Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Some people are just not as in tune as others. She probably has no clue she should keep the volume down.

So, I looked up this thread to vent about my office mate, again it would seem. I swear, I do like her. I like working with her. But there are things that just really bug me.

Today's is: we have these mandatory training modules to do. I did mine yesterday. Since I share an office with someone else, and I know she was working, I turned the audio off and just read the text. She's got the volume on and up. I just think it's rather rude when other people are working on something else. Either read the text or get headphones.

That would drive me nutty. Your IT department needs to provide headphones.

One of my dogs just farted.

They don't usually smell THAT bad.

Dear co-worker:

I heard what you said. I heard it the first time. I heard it the second time. AND I heard it the third time you said it.

That is WHY I acknowledged your statement all 3 times.

Now, shut up. Also, go away.

I realize the musical "Hamilton" is da bomb dot com.

But I am trying to get some work done. Stop singing the songs. Just stop.

I'm sorry, what YEAR is this?

A candidate for Congress is under fire for a campaign sign highlighting his hope of making “America White Again.”

The sign, which appeared over Highway 411 near Benton, Tenn., was placed there by independent candidate, Rick Tyler, who is currently running for Tennessee's 3rd congressional district seat, WRCB-TV reported.

As if we haven't wracked up enough extra expense this summer.

I really think we're going to have to put in a couple of security cameras, for our front yard/driveway.

Last night, someone (probably kids) siphoned all of the gas, out of Wayne's car.

And half of the gas out of Belle. furious

We live in a nice neighborhood.

I can't freakin' believe this. cry

File a police report so you have a paper trail.

I had some of my gas siphoned out at the complex my ex and I lived at. Nice complex so I was surprised. Filed a police report on it and got a locking gas cap at the recommendation of the officer.

flan, I'm shocked!

We have a street light, at the end of our driveway.

Our yard/driveway is well lit.

It amazes me, that someone would be so bold, to mess with our cars....in bright light.

And, gas is cheap. Under $2 a gallon.

And they stole our gas? Really?

I don't get it. At all. cry

Yes, I'm going to let our neighborhood officer know.

I'm going to ask some of the neighbors, if they lost any gas.

A lot of us, leave a car or two, sitting out.

I doubt we were the only ones who got hit.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

That svcks FWM. Years ago when diesel prices spiked it was a big deal around here for people to break into the lots where commercial vehicles were parked & steal their fuel.

Shame on Jupi for not barking! She needs to earn her kibble!

Jupiter never heard it, Lexxy.

Her bedroom is at the back of the house.

Bulldog/mix are terrible watch dogs.

They snooze out. They love people.

And, they only bark when they are out on a walk, and a big truck, or little yappy dog, goes by.

Jupie, can't help us, with this problem. cry

That really stinks FWM. Thieves are the worst. I am contemplating getting a security camera too. DH will say we don't need it, but I like to be prepared.

One of my cats is at the bottom of the back steps eating something. With a tail. Mouse or rat. I can't tell. Im not getting that close. I wish he would go somewhere else with it.

I'm not going to look. cry

The old remedy was to put on a collar with a bell.

DD and I have been working in the yard. Went to get my electric hedge trimmer out to do the front bushes. It's gone. Of all the power tools in my shed they take the $30 trimmers. Both chain saws still there. Both lawn mowers, check. Leaf blower, yep. I am so pissed! Freaking crack heads stay away from my stuff!

Is your shed locked? They'll be back for the rest. I would even booby trap the shed so they get hurt if they try it again.

No, no, no. That's illegal. You can shoot them, but you can't set a booby trap.

The shed wasn't locked (my bad) , but the gate was. Years ago someone stole the spark plug off my lawn mower. Seriously, that was it.

Yes you can, you just have mouse traps lying all over,that is normal for a shed. Oh and you don't tell anyone you are placing the traps.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Actually, mouse traps would be justifiable since neighbors behind me have them.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I'm sorry to hear that someone stole your hedge trimmers, SB.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Ah well, mouse traps aren't that big a deal, and are not really going to "hurt" someone. From IKWTDS' comment, I thought she was talking anvil over the door or something.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Actually, a bucket of red dye over the door might be a good idea - makes it look like blood.

My BIL's family are wonderful people, but they are horrible planners. My nephew is here for the week. Nothing was said about them having any plans for him. We knew from experience, they will want him, but they never give us any advanced warning. Recent example: we planned dinner for tonight. But now he's staying at other Grandma's because he's going somewhere tomorrow with her. Seriously, he's leaving for her house in half an hour, and we found out about this like an hour ago.

I don't hold it against them they want him to spend time with him. But would it kill they to actually think more than 12 hours ahead??

Oh honey, plans change so fast around here, it's strange when they dont.

It can be annoying though, I understand.
