Pet peeves

[Lorali82]

Do you really want to read that I had to crawl across the floor to the junk drawer in the kitchen looking for batteries as I whimper and convulse in agony because my nifty new thermometer has been sitting unused in the medicine cabinet for years? You goddamn bitch.

I've had mine for at least 5 years and I've never had to change the battery. In fact, I just pulled it out and it still works fine. My current temperature is 98.9.

I get sick about once every six years, so this little anecdote about your battery does little to assuage my doubts.

Oh, and you might want to see a doctor - a 0.3 degree temperature is not to be taken lightly. I'm just sayin'.

It is actually somewhat unusual seeing as my temperature is usually below 98.6.

Oh, jesus, I just took it again and I clocked in at 99. If I'm sick, I blame you.

Hah! Wouldn't be the first time I made someone here sick.

On second thought, I blame the fucking side-by-side drinking fountain. My mouth must have grazed the faucet while someone was using the other one.

Ooo, tough break. I know this will be painful for your new beau. Just when he was getting to know you and all. Have you decided who your pallbearers will be?

Hardy har. My most recent reading has me at 98.6 degrees. So I guess I won't be selling the farm tonight. Unless I slip in the shower and kill myself.

At least the difficult-to-read mercury thermometer doesn't put me on an emotional roller coaster when I try to read it — low-balling my temp isn't half as bad as giving me the false impression that I'm dying of a low-grade fever.

 

[ShinigamiSama]

I've just about given up on getting these brain-dead fuckers to learn to spell and form coherent sentences. I feel safe in the knowledge that they (including Shinigallbladder - nice way to promote the school you're attending, Dunce) will never really expand beyond their limited ability to express themselves. Who am I to unsettle the balance between intelligent persons and ditch-diggers?

on your bitch about hatefulness I see this?
you're slipping mate. At least the pet names you were giving me before were amusing.
Anyways at the subject of the thread

it annoys me to no end when people bitch and complain that nothings being done - yet have people willing to help them if they put in the minute amount of effort, failing to do that then continue to complain about it.

 

[Ekserb]

on your bitch about hatefulness I see this? [Why the fuck is this word here? Why is this a question? You're missing a comma.]
you're slipping mate. [And you're missing another comma, mate.] At least the pet names you were giving me before were amusing.
Anyways at the subject of the thread [WTF?]

You keep using that "you're slipping" phrase like it means something. You do realize that it's you that can't quite keep up. You couldn't write a single post without errors when you were challenged to do so (and it was obvious you tried because it was by far the best you've done - not good enough, but good by your standards) and you keep coming back for more.

I'm really on a fucking roll this weekend, so by all means, give me your best shot, cocksucker. I will fucking end you.

you do realize I don't particularly care about perfect grammar, so meh

 

[Ekserb]

double post ... wtf?

 

[Ekserb]

Oh, that's painfully obvious, dickhead. What I still don't understand is how you find it easier to write poorly when intelligent people have to make an effort to compose as many mistakes as you. Seriously, I have to dig deep to make mistakes on purpose, while you seem to do it with ease. Should I envy you? I think not. In fact, I should pity you, for you will never know the happiness of expressing yourself in a manner befitting adults.

"I don't particularly care" is about the oldest excuse made by people who simply cannot write a perfect sentence or compose a coherent paragraph. You've tried to do it and failed. Deny it and I'll quote again your flawed attempt.

You were probably one of those kids in the playground who was picked last for every game and then, after all the other children had aligned themselves with teams and you were left standing alone on the sideline, said, "That's okay. I didn't want to play your game anyhow." Then went home and cried yourself to sleep, thinking, "I'll show them one day. I'll show them all!" Only to end up here, banging out typo after typo, mistake after mistake, confounded by the difficulty of making yourself understood while all around you seem to do it effortlessly.

You're slipping. Dick.

You know, I believe the variations in my readings were probably an accurate reflection of natural fluctuations in body temperature. Or it possibly had something to do with the fact that I downed a mug of hot cocoa shortly before the first two readings and a glass of iced tea before the third.

I have a pet peeve that I'm sure most of us have had since the beginning of this thread: I keep forgetting peeves that I think of when I'm out of the house!

I was driving to the beach today and thought of a good one. I thought to myself, "I should pull over and write this down so I don't forget. Nah, it's so good I can't possibly forget this one."

Poof, it was gone. Fffffuck.

Getting old is a bitch.

Someone is obviously feeling better. *cough* Ekserb *cough*

Oh, hell yes. That illness was short-lived. After sleeping curled up in a ball for ten hours I felt pretty good.

This weekend was especially nice. The peeve thread is good therapy for me.

That and shooting my new pistol at the range.

Robbing Hood


It's that time of year and my irritation is going to do nothing but increase over the next month.

TAXES​

I went to the book store yesterday.
I bought a book for $20.00.
At the register, I was presented with a bill for $21.00.

Where in hell did the extra $1.00 come from? How did this happen? Sales tax!! Goddamn it all to hell. Why, on earth, am I taxed when I spend my own goddamn money- money that I sweated and worked like a dog to save and accumulate. When did some fat-assed, brain-dead, sumbitch, bureaucratic political hack get the right to tax me when I buy something for myself? The hell with 'em! I'm going to stop buying stuff- I don't need any more. The taxes are insidious and unending: property tax, telephone tax, excise tax, personal property tax, sales tax, income tax, gasoline tax, capital gains tax, F.I.C.A. tax, and on and on and on.

 

[Crazy_Jezabel]

My pet peeves are people who litter and people who have to put other people down to make themselves feel better.

Silence of the...Cats

That does sound like a nice product, but I'd be wary of spilling some on the floor, slipping, and breaking my neck on the side of the tub.

They'd find my naked bloated body a week later when the neighbors called the police about the smell. My eyes would probably be missing and I'd have cat-bite-sized chunks removed from my flesh.

*shudder*

Yes, but that flesh would be wonderfully moisturized...

Imagine the alternative.
(My god, the horror!)

 

[bluebell]

Whip it out, whip it out.

That and shooting my new pistol at the range.

Insert witty joke about Ekserb owning a pistol here.

Just be happy you don't live in a world where there are a 25% sales tax on everything ... and I do mean everything, even food!

ShyGuy68-

We (in the U.S.) pay 25% (and more) by the time it's added up. Unfortunately, our politicians are unscrupulous and dishonest enough that they don't want anyone to have the ability to add it all up and the average citizen of the United States is not only illiterate but is also completely innumerate. We're bankrupt and don't even know it (yet!). Of course, the E.U. is bankrupt, as well- the state welfare system, pensions and national health care will see to it. Our (U.S.) profligacy is going to come back to haunt us. A V.A.T. tax would be too explicit and honest for the most politically corrupt nation on the face of the planet. It also has the unpleasant effect of actually encouraging people to save rather than "borrow their way to prosperity."

Fuck you, Wal-Mart Vision Center, for coercing me into ordering my contact lenses through you (instead of through visiondirect.com where I had previously ordered all my lenses at much cheaper prices and faster handling prior to handing my soul over to you) by dangling an attractive $30.00 rebate offer in front of me, having me fill out all the tedious rebate paperwork, but failing to notice that I was purchasing my lenses 2 fucking days prior to the valid date of purchase on the offer. Fuck you for this, on top of getting my prescription wrong, fucking up the right lens in my glasses, fucking up my glasses frames themselves, and for telling me my glasses weren't in when I stopped by two weeks after ordering them and then calling me two hours later to tell me they were. And also, fuck you on behalf of whomever you didn't call to inform that his/her colored lenses were ready and instead calling me.

I'm switching back to my friendly neighborhood optometrist.

<------- Note the triple mad smiley. That means I'm still angry after my cold shower.

I decided to hate the evil circle created by oil companies and politicians. Hear me out..

Gas prices are going up - but the price of oil per barrel is lower than it has been in YEARS! People blame the double taxes (which is illegal in Canada) so they tell the politicians to take some of the taxes off or chastize the oil companies. They "investigate" and find nothing - but manage to get large campaign donations come election time. Argh! I wish gas was back to at least 70 cents a litre - or I wish I had a moped...

Thanks.

Anyone else want a try - the view is good from this soap box.
