porn. so now i am asking and seeking clarification...why are some pictures pulled and others not. i know the need for rules and can accept that...but....i had a picture pulled of a valentine's day candy box covering my ass. and others that i thought would be gone are still up.

just doesnt make sense...

shy you out there??? help me get it...please

All the landlord/neighbor posts have made me happy that I own my own lovely detached home.

But then:

--the pipes freeze
--the side door has gotten warped and won't close properly
--the kitchen counter has warped and now the dishwasher door won't close properly
--the GARAGE DOOR won't close properly
--the light fixture in the walk-in closet is broken and I have to take a flashlight in there to find something to wear
--there is a bad electrical splice in the basement and to repair it I will have to rip out the "remodeling" put in by the last owners of the house, which will be expensive -- until then I have the circuit shut off and this means no power to certain outlets and lights (annoying!)

And I also hate "helpful" people who try to tell me that I can fix all these things myself and to make me feel guilty because I am hiring people to deal with it all instead of being a good American and heading to Home Depot.

People who believe residential real estate is a good investment.

People who promote residential real estate under the delusion that the deductibilty of mortgage interest provides a tax shelter. Do they really and seriously believe that the ability to recoup 15-25% of an expense nullifies the expense?

The National Association of Realtors.

So you're saying that you're not a Mrs. Fix-It?
I thought you owned all the episodes of "This Old House" and had erected shrines to Ty Pennington and Christopher Lowell...

I do like all that home porn. But TV is not real life, more's the pity.

Wait...

Pics disappearing from threads. If you take a look at the posting rules on pics, half the ones that are posted should be pulled, why are random threads being targeted and others let go?

If this job is too big for one person what does that say? If you are going to enforce a posting policy like that then I suggest you police ALL the thread on am pics.

Makes no fuckin sense to me!

Bleach..

I hate ants. and loud car stereos.. why so loud?
