New peeve thread???

THIS REALLY IRRITATES ME.....

Yesterday some blasting caps were found in the sea near a bunch of upscale homes near Huntington Beach, California....

The people living in the area were not asked to evacuate but did comment that, "nothing like this has ever happened, in this area, before."

It's the same with murders, car accidents and other stuff like that..

Are most of the people on the planet this friggin ignorant?

I could see the reverse happening in Iraq...

Today, no one was killed in a car/suicide bombing. Interviewing the citizens of Baghdad said, "nothing like this has ever happened, in this area, before."

I just hate it when I'm browsing in a shop and a pushy salesperson says "Can I help you?" I say "no I'm just looking." Next isle and another salesperson. When I was shopping at Christmas I had 4 salespeople in the same store ask me that same question.....I then just walked out of the store, never to return again.

Oh yes, and one other thing. Pushy car salesmen who think I don't know what I'm talking about.

I am with you on this one Slick. I also hate it when the salespeople start showing you things that you have no interest in - and it just wastes your time as you try so hard to be polite - and say NO THANK YOU! At that point, I beat it out of the store.

Half a world away a political stories are being written (Iran, Hamas, Israel, Sharon having a stroke) and the top news is Oprah whining that she was duped into promoting a book that was a pack of lies.

Yep, the moron got duped and now she has to put the Oprah machine into reverse becase she is the cornerstone of truth, justice and the American way...and because she can make, or break, an author she has to make things right!!

So, instead of putting it behind her (far easier when she was a woman of size) she now has to clear her good name and spend an hour yelling at this guy on her show....and it all makes headline news?

She should take a look at her magazine first..

A little trivia?

Which celebrity has appeared more times on the cover of Oprah magazine?

Having never opened that package of tripe, I can only imagine what stories reside within...


Lose 800 tons on the Oprah fig diet?
Manage your life with Oprah's 10 second daily planner?
Release your inner talk show host with Oprah's tips?

100% pure, unadulterated truth!

Richard - you read "O".........who woulda thunk it!!

Of course, after the beating up this guy took on her show - now he will sell more books than ever imagined. He will retire somewhere quietly a very wealthy man.

[RICHARD]

Richard - you read "O".........who woulda thunk it!!

The Story of "O", yes!
Oprah, NO!!!!!

Here's a GREAT peeve...

Ken Starr, the prosecutor that went after Bill Clinton has asked Ahr-nold
to pardon a moron who is on death row......

Why?


Because he apologized for the murders.

"I am sorry...."

Those three little words that make everything all right.

So, if BC had apologized, Starr would have backed off?

[gini]

Richard, I just can't leave this alone..........

YOU - the champion of saying something outrageous followed immediately by "I'm sorry"!!!!
