New peeve thread???

[gini]

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.

[RICHARD]

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!

[gini]

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"!!!!

[RICHARD]

Ben Franklin was an idiot.

He figured out electricity which has allowed us to....

Miss your page.
Get computer viruses.
Panic in blackouts.
Have to listen to alarm clocks.
and get shocked at every turn with static electricity!

[RICHARD]

LOLOL,
Imust have grown up peeved!!


This has happened twice in the last few days....


I am standing in like to get a bite to eat. The person ahead of me says..


"Let me get a....."

NO please, or Could I have a....


It's "Let me get a...."


No manners!

That irratates me too, I always say can I please have a... or something along those lines. People simply don't have manners anymore...

I think I would be tempted to say...........

What's the MAGIC word??????

Judging by what Attorney General Gonzalez told the senate the other day.....Washington and Lincoln used electronic eavesdropping during wartime....electricity must have been around before old Ben discovered it!

Normally I don't mention peeve, but.....my husband has the habit of responding ...."what do you mean _________." Example. When I was sitting up at 4:30 in the morning reading a book I answered his question as to why. He responded..."what do you mean you can't sleep?"

How do I answer that??????? How many different things can "not sleep" mean????

[Cataholic]

ES- Don does that? How funny. I would think it is his reflexive comment, used to buy a few moments, when necessary, and now a habit.

My peeve? I listen to AM radio pretty exclusively- except when I throw a musical nonsensical CD in for the wee one. So, I hear phone call after phone call on the early morning callins. My peeve? You call a talk radio show, proportedly to make a comment- and spend the next 60 seconds umming and ahhing, without a single, coherent, logically flowing sentence? Shoot, forget the sentence! I will go with even 4 words strung together that represent a point!

[RICHARD]

Jimmy Geton???

As we were growing up the "idiot line" was "let me get on a -------"
a variant of the "let me have a ------".

It sounded like people we asking for Jimmy Geton......and a star was born!

[Kfamr]

Richard, as someone on the other side of the counter, that's a pet peeve of mine too! No thank yous peeve me, too.

[Edwina's Secretary]

As long as I am being peeved (perhaps from not sleeping....whatever that means....) and we are talking retail....

"No problem" does NOT equal "thank you." I get very irritated when I gvie a service person my money....I say "thank you" to get the response..."no problem." D$%# straight it is not problem....it is your JOB! I want to say...."I'm sooooo glad it is not a problem for you to take my hard earned money!" Well...there are some other things I want to say....

[RICHARD]

Well...there are some other things I want to say....

No Problem.

That's why the thread is here!
