I get annoyed with people who clog up exits/entrances. They walk out of a shop, and stop to rumage through their purse or call someone on their cell . . . with no consideration for the fact they are blocking the free and easy movement of everyone trying to exit or enter the store too.The Super Bongohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556951103999828245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-91522150202181896082008-06-10T15:47:00.000-05:002008-06-10T15:47:00.000-05:00bon bon - Maybe you're on to something.... a post about things we <I>like</I>!

I thought it was old motor oil or something. Then, right before I got out he turned his head and spit his chew juice into it.

First of all, you might as well eat cookies out of the litter box, as disgusting as chewing is. Its the only habit that screams "I never want to have sex ever, ever again". Second, I don't want to see your collected Copenhagen-tinged sputum. Ever.

I was at a left-turn light, late after work, not another car in sight and it would change in all directions but mine. I sat there through THREE light changes and mine never turned green. I even backed up and went forward again, in vain. It wasn't until six other cars pulled up behind me that the light finally turned green!! I was so PISSED!!<BR/><BR/>Second, my personal pet peeve is people who DRIVE TOO SLOW! The speed limit isn't a suggestion people! 30 in a 45 is not acceptable!! <BR/><BR/>I think I felt something snap in my brain...

Sorry, my life as a mom is showing.<BR/><BR/>* Kids, who rather than put away the laundry you have spent all day washing, drying and folding, instead put it on their floor, where it gets mixed up with their dirty clothes, and then they bring the entire pile down to you to wash, so that you end up rewashing clean clothes (usually still folded, even) that you don't want to just pull out and put back in their room, because the clothes have now been associating rather too closely with disgusting smelly socks and underwear.<BR/><BR/>* Kids who are apparently incapable of shutting a drawer or cabinet.<BR/><BR/>* People (okay, mostly my kids) who put their dirty dishes on the counter on top of the dishwasher without even checking to see if the dishwasher is empty.<BR/><BR/>* Mean middle school girls who torment my son for their own amusement, after having spent the better part of the school year with him as one of their best friends.<BR/><BR/>* People who tailgate. And yes, I will be one of those annoying people who then deliberately slow down in front of you, knowing you can't pass. It is a strong hint to get the hell off my ass.<BR/><BR/>* People who pass you at about 90mph as another car is approaching in the other lane, scaring the living hell out of you as you envision the probable smashup, only to then see that car stopped at a quik-mart a half mile up the road. Really, people?<BR/><BR/>* Kids who hear you ask fifteen times in the morning whether we need anything in particular at the store, and then that afternoon, right after you get home from shopping, suddenly announce that you are out of milk.<BR/><BR/>* People who tell you that "all you have to do is" followed by something that you can't do.<BR/><BR/>* Well-meaning meddling grandparents who try to get you to let up on an appropriate punishment, when you know damn well that if you had done the same thing when you were a kid, you wouldn't have been able to sit down for a week.<BR/><BR/>Breathe, mk, breathe.markirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13251025210237420959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-24321761603064276912008-06-06T08:44:00.000-05:002008-06-06T08:44:00.000-05:00carla - I know!

Restaurants that wipe down all the tables all day with the same mung rag and the same gray bucket of barely-sanitized water, so that by mid-afternoon when I finally get to go have lunch the table smells like the bathroom. <BR/><BR/>2. People who make a joke that isn't that funny, and when no one laughs, they explain it. 'Cause they figure we just didn't get it. No. You are an idiot. Shut up.<BR/><BR/>3. Nurses who stare at me blankly when they KNOW we need certain paperwork they are SUPPOSED TO HAVE when we bring them a patient, then, realizing they have annoyed me, ignore me and talk over my head to my older, male EMT partner. I will beat you with this metal clipboard. I will.

Of course, that reminds me that they are one piece of plastic away from all the poor pathetic homeless people walking in the streets in the 80's after the Reagan Administration eliminated funding for institutions for the mentally ill.
