KappaStargirl 11-21-2001 04:53 PM

1. People who don't sign their credit cards

2. Parents who don't watch their children in public

5. Men I'm not related to calling me "Honey"

6. The women who come up to me at my holiday job at the Limited, carrying huge Louis Vuitton purses and wearing every ring and bracelet Tiffany's has ever made, who ask me for no apparent reason "Can I have a discount?"

7. People who think that just because I'm a librarian, that I've read every book ever published. Then, when they find out there's a book I haven't read, they say "And you call yourself a librarian?"

8. Finding a place to park your car in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

9. Rush hour on the 405. I don't know why they call it rush hour, you don't go anywhere.

10. People who push their religious beliefs on you. I deal with a lot of those, since Harry Potter is very popular at my library. Hence, lots of people calling themselve Christians tell me that Harry Potter is dangerous and encourages children to be Satanists. Obviously, these people have never read the book.

Not just rush hour-- ANY hour on the 405--its not a freeway, its a parking lot.

alphachiohmy 11-21-2001 06:51 PM

10. People who are slow: at the grocery store, at a restaurant or on the road.
9. The sound of nails on a chalkboard or a similar sound.

7. Professors who hold class the Wednesday before Turkey Day - Grrr. That is why I am still in Carbondale.
6. Smokers, especially those that burn you at a bar or get together. (Not to offend anyone, but its just a personal peeve.)
5. Guys who try to pick you up after they have just rammed their suped up Cadilac into the back of your Green 2001 Saturn that you are paying for all on your own. (I guess any wierdos that try and pick you up, fall into this category too)
4. Junk e-mail and other mail, that you have no clue why you still get. i.e. Columbia House mailings, even though you stopped asking them to send things two years ago on two occasions.
3. Roommates who are supposed to pay bills and then don't, which is why my cable was disconnected and we keep getting threatening calls from the power co. And my roomies are out of town. Thank goodness I am outa here Dec. 15.

And the number one most irritating thing for Rhonda is:

technically, theyre not suposed to accept it if it is not signed - thats what the NOT AUTHORIZED UNLESS SIGNED means on the back by the signature box - a few times i've used my dad's credit card, and they look at it and the signature - and the cashier is like ok, thanks! hello!!!!! Nicole looks nothing like Richard! Oh dumb sales people.....

Oh. So does that mean all my discover card purchases weren't authorized. And therefore I owe them nothing? I wonder if that will hold up in a court o law?:D

A girl can dream can't she?

xok85xo 11-21-2001 09:10 PM

1. banks that charge you an overdraft fee when you bounce a check..obviously you don't have the $$ in there to begin with

2. phone #'s that come up unavailable on caller id

3. slow drivers..well..slow people in general..especially slow walkers but you can't get around them

4. people that get significant others, who they end up spending 24/7 with, but as soon as their S.O. is busy/out of town/etc they are your best friend again

5. people that come to my work(i work in the computer labs on campus), and tell me that their computer won't print, when there are specific instructions DIRECTLY AT EYELEVEL ABOVE THE PRINTER about what to do if your computer won't print

6. people that don't dress for the weather(shorts in a snowstorm)

Amen, sister! Have you been on the 110 lately? Its a nightmare.

And lucky me, 1/2 of my drive to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow is on the 405. Call the Highway Patrol if I don't check into GC by Monday. :rolleyes:

AlphaChiS2K 11-21-2001 10:08 PM

1. People who knock on the door AS THEY ARE WALKING INTO MY ROOM- this completely defeats the purpose of the knock, you idiot.

2. Being a waitress in a restaurant that closes at 10 pm and- it never fails- always being the one to catch THAT TABLE that walks in in 9:59 pm.

3. People who wear pantyhose with open toed shoes. And panty lines. God invented thongs for a REASON, ya'll.

4. My ex-boyfriend, who always invades my life precisely at that moment when I am getting involved with someone else.

5. The "acknowledgement nod"- ladies, you know what I'm talking about here. When the guy you're hooking up with sees you around campus and rather that actually give you the courtesy of hello, tilts his head to show you the underside of his chin to convey a greeting. I HATE that.

6. Guys who do that "ssss" thing when you walk by. What is that? Am I supposed to be attracted to that? What, do I have a snake fetish or something? Uh-uh.

7. How if you are having JUST ONE bad day, and happen to say something a bit snippy, there will always be THAT GUY around to look at you weird and say "Is it your time of the month?" NO! It is NOT my time of the month, jackass! I just DON'T LIKE YOU!

8. Britney Spears. The girl looks like a damn fetus! Her eyes are too far apart- they're practically on either side of her head!

9. My Behavior Principles professor. Quite frankly, I don't need to know about your diarrhea. Likewise,I don't need to smell your feet when you remove your shoes and socks during the lecture. And did you hear about this radical new concept called bathing?

10. Three words: New York Yankees.

aephi alum 11-21-2001 10:49 PM

There are so many I can't even rank 'em.

#1 has to be IDIOT DRIVERS. Y'know, the folks that cut in front of you without looking b/c they're too busy yakking on their f***ing CELL PHONE. Now, I own a cell phone, but the only time you'll catch me using it in the car is if (a) I'm pulled over or (b) I'm calling 911.

#2 has to be idiots without brake lights. In Connecticut, safety inspections aren't even the law. More than once, I nearly rear ended some a$$hole who stopped short in front of me, because he didn't have any brake lights. :mad:

#3: Then there are the people who can't be bothered flushing the toilet. Ewww. :p I have some of those at work... ewww...

I will add some more when I'm more awake... :)

5.People who try to read my newspaper over my shoulder. Usually on public transportation. Get your own friggen' paper ya cheap bastard!
4.Non greeks who think your initiation included killing sheep.:rolleyes:
3.hate groupshttp://www.plauder-smilies.de/countdown.gif
2.religious bible thumpers.Trust me they come in all colors.
1.That idiot girl I work with who told me and I quote "All black people are good athletes and dancers". Yes, I restrained myself but I was honestly about 2 seconds from punching her in the face.http://www.plauder-smilies.de/nono.gifhttp://www.plauder-smilies.de/rough/twak.gif

Just wait until someone steals your card, signs the back, and then gets a fake ID made in your name.

THANK YOU!! That is EXACTLY why you should sign the card, not write "check ID." Some merchants will refuse to take a card that doesn't have an actual signature on the back because they could lose their jobs (card isn't authorized for use by its owner, ergo merchant is not authorized to accept it). I never bother to ask for ID, my reason being that I HAVE to assume that all the credit cards I see have been stolen (because people can be crooks!). Even if the name on the ID matches the name on the card, I still can't prove the card belongs to the person who gave it to me if it shows no actual signature. If the card is stolen, I can't do anything about it, I am under no obligation to ask for ID. I have to hope that the credit card company catches up to the crook.

Signatures are much harder to copy than most people think. Signing your card is your BEST protection against fraud. If your card should ever be stolen, one of the first questions your creditor will ask you when you call to report it is "Was it signed?" If not, you can be liable for any purchases made by the thief. Not signing your card gives license to ANYONE to use your card.

Sorry to go on so long, but we have to be careful with the holiday season approaching. There's a reason I put this rant as #1.

valkyrie 11-22-2001 12:45 AM

Okay...

1. pop up ads
2. oblivious slow walkers -- the ones who walk two or three across, taking up the whole sidewalk so you can't get around them, and their friends, who walk two or three across coming the other way so you either get flattened by them or smooshed against a building
3. SUVs (I'm sure I'll catch holy hell for that one)
4. guys at the gym who lift way more weight than they can handle, and to make up for it lift waaaay too fast and grunt
5. Tom Green
6. Courtney Love
7. people who walk down the street smoking cigars, or cigars in general
8. the pee smelling alley I have to walk past on my way to work
9. heat -- as in hot weather or having the heat turned up too high inside -- nowhere in the world should ever be hotter than 75 degrees, EVER
10. (getting serious for a second) -- people who don't take care of their animal friends, and the fact that thousands of animals are euthanized every year because they have no homes, or are abused, or don't get the care they deserve. :(

8. people who openly treat others as "lesser" humans due to economics or race-unkind/critical people

just a few
 
knowing that i spent 4 more years in graduate school to get a doctorate degree and some people that have a 4 year degree and did not go to grad school get paid way more (computer jobs-though I don't have to worry about being laid off)

Knowing that men are paid in my profession better b/c they have the "penis contract" and yes this is a fact

walking into a room to examine a 5 year old dog that is on its fifth litter of puppies-the people have no money and they purposely bred the dog, now it needs a c-section and they can't afford it so I have to euth. the dog:mad: :mad: :mad:

euthanizing ANY animal that can potentially be cured b/c of financial situations, but in return the client writes a complaint letter to my boss saying that we should love animals and treat them for free, I love animals but I also have to make a living

also breeders-mainly dog or cat breeders-many of them know that there are MILLIONS of animals euthanized each year b/c they don't have a home but still insist on breeding a bull dog that first of all should not be in this world b/c of all the genetic problems and can't even give birth naturally b/c of the bred in features

humans having too many kids-we have enough people in this world as it is


bad veterinarians that blatantly commit mal practice but i still have to kiss their f***king a$$ and clean up their crap

people that insist on getting exotic animals-we don't need to try and domesticate alligators or sugar gliders-leave them in the wild please

gaining wt.

school loans

sorry I guess this was more of irritating aspect of my job but I guess that is a huge part of my life, ahhh this is like therapy-I feel much better

ok i better stop

SilverTurtle 11-23-2001 01:08 PM

In no particular order:

1. People who have a driveway, but insist on parking on the street- especially when the person across the street does the same thing & I can't drive down the street!

2. When trendy new styles come out & I can't find the old style that I like that fits me correctly! (I favor simple, classic styles most of the time). Example: I have to agree with Kappa Star- those low rise pants suck for any woman with hips.

3. Kids that are running around unsupervised in public (stores, restaurants, etc.) Especially when the parent is standing right there watching it.

4. People who don't tip well. (At least 15% people!)

5. Driving anywhere in Columbus, Ohio.

6. Customers who always want to get a deal- for no reason- and customers who treat salespeople (or anyone that works with the public) like they are "beneath" them.

7. Americans who have no real grasp of politics, geography, history or other pertinant information.

8. People who don't take advantage of their good fortune/circumstances.

9. Big corporations who don't have any respect for the people who actually work and make the money that the big CEO's, VP's, etc. get in their salary.

10. Over zealous people (religion, sports, anything).

And my extra bonus :

11. Censorship (banned books, people who want to control the Internet, etc.)

I had a roommate who would never pay his bills on time, so we switched all the bills to his name. It was a piece of cake. We got his SS# and then we called the phone, cable , and power co and made the switch..

Your observation is on point. I've seen "penis contracts" at several of my jobs. ...:mad: :rolleyes:

AlphaSigLana 11-23-2001 03:27 PM

1)Girls who wear ripped jeans- oh can they be comfy when not only is the knee all the way gone but so is most of the leg. I can't stand ripped jeans unless it is near the bottom of the leg- I understand that
2) People who don't turn their blinkers off
3)When writing my DL on my check isn't good enough and hte clerk has to see my id- sometimes i forget it. I don't drive everywhere!
4)Not getting the guys I want
5)Not being able to hold as much liquor down as my friends- It's not fair!
6)Having teachers who finish their subject for the day, but decide they don't want to let us out early so they will talk some more
7)People who don't rinse off their dishes
8)Overflowing trash
9)People who don't wear deorderant
10)Taxes!!!!- My check is so small bc of damn taxes

13)Teachers who misspell words-drives me nuts
14)People who don't say excuse me, but shove their way through
15)Guys who don't give up their seat on the bus for girls!
16)CD packages- sometimes they take forever to open
17)People who complain about role models, yet let their little kids attend concerts, wear half shirts, and glitter. COme on people- I like Britney Spears, but I would never let my five year old dress like her. Someone brought their five year old dressed like Britney to the concert here in Denver-the guy doing the review couldn't believe it.

To moochago(?)
I thought guys liked shaved pubes? Why would that irritate you?
