I Can't Stand It When.....
 
Hello out there!!! Please help me out!!! Respond to the following...I'll start it...

I hate it when you call to check your account and the automated service asks to type in your account number and when u get customer service agent...they ask you for your account number:mad:

When I'm walking around the track and the crack of my butt starts to itch....and I can't scratch because there is someone behind me

:eek:

HotDamnImAPhiMu 07-27-2002 06:15 PM

I'm trotting around campus, talking to everybody there is to talk to, happen to stop by the bathroom, and notice I have something in my teeth from lunch. Three hours ago.

My magazine subscription is so late I finally decide it's not coming this month, so I go out to buy one..... and get home to find it in the mailbox.

I get a run in my nylons and EVERYONE points it out. Yes, thank you, I noticed.

Well dammit, it is important. That is how I make my $$$. I try not to B*tch about it in public forums but sometimes incorrect usage makes a person's post unreadable.

I can't stand it when MOFOS play games.

I can't stand it when MOFOS play games, they are wrong and then the scallywag wants to play jedi mind tricks and make you feel sorry for them.

I can't stand it when mofos call themselves apologizing by saying MY FAULT. What type of sh*t is that!?!?! Say I am sorry or I apologize.:confused:

FiReKraCkEr 07-27-2002 07:06 PM

...when I get 50 Pop-up ads on my compter when I'm looking something up and my FRICKIN computer freezes....

...when people talk sh*t about things they know nothing of, such as sororities, sexual orientation, or abortion w/o being in it, know people who are, or have been through it...

...STUPID ASS PEOPLE who don't need to reproduce, and will do a world a favor if they don't.

...when I'm sloshed and I say things I shouldn't but I do anyway. Then I remember the next day, and I cringe.

...when I'm talking to PNMs at Orientatin and the Rho Chis say I'm being "too nice"....how can anyone do that? Just by talking to them? *Note: I love our Rho Chis! My big sis is one, I just hate all the pettiness

I'm sure I can think of more later...and then I'll add them

Okay, have some more:

...you can't remember something and it drives you crazy for days...then you forget about it and when you least suspect it, you remember it.

...how guys can whore around and be called "pimps" and if females do it, we get called all sorts of wonderful names

...when people don't return their grocery cart to where it belongs

...being asked if I get hazed

...being asked to talk Korean, when people find out I speak Korean.

...Stereotyping!!

...being insulting on purpose with no regard for another human being's feelings

...When I'm online and 50 guys IM me and ask if I wanna chat.

...SPAM MAIL!!

Starlet 07-27-2002 07:15 PM

...people are ignorant and do not know what they are talking about.

...I hold the door for someone and he/she doesn't have the damn courtesy to say "Thank you." Jeez, some people need a lesson in manners.

...people talk during a movie.

...people can't hold their bodily functions to themselves. Sorry, I know sometimes you can't help yourself, but you can sure try to hold things to yourself sometimes!

...sketchy guys come up behind me at a club and try to dance with me...ick.

Dionysus 07-27-2002 07:27 PM

I'm sick of this eat/drink to you vomit contests on tv! :mad: :mad: :mad: How amusing. :rolleyes:

ugh i hate that too! its so rude..when people do that, being the b*tch that i am, i make sure to say "you're welcome" so that they can hear it

ChiOqt 07-27-2002 09:20 PM

..when people stare:mad:

....when people are rude to the waitresses, or waiters, at restaurants (I work in one and I can't stand when people are rude to me when I'm serving them)

....naive people!

.....when men say that a woman's place is in the kitchen...get in there and cook your own dang food:eek:

newbie 07-27-2002 10:24 PM

When people puff away on their cancer stick right in your face! I absolutely despise the stench of smoke!

CarolinaDG 07-27-2002 11:29 PM

.... The sound of smacking food!
....When people do things JUST to piss you off
.... When you FINALLY get over an ex, and suddenly he wants you back (is this a test? Seriously!)
.... When I walk all the way from my dorm back to the music building thinking I lost my keys there (and of course I can't DRIVE back), yet they were in my room the whole time (ok, so it's only happened once, but the music building's TWO MILES AWAY!!!)
... When ugly guys hit on me in bars

PotentialPledge 07-28-2002 12:48 AM

I hate when my parents say that I am a role model to my two younger siblings, I never asked to be a role model.

I also cant stand the fact that my parents were strict on me and they let my 16 year old brother do whatever he wants.

I really dont like when tourists act like they dont have any brain cells. Why are they always in the way? Why do they drive really slow on Pennsylvania Avenue? GET A MAP!!!

I hate when people generalize. Each person in each group, race, gender, fraternity, sorority are not the same.

On that same not I really dont like when people say to me "You speak so well." I get that a lot because I work with the public(tourists) everyday.

I hate when radio stations play depressing rock i.e Staind, Papa Roach among others.

I hate when you deposit a check on Friday it doesnt clear until monday so you have no money for the weekend.

juniorgrrl 07-28-2002 01:05 AM

Sorry, but I've got to say bad grammar. I'm especially sensitive to the misuse of the possessive form. DO NOT use an apostrophe unless you are indicating possession. It especially drives me crazy when big/little time happens around LSU and all the girls write "YBS (heart)'s U" in sidewalk chalk. Loves is a form of the word love, but does not indicate possession. I saw a sign today for a party that said "RUDYS." People misuse the damn apostrophe all the time and then don't use it the one time its important.

:mad:

ChiOqt 07-28-2002 05:11 PM

When you hear one of the many overplayed songs of the summer on the radio and try other stations to get away from that songs....and it's on ALL of them:mad:

douthit 07-28-2002 05:16 PM

I hate:

getting excited about 15 new email messages and twelve of them are junk mail!

picking up other people's slack!

AlphaChiS2K 07-28-2002 10:10 PM

...when my roommate makes tuna salad and leaves the empty cans in the trash so they smell up the whole apartment.

....when my ex-boyfriend calls me at 2:30 am to ask if he can "crash at my place" after being out all night. No, you cannot come get your rocks off, RJ. This is what a breakup means.

...when this one customer at work asks for the "2002 vintage Diet Coke." He thinks he's being so funny, but I want to stick a fork in his eye.

...bad grammar. I'll second that- and how about punctuation misuse of quotation marks? I hate seeing a reapir van with "Since 1979" in quotes on the side, or somethign like that. THE QUOTES ARE NOT NECESSARY.

...when the hottie at work doesn't ask me out. We're working on this, however, and I fully intend to be making out by the time my birthday rolls around.

...when people say "Wow! You're short!" when they meet me. No, really? I'm five feet tall? You've got to be kidding me. And all this time I've been deceiving myself.

HotDamnImAPhiMu 07-28-2002 10:56 PM

HAHAHAHA! you are hilarious! I love it!

chideltjen 07-28-2002 11:01 PM

i hear you on the short thing. i am 5'1 and i have a lot of tall friends. they always say, "jen you are so little and tiny and delicate." gee thanks now i feel like a porcelin figurine.

#1 pet peeve: when people leave their signal on for about five miles or more on the freeway and never actually change lanes. or better yet, when they leave their right blinker on for the longest time and cut someone off in the left lane... damn drivers.

i know some people do it and fine whatever... but people that fake and bake in tanning salons! what a waste of money! you are getting the same risks sitting in that bed as you do sitting outside with no sunscreen. And nobody, NOBODY should look orange/brown in the middle of december.

i work in retail. so when these ladies come in knowing that they either stole something or used a bad credit card and try to return it without a receipt and we decline... they get all "ghettofide" or something. they raise their voices and make the whole store notice that they aren't getting their money back because they didn't pay for it in the first place.

Ooh, that one gets me too! I was working at a temp job last week, and they asked me to type some labels for files and I was told to type EXACTLY what they said. It included a label that said "tape recorder." WHY it needed the quotes, I don't know, but I followed their directions. Grrr.

I am really not trying to be rude or difficult...

But I really hate when people generalize like this.

MUPhiMuKHap 07-29-2002 03:39 AM

I hate:

-When semi-trucks or other slooooooooow vehicles pull in to the passing lane and just SIT THERE! Come on people! It's called the passing lane for a REASON!
-When my brother feels the need to tell me about his sex life, yuck. :mad:
-When I waste my energy on liking a boy but I finally give up. Then as soon as I do, well, guess who's now interested in me? :rolleyes:
-When people assume I am stuck-up without taking any time to actually get to know me
-When people POINT OUT the fact that I have ADD....wow, tell me something I DON'T know! :mad:
-People who brag
-Annoying pop up windows that make my computer go psycho
-When my nail polish chips just hours after it's been put on. Arrgh.
-People from home who seem surprised when I tell them that I haven't dropped out of college like everyone else that graduated with us. :confused: :rolleyes:

I'm sure I have more, but these are all I can think of for now.

PM_Mama00 07-29-2002 11:15 AM

When people come into my work and ask like 100000000 dumb questions.

When my sisters think that every event should include their boyfriends.

When things that I plan all of a sudden turn into a date function.

When my dad is hanging out at my work, and gets into everything! AND asks who is on the phone every time it rings. I know you own the damn place but COME ON! My brother highly agrees with me on that one.

Can't think of anymore, but this is my #1 grrrrr....

When we're at a bar, and my friends complain about smoke. YOU'RE AT A BAR. In Michigan, the last time I checked, smoking was very much legal.

Oh thought of another... wen Im try-ing to tipe sumething and I haf this pheeling dat it's spelled wrongg....

AOX81 07-29-2002 11:55 AM

When I answer the phone at work and then the secretary runs back and says, "was that for me?" I just want to say "No, you f*cking b*tch, if the phone was for you I would have transferred the call to you!!!!"

When my boss doesn't do sh*t for weeks and then realizes that we have a big deadline...guess who gets the cracked whipped on her a$$?

When I can't leave 15 minutes early from work to let a repairman in our house but my boss can go for days without even showing up!

Dionysus 07-29-2002 12:33 PM

....bitch about my messiness. Neatness is impratical, it serves no purpose. Except when you have visitors of course. ;)

....people talk to damn long about boring things and then get mad whenever you space out or get fidgety

....kitchen workers and janitors hit on me. Do I look like one? No!

....girls act boy-crazy.

....people puke in random places.

....people ask me if my boobs and hair is real.

....my grandmother always have to pick fights with people out in public.

....people blame everything on race

....people bitch about grammar on the internet, it's the content that matters.

....people ask for BOOTHS, pick a table will ya'

....I tell people I don't need a boyfriend and don't WANT one, they think I must be a lesbo.

....fun nights turn gay! :D

FuzzieAlum 07-29-2002 05:35 PM

I don't think a man has to be super-fine to hit on me ... but when a guy twice my age with no teeth and a BO problem hits on me, I do think, "What is he doing? Because I really hope I'm out of his league."

HotDamnImAPhiMu 07-29-2002 06:13 PM

33 and Fuzzie...... y'all are wonderful. ;-)

Pinkgirl 07-29-2002 07:36 PM

I agree with you Librasoul! There is really no excuse for THAT generalization unless this person actually knew this statement was sure.....and it sounds like they don't.:mad:

HotDamnImAPhiMu 07-29-2002 08:02 PM

So sad that I read this for my kicks. (And seriously, this stuff can get SO funny.)

Wow do I need a job.

Eirene_DGP 07-29-2002 08:21 PM

I hate it when......

~People who are supposed to be Greek come up and ask what your letters say.

~When people talk loud about stuff they know nothing about.

~That one annoying guy on the plane who complains the entire trip saying this is wrong...I fly all the time...Obviously if he flew all the time, he would be accustomed to it.

~People are rude to service people like police, firefighters, military, etc...Ok they put their lives on the line everyday for you.

~Parents who want to come up to the "school house" and curse the teacher out when they know their child hasn't been doing what they are supposed to.

~When off-campus people think they can just drop by whenever since you live on-campus.

~Parents who teach their children prejudice, superiority.

~Professors who think they are right all the time.

~When the financial aid office yells out social security numbers and personal info.

~People who spread hurtful rumors... That is sooo childish.

~People who let their cell phone ring in church or even worse, at a funeral.

ugh! perfect time for this post!
 
* When stoopy boys act like they are your best friend and then accuse you of being in love with them like every week!!!!!!!!!

* When girls you hate just cant seem to disappear from your life!

* When you check your email and get your sororities schedule and your work schedule on the same day! I have no time this fall!

* When old men in bmw's flip you off because you were forced to cut them off due to construction!

* When you spend an entire months pay in 2 weeks! (How did that happen?)

FuzzieAlum 07-30-2002 10:33 AM

Oh, I am so with you on Greeks not knowing Greek letters. I guess it's one thing if they don't recognize our Xi, because it's uncommon (although they still SHOULD), but I've had folks ask what the Delta is. Heck, I learned that in high school chem, for pete's sake, just like I learned about Pi in math. What rock have these folks been under?

PM_Mama00 07-30-2002 10:55 AM

Ugh... just realized this on Greek Life.

Peekaboo thread titles. This isn't a newspaper, magazine, or whatever you have to do to make someone read your article. If you're posting something, put in the thread what it is, so GCers don't have to wasted their time reading a thread that is so unamusing to them. I just read like 5 threads that I thought, well hey let's see what's that about. Something that I could care less. Please, save ur fellow GCers the time and effort... give us a hint on what ur thread is about!

chioangel83 08-08-2002 05:49 PM

I can't stand.....

*When people ask stupid questions about Hawaii (believe me, it happens ALL the time) ex: So you guys go to school there? UH DUH...Do you drive cars? No, we take our canoes everywhere

*When tourists drive super slow on the highways and tie up traffic looking at the view or taking pictures. I know they aren't freeways but you dont have to go 15mph...this is especially bad during whale watching season when they have their eyes glued to the ocean.

*When people refer to the mainland US as "the states!" Hello, Hawaii IS a state. Grrr

*When people don't use their blinker and then cut you off at the last second...use them, that's what they are there for!

*When people don't say "please" or "thank you"....especially when people don't say "thank you" when someone does something nice for them. It's just basic manners.

*When people complain about how much they don't like something yet they do nothing to try and change it or they don't bother to get involved in the first place

*When my internet/computer/printer decides not to work the night before a big assignment is due!

*When guys leer at you/make comments from across the street/room/etc and except you to come running over and swoon

*When people are close-minded and refuse to acknowledge other cultures, ideas, beliefs, etc.

*Racism/sexism/homophobia

Rudey 08-08-2002 05:53 PM

No...sorry. I dance hula but we don't wear grass skirts. I only did once when I was like 8 and had one of those touristy hula outfits with the grass skirt and the fake coconut bra.

chioangel83 08-08-2002 06:53 PM

Ohh I thought of one more thing I REALLY can't stand:

*When the fire alarms go off in the dorms 10 times a night during finals week or the dead of winter!!
