4)Jeans -tucked into boots.
5) Dirty fingernails-or fake nails with cute pictures stenciled on them.
6) Women in their 40's who wear sparkly baretts in their hair.

feel free to add to the list....

~people who flit themselves about like they are "all that" (when we ALL know they are NOT!)
~that patronizing voice (used on an adult by an adult)
~apostrophies where they don't belong ("buy your sub's here")

Wow, I could go on and on,lol! Thanks OP, that felt good

...People who wear clothes that are too small (ie jeans that give them a "muffin top")
...People that wear clothes that only young, fit Britney Spears looks good in]
...Britney Spears
...People that have spotless houses (and no kids) comenting about how trashed your house is (you have 3 kids 7 and under)
...People that talk smack about your kid behind your back but will not call and talk to you about it (see my post about my kid being "that kid")
...Birth Parents that only care about their kid when they want to

I guess my major issues I have posted about in the past 2 days.

Check out my pictures!! Just click below:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/gotjenks/

-Walmart employees when my items ring up at the wrong price. You get a different answer from each one about their $3 policy!

-My DH when he moves things off of my counters, like my kitchen tool can, because he thinks it is too cluttered. I keep threatening to go into the garage and move all the stuff off of his workbench! Talk about cluttered.

-Friends who say I am a shop-a-holic, but want me to get them great deals too!

-My neighbor's husband who told my husband he can't afford for me to save his wife any more money.! (OK, that one does make me giggle!)

-Eating across the table from my 12 year old DS. Not a pretty site and we have been working on that for years!!!

-My sis when she makes her kids give up candy for lent, but she doesn't give anything up and they don't ever go to church!

People who have to give their "opinion" about my life (hubby travels 90% of the year) or the home we chose for ourselves (due to the 25 minute drive into town and the frequent snows) when their "opinion" was never requested!!!

Sure, I would change many things about our lives. I do not talk about our lives so the grilling that I get about "what state is he in this week" doesn't help me out at all. Empathy, not bashing is the only thing that would be appropriate.

Just because it's not a choice THEY would have made, doesn't mean it's not the PERFECT LIFE for us!!!! I could see if I went around complaining about any of this, but I almost NEVER talk about it-as having conversations are difficult for me from my depression.

People who take their dogs in stores. I saw it 2 times in the past week.

This drives me batty too!! Of course, they are always these little dogs. I always tell my DH that I am going to bring one of my Beagles to the grocery store down the road. (I would dare them to make a comment to me!!) Of course, the exception to the battiness is if they have on a service dog bandanna or something specifying they are a service dog, as they should, if they are in a public place that generally does not allow animals.

[quote=PaulaJC]- People who correct my kids in front of me or tell me what they are doing. Hello Im standing right there. I know what they are doing! Im the Mom I will take care of it!

==I HATE this! I have an acquaintanance(SP) who does this to my kids and she has NO room to be talking, I like most kids, I know they all have their times they can be brats, but hers are HELLIONS!

==Another one of mine is people(husbands cousin) who keeps having babies, unsure of the father until the baby's born, and not giving them up for adoption, even though she's really not the one raising the kids...

== Fat people wearing skinny people skimpy clothes and they have parts of them hanging out that I don't want to see, let alone my kids... Heck, I don't like skinny people wearing skimpy clothes!

==Fines at the library...

==Mean people...

That's about it for now.

Drivers that tailgate especially with their lights on bright.
Drivers that are poking and not doing the speed limit.
Drivers that pull out in front of you to were you almost hit them and then poke.
Rude cashiers or cashiers that don't know what their doing like taking coupons.
Mean people or people that tell lies.
My sister-in-law and her family it's like a soap opera she always has some kind of drama in her life plus everytime I see her she has to comment on my weight and say sarcastic things about my weight.
My MIL who takes a lot of crap off of her older son and daughter .
My husband who is a big procrastinator.

People who run red lights (and run into us! and total our 6 month old car! noone hurt but my kids are still a little traumatized by it and I practically stop at every green light now! gotta get over that!).

Happened October 22 but still hassling with insurance over it.

Oh, and dealing with insurance companies, yuck.

Those are two more things that make me say, 'AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!'

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*

Ahh, where do I start??

Women that have to project their insecurities onto other women by acting like high school girls, giggling and gossiping at WORK as soon as I leave the room, after I spent a good amount of time CONSOLING the one older lady about her guy problems.

The one lady at work - EVERY time i give her a compliment, she turns it around into a criticism of ME. Example: I like your top- that's a pretty color. Rude lady: Thank you. I have trouble finding shirts because i'm so broad shouldered. (pause) Not big chested like you. (pause) Have you considered a breast reduction? Me (trying hard not to retort "Have you considered breast implants?"): No, I have no back problems. Rude, flat chested lady: You should consider a breast reduction. She also told me, after I complimented her hair, "You really ought to consider getting a hair cut, shoulder length, or maybe even chin length." Okay, criticize the "girls", criticize my clothes even, but LEAVE MY HAIR OUT OF IT!

People that park their shopping carts in the MIDDLE of the freakin aisle then move to the side to look for what they want on the shelves. The cart is YOURS, it will not hurt you, take it over with you.

When people at work change their minds. I'm writing a report/project a specific way- at their request- by the end of the report, they have all these changes- to the ENTIRE thing! OR they email me the document, then an hour later, after changes to the entire thing, they email another attachment with changes they want me to implement BEFORE i start editing. Okay, do you think once you send the document, i spend an hour just staring at it, admiring your work? No, not when you give me a fraction of the time i'm supposed to have to review the incomprehensive mass of letters.

My DH that has to question why i bought whatever I bought. Uh, i shop clearance. I'm a clothes freak, and a beauty product freak, and shoes, purses.... but not all at once and only on clearance. So I work hard for my money, i'm not going to answer to anyone as long as the bills are paid and we have a good amount in the bank.

My one single friend that finds it necessary to correct my kid IN FRONT OF ME- right after I DID IT, then smiles at me and says, "I'm going to make a great mom." *GAG* This is also the one that even after being told i'd be super busy over the holidays working extra jobs, etc, will call the cell three times in a ROW, then my house phone- i use this phone for my extra job!!!, THEN will IM me over and over. Saying EMERGENCY. Turns out a guy didnt call her.


OH YEA, I hate when grown women go on and on to everyone about how they arent pretty, arent this or arent that. Specially the ones with young daughters. Yea, that's great. Teach your daughters that low self confidence. It gets to the point where it's obvious they want you to reply, "Oh no, you're beautiful."
Yea, everyone has insecurities occasionally. But c'mon.


Women that let men just walk all over them. Then cry in surprise when men leave. Along the same lines, I had one friend, who is desperate to get married although she is so young yet, tell me that she wishes she had someone to call in the middle of the night if she had a problem. I was confused and told her she had me and our other friends. She was like, "Yea but... I mean a guy." I told her that someday she WILL find that guy, it WILL happen but she will also realize that there is no Prince Charming and there will be times that, even though he might be great, she will need her girlfriends and not to be so quick to dismiss them. I dont understand it. I love being married, adore DH (most of the time), but when i was single, loved that, enjoyed it. Never worried if a guy was going to call or whatnot. Ask myself "does he like me?" HAAAAAAAHAAAA, NO, i asked myself, "Do I like him?" Isnt that how it's supposed to be?


When DH's buddies at work (not really buddies, of course, but ones he works with) find it necessary to comment TO him, "Wow, I didnt realize your wife has such a rack on her." Or some other wildly inappropriate comment. Fortunately, my DH is very laid back, very NOT jealous and unless it is an outright VERY nasty comment, he'll just sorta shrug it off.


Yea, it's a ranting kinda day. Sorry. But thank you for the thread. LOL, had to get it off my chest (the one I have to reduce).

Not all those that wander are lost.

Please, i'm sorry, one more. I'm not an angry, bitter person, honestly i'm not but madison reminded me of something when she brought up family members that try to tell you how to live your life.

We bought a Jug last year (half pug and half jack russell). My DH always wanted a bulldog. A few months later, there was one at a price that was UNBELIEVABLE. (the pup had been bought then brought back cause the guy's wife said no way at the price. So the owner wanted him to go to a good home while he was still young. So, we hadnt planned on two dogs, have a small place but..... you live once, right?

When i told my aunt, she said, "WHAT???? Trisha, tell me you didnt. You dont need TWO dogs! That's ridiculous. You need a bigger house. Your daughter needs a bigger yard. How much did you spend? I cant believe it."

Okay, let's put things in perspective. I'm 30 years old, educated and working at a job in my field, and work extra jobs occassionaly... just because. My DH works also at a good job for good money. We have a great savings, good checking, no credit cards, and we are doing well. Why no house? Because we are planning, saving as much as we can, and taking OUR TIME. We dont jump at the first house we see.

I had this aunt jump down my throat when i took a leave of absence from college, when I got pregnant, and probably at one time or another, when I wiped my butt wrong. I never said a word but this time I went off on her.

How dare she tell ME what we didnt need? my daughter is very well provided for, as well as my stepson and why not have two dogs if we can provide for them as well? We work HARD! We deserve to get WHAT WE WANT! Our dogs are trained and obedient and my DD has learned so much responsibility and is GREAT with them. And two dogs is better than one, at least for me, because they entertain each other and actually we never had to train the bully cause he learned from the older dog right away!


K, i'm done. For now. Sorry. Really. Just one of those days.

OHHHH!!!!! I've got another one.....!!!!!

People who's answering machine message requests that you press certain numbers to leave your message for each particular family member! HELLO? YOU ARE NOT THAT POPULAR!! It's not like the family will get more than a couple messages while they are out--do you REALLY need them sorted? For some reason, this bugs the snot out of me and I refuse to play the game...I just wait for the beep and leave my message.

For classicdrm,

You go! Get the second dog. Personally, I think it's great to have two pets, so that each one can keep the other one company when I'm away. I think those are healthy well-adjusted pets who can become friends!
