Teehee I just laugh at those commercials. But I haven't watched late night TV in a long time. In fact I haven't watched any TV in a long time

To go along with your one about your dogs. I hate when people give my dogs a command and expect them to obey it. Yeah they listen great to me, I trained them. Why should they listen to you? *S*

Flakey friends...

If I am of any value, they can take two seconds to call and say they aren't going to show up/are going to be late.

Yay for our Aussie accents thanks



more pet peeves

Homophobes *URGhhhhhhh*

Breedism of our canine friends (A lady at dog club the other night freaked out because a "pit bull" was running loose, the owner of the dog was racing around frantic as to wear her realy sweet natured Staffy X was, as he had slipped through the car door when putting the dogs back in the car) (and my Aunty saying the other night that Chows are vicious)

People who think it is a sin to show a little bit of their skin, be daring people (No offence anyone here)

did i mention children

when my dogs dont obey other peoples commands and the people say "oh i does not matter, dont worry about it" it DOES matter now make thge dog do as it was told (i love my mutts dearly but the must obey all commands given it could save their lives oneday)

thats all for the moment

Confessions 10/28.
Ladies and Gents, I'm going straight down the tubes today and it's not even 9 am!

I drove my big, gas guzzling SUV to work today. I made a phone call without a handsfree device, and I put on lipstick and lipliner at the 2nd and thirds lights. Oh, and I was late to work because I was chatting it up with the Starbucks boy whose Mrs. Robinson I'd like to be- all the while holding up the drive through line.


EEEEEK!!!

edit: and see how screwed up I am today. I posted this in the wrong stinking thread!

Good Gosh! With the exception of posting this in the wrong thread, you have just confessed my sins!

But, in the car, the headset is on and I'm takin' care of biddness! Oh, and I'm forever making calls home in the grocery because I SUCK at taking pre-shopping inventory. So it's Ring Ring "do we have cheddar cheese." Ring Ring: "do we need toothpaste."
Seriously, I have ADD. But honestly, I never dreamed I was making anyone angry in the grocery when I was talking quietly on my phone. I don't understand- why does it bother others?

I bill at $150/hour. I DO NOT waste my work time yakking on the phone with my family, since none of them will pay my time. SO, while in the CAR, while WALKING, while WAITING, even IN COURT (if the Judge ain't yakkin), I am on my cell phone. Why does it bother ANYONE anymore than two people talking...'cept you can't hear their end of the conversation? WHY, people, WHY?

And the grocery? Except for the problem of pushing a cart, chugging my beverage of choice, and holding on to my 2 inch cell phone, I do just fine in there. At least I am not driving one of those toy car carts with 8 kids hangin' off the side screamin' "I want, gimme, blah"!

Lol
I hate those carts--the people can never maneuver them either!!
I am on my phone a lot too, but it has nothing to do with my job, I just like to talk!!!!

Oh, and at our Wegmann's there is special parking for people with kids--special spots marked that you are only supposed to park in if you have kids with you
I park there all the time.

Of course - your professional voice is different. It's necessary - you're not doing it to get attention or be cute.

But it's that stupid whiny little girl "I'm so innocent" voice that drives me nuts!

I guess it is good that I don't know most of you in person...cause I do have another 'little girl' voice, that I slip into with both sexes. For ME, it is a comfort level thing, the 'softer side' of me..that means my guard is down....I am not sure it is a 'innocent' voice, fact is, I have been told it is NOT innocent sounding at all.

Than, I also have a less professional vocabulary....I slip into some ghetto type vocabulary....'that's ate up', for example.

You all would hate me in real life! Good thing we have a screen, a web, and some serious distance between us, eh?

WTH? I would park my mini car in there EVERY day! That is soo funny. I think people with kids need to park extra far away, and exercise those little gremlins, to call them down!

People talking on cell phones don't bother me at all, except when they are driving.

I get peeved when I'm in a store at the counter waiting for service and the clerk behind the counter is talking to her BF making plans for that evening. Hello?? There is a time and place for that.

And ladies and gents who take a bath in their perfume/aftershave and get into the elevator. They leave a trail behind them a mile long.

You sound like my brother Catapault! He's ALWAYS on his cell.......in the car, while walking, at the store, in the cashier line, EVERYWHERE! I'm not much of a phone person though. I call my friends occasionally to see how they're doing, but its just for a short talk.....and I do it from home. It doesn't bother me when people chat on their cells. It has become the norm now. Everyone does it! The only thing I hate is when I go out in the car with my brother, I can never talk to him because he's always talking to his friends on the phone. *sigh* LOL

As for parking SUV's in compact spots.............there are hardly any spots big enough for our poor massive SUV's! We always go driving around parking lots to find a big enough spot........not because we find it not right to park in a compact, but for the protection of our SUV! Tight spots can't be too safe for a big car like that!

And about voices Catapault.........my voice changes when I'm around unfamiliar people. It kind of gets soft/quiet/shy.........and NOT on purpose. I just can't talk normally and boldly with new people like I do with people close to me.

Aah, thought of another one..."Expectant mother parking"

I always tell brian to just take the spots...who'se to know I'm not an "expectant mother"? (Except anyone who knows me ^.^)

[tikeyas_mom]

I hate it when there is a dog hair in my eye or in the back of my throat and I cant get it out!! ugh

I cant stand having my hands dirty, I have to wash them every 5 min.

I cant stand when girls wear clothing that is too small for them, let alone to small for a 2 year old ..

I cant stand when people dont flush the toilet

I hate it when people dont wash their hands after going to the washroom when a sink is available..

I really cant stand it when I step in gum

I saw a comedian once that mentioned expectant mother stalls. She said who's going to police them? Are they going to chase after you saying "excuse me miss.....if you would just pee on this indicator stick....."

LOL

Welcome to my life. LOL
I work at a grooming shop and that's an every day part of work.
In fact I often pull dog hair out of my eyes while I'm sitting in front of the computer, hours after getting home from work.....
