Things that piss you off?

[bailadora]

People who don't properly restrain younger children in car seats. God protect the three year old I saw bouncing around in the back seat of a car today. There's just no fucking excuse for that people!

When someone doesn't follow through on something that they tell you they're going to do.

 

[SlickTony]

When someone starts a story series and ends the last story with a cliffhanger and then doesn't continue.

The on screen weather channel woman who (for many years) thinks the GULF of Mexico is the GOLF of Mexico!

Oh, for that you can blame the culture of television, which for many years attempted to bleach and iron out anything that marked you as being from one particular part of the country, in favor of the "Hi, I'm from nowhere" accent. (Public TV is a little better about that; they must not have been able to do anything about Bill Moyer.) She probably grew up pronouncing it "guff" or something like that and she's overcorrecting.

People who use the redundant one year anniversary. Or something like six month anniversary. I was brought up to believe anniversary was an ANNUAL observance.

Something must be coined to express commemorative dates the way people who say one-year anniversary, or six-month anniversary want to express them.

For that matter, I'm always bemused when the people at my work who act as receptionists go over the loudspeaker and say "---------, please dial extension 1000." Dial? Dial? None of these young women will have seen a dial phone except in a period movie, but no one has quite arrived at a substitute word, although there is no reason, now that I think about it, that they couldn't simply say "call."

People that complain..this and that, this and that..sigh

Then what are you doing here? Oh, never mind, just noticed your tag...

Your failure to meet your distribution date is on the net and in the newspapers, as is the fact that they will be redistributed tonight, the only thing missing is the phone call to let us know so we can make sure there are actually people available to redistribute your failed distribution.
Double runs suck, they suck even more if I haven't had any sleep.

Shows what I know, it wasn't a double run obviously, it was a triple and one of those ones that just takes all the fun out of life.

Lip service (not the good kind either).

I think it's worse if there is coffee but no milk...

The war between LIN Broadcasting and Time Warner Cable

 

[pleasteasme]

Generally speaking? People.

More specifically:
*People that are allergic to listening

*Ones that drive slow in the fast lane when there is nobody in the slow lane


The list could go on and on but I don't want this to turn into my bitch session.

 

[HotheadKali]

The constant reminder that my working myself to exhaustion every day and night will never end until I roll over and die.

My tax money being used to bail out Wall Street while top employees get enormous year end bonuses for running failing businesses.

 

[wicked2bme]

People who answer their damn cell phone when your in the middle of a convo with them !

 

[Mr-Gyrus]

People who push their religious beliefs on me, even when they know how I feel about religion. I can forgive someone who doesn't know me. However, when a person gets to know me AND they still want to shove their religious views down my throat.....golly, that just cheeses me off, and it is just rude to boot!

Totally agree! Why is a phone call more important than the person in front of you?

 

[IvorySands]

My tonsils. They keep getting in the way.
