I’m a naturally slow eater, and I assure you, I am doing NOTHING but eating in a restaurant - I know that I’m going to be eating when everyone else is done anyway. Your sister-in-law is silly.
I forgot my other complaint - every time I do something in my yard, I get sore legs. Forget the gym; just do a little yardwork. 
Gets no sympathy from me. I’ve been at lunch with co-workers where, if you’re not back by a specific time, you get written up. And then had these chuckleheads go back for another plate when everyone else is going ‘oh shit, we have to run or we’ll be late!’
“But gosh, what do you mean? I just got this food (knowing everyone else was putting on their coats), we can’t leave NOW!!!”
“We have to leave or we’ll be written up”
“So? I don’t care!”
“We do, and we drove, so…see ya!”
Oh don’t get me wrong, it generally bugs the heck out of me. But at least at normal restaurants you’d typically get a doggie bag. This was her only plate, and fortunately we weren’t on that strict of a schedule.
One of my classmates is SO ANNOYING. I want her to STFU.
If we have a confirmed meeting at 1:30 and it’s 1:30 and I appear at your office. You are obviously shooting the breeze with someone. You say you need a few minutes, I tell you to buzz me when you are ready.
20 minutes pass, and I finally walk to the bathroom and see you standing shooting the breeze with your staff as I pass. I do what i need to and swing back by your office and you say schmarmily -“I swung by your office but you weren’t there.”
No sh*t, Sherlock. Cause you saw me walk past you! 20 minutes is not “a few” minutes. Respect that you accepted that meeting request and you owed me that time. It’s not okay to make me cram 30 minutes worth of my time in to 10 minutes worth of yours so you can talk about MLB Opening Day with your friends.
I hope the meeting was you firing him for being a time-wasting jackass.
I don’t care *how *fucking much revenue we get from you every year–**do not **show up fifteen minutes early to a meeting that’s already at a ridiculously early hour and is going to go all day, i.e., a meeting that needs extensive setup, including catering. Honestly, what did your mother teach you?
To never be late, and that its better manners to be early. Although, that early is pretty inconsiderate - almost as bad as being late. Go sit in your car or walk around the block.
Sorry, your mom was totally wrong. Being a little late is preferable to being a little early. My cite is Miss Manners.
For a business meeting, I’d expect a *vendor *to arrive perhaps a bit early (in the five to fifteen minute range), but *clients *to be on time or late. *Certainly *not more than five minutes early, for a client.
Lol - I wish! But he’s a higher level than me, since I’m just a consultant and not a full-time employee. Nevertheless - don’t agree to a time if you don’t want to meet then. And if you agree - follow through!
I like watching videos of cats doing funny things, I freely admit it - but now ICanHasCheezburger has started playing ads after you’ve finished watching the video, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn them off (I can reduce the volume, but I don’t want to fuss with volume up, volume down, etc.). I think FailBlog is doing this, too. It’s really friggin’ annoying - you watch a video and keep scrolling, and somebody starts talking about laundry detergent until you go to the next page.
Attention vendor:
You have THE SINGULARLY MOST ANNOYING EMAIL SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. A conversation about fucking WHAT HOTEL TO STAY AT and WHAT AIRPORT TO FLY INTO for your meeting with us and our client DOES NOT REQUIRE A SEPARATE SECURE EMAIL SYSTEM, whereby I have to CLICK A LINK and GO TO SOME FUCKING STUPID WEBSITE in order to read your responses, instead of being able to do it from my own email, so everything takes an extra ten hours instead of thirty seconds. Jesus FUCKING christ.
Telephone solicitors are bad enough, but I especially hate the ones who want to send you something to “try for free for 30 days”. Then after the 30 days is up, your credit card WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CHARGED $$$ amount per month, every month, unless you call an 800 number to cancel it. How many people will forget all about it until at least after they see the first credit card statement? An then, how many will remember the number you are supposed to call to cancel? Or be able to find it?
Yes, I’m on the “Do Not Call” list, but these types of solicitations usually come from your credit card companies, and thus they are exempt from the “Do Not Call” list. Bastards! Leave me and my credit card the hell alone!
There are many things I like about my apartment. The fact that utilities are included in the rent, for one. Walking distance to a grocery store another.
But what I don’t like is that the heat and AC are centrally controlled (although there are thermostats in the rooms), and they haven’t switched the AC on yet.
And it hit 90 today.
And I’m on the top floor.
Where’s the “I’m melting” smiley when I need it?
<< Don’t mind me, I’m just the cat’s servant. >>
Call them and tell them you want to be removed from all promotional offers. They will probably tell you they can do it, but you won’t then be eligible for automatic line increases and shit like that, but so what.
Can we have a moratorium on the term “tea baggers”? It simultaneously repulses and irritates me.
Dear Stupid Co-worker: I know it’s hard when you reach a certain level of obesity to keep yourself clean. I know that when you reach a certain level of depression that it’s hard to keep yourself motivated to keep yourself clean.
But you STINK. * I can smell you from my office next to yours*.
Last time you were here, you really, really stank. So much so that everywhere you went in the office stank. So much so that I had to close my door. So much so that I had to drive home at the end of the day with my windows open because your stink had permeated my clothes.
Dear niblet’s stupid co-worker:
Take a shower. You are making the rest of us cute and clean obese people look bad.
I’ve got extra soap and deoderant if you need it.
–MH
It’s commendable that you bought the 100 calorie snack-packs in an effort to lose weight. You should be aware, however, that consuming 5 of them in an hour defeats the purpose.
