Yesterday Winston was at the vet for just a check up and I don't think anyone in there didn't say this to their dog...
"Oh you better be careful, that big Dobie wants to eat you!"
Yeah right, he was sitting nicely beside me just looking around, waiting for his turn to see the vet.
I always get these comments or similar ones refering to how vicious they are with the Dobes and Rotts.
I have a lot but here are a few:
When some people are mean but think it is funny. Like today, my friend and I were at a UIL event and there was some kid holding the door with his foot. When we walked in he let his foot go so the door hit us. He of course started laughing :rolleyes: That has happened to me before and it really irks me.
When a guy and his girlfriend start kissing in public (not just a little kiss but like kissing to an innapropriate extent). While we were in San Antonio, we were waiting for a trolley and there was this young couple who decided it was o.k to be kissing not only on the lips but on the neck. Then the guy put his hand down her pants as to touch her butt. Gross :eek: all this while a mother and her young children were waiting for a trolley :eek:
just a few but i have many more...

i HATE it when people dont put there grocery carts away.Our car has gotten hit by one before,and now there is a dent on the drivers door.I just wish people would take 30 seconds to put there cart back or atleast into those stalls they have in the parking lot,thats what theyre for. :rolleyes:
And i hate it when people make comments about Kodies size.
I've been extremely irritated over the past couple days by some ridiculous statements some of my co-workers have made. It drives me nuts when theoretically intelligent adults make statements like these:
First, let me give a little background on "Bob". He's in his late 40's,has been promoted twice in the last year (about a 10K raise) his youngest of two is just starting college, his sister is a year older. He has just refinanced his first mortgage and has taken out a second because he doesn't want his kids paying for college themselves. He also is using an additional loan to remoel his house.
Bob: "I hate the President, 'cause in the last two years I'm making more than I ever have, but I can't pay the bills the way I used to. Everything is dubya's fault"
Um, Bob, maybe you can't pay the bills because your income has gone up 10K but your expenses have gone up roughly 25k per year? But it's all Washington D.C.'s fault.
Second, also from "Bob".....
"This soap ate right through the drip pan under it! I wonder what it's doing to our hands?"
Me: "Bob, can you put caustic soda in a metal container?"
Bob: "No, it will eat through it"
Me: "Bob, caustic soda is a base. Soap is a base. The soap has had 2 years to eat through the drip pan. Soap is a weak base, but given enough time, it will have the same effect."
Bob: "No, it doesn't work like that. Soap isn't the same as caustic"
To understand why the second is frustrating, we work with chemicals all the time, and have to read the safety sheets on them before use. If you can't understand my comments about the soap, how in hell can I trust you to be working with chemicals near me?!

(It goes back to the "I'll pay your school as long as you go.." Thank god i don't haave any kids.....I'd tell them to pay their own way and when they get their degree we will settle up....think about the interest he could make making the kids pay their own school and look towards a nice nest egg when they graduate!)
AHA!
I thought I was the only one that read the MSDS sheets!.
But then again I find cereal boxes good stuff to browse!! :rolleyes:
Hey, at least you didn't put solvent-laden water into a plastic drum...*boom*. only a little one though. This happened at work last week and the kitty output sure hit the ventilator blades! :eek:
Oopsie?
Smokey, I'm afraid one of Heinlein's predictions has come true.
Pardon my stream of consciousness writing here, but I have a few to add:
Manners. A friend of mine went to apply for public aid and asked me to go with her since the wait is very long. While we were there, a lady who worked there would occasionally come out and hand out coloring pages to the little kids. She must have come out 3-4 times and handed out 10-15 pictures. Not once did I hear any child say, "thank you." What's worse is that none of the parents told their child to say thank you! :mad: When I was little, if I didn't say please and thank you, I didn't get what I wanted.\
While we're at the public aid office, a young guy walks in to receive his monthly aid. I'm not one to look down my nose at the less fortunate, but when this guy walked in the office with a knee length fur (real) coat, dressed in Girbuad from head to toe and both him and his baby have Nike shoes on (the baby's shoes must have cost $40+). Actually, the baby had a Nike outfit on. If you can drop that kind of cash on your wardrobe, do you really need public aid?
There were more, but I forgot them at the moment.
I have to commend the woman who was in line at the grocery store with gold, Nikes, a leather jacket that cost more than I had in my cheking account and her son, dressed the same way..Quote:

Two real fast peeves....
The Uhura.
Those ear pieces that people wear for their phones. I am just getting used to the gauging thing.....you know the buttons that men are putting in their ears..(that really gives me the creeps).. you start to talk to them and they stop paying attention to you so they can answer a call... :mad:
There is a gal that comes into the office with one of those speaker things in her ear...I want to ask her to "open me up a hailing frequency" :eek: :D :confused:
--------------
The moron in the park.
I saw this huge Siamese cat in the parking lot of the L.A. Zoo that I pass on the way to work....there are coyotes in the area, that I have seen in the last few weeks. The cat was sitting next to the curb, he had on a harness and a collar.
I drove a ways and had to turn around..
The cat was next to a lone car in the parking lot when I approached it..
It ran under the car, and I tried to coax him out..a few seconds later I heard,
NO NO NO, NO NO NO, he is OK!!
The voice was coming from a woman who was about 40 feet away talking to a park employee.
HOKAY!...As I drove past her I wanted to scream at her (yes I do have a foul mouth and it probably would not have been pretty) DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE COYOTES OUT HERE? she used a cane and I cringed at the picture of her chasing her cat, in the coyote's mouth yelling, NO NO NO, NO NO NO...
UGH, then she would sue the city for her stupidity and win a ton of money....
I was ticked off......But I did pray for the cat...
And I saw the same woman driving into the same parking lot this morning.....closer to the area of scrub around the parking lot...the area where the coyotes prowl! :mad:
Okay. This is "THE" peeve of all peeves.....
The morons (is that too strong?) that call in to talk radio shows that HAVEN'T GOT A SINGLE ORGANIZED THOUGHT IN THEIR HEAD! Hello? The focus here is on TALK. If you can't, don't call. You totally disrupt my listening pleasure.
Hair (hooman or otherwise) in the bathroom tub or sink.
I don't know what it is about it. Leave it anywhere else and I don't care but I get anal (pardon the pub) about hair in the tub and sink. If I stay at someone's home, I always double-check to make sure I'm not leaving any leftovers. :rolleyes: :o And I always wipe off the sink spout after brushing my teeth to get those little spots off. eeewwwww
Richard, some cat owners just don't get it.
Retailers
Why is it that the moment I hit the pay button, the money is gone from my account, but when I want a refund, it takes 14+ business days? :mad:
(I think someone posted this already, if so, I apologize)

----------------------
The day after the Half a Million Mexican Man March I drove thru the city hall area of Los Angeles- I was buoyed by the news that there were no arrests and no real problems the day before.
My "buoy" sank when I hit the streets around City Hall.
Trash?
All over the fricking streets. When there was no more space in the cans signs, sticks and all kind of other crap littered the streets.
My father came to the United States and instilled pride about my country and the area that I live in.
You'd think that people would care more about the country that gave them an opportunity.
------------------------------
Another thing?
IT GET'S ME P.Oed that people who have no regard for the laws of the US demand that the law give them citizenship....
Nope, no way, no how. :mad:
Especially when they get put ahead of the people doing it the "right" way.
Oh, me too! I hate all those "internet slang" words.....like l8er (later) and kewl (cool)........and all the others I can't think of right now..... ;)Quote:

Oh dear, the kids are quarreling again! :D
AM NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :p
My hubby and I are at odds on this one. He thinks this new law they're trying to pass is terrible! Probably because half of his family would then become criminals. My view? You SHOULD be considered a criminal if you enter ANY country illegally. As Richard said, why should you be granted the same rights and liberties as me when you broke the law to get here?
Good idea!Quote:

I always wanted to be a Starship Trooper...where do I sign up?
Being a space cadet is so pedestrian. ;)
-------------------------------
Deb,
THAT is the biggest thing that irritates me....
THEY BROKE THE FRIGGIN' RULES.......... :mad:
------------------------------------
One of my biggest peeves of the day?
My mayor....
I have seen this guy on TV 5 times at different events in the last few weeks.
He started the LA marathon, He was at a Hollywood walk of fame dedication,
On the Ask the Mayor segment on the local TV station, in New York for some school thing and at City Hall pandering to the protestors...
If there is a camera around, he'll be there. :mad:
Pet peeve of the day.
Traffic cops. You are there to direct traffic, correct? So why is it that you are doing exactly what the light is telling you to do? Do you really need to stand there and waste our taxpayer's money? I know how to go when the light is green. I don't need you to tell me to go on top of that.
If a cop is there to direct traffic, shouldn't they go out on a limb and go against the light? :eek:
Stupid people with stupid questions.......
Today when ordering lunch I told my co-worker who was on the phone with another co-worker what I wanted.....a vegetarian cheese sandwich. He proceeds to ask if I want meat on that.....um, that would be a negative, hence forth the vegetarian part. :rolleyes:
Ahh, such is life. Might reconsider my very old plan of living in an igloo far, far away. ;)
I'm sorry but I had to LOL at that one!Quote:

this is an XRAY DEPARTMENT, NOT A BABYSITTING SERVICE! you cannot bring an infant, toddler or small child into the xray room while you have films done. it can be unsafe for a child to be exposed to radiation, if it's not medically indicated. i considered duct taping one very bumptious child to a chair today, as grandma was having her mammogram. look i know it can be hard to get sitters sometimes, but for petes' sakes, xrays can be dangerous, so don't expect your kids to be babysat by the staff, bring your friend to watch little fred or irma. thank you...whew i feel better
**edited** let me say, this is a scheduled test, not a walk in , i got hurt, i need to see that my arm isn't broken type thing. this woman had an planned for, timed study that was to last an hour. sigh
People who drive on the freeway (or anywhere for that matter) in the insane rain we've been having with their wipers on, but not their headlights. Hello? It's the LAW here in California - wipers on = headlights on. Otherwise, we can't see you. It was SCARY driving to work this morning in a DELUGE. At least people weren't driving insanely or too fast - you just couldn't! There was way too much water coming down and on the roads and NO CHP in sight, anywhere.
Cyclists who refuse to obey the rules of the road.
- a stop sign means stop.
- cycle along with the flow of traffic and to your extreme right....not in smack dab in the middle of the lane.
- wear your helmet.
- use hand signals.
- more importantly, wear clothes. LOL
This really happened one stinking hot summer evening. I was driving home and the traffic was crawling. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Then I came upon it....a topless female cyclist. All the lookie-loos were slowing down to get a better look. :D :D
:eek: :eek: :rolleyes:Quote:

My peeve for the day is people who blow lights. An accident happend right behind me today just as I was leaving home. Some idiot thought he could make it through the yellow light a full minute after it turned red. The poor person coming the other way didn't have a chance and slammed right into him. I saw the poor innocent person in the back of the cop car so I believe she was ok - thanks to her air bag - but the idiot who blew the light was still in his car. I think he was trapped because the door - and front and side of the vehicle - was quite smashed. She was proabably going 50, he was probably going 30. Instead of being a minute late for work, he's lucky if he makes it in by next week! :rolleyes: This happens sooo often around here. I think people expect the rest of the world to watch out for them, but what they don't realize is that sometimes the rest of the world has their own problems to worry about and they may not notice that you're priveliged and allowed to go through red lights a full minute after they turn. :rolleyes:

Jonah and I have an emergency trip to Children's hospital (note- Children's Hospital, emphasis on the word -Children). We are stuck in an exam room that looks like a toddler's DREAM! Chock full of things to climb, drawers UNLOCKED, just begging to be opened and shut a million times, cords to plug and unplug, an exam table to climb on, a sink to get into, buttons to push, get my point? The lady says to me (not a nurse, or medical person, but, the person that is in charge of stocking the drawers) when I point out to her that someone left the drawers of medical supplies OPENED, "well, YOU are responsible for your child". Hello? Do you think I don't know that? BUT, I am in your facility, your CHILD friendly facility, waiting in an exam room for OVER ONE HOUR (with a toddler, that translates into about 4 hours and 13 minutes)
and when I point out your staff's forgetfullness in locking the drawers up, you get pissy with me? (Note to medical community, when a new mom has a bloodied faced child in the ER at 730 am, back off, she isn't in the mood).
So, after a few terse paragraphs with this woman, we waited about another two minutes, and I took Jones and walked down the hall. Someone said, "where are you going"? I said, "to the waiting room, I can't wait in that type of room with a toddler". She immediately said, "oh, no, you should wait over here..." and put us in a nice, child friendly exam room, with books, little toys, etc. We were in a dental exam room :eek: I coulda given that other lady a little bloody nose.....
So...while I do agree that taking kids to an adult appointment is usually a 'no no', I have to ask for some understanding with toddlers. Something I never really recognized pre-Jones. Life with a toddler can be a little bit challenging, and often, the parent is doing the best he/she can. Can't leave them at home, can't bring them with us.... :D
Jo is going to hate me because my peeve today happens to be child-related... :o
Sometimes working in an establishment with a playground REALLY stinks especially when you are trying to concentrate on your job and all you hear is little kids screaming their heads off!!
Okay lady.. I helped you bring your order to your table... you didn't even ask.
Seeing as you had a toddler on each hip, and one trailing along) after sitting them on my CLEAN COUNTERSPACE, WHICH I HAD TO THEN SANITIZE DURING A RUSH, the least you could do is keep your children from screaming their heads off, throwing food around my clean diningroom, and running around like maniacs. We have a playground, yes. But, our diningroom is NOT for playing. Oh, by the way... barbecue sauce does not double as finger paints on our windows.
Not cute.
Kfamr,
Just ask Marylin Jean and Axel how far that behavior gets them......
As a parent of children who have boundaries, it is incredibly annoying to try to control your own children when someone else's little hellions are running amok.
Thanks K.
When I was a kid, mom swatted me for hanging on the counter at a bank.
Why?
People were sitting their kids on the counters.....and this was in the days before plastic diapers.
LH,
The stages of learning discipline.
The swat after we left the establishment.
Then the 'Vulcan Skin Pinch' (the meaty inside part of the upper arm)
Should you flinch, back to the swat.
Then it was the "look"...
The look froze you in your place, while you contemplated the punishment.
Then one day, while getting the dressing down from both out parents, the little voice at the ent of the couch says.....
"Mom, can't you just hit us and get it over with?"
Not at all, not at all. Somedays, I would be the first one posting about Jonah's latest and greatest. There have been times, and there will be more, I am sure, where all I am doing is standing still- no forward progress.Quote:

I hate it when People Hate Things!!! :confused:
No Really... I hate it when two people post consecutive posts (sometimes as many as 5 each) discussing a private matter in a public thread. UNLESS of course, THEY ARE FIGHTING - in which case, I LOVE IT!!! :D

:) Now one of the things that peeves me is for someone to turn out in front of you in a vehicle real fast & then while on the road goes 40 in a 60 zone & there is no way you can pass.. :rolleyes:
ok I have many.
First is when people brag. It bugs me to no end! Not like 'i got a 99 in science class' brag after you told them you got a 96. but when someone says they are the BEST tennis player on the team, and that nobody can beat them. At school I am really competitive with my grades. During math class when we were grading our homework, I saw my friend Ashley correcting some and counting them right. She would always say that she got a 100 and I always got 94's or so. Kinda bugged me.
When someone has their child screaming in a restaurant, movie theater, etc. and not do anything about it. I understand that sometimes the kids get excited or grumpy and start screaming, but when the adults don't do anything is when it got annoying.
Also, when people let their children roam the restaurant, dodging people with trays and then not do anything. By child I mean around 3 or so. Once when we were at Luby's there was a couple who had 2 little boys, one about 5 the other 3. She let them run around the restaraunt and never told them anything.
