Irritants, Annoyances and Pet Peeves, OH MY!

y., I will maintain 'til my last breath that laughter is the best medicine!

AMEN!

There's a hyper woman on tv shopping who promotes her line of cosmetics by saying they are "bullet proof". I find that image so disturbing!!!

 

I wonder how many bullets to the face this woman has taken before she needed to invent makeup that could deflect it?

How about Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwiches that claim they are made with Real Ingredients.  SHUT UP...real ingredients?  As opposed to not real ingredients?  I myself search for the 'real stuff' when buying food....didn't know it was such a challenge.

 

[[mp...]]

That is so funny, do they really say REAL Ingrediants?? How stupid do they think we are, can't you just see them sitting around a table, working out just the right sleezy way to pull the pork over our eyes?  :laugh:

:laugh: Love reading this. Thanks!

 

What about these so-called Farewell Tours? First it's actually called The Farewell Tour. Then, it's the "Final Farewell Tour". Next, "The Ultimate Farewell Tour." 

 

How many Farewell Tours has Cher had? Is it four?

[[mp...]]

:laugh: Seriously T2, Cher has been "Farewelling" for about 12 years!! No kidding! Who does she think she is kidding?? $$$$$

 

Several pop/rock people said they would never keep playing after a certain age, now Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney are shakin' it well into their 60's, headed for their 70's! I think I remember that the Stones "retired" from concerts many years ago too!! 

 

Add Streisand to the "no, I really didn't mean it when I said that concert back in the early 90's would be my last one!" 

 

I guess the dough just keeps getting better, and although their politics, gender, citizenship and hair styles may differ, the one thing they all seem to have in common, is that they can all ta$e it with them, right??

When people are just standing there talking in the middle of an isle, hallway, or doorway, and as a result blocking your way.

 

When you invite people over, or they invite you over and they cannot stop text messaging.

 

People that hold up the line in a grocery store over some mistake they made, or picky desire they need fulfilled.

 

Spoiled little kids that feel entitled to everything.

 

People that are overly politically correct.

 

People that speak loudly for no reason.

 

People that defecate or urinate on toilets.

 

When somebody pushes you to get something done fast for no reason at all.

All huge on my list too!!!

Eew- I just hate it when I sit down on a public toilet seat and feel wetness.  I get angry at myself for not checking better and angry at the person who hover peed. I know urine is usually sterile. Still..it's just nasty!

I only have a couple but they are 'biggies' for me;

 

I cannot stand it when people say anyTHINK instead of anything, or noTHINK instead of nothing.  Makes me bite my tongue so hard the blood swirls in my mouth.  It's thing people not think!

 

The other is people on their mobile phones paying at cash registers, get off your phone and pay the cashier the courtesy of completing the transaction.

 

Oh and one more - people who guts down a can of coke in one gulp and let out a huge burp and think it's hysterically funny!

People that spread gossip, especially when the other person is ill or something, why do some people get off on others misfortune? Disgusting.

 

People that never have anything nice to say about anyone, ever.

 

People that block doorways for a chat.

I was in a store yesterday that had Christmas ornaments out for sale already.  The plastic trees were in boxes against the wall ready to be unpacked for display.  Are you freaking kidding me?  I'm not over Easter yet.  Or ground hog day. No wonder people just want to get the Holiday over with...they are bombarded for months.  Hmmm.

 

When I was a kid we bought a tree a few days before Christmas.  Of course I used to walk 20 miles to school, barefooted and uphill.  Those were the days.

Noticed this in a restaurant today and it reminded me how gross and disgusting this is while people are eating--

 

Someone, usually a man, blowing their nose at the table. I mean big, loud, gross, honking! And then doing it again several times.

 

Ewwwwwwwwww.

How about cleaning your ear with the end of a fork or opening the glass container of grated cheese, dumping it in your hand than licking it off...saw that just last week in a Pizza Hut.  Yummy.

Eeew - have you beat, Donna. I saw a guy remove his upper dentures and use the handle end of a spoon to clean them out.

Flippy...we went to celebrate my Best Bud and her husbands anniversay early this spring.  She wanted to go to Outback.  Her steak comes and she says "I'm sorry but I can't chew with these bottom dentures."  She spits them out into a napkin and places them next to her water glass.  I was nosehole deep in w/d and the mere sight of them mad me gag...the pink  denture cream oozing though the paper napkin...

 

When she was done eating, she rinsed them off with water from her water glass and popped them back in.

 

Oh well...I guess in the scheme of things when  people go to restaurants in their pajamas and slippers...slop their food all over the table from trying to text and eat at the same time...allow their toddler children to crawl around under your feet...ANYTHING GOES!

 

:smitten:

[[mp...]]

And WHY are children let into restaurants anyway?? 

[[te...]]

Saw this in the waiting room at the hospital. People allowing their babies or toddlers to crawl around on the (nasty, germ-encrusted) floor! Even saw a baby lose his pacifier on the floor. His mom picked it up and stuffed it back into his mouth. Egads!!!!

 

 

[[mp...]]

All my life I've seen Mom's pick up dropped baby bottles and pacifiers, suck on it, then plop it back in their baby's mouth, because we all know that Mom Spit is not only germ free itself, but it sterilizes rubber!!

Mr Flip was at the health food store yesterday. A lady in her 50s had two children in tow. He overheard her tell the kids, "see that man, he has a cell phone on his belt. He shouldn't use a cellphone".

 

Later, they were in the same aisle and she said to him, " Sir, we don't appreciate you following us around the store with that dangerous cellphone. Please stay at least 50 feet away"

 

I can't write what he said back. This amazed me. You don't want cell phone exposure then stay home in your copper lined house but don't accost people in public.

I went to the casino last night to listen to a band with The Husband.  The lounge is in the middle of the gaming floor....no one under 18 is allowed in either place.  About two inches outside the gaming floor I see two strollers with infants in them...their so called parents playing on a machine within eyesight.  It's and Indian casino...smoking is allowed...the music was so loud it sent me to the lobby.

 

So riddle me this...I can't bring my own soda into the casino...ID is checked for every questionable movement yet two gamblers can leave their kids to suck in smoke and vibrate out of their diapers from the pounding bass of the musicians...no one says a thing?

 

Brother...if you jerk your kid by the arm in a grocery store, someone is on the phone within ten seconds calling child protective services.  What a world.

Oh no, poor woman!! This whole world must be one very scary war zone to her!
