New Thread (duh)-Things that piss you off
 

People on grocery lines with more items than the sign says is allowed.

Old people driving 10 below the posted speed limit ... in a 35mph zone.

so young people going 25 in a 35 is OK by you? :p

People who follow 1 car length behind me at 75mph on the interstate...not a freeway, interstate...

people that cruise in the passing lane...passing NOFREAKINBODY

How many 25-year-old's do you know that drive 10 below in a 35? :)

When someone asks you a question and when you give them your answer they ask..."are you sure?":mad:

Rush hour traffic.

my weight, age, and hairline....in no particular order

bait and switch

throw teeth in there for me and 'ditto!'

Anyone at a check-out counter that writes a check...

when I am on a job and the woman of the house biatches about how "unhandy" her husband is...how he mucked this up and how he did this etc.......:dangit:

job hunting

dodging people that back out onto a 45 mph road without looking. Actually did some damage to my truck because of it...stupid jackazzes.

disrespect

Screw you, old man!

:rofl:

When someone calls you on your office phone and asks where you are.

Extreme heat and humidity.

thinking I've got a project done only to look at it again and think.....nope

Snow

How dare you ...

I would give a pinky toe for some snow here in KC. This is [un]officially the seventh day of 100 degree heat.

Thwarted ambition...

Being the last poster in a thread.

NOT being the last poster in a thread

First day of work after a great, week long vacation.

not being able to hook a bowling ball on oiled synthetic lanes...bleah

OT: Incidently, my father use to always complain about the new synthetic lanes when they were first installed in the lanes he bowls at ... but has bowled 2, 300 games since then (last 5 years) and never had a 300 prior to them...(40+ years of bowling)...I don't hear him complaining about them as much...

Back on topic:

Road destruction close to your house...and everywhere. Seems like every road within 10 blocks of my house is ripped up.

People slowing down to look at flashing lights on the shoulder during rush hour and backing up traffic for three miles.

Nick

People who are more concerned about the phone conversation/texting they are doing rather than driving.

I hate when driving down a rural 4-lane road when someone will come up behind you, tailgate you almost up to your bumper for a mile or so and than cut you off after they pass you even though theres no other traffic around.

when athletes point to the names on their backs after scoring...SLAP!
Point to the name on the FRONT you jackasses

when officials screw up calls........AND coaches let 'em 'get away with it' by not challenging...

Vikings get a break when a punt hits a Falcon and the Vikings pick up the ball and head for the endzone........only, oops, the officials blew the whistle so the Vikings get the ball, but can't advance it.

Then Percy Harvin returns a kick 104 yards to the 4 yard line...then stretches into the endzone with 2nd effort...only oops again, they say he's short..........no challenge

5+ emails a day telling me my dik isn't long enough :(

Anyone else getting the phone call saying something like 'The IRS has requested that we work with you to resolve your outstanding federal tax debt. Working with us may prevent further action by the government'

...giving you the impression you HAVE an outstanding federal tax debt you may not even be aware of

...then going on to say 'if you HAVE an outstanding federal tax debt, press 1 now'

pricks

When governors decide to fly flags at half mast for drug addicts and no fanfare for real heros

Going to a convenience store to purchase a soda only to end up behind an elderly man who has purchased 50+ hand selected lottery tickets...and, after waiting 10 minutes to get all those scanned in, stand and shoot the breeze a bit before paying...

I only dream of having so much money and time where doing something like the above sounds like a good idea...

getting calls from professional fund-raisers and when I ask them how much of my contribution goes to administrative costs...and how much to the cause. They reply....10% goes to the cause....or no less than 15%............and they think that is great.

I'm surprised they'd even know the percentage and tell you.

At this point I could narrow what's p'in' me off down to 2 words

Job hunting

the latest, tho, is this- recently I had an interview for a job I was well overqualified for but could've dealt with...a plus being it's here in town as opposed to my current 20 mile each way commute to my 'temp' job.

As the interview ended the gal said 'I narrowed it down to 3 applicants. You're my first interview, one other I won't interview, the other I may not.' ...now that could be taken more than one way, but the obvious 'do the math' is...I've got a great shot at an offer.

So I tell my boss this, thinking maybe it'll finally make him SOGOP. For the umpteenth time he says 'I'll talk it over with my brother' (the owner).

The interview was on May 24th.....I've had no contact whatsoever from the gal who interviewed me and no conversation whatsoever with my boss about a permanent offer. So I begin my TENTH MONTH of work (1099 employee with no benefits) for a company that has been talking about wanting to make me a permanent offer since the 2nd month.
