Don't you hate it when...

[BatonRougeDelta]

Don't you hate it when....

You're attempting to get on the interstate and you have more than enough room to easily merge into the lane and some dumb-a%% increases their speed to keep you from merging.

When idiots fly like a bats out of hell to pass you then get right in front of you to make a dayum left turn.

When people have their small children out in public with no shoes/shirts or pants on.

People at Subway who don't have sense enough to watch their sandwich while it's being made but want to trip if you put the wrong thing on it...Pay Attention!!! (So glad, I've graduated and left minimum wage behind)

People think it's a compliment when they say,
"you're a cute/pretty dark skin girl," with amazement in their voices.

Little kids that know all the words to the latest rap hit but can't count to 10 or tell you their ABC's and older kids who can barely read and write but can figure out what Mystikal is saying....that is definitely not cute...wake up Black people!!

Credit card companies constantly call my house trying to get me into all those 3 month trial memberships for this and that...it's down right harrassment.

I guess that's enough venting for today.

Okay, one more..

Don't you hate it when your friends and family forget that there is a time difference between you and them, and either call you to tell you something funny is on (which came on 2 hours ago for you) or try to catch you before you go to work (which is really before THEY go to work..4am your time). Didn't their wallet come with that handy shaded map?

[MaMaBuddha]

gotcha....

don't you hate it when...

the person behind you in the supermarket runs his cart into the back of your ankle.

you can never put anything back in a box the way it came.

you slice your tongue licking an envelope.

you wash a garment with a tissue in the pocket and your entire laundry comes out covered with lint.

you set the alarm on your digital clock for 7pm instead of 7am.

my favorite:

The radio station doesn't tell you who sang that song.

you had that pen in your hand only a second ago and now you can't find it.

You can't look up the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because you don't know how to spell it.

You have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just browsing.

Ooo, Me! Me!

Don't you hate it when...

1) People tell you what card to move next when you're playing Solitaire!

2) People tell you they called you but you know they're lying because you have caller ID!

3) People who aren't greek have every criticism in the world about greeks and greek life, but you KNOW they really wanna be down (just didn't/couldn't make line)!

4) White people think their white skin is superior, but break their necks to bake themselves during the summer and brag about how dark they are!

5) A black dude acts like he can't even speak to a sista when he's with a white woman!

6) A dude starts dissin' you when you don't give him any play!

7) Store salespeople insist that you show them the outfits you're trying on or they follow you around!

8) The clerk at the gas station doesn't turn the pump on and you're either in a hurry or it's cold/raining outside!

9) The nice, expensive umbrella you just bought flips inside out at the slightest wind!

10) People keep talking even after you've said "I'm on the other line, can I call you right back?"

11) People flip through the channels for 30 minutes!

12) You send someone a personal e-mail that condones a response, but they don't reply to it-- instead, they send you dumb fowards for weeks!

13) Someone sees you in/with your Delta 'nalia, and they ask: "Are you in a fraternity?"


I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at 13!

Or how about....

When that child-proof seal seems to be you-proof.

Kids who disrespect their mothers in the supermarket.

Mothers who let them get away with it. (It just make me want to take off my shoe and...)

Someone finishing the leftovers you were saving for later.

Pouring a great big bowl of cereal, only to discover there's no milk.

You find a station with really cheap gas ($1.57 nowadays), but all the regular pumps are out of order.

People who have the nerve to say "I didn't know you were smart." to me!

Like I said I could go on forever!

Okay I couldn't resist...
Don't you hate it when
1. Some one with extremely loud breath insists that they get in your space to talk (hence my manager)
2. Some one boldly picks their nose in front of you (hence my manager)
3. White people think that you're from Jamaica just because you have an accent. (no offense to Jamaicans)
4. You're just about to take that last bite of your favorite food and it drops to the nasty floor.

Don't you hate it when:
1. You are heading towards an express toll lane and somebody cuts you off then tries to back up when he/she realizes that they are in the wrong lane.
2. Your fire alarm goes off during the night because somebody burning chicken four floors down.
3. People who know they called the wrong number leave msgs on your answering machine (i.e. aren't answering machines fun).
4. People who assume that everybody from New York State is from New York Metropolitan area.

My turn, my turn

Don't you hate it:

-when your favorite radio stations start playing your favorite songs AFTER you have arrived at wherever you were going

-when you're driving on the highway and some person insists on tailgating(even though there is PLENTY of room in the other lane)

-when it's about a minute before you're suppose to get off and a customer/boss/co-worker stops you to ask a question that will take "just a minute of your time"

-when the weatherman tells you it's going to be a hot day,but it's actually cold and you're dressed based on what Mr Weatherman said (well this only happens if you live in Louisiana)

-you got to go bathroom really bad and when you finally get to go, you realize there's no toliet paper

It's ol' c&c's turn!

Don't you hate it when:

To add to prospective rushee's last one- you're at home and there's no toilet paper under the sink cabinet either or the phone rings and it's a saleperson or a friend who doesn't want a darn thing!!

2)when you buy what you think is the cheapest gas and you find a station down the road that's cheaper.

3) when you are with your friends and a guy tries to get with one of them, but they turn him down, then here he comes trying to talk to you. (I don't think so)

4) when you ID'd (sp?) for lottery tickets or to enter a club/party and your 16 year old cousin can stroll on in the club.

DIDN'T you hate it-
when people said the macarena would replace the electic slide at wedding receptions or old folks parties.

Well to add my little .2 cents in this...

Don't you hate it when...
1.People lie for no reason
2. People come in your sphere of existance and and act like they are your friend only to go back to the girl/guy you don't like and cause a deeper problem (happened last semester)
3. People who are conniving or manipulative
4. Men who try to holla at you with a dang gold-tooth or a few of them in their mouths (I'm a sucka for pretty teeth and a pretty smile so anything less really turns me off)
4. People who cuss entirely too much (like every other word or sentence).
5. People who smack while they are eating

[Positive Kay]

I can relate with alot of you. Yall got me trippin' here. Here are mine:

Don't you hate it when......

1) you are the only person in a public bathroom and as soon as you start to "release", someone walks in. (Excuse the graphic details)

2) you have to use the bathroom really bad and you line the toilet with toilet paper and just as you're about to sit down...it ALL falls in the toilet.

3) you have to tell that same relative who your parents are at every family reunion, every year.

4) you're in a rush and the person in front of you on the the highway in going 50 mph in
the passing lane.

5) people ask you questions that they can easily find the answer to is they would only THINK!

6) your parents make you mad and you can't say anything back (because they are your parents).

7) someone calls you in the moring at 5am and asks you, "Whatcha doin'?"

8) you're late to work and it's REALLY because you were caught in traffic (you don't have a cell and your boss knows it) and your boss says, " OK next time call ahead."

9) a girl says that a guy was cute because he is "light skinned".

10) you're driving along and your song just comes on the radio and you are singing your heart out, you go in tunnel and the song is interrupted by static.

11) when a old woman cuts in front of you in line because you happened to step a little to the side to read a magazine and then stares in your face like she's wondering if you're mad or not.

Don't you hate it when:

1) You go to the gym, and a really sweaty person doesn't use a towel to wipe the machine after they are done and you want to use the machine next.

2) Just because you are tall people assume you play ball.

3) On the subject of being tall - You find the cutest shirt/pants but you cant wear it cause the sleeves/pants are too short.

4) Short males who try to holla at females who are noticably taller than them.

This is for all of my Customer Service Reps out there or anyone that has any experience with call que:

Don't you hate it when the next customer comes into your que and says "What took you so long?" as if you're the only person for that company answering the phones!

[Ms.CrimsonCream]

OH MY GAWD!!!

You all have me rollin!!

OK-- How about when you have your heart set on OJ/Kool-Aid/what ever drink in the fridge- and you find the biggest glass you can find in the house cause you KNOW there is enough to fill it up since you just bought it/made it/thought you were the last to pour some and there is ONLY enough in the container to wet the tip of your tounge

Or, you were the last to drive the car, and your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/roomie asks to use it, they have the nerve to return it to you on E. When they hopped on in it was more than half, if not full -- I forgot to mention, you are on your way to an appt or work and you are already runnin late!!

To all of you beauticians out there: Don't tell me you are on schedule when I call, but when I step in the shop, there are 2+ people that you haven't even started on, and some of them have the SAME appt time THAT I DO!!!

[prospectiverushee]

I got a million of them

Welcome to today's edition of

Don't you hate it:

-when you have you heart set on the last piece of pie/cake/slice of pizza/chicken only to find that a roommate/family member/boy/girlfiend ate it cause they "didn't know you wanted the last piece"


-when people see you coming your hands full,but still let the door slam in your face

- when you don't complian when your neihbors play their music loud, but your neihbor calls the National Guard if you so much as sneeze

-when people ask you your name and you tell the and they go "Where'd you get that name from?" if it's one they haven't heard before.(just a tip, I got my name from my mom. Where'd you get your tiny little brain)
