LOL, Julie!

I don't like the way Britney dresses AT ALL!

Oh, here is one! Tonight, in the parking lot of a store. A boy that was about 6-8 years old was ripping his mother a new arsehole. He was screaming at her at the top of his lungs. Calling her all kinds of stuff. I could hear him as loud as can be from all the way across the lot. Mom was just saying something to him in a quiet voice while he was going off! It seemed obvious to me that this kid must witness his father yelling at his mother that way. Oh, and BTW, I was behind in line with the family minutes before, the mom had told him that he couldn't have this stupid candy, so I believe that is what the argument was about.

I wanted to walk over there and knock the crap out of that kid for talking to his mother that way. And then, perhaps knock the crap out of the mother for allowing that.

Oh, I know it! I cannot stand that. I have to leave. My kid's head would be rolling across the parking lot, let me tell you!

My husband calls me "Man." This is especially embarrassing in public. I'm in Costco today, and he goes "Hey, man...check this out..." I hate it!!!

My son calls me "Dude" sometimes .. only because he and all his friends say is constantly. I just crack up. He get embarrassed. Too funny.

I don't know why this one bothers me, but guys who say "the wife". Why can't it be "my wife"?

Oh, the guy at our postoffice says that ALL the time ... "So, I was telling the wife last night ..." What? She has no name? It's like saying "the dog" or "the car". She's a possesion? Sheesh!

Also to go along with that is owners who will not admit their dog is overweight and don't think they need to do anything about their "chubby" dogs. Sorry people your dog isn't chubby it's obese!!!

Oh, I hate that too! And then they say, "I only feed him a cup of dog food a day!" Well, maybe .... plus all the leftover from dinner, plus 15 milk bones, plus .... LOL


And, a message board pet peeve of mine ... when people write thinly veiled insults towards other people in seemingly innocent posts or in their signatures. Puhleese.


Ok, I have to stop now! I could go on forever!

But I have a petpeeve on the opposite end of the overweight thing.
- I get annoyed when people assume that my dog is overweight b/c I overfeed her. She has a thyroid problem and my vet told me that I could have NOT fed her and she would have still not lost any weight. She has lost 4 pounds and has 10 more to go. Like my sister was telling her father in law "Yea Keegan's a chunky girl" I shot back " Hey she has a thyroid condition and IS losing weight." I camethisclose tosaying So what's your excuse?
but I didn't!!

- people that assume I am overweight b/c I do nothing but sit around and eat doritoes and bon bons all day. I work my a$$ off at work even tho you can't tell it.

- oh yea and I don't like the way that Brittany dresses either but the person that gets me the most is Paris Hilton and that Nicole Ritchie. I watched maybe 20 minutes of their show and I wanted to smear their faces in the cow poop.

I can understand why you would get angry about that.

I didn't mean people like you who know their dog is overweight and have brought it to the vet to get it checked out, and have it on medication and are actively working towards getting their dog to a healthy weight. Good for you and Keegan, btw.

I was referring in my post to people who bring their dogs into work that are hugely obese. We always gently bring it up to owners and ask if they have considered that the dog may have a thyroid problem. They respond that the dog is healthy and it just likes to eat, or it is just chubby.
Or they say yeah it has a thyroid problem, but they use it as an excuse and aren't doing anything about it.

[wolf_Q]

Ooooh I have many, but here's mine for today:

I'm in this art class for school. We've done 3 projects so far, black and white drawings of different kinds. The subject criteria is just "something alive." My first drawing was of a woman's face. The last two have been of Nebo. They were not just boring pics (at least I thought so) I tried to make them interesting. I worked on the composition and made sure I had an interesting background and arrangement.

Everyone else has done a human face for every drawing. And most of them didn't have much of a background or composition, just a head on a piece of paper. Yet *I* get critisized for mine just because it is of a dog. Umm..SO?? Can't artwork of an animal be just as good as that of a human?

I guess I'll have to draw humans for the rest of the time, just so I don't get any more snide comments.

And that's what I meant, too ... not people who recognise the problem and are actively trying to fix it, but people who either don't care or are in denial that it is a problem to begin with.

5. People that are very overweight who dress like Brittany Spears. Honestly, do these people think that is attractive? Do they not have mirrors at home? I saw a women in KFC the other day, she had to be at least 30 years old and at LEAST 300 pounds, I'm not kidding. And what was she wearing ... low rise, skin tight pants with her underwear showing, and a tiny, tight shirt ... with a giant, HUGE roll of stomach and hip fat squished in between. Oh, my.

OMG!!!! You don't know HOW HARD I was laughing as I read that! HILARIOUS! And the funny thing is I saw one of those women today at the doctor's office! I was sitting in the waiting room, just waiting for my turn, and this ENORMOUS lady walks is. She was HUGE! I mean, she had to be at least 350 pounds or more. Her stomach looked like a beachball, and her butt was shaking as she walked. Anyway, comments about her size aside..........I don't like making fun of people because of their weight, but its what she was wearing that got to me! A mini skirt, with her HUGE legs showing (and shaking LOL), and a tiny tank top...............with her underwear showing above her skirt. And mind you, it was COLD today! Some people..... It was such a relief when the doctor called me because I got to leave the waiting room and didn't have to see her underwear sticking out anymore.

Thank you!!!!
Just wanted to say also that I get that "IN real LIFE".
Thanks for understanding and I wanted to make sure I wasn't insulting anyone!

Children of the human kind.....ack i just dont like them.There was a small child at the Pet Expo today it had food all over its face and it kept staring at me. i had to move

Homophobes, racists, etc.

Animal abusers.

People who dont find it nessecery to spay/ neuter their pets.

People at Flyball comps who's dogs are agressive and they yell at you to move out of the way because they are coming through , hey your dog has the problem so control it URGH

When people ask if they can breed there Staffy/Bull terrier with my Rotty/Heeler X becasue they would be "awesome". 1) She is spayed, 2) NO 3) dont be so bloody stupid

People who dont ask before feeding treats to MY dogs and the dogs of others. A woman at dog club was trying to feed a piece of cheese to one of the dogs without asking his owner it turned out the dog cannot handle dairy food of any kind and he was sick for days, poor boy

Ok i will stop now, but i shall be back.

[bluekat]

Bluecat-

Don't you just want to tuck them in for her? lol. Kinda like when someone's tag is sticking out.

LOL, I know, she doesn't even care sometimes

LMAO! I've seen lots of those too, and its just disgusting. Not at all "attractive" lol

one more I have to add- when parents don't control their kids behaviors in public. One time I was at a restaurant and the table behind us had about 4 little kids who had all these toys and they were playing and chasing each other the entire time. They kept on knocking down my jacket, the first time they didn't even pick it up. Then the second time they knocked it down and fell right on top. I looked at him and so he just picked it up and handed it to me. The parents didn't even say sorry or say anything! The kids were so annoying.

POP UPS!AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!Microsoft keeps sending me stupid pop ups that crap up my computer because apparently they dont think a certain part of the human anatomy that i do not have because I am a girl is not big enough! I really dont think they should send those kinds of ads to random people.

[binka_nugget]

• People giving commands to my dogs without even realizing what the commands really mean. This one girl comes over from time to time and tells Kai to down when he jumps up on her. I can't stand it! Down for him is lay down..not stop jumping. I've told her before and it still happens.
• People yelling "Fido come! Come! Come here fido! Come!" to their dog over and over again when it's obvious that the dog won't.
• People criticizing me for overfeeding Kai, not taking him out enough or calling him fat. I can't stand it. I'm not blind, I know it and we're working on it.
• Girls at the mall (and school) who link their arms together and take up the whole hallway.
• People who greet me by saying "IT'S A LASSIE!" when they see my dogs.
• The girl I mentioned in the first pet peeve also calls me when she has nothing to talk about. She calls me and asks me what I'm doing. I'm usually very busy and respond with a "I'm training the dogs" or "I'm cooking dinner" and she'll still keep me on the phone for HOURS!
• I don't have the greatest hearing so when my brother says something and I miss it, I ask him to repeat it. He always says "Nevermind". ARG!

I can't believe I forgot that one!
ARGH, you don't know HOW many times Molly gets called Lassie every flippin' day. Excuse me, but she has a name! Lassie was played by male dogs anyway... Get it right people!
