PET PEEVES, PART 3
No, don't worry, this won't be a permanent post!! LOL!!! Unless Sugar Free Candy wants to do it!! I'm just especially peeved this a.m.!!!
Verizon - My phone battery died last night (2nd one in a week). That has me thinking it's the PHONE, NOT the battery. I switched batteries with Dad, but it's not holding a charge. The worst thing is - I missed meeting my Skulldoctor Mikey on his way through Baltimore last night!!! WAAAAH!!! Although I know him, he's thinking I just blew him off!!! Actually, it's Ren's fault, I think, after she called me last night.....it just died. Wonder if it caught her cold????
People (women, in particular) who affect the dialects of another race or culture. This makes me NUTS!!! Whatever happened to good old English? GRRR!!!
The little, non-English guy on the other end of the DD drive-thru speaker!! About 3 months ago, I went through the drive-thru, ordered my usual - large coffee, 10 Splendas (YES, 10 Splendas), extra skim milk, and...this is important.....STIR IT UP!! I HATE getting coffee that's not sweet until the last mouthful. Anyway, I get to the window and I get a coffee and a soda!!! He misunderstood STIR IT UP for SODA. He fixes it, no problem. Every single time since then, when I place my order, he repeats it back to me and says, "And soda??!" He's SOOOO funny - NOT!!! I mean, it was funny the first time, but 3 months later, I'm not seeing the humor. So....if you read about a little non-English guy being pulled the drive-thru window, call my attorney friend Jimmy!!! LOL!! GRRR!!!
Easter Candy - It's out there....."Tia..............eat me, Tia.................lick me.....!!" Oh, wait, that's Skulldoctor, NEVER MIND!!! LOL!!! Actually, it's the individually wrapped Mary Sue eggs and Reese's eggs that WANT ME!! DAMMIT, if I could find a man who entranced me that much, I'd be a happy girl!!!!
Women with facial hair. Come on. I don't care if you're of some descent that makes you prone to more hair than a man, have PCOS, or just don't care, but I REALLY don't want to see it. I know waxing and all the other treatments are expensive, but dammit, take a disposable razor in the shower with you - every day, if need be!!! It's just gross!!! And dandruff on dark eyebrows??? O M G!!!! BLECH!!!!
Last one (for now) - This a.m., as I'm in SB, two women at the counter were talking (LOUDLY) about............................PLACENTAS. Please, "ladies," not while SB is brewing coffee and making breakfast sandwiches with EGGS!!!!! EWWW!!!!
Okay, rants over!!! Thanks for listening!!!!

O M G!!! See what you started????? LOL!!!!

I know I'm not supposed to laugh and that it's a really bad thing, but he corrects his step-father when he's being corrected. But, honestly, can't my husband speak proper english? I mean it is his first (and only) language. My son will ask my husband- Could you please use proper english when you ask me to do that? But, then my husband says "I can AX you to do it however I want to! You best be listening." (The "best be" part really gets my son's goat! LOL)
on facial hair.
I'm gross I keep tweezers in the car and tweeze at red lights. the sunshine is good light. the mirror is close. and i'm sure it makes the guy in the car next to me crack up.

.... and I LOVE the DD guy Tia. I think he's charming as he repeats back the DD order and than says... Thank you. I say thank you, and he says, you're velcome.
Sorry if I gave your phone a cold. I needed that info ASAP and didn't have time to go through th posts to find it. I'm going away for the last weekend in May and wanted to make sure there was no conflicting dates.
Speaking of words that are pronounced improperly or used incorrectly... here's one for you....
I was having a conversation with Pete, Mom and probably my kids one day and talking about my former roomie. The roommie was a male who enjoyed waiting on me. The minute I'd walk in the door, he'd be there with a drink and wanting to ask about my day at work and such when all I wanted to do was have 15 minutes of peace and quiet. My children were brought up to leave mom alone for a few minutes when she first gets home. So anyway... I was talking to Pete and my mom about this former roomie and then said, "Hell, even my kids knew that when I got home from work, I needed some time to decompose!"
Of course Pete laughed and I had to figure out that we compose ourselves, but don't decompose until much later.
I'm heading out to the Minute Clinic soon and thank goodness they do accept my insurance. Otherwise it would cost me about $65. Thanks for telling me about it!!
~hugs~
