Water. Like a cat, I generally prefer to stay dry (don't get me wrong though, I shower)

MASH

sheep.

broken air conditionings suck. but at least now i know its broken because the lightning melted the power wire. now i have to have the crappy restoration company that missed it the first time come back and tear out my walls tracing the fried wire back to my furnace to replace it. by the time i move out, damn near every wall is going to have been replaced. thankfully, not on my dime. i love my home insurance. still hate lightning.

Traffic...road construction....traffic......road construction.....jerks......traffic....road construction....aaccckkkkk!!


"Not much graphic designer jobs out there, would love to work Dwtwn St. Paul, so close"

not being able to get shit done because I'm so damn tired.

when i put my hair in two braids, get it divided good and straight, braid it up nice and tight, and then find i left out a little chunk of hair. *grumble grumble*

or being too busy with my band practice, fulltime job, marriage, and settling into a new house to get all the other important things (writing, promoting, social and family time) done.

insects

Regular people. People suck as a whole. A person can be great, but people tend to really, really suck.

spiders. my friend killed a spider on my wall and left it there. i thought they were kidding me when they said they just killed a huge spider. next day when i had my glasses on i saw it. scared myself silly. it was already dead and it still scared me. im not happy with spiders today.

Finding dog vomit on your pants leg.

yuk.

bad dog.

Being so damn lazy. Not wanting to move at all. (so unlike of me)

Someone called me on a cell phone (don't recogniz the numbers). Got cut off. Don't know who the HELL it is!! WHO CALL ME!!

people who call my cell phone then insist on askign who I am... you're the one calling the wrong number; you tell me.

What's weird the guy ask for my name? Is it you? ;)

not that I wouldn't call you, but no..

it has happened more than once to me

That's happened to me too. And one time, when I was still living with my ex, someone with a thick accent (eastern Indian, maybe?) called, was told he got a wrong number, and he rattled off our phone number and asked if that was right and I said yes, so then he didn't believe it was a wrong number and wanted our address.

Telemarketers annoy me......From now on I'm just going to set the phone down and make them sit on the other line.

One word. Carnies.

When a guy tried so hard to impress me at a party. Acting like an idiot (redneck) so bad. I bluntly told him "You bug the living crap out of me!"

I've started doing this. But first tell them "can you hang on for just a second?" Then set it down and walk away...

*heh* I don't have a land line at home so I don't get telemarketing calls.

the repeat wrong number callers. mr. sow alpha yoa, please stop calling me. mr. pitman knuckles, you too. ms. marcia freeman - leave me alone. they seriously believe im lying to them. they call and leave messages saying its rude to ignore them, and please call them back and such. oh, and they are all long distance calls. area code 267 and 617. i figure they are paying for the phone calls so i mess with them. plus none of them speak english very well.

can i talk to (whoever)
no
why
because you didnt dial the right number
but is (whoever) there
no
can i leave a message
no
why
because you cant dial a phone properly
(repeat)

People who feel the need to speak three steps above everyone around them to make themselves feel important. Anyone that can talk like their a smarty-pants should also be able to speak in laymans terms to better get their point(s) across, Otherwise it's like your speaking Chinese to a group of French people. It's not impressing anyone it's confusing them.

Meh.

You're just jealous.

Huh??

So somebody decided to crash on 35E and take up the two lane!! What gives? Had to cut through Maplewood and into St. Paul. Hee Haw!!

on the line of wrong numbers, i used to get repeated collect calls from a 'greg' in st. cloud pennitentary. and now i just get them on occation. persistant bastard. you got the wrong number ok?

A couple of neighbor guys who are in their late 30's decided to play with their stupid-_ss toy. A 4-wheel ATV, they revved it up, drive it around, stand around with beer cans in their hands. (like KingoftheHill) And they do it for a good 2 hrs. DORKS!!!

Yup

I tell you what

Yup

By the way, King of the Hill is EXACTLY what central Tejas is like (minus the humor)
I miss it sometimes

For Minnesota version would be:

You Betcha! You can ride on my ATV! Rev it up!



%^%$***^ They are doing it again!! My God, get a LIFE!! ARRRGGGHHH!!

I remember Texas. . . . .

Barely. . . . . . .

I think, though, that you kind find the sort of people portrayed in Arlen just about anywhere in the world.

Or at least here in Kansas.

Minus the friendly community setting.

Was King of the Hill actually supposed to be a comedy?

I always thought it was a tragedy about decline and destruction of the American Family through apathy and incompetence.

What reaallly get me is when people blame you for their own inability to say "no".

I have to say that my Uber pet peeve is when customers come into my store talking on their cell phones, or with headphones on. They don't say a single word to me, just throw their money down on counter, pick up their item and leave. After numerous attempts trying to communicate with this person, I give up, and don't say a word. When leaving the store, they always remove the headphones or phone, and make some dimwitted remark about how I should treat customers better.
I think I need a bucket of throwing rocks for these people.

not being able to figure out which song is stuck in my head, or if I even have a recording of it, or if it was something I heard last night, or what...

<B>Pet Peeve #564</B>

I hate that I'm almost 32 and still have acne.

Most likely from stress related. When I was going through divorce, job loss and so on. Damn, my face was covered with stubborn acne.
Right now, crystal clear!! Me love my "Clinque". I know that's expensive stuff, I can't have other brand.

snoring

I totally agree, this bugs the shiznit out of me.

I also hate people who say "shiznit" Oh and the snizzle my fizzle crap bugs the fudge out of me too. (Or maybe I'm just getting old.)

Yeah, what's the deal with that. I feel lied to. I remember in Junior High when they gave us the whole "your body will begin changing" sex-talk to us, acne was supposed to stop when you reached adulthood. Lies.

~Ether~

dude, that whole "sex talk" is still a pet peeve...

yeah, you got me there. Since when did schools get that responsibility dumped on them? Parents need to bite the bullet and do some things themselves...

wussy parents...

yeah.. there's another pet peeve... parents who use the media (tv, games. etc.) as a babysitter, then blame the babysitter for not censoring itself.

I understand single parents don't have a lot of time and resources, but two adults should be able to juggle schedules to make some time to spend with their children (or reconsider having kids to begin with). I have no time.. I also have no children after 4 years of marriage.

4 years? Are you shootin' blanks my friend? lol

~Ether~

When someone tried to convince me some drug are not bad. While I'm trying to say "I'm done, cannot be near it" due to bad experience in the past.

To me as drug-free is good for me.

8 years if you count our extended engagement...

Hummvee, WHY!! Why make those damn things!! That's a lot of frickin' gas!! I'm waiting for Saturn to make the hybrid within one year.

Same neighbors driving around ATV, are fiddlin' with a jet ski for a week! I thought those things had been ban in most places. Quit it reving up the engine. Gawwwddd!!

Speaking as someone whos 'extended engagement' is coming to a close I can tell you YES it does count. :)

~Ether~

bands that cancel on me... that pisses me off to no end. for #$%#$'s sake, learn to say no. especially a band that I've hooked up a dozen times or so... no #$%ing loyalty. man, am I pissed.

I hate grass.

More particularly I hate cutting it.

So very very much.

Why can't people just buy astro turf!?

Or rocks!?

Or do what some of more intelligent mexican american friends are doing. .

Pooring concrete where the lawn would normally be!?

I mean

WHY GRASS??

So cats can eat it and then puke it on my nearly-new beige carpet, that's why.

The next person who steps in front of my moving car will not experience my swift deceleration. That is all.

I love rock gardens, and hate mowing. I say, let the creeping charlie and plantain take over. they're prettier anyway.

Oooooh! THAT kind of grass...

I was about to disagree...

~Ether~

If you ever come to Eau Claire, I'll show you what an astroturf lawn looks like after a few years... it's not that pretty.

friend of mine is taking a train up from chicago (and I'm picking him up). where's he taking it to (no amtrak here)

minneapolis? ... NO!

La Crosse? ... NO!

I have to drive down to tomah to get him.

I was so hoping I could swing by the t rock tonight.

I know, Long Pig, it isn't pretty.

But I rarely look at my lawn anyway. . . .

Maybe I could just plant a whole lot of trees!

No grass, just tree next to tree next to tree.

It would probably be extremely expensive, what with watering costs and everything.

But it would be worth it.


So very, very, worth it.


hhhmmm... ..

New on today's hate list is local radio.

God may be in it, but I ain't!

Move to the northwest ~ I think there are about twelve lawnmowers in the entire region. No one really mows. It just sort of works out that way. People accept that things become overgrown and it's kind of nice. But then, most yards are something of a tangle of trees and plants and vines with a carpet of moss. Hell, moss grows directly over asphalt out there. Pretty little lawns? Bah. Your neighbors? If they care, just imply that they should consider moving to Ohio. :p

the rude drunk stranger who put his hands all over me immediately after i just removed them and asked him to be a gentleman and keep his hands to himself.

It's monday.

I Harassed my hostsite for password, they keep getting my e-mail wrong.

My kid's Doctor's office are not back yet from lunch.

My new Epson scanner need a updated Twain.

want this day to end *grrrrrrr*

Having to get outta bed on a Monday and 1/2 conciously get ready for work.. Felt like a drunk walking around bouncing off walls. Why can't work just be whenever I wake up to whenever I fall asleep, yet being able to do whatever I want in between?? lol
