New peeve thread???

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.

Especially when they get put ahead of the people doing it the "right" way.

Richard, I thought of you when I read this. I aplogize if you've already received this:

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo fromPres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your VP. Thank you so much for your kind help.

This one has been brought up again, and again, and again...

Recently been put into my head.. I DESPISE LIARS!!!

[RICHARD]

Deb,


I think I am going to run with some scissors now...

[Lobodeb]

How about people who go out of their way to reach out to you, offer to do something for you, then disappear when you take them up on it?

I didn't ask you for anything, you offered, why do I feel like I'm hunting you down???

[Lady's Human]

People in training courses who think they know more about the subject matter than the instructors and insist on sharpshooting the lecture. (But then eat up training time because they can't do the lab tasks without 2 instructors helping them)

[RICHARD]

The idiots who need to label a shelf in a cabinet.

The go to the computer
spend 15 minutes 'desiging' a label
print it out in color
print it to paper
cut it out
and toss the other 10x8 piece of paper in the trash.


What ever happened to a magic marker and a scrap piece of paper?

Something that came up today...

People who renegotiate agreements after the deal is done. Make a long story short, I bought some computer components from someone in some need of money. I paid him the agreed ammount. For about three months now, he calls me right around the first of the month saying I owe more money and that if I don't pay him what I owe (the ammount changes each time he calls) I'll "be sorry" He's threataned to call the cops "to get his stolen property back" Nothing can come of it, it was component parts half of which I had to trash due to failure, and what I am using now he has no proof that he purchaced them in the first place. He's quibling over about $35 (the average of the ammounts he keeps saying I owe). No small claims court would even bother. As is, he delivered the parts to me, and I have witnesess who saw him deliver the parts and payment being made. He has no witnesess and nothing on paper. I don't either, but the computer parts have been here (the ones that work) for about 5 months now. He is a known gang member (facts that I got after I bought the parts...I'm kind of questioning where they came from. Luckily I didn't buy the hard drives from him) and has been in and out of jail (juvinile offenses, nothing adult but he just turned 19) and has been connected with a recient drug case. The guy has proven himself very untrustworthy since I got the parts. Sigh...and he presented such a different front than a teenaged gang banger.
Fool me once I guess they say...
Sorry to rant
