What....

ebcause

'scuse me but you mispelled a word in your post and I don't want Tia upset anymore than she already is.

(giggle)

I saw it, but didn't say anything!!!  Truly, I'm not LOOKING for things, it's just an occupational hazard!!!

Kind of like when my brother and I went out to dinner and saw the appetizer list:

Crab balls (those poor crabs - what did THEY do to deserve that?)
Steamed shrimp
Oysters
Clamari

My brother actually noticed it first and made me repeatedly read it to him until I saw what he was talking about!!  LOL!!!!

haha

I didn't misspell it as much as typed it with dyslexia

Some of my biggest pet peeves are related to driving.

1 - People who swing left to turn right. I always feel like I am going to get nailed when I happen to be in the lane next to them that they are swinging into.

2 - People who start their left turns too early and literally cut off the person coming out of the street they are turning into. And when they look at me there with a shocked "omg you are going to hit me" face, they act even more ignorant.

3 - People who race all over the lanes at the tunnels cutting people off left and right. Hey we all have to get to work in one piece, thank you very much! Especially if they travel the tunnel every day, I wish they would prepare to get in a lane ahead of time that is more in line with the section of tunnel lanes they prefer to use.

i know there are more. I just can't think of them right now.

Other things that get to me....

4 - People who treat the office kitchen like there is a maid on the payroll to clean up after them. It drives me crazy to enter the kitchen to find spills, crumbs, etc. all over the counter. I am sure they don't do this stuff in their own homes. So why do they do it here?

5 - I agree with the one about the rest rooms, the same applies to the counters too around the sink. It only takes an extra second to tidy up before you leave. My favorite is the person who does not want to touch the door knob on their way out. So they take a paper towel, open the door, and then drop the towel on the floor of the rest room on their way out!!!!! I don't see what is so difficult about taking the towel back to your desk and placing it in the trash.

6 - I also agree with the one about people who feel they are superior to others either because of their zip code, education, or other factors. This is even worse when they obviously display their opinions not caring who they might hurt in the process.

7 - Regarding the shopping - How about the ones who shop in groups and take over the entire width of the aisles? and then refuse to make room when others come from the opposite direction.

I know there are more general annoyances too. I just have to get back to work!

Thanks for the opportunity to vent.

Deb -

#4 - Because they know MAID DEBBIE will clean it up!!!  Just like MAID TIA used to!!! We don't have a common lunch area anymore!!!!

#5 - See #4.

'scuse me Deb....see above post about mispelling words.

Dr's offices who don't return phone calls

and yes Tia I called them all again

The sad thing is, you shouldn't have to call them again at all.  Now that you have, call them every single day until you get an answer. 

I thought of one that nobody posted!

Big companies who get bailout money from the government (paid by the taxpayers) then turn around and give 73 employees bonuses of $1 million or more; 11 of whom are no longer there.  WTF?!?! 

Oh, yeah, that's a good one.  Especially since I have friends out of work, almost out of homes and owing the IRS their firstborn!!!

And now, we can't touch some of this money???  I WANT IT BACK, DAMMIT!!!!!
