Pet Peeves

[Stef Carson]

Recently Kip and I went shopping for a new car. Each time I asked a question regarding the vehicle the salesman, a male, would listen to my question and then turn to Kip and tell him the answer. Implying that since I am a female I must be stupid. This really bothers me. Especially since I know more about cars than Kip does. I don't understand why most males, not all, seem to think that if you are a female you must be brain dead when it comes to cars.

Hi Stef, I don't want to sound insensitive to your problem, but the thing which struck me the hardest about your post is the fact that there now seems to be a real chance that "Kip Carson" is a genuine name *laughs*.

I always thought (and please don't take this the wrong way Kip, and of course Stef) that your name was a ....well...er...not a real one. You know like Mickey McMouse, or Donald McDonald.

Hey did you ever get see 'The life of Brian' and I remember seeing some quotes from that movie on another thread - when they are talking about joke names in Roman times....like Nautius Maximus and Biggus Dickus *laughs at the thought*

Nurse baby... who would fart while getting had from you? Lmaooooooo....

Pet peeves ahhhhhh the bitch of bitches..I HATE CELL PHONES... they ring in the car, while I am eatting.( Don't you just love to be at a nice place eatting a great meal and a Cell phone goes to ringing?) I have even walked out of a very nice place because of the guy sitting next to us got 3 calls before I got my salaid. I even asked him to turn it off he just smirked like he was someone special. I could write a book on the don'ts of cell phones... and that asshole at the red light that has been green for a while, with a cell phone shoved in his ear!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh I could scream!!!!!!

Wheeeew..... I needed that, I feel better now!

Remember when you went into a nice cafe and they asked you if you wanted smoking or non smoking area? And now when you go in you pleasantly ask for a table as far away from any little ungodly carpet rat or monkey puller (children) you can get. The host or hostess is sooo very pleasant and takes you to the perfect spot. You thank them and the next ten people that come in with kids get placed all around you. Why can't parents with kids take their little sardonic angels to McDonalds ... instead of turning nice cafes into a nursery cafeteria. arghhhhh!!!

People that hurt other people make me sad. What do they hope to accomplish by making other people unhappy?

 

[Golden]

Oh well. I'll start then …

1 :: cell phones, no not the peeve everyone else has, mine is: Mrs G calls mine from hers, leaves me a message, (like - "will you be home in time to help the kids with the homework and make dinner because I'll be late") then turns hers off! So I can't call back. And she thinks this is amusing!

2:: agree all the ones about kids who are systemically incapable of filling the dishwasher, putting sweet papers in the garbage, hanging up their school blazers when they get home (walk past the hooks to chuck them on the dining table….)

3:: TV ads; ok, so you gotta have them and at least in the UK they are mostly an art form, but why are they at double the volume of the movie??

4:: And having banned ads for cigarettes, can we PUHLEASE ban ads for all the crap which they are trying to sell to people who have given up smoking. I've just gone from 40 a day to zero and the last thing I need when quietly tucked up on the sofa with Mrs G hoping no-one notices how much I am now EATING is: Another reminder that I have just given up smoking!! GAH!

There will be more ….

One of my pet pives hasn't been touched on yet,,,I'm standing at the urinal in a public restroom and some asshole walks up next to you and stares at your dick,,,

I tell them,,"Yep,thats what a real cock looks like"!!
OR;

Standing there in the middle of a well deserved piss and some stupid M******F****R
brings his daughter in with him and she can't help but stare...
I usually try to piss on their leg or shoe and say OPPP's SORRY,,,yeah right,,,
Don't they know what thoses little signs on the doors are for???

Being a single parent, I can understand having to take your child into a restroom with you. You can't leave them outside alone. As much as it would be nice to assume no one would run off with them, you can't risk it. Now, I'm lucky enough to have a child of the same sex as I am, so I don't have to worry about that issue. But, I can see how it would annoy you, having some little girl stare at your dick. At any rate, until and unless everyone has a partner, this sort of thing will continue. This is why malls and airports (insert operative word here) now have these "family restrooms". This is the BEST idea out there. The only problem is, there aren't enough of them.

I can empathize with you, but you need to also understand that things like that are often beyond the person's control.

All kids are not that way and it is not the child's fault it is the parents fault. You can just as easily get up and leave. My kids do not act like that because they know what will happen if they do. You could always ask for a table in the kitchen. Just a few suggestions. Just kind of stepped on a nerve, Sorry.

Neither of my daughters, and neither of my granddaughters are a problem in public. I passed on responding as you did to the implication that all children are like that, because far to many are.

I don't get peeved at the kids tho.' It's the parents that let them act like that that get me irate.

Agreed, and parents need to teach their children to behave. After spending over 24 hours on airplanes not too long ago, I felt the need to throttle certain parents who felt it was perfectly all right to let their "child" scream at the top of their lungs for 7 hours across the ocean. You make babies? It's YOU'RE responsibility to keep them polite and out of other people's way. Restaurants are another example... a "family" sat across from us. The children stood on the table, threw silverware on the floor, screamed and cried. When they left, their table looked like the cafeteria scene from "Animal House". Absolutely revolting.

I know all children and parents aren't like this. I'm just saying these people are out there, and they must be stopped before I go to jail for socking Mommy or Daddy in the eye.

Waking up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water and the stepping on something that has that umistakable "Squish" sound.

Waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom only to sit down and realise AFTER your butt splashes in toilet water that your husband left the seat up AND didn't flush the toilet after taking a whiz.

Having to take a 3:00am shower after the *lovely* toilet incident.
