P.S. People that talk about how fat/ poor/ lame they are drive me crazy. I mean what do you say to someone that goes on and on about how disgusting they look? You cant say.. OH no thats not true! Cuz they just go on and on and insist they are, etc.

You're lucky you have no idea what we're talking about. They're basically proteins in the fluid part of your eye that you can sometimes see. I don't see them all the time, but if I'm outside and looking at the blue sky then I notice them more. They're like clear little squiggles. And they're so annoying!

Yep! That totally gets awkward. I have one friend who is overweight, and she will sometimes say something about it. If I say she's not, we both know I'm lying, but it's not like I can agree with her! It makes me feel so bad!

Although, I totally lol'd when I saw that Family Guy episode about them. I totally chase them with my eyes and they always run away.

And, yes, that stupid squiggly machine stresses me out. I'm always like, "Wait. Was that one? Did I just miss one? Did I just click when one wasn't there? I want to do it over again! I don't want you to think there's something wrong with me just because I'm dumb!"

Oh, and on a random note: I totally hate having dirty hands or feet. I can't concentrate until they're clean.
And I can't have anything touch my neck. It freaks me out. Addie used to fall asleep with her head on my neck. It's so cute, but it bothers me so much I have to move her.

OMFG!!!! We are totally twins!!! That ep of Family Guy made me realize i wasn't crazy!!! I couldn't explain those floaties to anyone and I thought it was just cuz my eyes are so bad! I act the same for that test, I totally spaz out on that one!

And yes, I can't stand anything touching the front of my neck, I think I'm going to get strangled or suffocated!

so... I hate when sunday night comes around and Family Guy and American Dad is a repeat!!!!

Off work now, heading home. Maybe get back on once I get home?

TTYL!

I have a large floater in my eye. It's usually caused by a detatched vitrious according to my opthomologist. I had an accident with a bb gun when I was 11, and no I didn't shoot my eye out

but I did end up with a concussion and bleeding behind my eye. I have had them terrible since. The doc says they are harmless, but if I end up chasing one off the road one of these days, I can't say that statement is completely true.
I also hate hate hate the front of my neck touched in any way. My husband will catch me off guard and poke me there just because he thinks it's hilarious to see me freak out about it. He know he has to duck too because I have this reflex that causes me to hit where ever it came from, and make a terrible gagging noise. I hate that.

MeganS · 07-01-2009, 05:25 AM

I have floaters in my eye too. I have astigmatism in both of my eyes (I've been wearing glasses for a year) and my right eye is definitely worse than my left eye. I've noticed that I mostly get this one really annoying floater right in the corner of my right eye when I'm driving at night or in the rain.

I have another peeve. Every day I'm going to return with another one.

People who use the word "broke" when it should be "broken." "My leg is broke." it just sounds soooooo uneducated and pretty ignorant. It drives me nutso.

AddieLove · 07-01-2009, 08:27 AM

I thought I was nuts until I saw the Family Guy episode, too! Afterward I was like, "YES! I'm not alone!!"
LOL

My floaters are pretty severe. Several years ago it started off as one or two here or there. Now they're everywhere. When I look at a clear blue sky or something like that I'll notice tons of them.
I never had any eye accident to cause them, though.
Although, I used to wear my contacts so much (and would sometimes accidentally take a nap with them on, which would annoy me because I hate that) that my eyes started begging for oxygen. So these little veins started growing up to the pupil of my eye. My optometrist said I had to stop sleeping with them on and we switched to Night and Days, which are supposed to allow the most oxygen through. I think they're called Night and Days ... anyway, she said if the veins kept growing they would eventually blind me.

So I started on the new contacts and made sure not to wear them all the time and the veins have started to recede. Although, once you have that happen, they never go all the way back. But at least I'm not blind!
... technically. I have a really hard time seeing that "E."
Maybe they should make it less blurry, and then I could see it better.

As far as touching my neck: I can wear turtlenecks, but only for an hour or less before I start fidgeting. Whenever I would go shopping with mom, I would hate it when she would take a shirt and stick it right under my neck so she could see what it would look like at me. I'd always squirm away.

I have the strangulation fear, and I'm also afraid someone is going to cut my throat. That's probably the worst one. Whenever I see that in a movie, I cringe and grab my neck. Eww.

Mindie, your husband is cruel. Funny, but so cruel.

My right eye is worse than my left eye, too. I've had people tell me it's weird to have two different perscriptions, one for each eye. I can't help it?

People sneezing without covering their mouth! Yawning is bad enough but when you drive my car and sneeze on the steering wheel and window don't ask to drive my car again. EVER!

OK so this is like a train wreck.....I can't stop reading. I need a valium....

I don't really hate a LOT of things, because it uses up too much energy but I'll try.....I AM going to be a downer....sorry.
I hate cancer because it ripped my Mom out of my life.
I also hate cancer because it it slowly killing, my friend, one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
I hate heart disease because to took 2 of my sisters from me at age 51 & 57. Within 3 weeks of each other.
I hate alcoholism because it tore up my brother's colon so bad that the surgery he had to help didn't...he died at 51.
Losing so many people over the last few years has mellowed me considerably & I rejoice in the good in the world....

However...I do hate gum smackers, chewing with the mouth open & cell phone yakers!

dogbert · 07-01-2009, 11:19 AM

Those are very heavy items many of us can share. I left my list at things that people can stop. A serious illness needless to say isn't something like that. I am sorry for your losses, my losses and everyone elses on here.

Yorkiekids · 07-01-2009, 11:24 AM

Mispelled words.
Improper grammer.
People won't don't like you without trying to get to know something positive about you.
Not having spell check on here.

I'm very sorry for all your losses. Maybe you can list stuff that annoys (petpeeves) you rather than what you hate?

Yorkiekids · 07-01-2009, 12:28 PM

It's a sad thing when your mind starts to go. LOL

QuickSilver · 07-01-2009, 01:02 PM

Pssst, also there is spellcheck.

When you post, look on the upper right-hand corner of the typing area, and you'll see a little ABC icon.

See, sometimes complaining helps you find an answer!

1. I can't stand it when I am getting on an exit and some (most) idiots that are trying to get off do not yield at the sign. They can clearly see my blinker. If you are going to continue to drive then get it going or get the hell out of my way. I have no problems with hitting your dumb butt. Whew, that one always gets me riled up,sorry.

2a. People who think they need to talk on their stupid cellphones in restaurants. I'm sorry but it is rude and inconsiderate to all those at the table and especially to your server. Unless you are emergency personal, hang up your damn phone.
2b. People that think they are cool when they use their stupid click clack on the cell phones. Dumb butt, you have a private for a reason. Ugh!

3. Back to the road.. When you are coming up on a line of traffic and the dipsticks that barrel ahead thinking they are going to get to the front of the line faster... this is why the traffic is back up so bad. I especially hate it when they do this using the side of road (not a lane). I had never seen this done until I moved to PA.

4. People who end their sentences in prepositional phrases..again, a Pa thing.. i.e.." I'm leaving, do you want to go with?" WTH is that? With WHAT???

5. I can't stand ignorant people. People that like to be rude or make rude comments for no good reason. It amazes me how many ignorant people I have come across since moving to...PA.. hehe! Sorry, my friendly PA friends!

6. I can't stand ghetto talk. Yo boo, can I sit at dat boof. I wount to git some skrimps.. Irritates the hell out of me! Watchu wount mommie? I also can't stand it when the guy orders for the girl.

7. I absolutely can't stand the whole race card... ( don't come at me for this one) I think it is so ignorant to play it. I don't want to hear it. Get over it ~ everyone gets screwed in life. Every race has suffered in one way or another.

Crap, I was going to keep this one short... I will start before I really get going.

#7 is the best I have read so for. It may step on toes but so true. When it comes to getting a job it is better to be another race but they have to have so many. Does not matter if the other people can read, pass the test, has a car to get them to work!! ect. they get the job because of the race card.
