1.  Doctors that blame all of your ailments on being fat. A Dr. once told me I had a cold because my upper body weight decreased my lung capacity.

2. People that put their papers on my desk, or lean over on my desk at their appointment. Stay on your side of the desk. Do not breathe on me.  Do not pull your chair forward to be closer to me. Cover your germified mouth when you cough.

3. People that don't control their bad kids in public. 

4. Bad grammar and Ebonics.

5. Men that are cheap.

6. People with bad teeth that smile all the time.

7. Stores with 15 registers, but only one working during a busy day (Ross).

8. K-mart never has anything in stock that's in their sales ad. I HATE K-Mart!!!

9. Ignorant people. Whoever decided "ignorance is bliss" is a big fat liar!!! 

10. People claiming to be Christians, but are really hypocrites.

11. People that give a list of all their ailments when you ask "how are you today"  IT'S A RHETORICAL QUESTION PEOPLE!!! I REALLY DON'T GIVE A DAMN HOW YOU ARE!!!

12. Overdue bills that come with inserts to buy this incredible item at an incredible price for a limited time offer. If I can't pay for this thing I already bought that you're sending a collection notice for, what makes you think I need to buy something else??? Wasn't it a limited time offer that got me into debt in the first place?

13. George Bush!!!!!!!

14. Dirt under fingernails.

15. People that hang pictures too high. They're supposed to be at eye level. That is approx 3' from an average ceiling.

16. People that kiss dogs in the face and let them sleep in their bed.

17. Fat women that wear too tight clothes. All those rolls are not cute by any stretch of any imagination. If your man likes you in too little clothes, wear them AT HOME for him and spare us the view.

18. Drinking diet soda with a big mac value meal, like you're really gonna save some calories? NOT.

19. Reality shows that show the big reveal " after the break".  Can't you just show me now and then break?

20. People that don't know what they want to order at McDonald's. They've had the same menu since you were 2. Shouldn't you have figured this out before you got to the register?

8. K-mart never has anything in stock that's in their sales ad. I HATE K-Mart!!!

Imagine how upset I was on Black Friday when I was told they only had 3 damn powerwheels they advertised in stock that day.  I  have twins so I needed 2 of the 3.  Can you imagine how pissed I was that morning?  I got two though.. in fact, I grabbed all three, one for the nice lady in line behind me..

I hate Kmart too!

Let's see. 

#1 - bad grammar, especially when posting to boards like this.  Now, everyone is entitled to a misspelling or whatever every now and again...I'm not a perfect speller by any stretch of the imagination.  What I hate is when some one uses things like "your" and they really mean "you're".  It's like nails down a chalkboard for me.

#2 - I agree with LaShelle about overwieght people wearing clothes that are too small.  Yes, to find properly fitting clothes you may have to spend more (heck the only place I can get decent clothes right now is Catherine's) tough ****!

#3 - People who use their IPods and MP3 players too loud.  If I can hear your music, you are damaging your ears!  (sorry, I work in a high school...as the speech pathologist, I'm always telling students to turn down the music).

#4 - Parents who don't give a hoot!  Again, I work in a high school, a poor one (we are a "needs improvement" school...our principal keeps telling us we are on "double secret probation") with the majority of the students being hispanic or African-American.  And many of the hispanic students are illegal.  But you know, I'm having an annual IEP for your special needs child, the least you can do is SHOW UP!!!!!  Especially the illegal hispanics...you came to this country to give your child a better future.  If you child is in 10th grade and can't read beyond a 2nd grade level and isn't at least trying...I NEED YOUR HELP!

#5 - Mandatory school meetings that have NOTHING to do with me!

#6 - US automakers!  I'm one of the most bleeding heart liberals you will ever meet, but they got themselves into this mess, why are we going to bail them out?  Why don't they do what most private companies do in this situation...file Chapter 11 and restructure, it worked for Delta.  And if the Unions made some concessions to union contracts maybe all their workers wouldn't lose their jobs!

#7 - George W. Bush ('nuff said)

#8 - Morons who abuse animals!  Like the guy in Murphey Candler Park in DeKalb who beat his dog with a sledgehammer and left him for dead.

#9 - To give Cobb schools a whole week for Thanksgiving, they took away President's day in February.

#10 - Health insurance companies ('nuff said)

#11 - my neighbor who has several dead trees in their backyard threatening my home (1 already fell on my house last February).  The trees have been dead for years and they have been aware for years (I bought the house 5 1/2 yrs ago and I know the previous homeowner tried to get them to take care of their trees)

Okay, I had more to say than I thought.  I guess I got on a roll...unfortuantely, I know there are more.

One more BIG one...when a store employee or someone who doesn't know me tells me to have a Merry Christmas.  I'm not a Scrooge or anything, but a cashier saying "Happy Holiday" instead of  "Merry Christmas" is way more appropriate.  Even someone who doesn't celebrate anything shouldn't be offended by a "Happy Holiday" greeting.
