You can really learn alot about someone just by looking in there car..I have a friend that dates alot and when she goes to a guys home she always checks out his shower to make sure he scrubs it out. Im like her, I dont like dirty tubs or dirty cars.

Ok I'm not quite that bad. that is truly disgusting!

This quote cracked me up!: "I have a friend that dates alot and when she goes to a guys home..." and my computer does spell check and the "alot" is underlined in red. LOL!

I know you didn't mean it like that, but that's how it read out in my head.

manolos mom · 07-19-2009, 05:31 PM

No, I just spell bad and Im too lazy to spell check.

People that cant get off their cell phone!!!! What the heck do people talk about ALL the time??

QuickSilver · 07-19-2009, 05:46 PM

ARGH! Some more:

- People who let their dogs roam everywhere and don't care if they are bothering other people.

- People who, when seeing their dog completely ignore Thor's "back off, I don't like you" signals, call across the park, "don't worry, she won't hurt your dog." Maybe not, but she is scaring the piss out of him, and she has 95% of the park to roam around in, do you mind keeping her out of the spot I chose, which happens to be as far away from your dog as possible?

- People who let their boxers drool on your clothes.

- People who let their dogs steal Thor's ball and soak it in dog spit.

- People who eventually get the ball, even though you tell them you don't want it back, insist on coming over, bringing their boxer with them, and repeatedly try to hand you the ball while you are trying to keep your dog from having a stroke.

Okay, I will let you in on a secret... (this was just one person). But come on, can I not let Thor play in one TINY section of the park by himself? I never let Thor repeatedly harrass strangers, and let's face it, he is tiny and adorable and loved by everyone he meets!

People that are presumptuous, change your things around without asking or being asked, and THEN expect to be thanked for their "organizing" efforts.

Grrrrrr...... No kidding this just happened today and they said I was UNAPPRECIATIVE! Well, they were right about that, I really did not appreciate it. Some people think they can do things better, or their way is better and they can't take the initiative to start their own project, instead they want to mess with other people's ideas. Then when mentioned, they try to turn the tables, get rude, insult, tell you how you should be doing it, and blame you for not doing it well enough, timely enough, or to their liking in some other way. Who asked for their input in the first place!

People who let their dogs come sniff mine at the vet's office. They are not all there for a well dog check up! I don't even let mine walk on the floor there but some think nothing of letting their dog get ultra-personal with mine while I'm holding them.

People who let their dogs crap in my yard -- always seem to be the gigantic ones who leave a mountain load!

People who say you are being rude or biting their head off when they are the only ones raising their voice or speaking rudely.

Waitpersons who have to recite such a long list of specials -- I usually don't remember them all anyway, rarely order a special, I could have had my dinner half-way prepared by the time they get through the list, and what is the menu for anyway?!?!??

People using the handicap carts who do not really need them but drive them rudely and recklessly through Walmart. People who block the aisles in Walmart. Actually just about anything having to do with Walmart!

People who cannot afford appropriate medical care for their pets and have not bothered to get insurance or a WellCard to protect them in an emergency.

Okay, I am done ranting -- thanks for giving me the outlet!

- People who give your dog cake, lecture you on dog diets, and then brag that their (overweight) malteses are on Paul Newman food because it is so high quality...

That drives me crazy too -- people who think their opinion of what your dog or even your KIDS can have to eat is better than yours. I told a certain relative that my son would get sick if they gave him sausage. They decided they knew better and this was "good sausage." (Like I had only fed him some old rotten sausage that had made him sick before!) Then when I am trying to nurse my poor sick-to-his-stomach son, they start blaming US! His stomach should not be so sensitive, I must not feed him enough variety, maybe he just was too active today......Grrrrrr.......another person thinking their way is best! Only this makes me angrier because then my poor kid and probably your poor dog had to suffer!

flipflopsusie · 07-19-2009, 06:51 PM

I hate bad manners.
Kids that say yeah.
People that don't wipe off gym equipment.
Neighbors that don't keep up their yards.

FlDebra · 07-19-2009, 06:51 PM

Talk about pet peeves! Whewee! Rocky just crawled up into the bed I have for him beside my computer. He let out the smelliest doggie gas ever, looks at me like "what did you do?" and then indignantly hopped out of the bed, shook himself good, and left the room, casting one last accusing look over his shoulder as he went! It wasn't me Rocky, honest!

Thor actually seems okay, thankfully. I'm shocked, that's got to be the most sugar he's ever had at one time. She actually held out a second cake slice and said, "I assume you don't want him to eat this one too." Uh, no I don't, considering he shouldn't have had the first one.

I know it's not funny, but I kind of cracked up at your "old rotten sausage" comment. That is so true, like you said, "every time I feed my son sausage I find in dumpsters, he gets sick. I guess he just doesn't like sausage!"

Glad Thor weathered the big slice of cake all right. That is a lot of sugar for a little dog. Maybe next time you can slam a 5 pound bag of sugar on the counter and say, "you feeding my dog that slice of cake is about like you eating this whole bag of sugar -- do you want a spoon or a ladle?"

Isn't it fun to think of all these things that we won't ever say but sometimes feel like we should?

It annoys the heck out of me to see others wearing the blue tooth things in the ear. I'm sorry, but I don't think it looks cool. I think it looks silly.

Does me too. Especially if they're talking on it while walking alone....
But, I do understand them wearing it while driving.

Definitely for driving... I think its more irritating for me because of a person I had a falling out with... the way she acts with it drives me insane... among other things of course.
