Chaps my ass

I don't have anything specific to blog about today, so I thought I'd aggregate a few random thoughts about everyday things that piss me off.

  • People who wash a sinkload of dishes but leave 2-3 pieces unwashed. WHAT!?!? You ran out of steam?!? Jesus on a Zamboni!

  • Anyone who doesn't know that that you can start to use the debit/credit card swipe machine before your grocery order is completely rung up. I want to hurt these people (or at least bruise them severely with my shopping trolley)

    Double voodoo on you if you don't begin to write your check before the order is complete. I will smite you where you stand and your grandchildren can come visit the dirty grease spot.

  • If you can't park it - don't drive it. (i.e., anyone with a Hummer, Tahoe or Suburban). If you drive a Hummer, you're pretty much a dick-less asshole anyway.

  • Reality shows about people whose problems don't include making mortgage/rent, buying groceries or keeping the lights on. We don't give a flying...you get the picture.

  • Gay men who make bad choices (fashion, boyfriends, pets, etc.)

  • Old hippies

  • Anyone who drives under the speed limit, with their seats pulled all the way forward and clutching the steering wheel like they are on a freaking death-luge. STAY HOME!

  • All my ex-boyfriends

  • Purse dogs

  • People who don't get British humor

  • Anyone who thinks Justin Timberlake is sexy

  • Anyone who eats at an Applebees

  • Walmart

  • Anyone over 50 with a visible tattoo

  • Anyone who is too cheap to buy teeth (this is most prevalent in Vermont and New Hampshire for some reason)

  • My extended family. Is it wrong that I find it funny that my cousin's oldest burnt down their trailer? WTF - I'm already going to hell.

  • Dollar stores - they reek of spoiled milk, cigarettes and shame.

  • Bloggers who only link to things with a no more than 5-word intro -- "I agree" - Couldn't have said it better" - Screw you! You aren't a blogger - you're a douche.

  • Anything related to Ed Hardy
I'm going to bed.

It should be freakin' illegal to still be using cheques in the supermarket - drag yourself into this century people!!

How about people who stand at the ATM and actually read and ponder of the prompts? Like they can't decide whether they want to make a withdrawal or a deposit!

Or for that matter, people who pore over the menu at McDonalds- like they want to consider all of the fabulous options because they don't want to miss the most delectable selection! It's a hamburger and fries, people! And you'll be back, so you can try the other one next tim!

Lou - Amen! Gone are the days when you wrote a cheque to give yourself a few days to get money in your account before it hit. Use the plastic!

Excellent examples, Ginger - I also hate the people who do a life's worth of transactions at the drive thru ATM. I've celebrated birthdays sitting behind these clowns.

Now you have me going back through my blog looking for links and one sentence intros... Yikes, there are way too many.

I love "the list" though, and it's oh-so-right-on.. My tatoo is under my shirt sleeve (hehehe)...

Tom: Attractive tattooed folk with good taste are, of course, the exception.

Thanks for stopping by :)

"Anyone who thinks Justin Timberlake is sexy"

You are preachin' to the choir!
Brining sexy back, my ass. How can you bring something back that you never had in the first place?

Uh oh, I'd be on your shit list because I definitely didn't get the fashion gene. Sorry!

My biggest pet peeves, time wasters. Like waiting for someone to figure out the POS credit/debit card reader. Swipe, select and go. Should take 30 seconds maximum.
