There was a furniture store in Milwaukee (Kohler's? It was 20 years ago) with a guy that would scream all the time. I hate that.
Over-the-top media drama for every little thing. Not everything is a crisis of epic proportions.
Stoopid Wall St. fatcats that are totally tone-deaf and won't lend money to small business but have no compunctions about bonuses so high they need to be expressed in scientific notation.:p
Reality shows. *barf* Enuff, already.
How about those really annoying internet ads? Like the ones promising that you can lose 30 pounds of belly fat by tomorrow afternoon.:rolleyes:
I am so deathly sick of all the renovation/design shows - I'm sorry, but I'm not even a fan of Extreme Home Edition or whatever it's called. I have no patience with someone on the telly telling what colour I should paint my walls or how I could transform my very small living space or how to put in a chimney or better yet, how my health can improve by changing my condo to "Phung Shway" or whatever that is. There should be a specific channel dedicated to those kinds of shows. OK, of my rant now.
Other things I can do without:
35 pounds
debt
bad drivers
disrespectful people
messy coworkers who don't clean up after themselves
Martha Stewart
Rachel Ray
Guy whomever he is on the Food Channel
Speaking about TV, I also hate all these big families coming out of the woodwork making a buck out of their daily lives. So you had 13 million kids - what makes you think that changing your kid's poopy diaper is something I'd like to entertain myself with??
OK, done for now
I could also do without winter storms that go from rain to freezing rain to snow over a 24-hour (or less) period. And having to go to the laundromat, I could definitely do without that by moving to a place with a laundry room.Quote:

4) My gall stones (linked with the above "could do without")
5) only having myself to depend on (the dogs don't count, they don't speak english, and don't have a paycheck rolling in!)
What I could do without:
1) Drama, especially in school and people who complain about there being drama and they are the ones causing it...:rolleyes:
2) Animal and child cruelty/abuse/neglection/abandonment:mad:
3) Rude, ungrateful people who only care about themselves
4) Kids who think it's cool to abuse helpless animals, and laugh:mad:
5) Irresponsible breeders
6) Uneducated neighbors who let their dog bark ALL DAY and are home all the time and don't deal with their barking dog (don't worry- I've called the city and they sent me a time log of barking times and they will be receiving a large fine) ;)
What I would like more of:
1) Responsible, educated pet owners who know what is takes to train, and take care of an animal for its lifetime
2) Responsible breeders!!!
I can do without this horrid cold.
Icy roads
Stupid interviews after a 'news story'.
Then the Nigerian bobo tried to blow up the airliner near Chicago the national news channel did interviews with people who were on the plane.....
(LOL, again the moronic cell phone photos from the bobo who are taking pictures instead of helping, praying or hoping that no one notices the smell from loaded shorts.)
There is always the moron that complains about the service, the incident or how things went in the cabin after.
I can guarantee you that I would punch the lights out of any reporter that TRIED to talk to me.
How do you think I feel?:eek: God just gave me a second chance by allowing me to fly with a buffoon that couldn't blow himself up, to save himself.;)
Sometimes it's better to shut up, kiss the ground upon leaving the plane and either going to play the lottery or devoting your life to poor people in 3rd world countries.
When something goes wrong on any aircraft, chances are you don't get a chance to watch it on the tube later on-so you may as well make the most of the rest of your life. :)
After spending half the day playing phone TREE with voice recognition software, on At&t's support line, I am ready to kill anyone with a indian accent. Why do we have IT for large companies in India. I went through At&t's online eRepair software that directed me to a 1-800 number because I needed to present my problem to a representive. After calling the number and entering my account #
it says "I see you have been troubleshooting a connection problem online". "would you like for me to direct you to a service rep"? Where does it connect me, BILLING. After a long detailed problem report to a real person, they inform me they are billing and gives me another number to call. This turns out to be a deadend number, so I call the original number again. The phone tree connects to Billing again. I explain my problem with this person that eventually connects me to a rep in India. After close to an hour of hassle back and forth we determine he doesn't have the information to resolve my problem. He then connects me with someone in the States, and after 30 more minutes of hassle schedules a repair tech to come to my home. END OF RANT:o:mad:
I can do without IT tech's in India.
I can do without phone trees.
I can do without voice recognition software.
I can do without but am stuck with At&t
If you want to spend your days hassling with At&t then get Uverse.
It was Detroit, not Chicago :)Quote:

Restasis eye drop commercial...cannot stand that woman doctor!
Any advertisement for weight loss programs with skinny celebrities...Jenny Craig, Nutra Systems, etc.
Kate Gosselin's hairdoo (On Saturday Night Live they said the front of her looks like she is going into an interview and the back looks like she just came in from a wind storm LOL)
Drivers who do not read the signs and are constantly cutting me off because their lane ended.
That's all I can think of for now but I am sure there are more...
OMG! I thought I was alone! I can't stand the patient even more. "What do I have?" in that zombie voice of hers.Quote:
