    I've never noticed that!

    When idiotic people use the term "Lesbian" or "Gay" as if it's supposed to be an insult. Yeah, totally stooping to the level of scum.
    Oh man, I hate that too.

    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 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 all this while a mother and her young children were waiting for a trolley

    just a few but i have many more...

    functional illiteracy/scientific illiteracy

    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?!

    lololol,

    That is precious..

    I have a friend who's step daughter put 10 k down for a Toyota truck.

    He is ticked because he is paying her way thru school.

    (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!!

    It's better if I just use the example that came to mind:

    My mom and I were standing at the counter a couple of feet away from a lady who was at the counter as well. She had a standard poodle (although, not full grown, I don't think) on a leash. (S)He was a very friendly pooch. It wagged and ran over to us and was jumping on me and when I started to pat it on the head the lady gave me a pissy look and yanked the dog away as if I offended her or something. She was watching everything that went on, as well. She wouldn't let the poor puppy near us, after that.

    That highly aggravates me as well. Firstly, like they even *know* the dog at all. Secondly, does it look like it's trying to eat you? Thirdly, nice way to perpetuate a stupid stereotype.

    That's happened with my moms GS/Rottie mix and her RB Treasure who also happened to be very well behaved.

    I think there was supposed to be a comma between running and using scissors.

    Yea it was probably a typo, because after that it listed a paper punch, crayons and markers.

    Yeah. It could've caused a big argument of some sort.
