[li]“I-am-a-5-year-old-trapped-in-a-teenager’s-body” type of clothing. Most of us aren’t into Winnie The Pooh anymore, at least not seriously enough to be wearing a jacket with Pooh characters all over it. Those who are, should be shot.[/li][li]People who let their kids have screaming contests in the middle of a crowded mall. No matter what type of parenting you’re going for, if you do not snatch that kid up and lecture him on how you are supposed to behave in public, I will.[/li][li]8 million teenage girls who all look exactly the same. Long flared jeans, a tight shirt that exposes way too much of their not so attractive bodies, covered in glitter of some sort so that my eyes hurt when the overhead lights catch them at the right angle, walking in tow with 5 more of their kind with the same superior attitude. Like, totally.[/li][li]People who ask me 12 times if I need any help. If I did need help, I would have answered so when you asked me the first time. No, I am not looking for something to steal. Please leave me alone to shop in peace. I promise I won’t take anything without paying.[/li][li]The fact that people think I’m weird for declaring, “I’m pissed off, I’m going to buy some underwear because it will make me feel better.” Doesn’t that make everyone feel better? If not, am I just weird?[/li]
That’s all I have for now.
I can think of a few:
[ul]
[li] A faculty member who stands over my shoulder and points out each correction to be made to the document, when I have perfectly good eyesight and can actually read the corrections noted by the editor.[/li][li] People that argue with the cashier about a difference of $.53. Get a life already.[/li][/ul]
Sorry, that’s a pretty lame list.
People throwing their cigarette butts out their car window.
Any given person who points at something and thrusts that finger right under your chin or in front of your face while pointing. Makes me want to bite that finger right off.
**
We seem to be discussing that a lot today.
You are weird, but that’s a good thing.
I’m not much on the flare leg/midriff shirt thing either. I personally like the glitter tho’.
As a dirty old man it makes me mad when…
Nevermind

No. New underwear always makes me feel better.
Things that piss me off:
I am on Weight Watchers. I have lost 50 of my extra 100 pounds through healthy diet and exercise. I hate, hate, HATE women who have never weighed 100 pounds even when soaking wet, who are not my friends, and who have made it very clear over the years that they do not give a shit whether I’m alive or dead, who feel compelled to say when they hear this, “You don’t want to get TOO thin. Are you sure that you’re eating enough?” What the f–? Hello, twiglet, you don’t even meet the weight requirements to give blood! If you want to do something to help rid the world of eating disorders, go eat a hamburger!
[ul][li] People who don’t stop before exiting driveways or side streets.[/li][li] People who drive the wrong way down one way parking lot aisles.[/li][li] Receiving more and more phone calls from machines telling me to “stay on the line for [an important announcement/the next operator/whatever].”[/li][li] Commercials for pharmaceuticals that don’t tell you what the drug does. “Ask your doctor about Lamonex™.”[/li][li] Police helicopters over my neighborhood at night.[/li][li] The dog two doors down that barks incessantly at the smallest noise. (I swear one night I farted and he started barking.)[/li][/ul]
[list]
[li] Drivers wanting to cut in when a lane is closed on the highway. Hey, Rain Man, the signs were posted 2 miles ago, go drive slow on the driveway if you don’t know how to read the road signs. I moved over early so I wouldn’t have to force my way bewteen two people who waited their turn to get here. You want to zip ahead of the people patiently waiting and squeeze in, you’ll have to do it behind me, cuz I’m not gallant enough to let you over.[/li][li] People telling me to get a sense of humor. I have a sense of humor - about most things in fact - some things I just don’t find funny. So when I ask you politely not to joke about such things around me, please don’t joke about them aroune me. Crack your jokes all you want at your house or with your other friends, but please have some respect for my feelings and accept that I just don’t find that funny.[/li][li] When I’m asked, “Why would a person spend so much money on a baseball?” It’s not just a baseball, you scrotum wart, it’s a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio/Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams/etc. You may not know who they are, but I didn’t buy them for you. They are for me. I can’t play the game anymore, so these are the closest ties I have to doing all I ever really wanted to do.[/li][li] People who don’t acknowledge a posting milestone, much like the time my 3000th post went unnoticed.[/li] The phone ringing just as I’m about to fall asleep. I hate that.

People who fart so loud it can be heard two houses down the street
<d&r>
So Crunchy…anyone say anything to you about 4,000?
[ul]
- People who empty their car ashtray in parking lots.
- Habitual lateness
- People who don’t use their turn signals
- People who slow down or stop on the entrance ramp to a highway. It says “YIELD” not “STOP” you idiot!
- People who tell me to smile. You don’t know me, pal, so shut up.
- The annoying neighbors two houses up who never park in their own driveway, but park in front of my house and the house in between us.
[/ul]
Ender said something, but it was in a Pit thread that’s closed now.
- Drivers who don’t use their blinkers
- Magazines that don’t print the page number on each page. (Article on pg 129? Ah, difficult to locate when there are no numbers from pages 65 - 170!)
- Cashiers who refuse to put my change in my hand, but rather set it on the counter for me to pick up.
People who keep trying to convince me that I like a TV show or movie I can’t stand.
Old people that drive with a big dog on their lap.
Kids (seems to be mainly girls around here) in the 6th and 7th grade who act like juniors and seniors in high school.
That guy on Will & Grace.
[ul]
[li]Chewing with an open mouth, or talking with a full mouth[/li][li]When I was in University, ‘mature’ (read: 45 year old parents of 7) students trying to share their ‘life experience’ by relating it to first-year course subject matter. Who f-ing cares? Just answer the question, dammit![/li][/ul]
Tell me about it. I agree completely.
Stuff that bugs me -
- “Bootcut” jeans. Not people wearing them, mind you, they look fine. However, all the stores make them 1 to 2 inches shorter, a 31" inseam. As a taller woman, this bugs the hell out of me, I can’t find jeans that fit anymore. It just bugs the hell out of me.
-Pretentiousness. Ick.
-Skinny people who say that they are fat just to get compliments or something. I don’t know why they do it.
I agree. Like they need to pretend to be fat. God I hate that.
And fat (teenage girls) who wear belly shirts. My opinion? IF YOU DON’T HAVE IT, DON’T FLAUNT IT.
Simple as that.
Um, I suppose now wouldn’t be a good time to mention my collection of shirts with Winnie tastefully embroidered above the pocket? (No worries, I’m a loooonngg way past the teen years. :))
Some stuff that bugs me:
Hordes of college kids wandering out into traffic moving at 45 miles an hour because, of course they’ll stop, who needs to use a crosswalk or a light?
It’s a STOP sign for god’s sake, not a BARELY PAUSE sign!
If there are two lanes that turn left at a light then stay in your own damned lane you moron instead of shoving me into the sidewalk.
And of course, jackass drivers in general.

[li] People who could do something but to choose not to and hold everyone else back.[/li][li] People who walk really slow and in the middle of the asile/hallway so that its not possible to pass them.[/li][li] People who say "Oh your only a teenager, you wouldn’t understand, can’t do this, etc.[/li][li] Walking into a stall and finding that the toliet wasn’t flushed or that there is pee on the seat.[/li][li] [/li][QUOTE]
comercials for pharmaceuticals that don’t tell you what the drug does. “Ask your doctor about Lamonex™.”

I hate those comercials!!

Oh and Crunchy, I don’t think I was here for your 3000 post, but ** HAPPY 4000!!! **
