Dumb Stuff that drives you crazy - Part II

I just went to post this one, and the thread was locked. I forgot one that's driving me out of my mind right now! Have you ever noticed how many reporters and writers and newspeople use the phrase "Speak Out"? As in, the parents of Octomom "Speak Out", Michael Phelps "Speaks Out". It drives me insane! Talk about overuse of a phrase. And just how does one "speak out" anyway?

Hmmm...

George W. bashers

I used to work at Sears in the paint department, and it would drive me nuts when people would return used paint. Seriously, it took you 2 and a half gallons to realize that this wasn't the right color??? You only bought 3 gallons to begin with.

At this point in pregnancy, I'd have to say having to use the potty every 5 minutes is getting on my nerves.

My daughter being a walking hurricane. She leaves a disaster behind her wherever she goes.

Dh wanting me to answer the phone when I'm in the other room, and he's sitting right next to it.

Dh coming into whatever room I'm in and announcing that "he's taking over". Then he proceeds to take the remote and turn the channel from whatever I was watching to one of his CRAPPY shows.

Hearing "Where you at?"

I cringe every time. Is "Where are you?" so much more difficult to say?

1.Bad drivers...people who run red lights...

2. The idiots who zoom around on loud motorized scooters/ATVs/electric go carts/snowmobiles/'pocket rockets' etc - illegally in the park just behind my house.

3. My clueless neighbors, parents to about 5 kids, who lost one of their teens in an ATV accident right down the street yet STILL continue to ride them around the neighborhood recklessly (see #2) btw their 'legal' vehicles are a truck and SUV, both of which have no back bumper.

4. Bus passengers on the rush hour express who don't want to share a seat and try to hog a row of 2 or even 3 seats by spreading their body, purse, jacket, etc across it. Um the bus is full, people are standing in the aisle, the bus is not the place for you if you can't share a seat!

5. People who cut in line or - another version of cutting in line - walk up to the first person in line and start whining "Can I get in front of you I'm in a big hurry I can't wait" if that person says no, they move on to person #2 in line and start whining again,til someone says ok.

6. Coupon cop cashiers who say senseless things like...Well this coupon says $1 off ANY bread but I don't think they meant this bread because this bread... (fill in the blank)...

7. Passive aggressive people and backhanded compliments "oh I love those shoes, wow, I wouldn't have the guts to wear those to work, I'd never wear anything burgundy. But they are so cute on you!"

This has happened to me twice this month...I buy something from a store, get home..and the item is not in the bag ! ARRGHH!

Also, I buy an item off a shelf, it scans higher. I tell the cashier it was marked at $XXX. She goes to check on it...comes back all smug saying, " Someone must have placed it on the wrong shelf "..this also happened twice this month with me..First time a canister of Maxwell house, today it was a pack of chili mix in the marked down bin that rang up full price.

I am also annoyed when you go into a fast food place, and ask about a combo special you either see advertised on tv...or there are HUGE posters on the windows..yet no one at the store knows what the heck you are talking about ! They do not know how to ring it up.

Unhappy

Personally
people who are just plain and rude and truly mean sprited by nature
road rage very scary
people who drive and talk on the cell phone
people who still think its okay to smoke in my fresh air
cashiers and people behind me who complain about my coupons I love them to death
that with all the technology we have today and with all the millions of millions of people who live on earth, yet when you make a phone call, you never ever speak to a live person
also when you first call a new doctor and the first option is if this is a true medical emergency hang up and call 911 really I think I would know that lol
People who talk on their cell phones in public places I truly do not want to hear your personal conversations
People who take advantage of senior citizens.
Peace. catherine

My family members who like to play the game of Who can fit the most trash in the bin without changing the bag. I loose this game everytime.

Phone rings and a message tells you to please hold. Ya right I`ll hold for someone I didn`t call.

Grrr....I hate this one!

Our trash will actually start to birth little walmart bags of trash around the bin.

Trash used to be my husband's job, now it's my son's job. They're both equally bad at keeping up with it.

Channel cruising. Is it a guy thing? Hate it!

Overdone make-up and excessive perfume.

my girls who place their dirty dishes on the counter right beside the dishwashwer, even though they've been told at least a million times to put it IN the dishwasher!

It annoys the crap out of me (uhh, pun intended!) that what used to be a regular roll of toilet paper is now sold as a triple roll! Who do they think they're kidding?

I get the garbage babies too at my house. Sometimes they try to get away but I find them on the porch huddled together.....safety in numbers I guess.
