Good gosh, I can identify with so many of the above comments. Most make me laugh since I've experienced the same sentiments. Most make me nod my head in total agreement. Here are a few more:

1) My father, who never ceases to comment on how dh and I should live our lives, request raises from our bosses, move into larger/more expensive house, redo our home, redo our landscaping, where we should buy a vehicle, what vehicle we should buy, what we should cook/serve at family meals, how we should praise others in the family for their efforts, how we should invest in volatile stock market, plan for future, etc.

Great example – Thanksgiving, dh and I hosted 16, including my father and other assorted family and friends. My father says it’s hot in the house (while we are cooking in the afternoon and we should open the french doors onto the patio). We declined, since we have indoor cats whose mission it is consists of escaping to investigate the outside world. There are only four of us in the house at this point and we'll have to turn on the AC when everyone arrives. Temperature outside is 62. We did open all the windows to permit air flow. He then proceeds to tell us we should add persimmon trees to our yard. Okay, we just had our yard landscaped two years ago and added four fruit trees for items we like and eat, knowing it may take decades for fruit to be produced. I’m thinking to myself, hey dad, you buy the trees, dig the holes, plant the trees, and drive five hours every day to our home, water the trees and voila…you can have your persimmon trees in our yard. He never asked if we like/eat persimmons. It's not part of our regular diet. LOL! Then he proceeds to tell me that I need to add nuts to one of the side dishes. First time I’ve cooked said recipe and I want to try it the way it is intended before I experiment. I decline. He then tells me that he doesn’t want grilled asparagas since it may be cold by serving time. I have no further room in oven or stovetop due to the other 12 dishes I am preparing. After dinner, tells me to thank and praise my younger sister for the wonderful rasberry tart she brought to dinner. Hey, did he think to praise and thank me for the 12 dishes and turkey I prepared or the 6 desserts I baked from scratch on the buffet or the party we held for 16 people in which I had to load the dishwasher twice and clean more than 20 serving dishes and corresponding utensils, linens, etc.? It just goes on and on! I sound like I’m bitter about this. Nawwww….okay, *wink* maybe just a tad. It's a good thing that Thanksgiving is only once a year. LOL!

2) People who speed up and pass me on the left only to be slowed as the direct car now in front of me when they have to stop at the same red light I just arrived at.

3) People who do not obey the stop sign in the mall perimeter when I have the right of way entering the perimeter with no stop sign.

4) Any neighborhood dog whose owner does nothing to quell the barking and yelping. Can they not hear this? What, do I have spidey-sense hearing, bionic hearing or something??? LOL!

5) People who constantly complain about their favorite sports team saying that the coach should do this or that, not knowing the first thing about coaching, the players, the expertise level, etc.

6) People who yell at the television about a sporting event they are watching as if anyone can hear them.

7) People who stand in front of you at a concert, sporting event for the duration of the event, forcing you also to stand for several hours.

8) Store cashiers/baggers who talk amongst themselves and not only neglect to greet you, but don’t thank you for your purchase or patronage of said store.

9) Trying to find someone to ring up a purchase, anywhere, any time, any season. (especially department stores)

10) People who continually request you leave them a voice mail. Look, we know you have caller id and can see who called. Here’s the message…you see my phone number, you know it’s me, call me back. That’s the message. Why do you need to hear me say, “it’s me…call me back” ?

okay, that’s enough …*laughs*
