Just a list of silliness and things I hate.

[repsac]

Not so much a post as a list of things I hate. Some are a bit silly I know. I was going to put it in fratching, but it's mostly tounge in cheek and good for a laugh. IE: harmless.

1.) Slow drivers in the fast lane.

2.) Fast drivers in the slow lane.

3.) People who ask me for directions, then get angry when I can't help them.

4.) Cough Syrup with names like "New, better tasting" that still tastes like crap. (This is an improvement?)

5.) Collection agencies staffed by chimpanzees who can't understand what the words "Wrong NUMBER" mean. (What are you doing there? Just banging away at the numbers hoping you get it right?)

6.) Internet service customer support who don't know how to fix the problem. (Someone go grab the chimpanzee. maybe he can fix it.)

7.) Simple problems with complicated solutions. (insert TAB A into thermoflange C... What the hell is a Thermoflange, and where did slot B go?)

8.) Complicated problems with simple answers. (Wait...all I had to do was reboot it?)

9.) Windows Vista. (Nuff said.)

10.) The word Noob, and all its variants.

11.) Anything that has to do with Chuck Norris.

12.) Dragonheart Flame Shield.

13.) The touchy control to your starship in star wars galaxies.

14.) Elevators. (Ok, most might not have a problem here, but...Well, I'm afraid of them.)

15.) Low tables that seem designed to home in on your shins late at night wne you gotta pee and the lights are out.

16.) Doctors with names I can't pronounce, but are spelled like "Bob". (How they get Sanjay out of "Bob" is beyond me...)

17.) The question "How are you feeling?" (I'm coughing every three seconds, look like death warmed over, and spend most of my day in the bathroom. Peachy of course! Couldn't you tell?)

18.) Rednecks who blare country music while they drive. (There's a tear in my beer...)

19.) Being judged stupid because I have a southern accent. (I've gots me some learnin thank y'all very much.)

20.) 200 piece puzzles with 220 pieces.

21.) 1000 piece puzzles with 1000 pieces. Of which 3 are for another puzzle.

22.) 1000 piece puzzles with three pieces missing.

Can we add our own to this?? :D

[Rapscallion]

Can we add our own to this?? :D

I'm going to.

I hate people who make up or exaggerate tales on here to garner sympathy or for the Vinegar Boy Syndrome.

9.) Windows Vista. (Nuff said.)


:roll:


I was actually thinking of switching back to it........I know, I know....bad idea.

[Amina516]

Just saw something that instantly made me hate it:

Signing on to Myspace, I was accosted by an ad that told me to give my family a "MAGICAL PANCAKE MORNING!!!!!!!!smileyface!!!!!gag!!!!!!"


WTF is a magical pancake morning? Where do I get one? What happens if we dont like panckes? And i hate mornings and theyre never magical unless I somehow wake up in Disney World or with $5,000,000 in the checking acct (which hasnt happened yet....:()


;)

[MystyGlyttyr]

Icebreakers Sours.

Actually, I love them.

FREAKING LOVE THEM.

But if I eat more than three at a time, my tongue splits open from the citrus. *sulk* So then I have to decide whether or not to continue eating the deliciousness at the price of psychotic mouth pain for the next ten hours.

...*pops number three in mouth*

[BrassCowboy]

Pedestrians who take.... their.... time.... crossing.... the.... road... when.... I... need... to... make.... a... left.... turn.


C'mon now, it's a busy intersection! Move it or lose it, sister!

[SengaKitty]

My car. 'Nuff said.

People who judge other people... They're my mistakes, deal with it.

People who make right turns out of the left hand lane or left turns out of the right hand lane...

[Gawdzillers]

When people cross the double-yellow line to pass me (It's pouring down rain, jackass, I can't see shit. I hope you crash and burn just as it stops raining).

[BookstoreEscapee]

I don't like elevators, either. Not afraid of them, but if it's not more than 2-3 flights of stairs I'll walk, thanks.

My computer ... slowa$$ piece of#(@&*$!!

Election season. (Don't care who you vote for, not telling who I might vote for, but I can't wait until it's over!) Can I move to Canada or something for the next couple months?

The fact that Ex wants the dog back and I don't think he should go. :(

[wagegoth]

Pre-recorded cold sales calls for diabetes supplies and the one for a cruise line that starts with a ship's horn. Argh!

People who call asking for an attorney and want me to give them cell numbers and all kinds of info without identifying themselves. Double argh! when it's one of our own attorneys calling.

Software upgrades that result in conflicts.

Teachers who don't give out supply lists until Wednesday and the kids are supposed to have the supplies by the end of the week.

The Governator wanting to cut funds to public transit when ridership has been up 60% to 80% due to high gas prices.

ACTransit buying buses without air conditioning, despite OSHA fining them every day for having buses without air conditioning. Addendum: Why is the air conditioning always broken on the buses that do have it on the hottest days of the year?

Filing.

Hate to break it to you hon, but we've got a federal election coming up too! You just can't win.

[Custard Chick]

Microsoft Publisher. *shuddergag* It's not graphic design software! It's shoddy Microsoft wanna-be design software! Stop using it!

Anything Microsoft period. I'm a Mac Geek. *cuddles iBook*

[AdminAssistant]

- Bicyclists!! They're either running me over on the sidewalk, or cutting in front of my car on the roads. I realize that is an efficient/effective means of transport, but please be careful!

- Driving around campus. The slow....moving....pedestrians....

- When my parents decide to have drama when I'm already stressed. You've put up with it for 30 years already - juststopit!!

- The lack of attention for my favorite TV show. *snuggles NCIS*

- That my professors are dumping a lot of random theories on me and expecting me to automatically tell them the difference between Marx, Lacan, and Foucault. WHO?

- Finally, the fact that there is a football game tomorrow. This town does not have the infrastructure to deal with these major athletic events.

[tropicsgoddess]

Hmm....

People touching/taking my stuff without asking me

moron drivers

spoiled brats and the parents that don't discipline them

my county's public transit system

cheapskates

[RetailWorkhorse]

Pancake Mix in the box.
-Next time someone goes to the Hiawassi (SP?) Fair, someone bring me a couple bags of their three-grain pancake mix. That stuff is to die for.

Gas Prices being so high.
-Can you tell I just bought gas?

Currently my Grandmother for trying to give me CANDY.
-Diabetes runs in the family and I have type 2, why are you giving me this???

Yoplait WHIPS Yogurt
-Sounds good, looks good, texture just about killed me. Yucko.

The Idiot across the street that has yet another puppy, doesn't take care of the first one, and abuses both by tying them to trees and not playing with them.
-And, no, the Animal people won't do a thing about it because the pounds and foster homes are over-flowing.

[repsac]

I'd hoped others would add to this. Here's some more from me, mostly due to my being sick:

1.) That one stupid wracking cough that produces nothing but HURTS! (yes. Cough syrup helps.)

2.) Cough syrups that are expectorants, but don't say so on the front. Only on the back in TINY TINY lettering. (Note: Expectorants make you cough more.)

3.) Any and all flavors of chloraseptic. (It works, for all of oh...two minutes.)

4.) Kids who pick their noses in public. (EWWWWWW!)


--------------------------

Side note:

As to things I love, There is this awesome halloween movie with Christopher Lloyd in it where he plays a Zombie type character. Really hilarious movie.

Must watch when sick!

Especially the line: (after his hand is cut off in a guy's window) "Anyone else want a piece of me?"

[crazylegs]

:eek::eek: OMG!!! Me, too!!!

Thirded!

Others,

People who drive with front fog lamps illuminated when it's not needed.

People who park on the White ZigZags

Cycling on the pavement

Poor reporting

Lack of a decent jacket at work (soon to change though! :))

All this bloody rain!

[monolayth]

People who do not answer with a yes or no to a yes or no question!



grrrrrrrrr

Yoplait WHIPS Yogurt

Did you ever stir it up? Once you stir out all the air it doesn't even fill half the container.

Humidity. Hannah and all her rain wouldn't bother me in the least if I wasn't dying in here. I like rain but icky sticky I can do without. (Got out of the shower this afternoon and felt more gross than when I got in.)

My stomach. And the fact that I've been too lazy to do anything about it.

People who don't answer a direct question, for example the following text message exchange:
Me: I sent you email the other day, did you get it?
Ex: Can you call me when you get out of work?
No, the answer is Yes or No. Then we can talk about calling to discuss it. (And yes I called but he didn't answer.)

[Dreamstalker]

I hear ya about the humidity we've had the past few days. The AC didn't do a hell of a lot of good, and I could tell the kitty was majorly uncomfortable as well but I couldn't do anything about it :cry: It's fair and windy today though, so maybe that will help.

Coworkers who it seems as if their only function is to sit on their ass (you're getting paid for what exactly? I'm the only one who does any actual work around here).

Xenon headlights (or whatever those purple-pink ones are)--why does a driver need "truer colors"? Thanks for blinding me while I'm trying to cross the street; would it be legal for me to return the favor with these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_reflector)?
