I Can't Stand It When..... - Page 2

AlphaChiS2K · #1 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.

HAHAHAHA! you are hilarious! I love it!

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.

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.

-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?

-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!

-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.

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

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....

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 · #10 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!

These posts crack me up!
Funny much...

FuzzieAlum · #13 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 · #14 07-29-2002, 06:13 PM

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

Pinkgirl · #15 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.
