Lip smackers. Chew with your damn mouth closed. I want to smack you.

Whiners!!! If you have a legitimate reason I'm ok with that but if you're whining about something stupid or just whining to hear yourself whine I want to pop you upside your head...

There are so many but lately I would say people that ask if they can come over all of the time. If we wanted company we'd have asked YOU.
Wait to be invited!

TrudyML · Guru

Ugh! Mary! NO!

Mary Zombie · Guru

It's not as bad as before when I was single Trudy but we have some good friends and neighbors that love hanging out at our place. DH knows to check with me first now.

TrudyML · Guru

That is good. I'd get annoyed!

Ohfour · Hooker

I'm the exact opposite. I LOVE drop ins! Just bring your own booze!!!! LOL!

chef · Guru

It's petty but I can't stand people who can't follow the simplest rules - i.e. wrong way drivers, entering through the exit and vice versa, putting one's cart in the corral, stuff like that. I just cannot comprehend what is so difficult about these things. Especially people who leave their carts in the handicap spots or on the crosshatch between handicap spots. I assume it doesn't occur to them that a handicapped person often does not have the ability to just hop out and move the cart. The crosshatch is for wheelchairs. A person in a wheelchair needs that space to maneuver.

Mary Zombie · Guru

I don't mind drop ins sometimes but hanging out 3 weekends in a row was a bit much. I was sick two of the weekends.
One of the guys has helped FH a lot with moving the office so it's cool if he andhis GF want to hang with DH but don't get butthurt if I'm in the bedroom coughing and napping and no I don't need anyone sitting with me lol

All of the above, except the shopping cart one. I'm a cart-leaver if the weather is bad, but not usually in the handicap spots, just other parking spots. I used to hear grocery clerks say they like going to pick up the carts because it gets them outside in the fresh air.

chef · Guru

I don't mind drop ins but there's two caveats to that. If I'm home, I'm in my house clothes aka clothes that still cover what needs covered but aren't fit for public. I don't wear my 'public' clothes at home. The other caveat is that if I'm busy or about to head out, you will be told as much. You can hang out while I get stuff done, go with me on errands, or go on your merry way. What you can't do is whine about my unavailability. I don't entertain whining. I'm rarely busy with something that can't wait so there's a good chance I'll just put off whatever it is and hang out with you.

Mary Zombie · Guru

I'm an occasional cart leaver too FNW. Ssshhhh

But why in the spots? Or do you not mind hopping out and clearing the parking spot so you can park?

I would be out the door like a shot when I worked at Petsmart and it was cart collecting time at the end of the night. Not because I liked collecting carts, per se. Because the head cashier was a jerk who thought she owned the place and closing with her was supremely annoying. Manager would ask for someone to go collect carts and I'd say 'me!' as I was running out the door. Most anything that took me away from jerk cashier was a welcome thing.

chef · Guru

I don't have the ability to just leave the cart. It hurts me inside when there is no cart corral available and yes I will walk the cart back to the store unless there's a non-parking, non-crosshatch area that won't obstruct traffic in any way. Only then will I leave the cart and I ensure it can't just roll away. My grandma accuses me of thinking of other people too much. I wear that badge proudly.

There is no cart coral. They should get one. And when I go to the store, I'm probably the only one there so there is a whole lot full of parking spots.

Tinydancer · Guru

People who cry about being broke then leave for some fancy vacation. Yeah I feel bad for you....not

FNW · Guru

I hate that, too. Or whine about money they go out to eat all the time.

Where else is it going to go? I normally put mine back, too, but if the weather is bad I'm not walking it back if it's not close, or Jojo is with me, but not DD13, I'm not leaving her alone in the car to take back a cart.

Stores don't make cart corrals convenient enough. I actually try to park close to one, but sometimes they have one at the front of the lot and the back, and none in between. It's annoying.

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

Even our Publix, which is a great store for customer service, did very limited cart corrals when they did the new store - they built them into the little islands halfway down the lot, but they have NONE near the front or back, just those right in the middle.

I loaned my son quite a bit of money a few months back. It wasn't really a loan, but he did not know that. After paying me back a hundred at a time, about a few months into it, I was going to give him the money back and "cancel" the loan. Little schitt has not even tried to pay one penny.

He posted on Facebook a rough draft of a tattoo that he is getting. I was livid. I posted back that maybe he should be paying off his debts before getting a tat. He posted back that he didn't have any debt. I lit into him. ON FACEBOOK. For all to see. On purpose. I hope I embarrassed the crap out of him...

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Carts don't really bother me.

People driving like it's Sunday with no where to go and all day to get there in the fast lane makes me want to go Death Race on them.

I don't know why it is so impossible to just move over.

You can get back in the passing lane as soon as I pass you.

And why do you need to ride your breaks?

And will your vehicle explode if you turn off that turning signal?

Oh dear Chuck, people, turn your flippin lights on when it's foggy.

Yeah, he said he would start paying me...he hasn't. And then he deleted all of my posts...

FNW · Guru

Don't blame you for being angry, ohfour. That's another thing that annoys me. People who pretend to be poor but are all tatted and pierced up.

I figure if a store does not have a corral, that's an invitation to leave the cart by your car.

Mary Zombie · Guru

I have learned a lesson. Not more loaning money. Especially when they are wasting the opportunity the money has allowed them and aren't taking care of business. Ugh.
That's alright DH says I was trying to pay it forward and it happens. She's going to have to sign a new payment schedule because I'm not forgetting about it!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

We should all get tats.

So we can identify each other in public.

A secret society.

Mary Zombie · Guru

Like a secret handshake but more cool lol

Ohfour · Hooker

We should all get black birth control glasses! Like my avatar!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Ok. The glasses, but they need a teeny tiny flamingo on the frame.

Ohfour · Hooker

We could all personalize them as we feel needed!

Ohfour · Hooker

Ok...I'm not kidding. I've been racking my brains trying to figure out my next tat. This is the best idea I've had yet!!!!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That's how we could know who each other was!

If I saw glasses with LL's figurine, I'd know it was her.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Omg, that would be a hoot! I vote O4 gets the first one!

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Not getting a tat...I will do a temp one though. I think the ugly Troll LL makes me occasionally would be nice.

WYSIWYG · Guru

Litterbugs.

Especially the ones that can't seem to figure out what that big container that says "TRASH" on it is for, and just toss their crap on the ground right near it because it would take three extra steps to make it all the way to the trash receptacle.

That, and smokers that think the world is their ash tray. Rubbing out the cherry of a cigarette on the nice clean and painted side of a building, or flicking their butts wherever they happen to land. I have no issue with polite smokers, people that use ash trays and other receptacles. But the nasty ones that want to spread their mess and litter everywhere? Fah!

Divine Geek · Guru

When you run into someone and they say "I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were". Now, this may seem nice, but if you were thinking about me and wondering how I am, I must have missed your call/text/email/Facebook message. You have my contact information, you are allowed to use it.
