Dogs that do something adorable over and over again and then stop when you are ready to capture it on film.

Mine does the same thing. She loves the camera, but she thinks a ball in her mouth just isn't that cute.

Ooo girls...this is a great thread....I only have a few, but they are HUGE:

1) Girls who fish for compliments!!!!! I HATE IT!! Oh, I'm fat, or Oh! My hair looks horrid! When they are skinny and have perfect hair!!

2) Girls who will not give compliments b/c they are jealous of others getting the compliments!!

3) People who brag about their life when everyone knows it's jacked up!! WTH!!?

4) Mean girls and jerk guys.

5) People who owns animals or have kids but have no clue how to care for and raise them!

6) Racist people. I will get in a brawl if it involves racial tension and someone disrespects!

7) When people ask me how much Snickers was!!! Stop!

Thank you

I hate it when people tell me I am sheltering my kids if I homeschool, which I am going back to this year. Aren't we supposed to shelter and protect our children? It is almost always those that feel personally offended like I think I am a better parent by it, or feel guilty because of their own lazy parenting.

I hate it when people tell me what I HAVE to do with my kids, or get angry because I don't let my kids stay the night with theirs. Trust me, if you dare to tell me something I have to do...you can pretty much bet it will now never happen.

People that show up to church for the social scene. If you aren't there for the right reason...don't go.

People that carry fake designer bags and tell everyone they are real. Seriously, do you think I am going to believe you carry a $1000 bag when your family lives in borderline poverty? If you are, I feel bad for your family that you would put a bag as a priority.

People that complain that they cannot find a job anywhere, yet haven't put their resume in anywhere in at least 6 months because of all the lovely unemployment extentions. Don't complain about a system you are clearly taking advantage of.

People that complain about a president based on what the guys at work are saying, or people that vote based on who the guys at work are, and never once research anything for themselves.

And a silly one....when someone pronounces milk "melk", tiolet "tolit" and a few others that are just silly sounding. It litterally makes me cringe. I want to correct them sooo badly, but I feel like a terrible snob when I get that way.

I feel like I want to wear full LaCrosse gear and barrel my way everywhere I go!

#2 Whistling. Just don't do it. You dont sound ANYTHING like what you are trying to duplicate!

#3 Weakness. I come from a strong mother and am a tough cookie, don't cry baby to me, ask for help I will help you but complaining will get you nowhere fast with me! I'm here to listen and offer advise but if you are not willing to do the work you wont get any thing accomplished.


That's pretty much it, for the most part I am an easy going person and can get along with just about everyone! Not a whole lot bothers me!

Oh, seriously, that drives me out of my mind!

Okay now you guys have me going on laundry. Hubby wears a t-shirt under his pull over shirts. Yet he doesn't pull them apart before laundry so sometimes they get washed together and the t-shirt isn't white anymore. Also kleenex in his pockets, OMGosh I just want to scream when I open the washer or dryer and find millions of little white tissue pieces on the clean clothes and have to clean out the washer and dryer. At this age can't he pull his shirts apart and clean out his pockets? I don't always catch it myself.

You made me think of another one! I hate it when people vote a certain way or hold a certain view only because their parents vote a certain way or hold that view. If your parents vote a certain way and you thought about it and agree with it, then that's fine. I thoroughly enjoy discussing politics in a nice, friendly manner whether they believe the same things I do or not. But when you blindly follow what your parents believe then you're doing nothing but wasting everyone's time and failing the system. Think for yourself!

Well, so long as I am not limited to listing only one...

1) Ignorant drivers. Specifically, drivers who try to zoom past a line of cars in a turn lane or emergency lane and then cut someone off at the last minute to cut back in line. Yes, I have been known to inch my car out into said turn/emergency lane to block such morons so that they cannot get past.

2) Irresponsible pet owners. More specifically, people who let their dogs/cats have free roam especially if it results in fluffy sleeping or walking on my car!

3) People who cut in line in Disney World. I'm not talking one person who got separated from the group, or parent with child rejoining the family because Jr. all of a sudden HAD to GO...I mean groups of people, 1/2 of the family or my favorite group of teenagers #1 pushing through everyone trying to meet up with group of teenagers #2 in the front of the line who are motioning them forward.

4) When my parents try to tell me what I *should* or *should not* and act as if they know how to better run my life. Point in case, I believe they honestly think my husband and I are incapable of going on even a brief vacation and taking our daughter without one of them along to supervise. Anytime we mention to them our plans to do so, they immediately start with the "leave the kid with us and you guys go without her."

5) This one lady at work who thinks that she is the only one who ever works and thinks that everyone else plays around all day. She spends a huge chunk of her time snooping around and trying to keep tabs on everyone else instead of focusing on her own job. It's really quite pathetic to sit back and watch. She stands at the printer acting like she's waiting on someone just so she can check out what's on everyone's computer screens.

YEAH, that one! Isn't that crazy. Or those who decide to have a chit-chat session or family reunion in the middle of the grocery store aisles, blocking people who actually came there to SHOP and GET OUT.

The "close standers" drive me nuts too.

Gum Smackers. Chomping like cows with their mouths open.

People at the grocery store who wait until everything is rung up to make out a check. Like it's an afterthought "oh, yes, I need to pay for that don't I." then proceed to write it out ever so slowly, and then sometimes to slow things up yet more they balance their checkbook right there at the counter.

People who talk loudly and too much at restaurants, as if they're giving a speech or seminar that everyone in the surrounding tables must hear.

This is a fun topic... I could come up with more, but will stop here.

Oh funny, I think we must work at the same place.

My hubby does that too or pulls his socks off and leaves them in a little ball, ewww!

Ohhhh, I hate that too! Give me my personal space, man!! When I used to have LONG hair, I used to FLICK it back. hehe lol Sometimes, even doing that wouldn't help.

Do they think that those extra few inches are going to get them to the front of the line faster?

I HATE it when they drive SLOW on the FAST lane!! Get out of my way!!
I also HATE it when they press on their brakes...for NO reason!!
