Here is another thing that annoys me.  Police who are driving get close to a red light or a stop sign and then turn on their sirens, go through the red light or stop sign, and then turn the siren off when they get to the other side.

Add to that cops who drop in behind you and tailgait you for miles and miles.
I can't stand drivers who are discourteous to pedestrians, and at the same time, pedestrians who exacerbate the problem by crossing against the light.

GWBushh2004 wroteThere you go again, you couldn't go without another personal attack on people of faith.  Curious are you talking about ALL people of faith, or the extremists like Hamas and Islamic jihad.

--My personal hate (and I hope this doesn't start anything) are the left-wing extremists.  Open-society people who want secular things like: STRICT separtaion of church and state, legalization on drugs, public healthcare, banning firearms, legalization of gay marriage, and other stuff.  My personal qualms are with Michael Moore, George Soros, Al Franken, Jananne God-awful-o, Ralph Nader, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Edward Kennedy, and Conan O'Brien.

And one sidenote (please don't respond here on this thread) i'm surprised that no one has mentioned ''under God'' staying in the U.S. pledge.
Like Philbo, I don't like unsolicited dogma shoved at me.  Sometimes in comes from religious zeolots, other times it comes from VEGANS!  Christian zeolots preach about Jesus and hellfire, vegans preach about tofu and heart disease.  The net result is the same.
And I find it a little scary, GWB, that everybody on the Right has the same roster of left-wingers to hate.  I find it also scary that the names on the roster change depending on who Rush Limberger and the FOX scholars are ranking on.

Being rushed all the time. >:(

Don't worry they're like that up here in Canada too.

Which brings me to another thing that drives me nuts up here in Canada. The government will pay for immigrants to go to school, take a french class and have the luxury of not having to pay as much taxes as someone who was born here. I am paying taxes to help people who aren't even from my country get a better job than me. >:(

People that put other people down just to make them selfs feel better.

I was once 'associated' with Jehovah's Witnesses. They are not that bad - a bit pedantic sometimes. Try not to treat them too cruelly (I'LL SEND FOR THE COPS!!!). They are as nervous cold-calling on people as you are angry seeing them at the doors. You can always say 'not interested' and they should take the hint and write DNC on their reports (meaning 'Do not call').  :)

People who never use both sides of the toilet paper, I mean, what a waste...

I don't know about the rest of you but $23.50 a month is hard to survive on.  I got a mortgage at about 975 dollars a month.  Electric, gas, water, car payments, food, internet, digital cable, it gets expensive.  If Lockheed wasn't so fricking greedy they would give me a dang raise which I haven't gotten in over 4 years.  And Maxwell is right, my brother is in debt and he makes $300,000 a year!  The more you make, the more you spend.  SCREW YOU LOCKHEED.

Alright something that annoys me in the Georgia state patrol.  Its there commercials and them.  Every day about 15 times I see that stupid commercial saying ''we are cracking down on Georgia drivers for seatbelts, speed, and alcohol......because Georgia is ranked the fastest (in cars) then any other state.''  Every day I run late be they are stoping EVERYONE on the interstate and highways checking for presence of alcohol, which to me seems like profiling.  And, no joke when I lived in Tennessee ALL the police smiled and were so friendly, then I move down here and all I see are 20 year-olds with a serious bug up their ***.  I swear I think all the rookie cops are in Georgia then after a fews years on the job they move to the other 49 states.

As a reply to Absolutely Vile's comment about credit cards. Fair play I say.

A friend of mine has maxed out his 2000 pound credit bill, not realising it is going to take him about 10 years to pay off!

I used to work with a guy who was making $10,000 a month, and he and his wife regularly kept a $15,000 credit card balance and never had any money.  Imagine, a guy who was 52 years old, hauling in that kind of dough, and always broke.  ::)

They spent $400 a month just on cigarettes.  :o

I use my credit card to get frequent-flier points and that's it.  I pay off the bill in full every month, which means that if I can not afford to buy something "this month", then I do not charge it to a credit card either.  :-X

That's because they have nothing better to do....especially Cobb County Cops.  There's this road near Town Center Mall and every weekend, they have about 15 cops sitting there, waiting to catch people speeding.  Atlanta has one of the highest crime rates in the country, but it's more important to set up speed traps.  ::)

Yes!  You must live in Georgia.  The cobb county police force along with Powder Springs police and paulding country are some of the stupidest, idiotic, annoying cops I have ever seen.  But they all look perfect when you compare them to the Georgia state patrol that has nothing better to do then give speeding tickets to people going 5 MPH over the limit and staking people out at the Georgia-Alabama state line for fireworks.

I've never been there, but I've heard Cobb doesn't have what you'd call a "hick" per capita income.  Although, the definition of "hick" is changing.  If the right-wing is trying to say that "elitism" has nothing to do with wealth, it only follows.

People who SPIT on the sidewalk.Go hock up in the TRASHCAN,please,your spit turns my stomach!

Well, I've lived in Cobb for 25 years now and I wouldn't call it "hick" nor would I call it "elite".  It's pretty much middle class and the county seat's (Marietta) population is over 1 million. (definitely too large to call a "hick" town)   Alpharetta and Buckhead are the wealthier areas in the Atlanta area, btw.  :)

And if anything I said hinted at something political, trust me, it wasn't intended, I was agreeing with GWB's assessment of Georgia cops.  ;)

Which brings up another thing:
I go off to college....AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAR!!!  (Well, I can't drive too good anyway, but that's cuz they hardly let me practice)  And then dad yells at me for not getting a job.  Like he thinks it's so easy to get a job on-campus or that all places within walking distance are gonna hire just like that (btw, oklahoma's economy REALLY SUX RIGHT NOW!!!)

Not owning up to that - even if I have done it.  ;D

People who throw thier nasty cigarette butts all over the place :P

As opposed to people who throw nice cigarette butts all over the place!  We have a local mental case who picks up cigarette butts off the sidewalk.  He's got obsessive-compulsive disorder, apparently, his name is Bill, and I've heard he was once a chemistry grad student at the University, until his mind deteriorated.  My friend and I call him "Bill the Cigarette Picker-Upper."  He's generally filthy, and shirtless, weather permitting.  He prostrates himself like a Muslim praying to Mecca, and picks up cigarette butts, bits of paper, and god knows what else.  I've seen him board the municipal bus and prostrate in the aisle, hunting for discarded treasures.  I've bitten my nails as he calls the middle of the street his own hunting ground! Another local character, Monica the Horse Lady, has a crush on him, but that's another story.

I don't know if anyone else has had the experience with cops as I, but I find the farther up the chain they are, they more civil they become.  I've been pulled over by state cops and, while they're not friendly, they're more crisp and professional in their manner.  The local yokels tend to give you more dirty looks and attitude.  They also have a big need to intimidate you, like Officer Cartman, "respect mah authoratah!!!"  Among local cops, the attitude is worse among rookies than among older, higher ranking cops, as GWB points out.  Below local yokels, you've got security guards, rent-a-cops, and mall cops.  They're just d*cks!  I think it's because they know no one over fifteen takes them seriously!

To me it seems these 2 kinda contradict each other.  I'm glad that we have gotten to a generation that realizes white people aren't superior to blacks, yet too many people still have the same kinda problem with foreigners.  That's another thing that p*ssed me off at college: my roommate the 1st semester and her friends would make fun of the Asian girls on our hall because they couldn't understand english.  PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO RESPECT OTHERS!!!!!!!  Of course, my roommate just made the excuse (also used to justify her racism against blacks) that "she was from a small town" and "she was just raised that way."  Oh...well...nevermind then I guess you're excused then...because my hometown's even smaller than yours and my parents are probably a bit racists themselves but I sure as hell aren't....hmm...how very very odd....

To me it seems these 2 kinda contradict each other.  I'm glad that we have gotten to a generation that realizes white people aren't superior to blacks, yet too many people still have the same kinda problem with foreigners.  I don't have a problem with Asian, Spanish, or Indian people. The sometimes language barrier is what bugs me in that sometimes foreigners don't want to put the effort into learning english. I think as more foreigners come to the US and have families it won't even be an issue say in 20 years.

Oh I hear you!  This is something that really annoys me, too!  >:(

I usually don't have a problem with animals, it's the OWNERS I have a problem with.  Our neighbors have a dog (a big one) that they occasionally chain up in the back yard.  Well, I'm walking in the yard today and almost step in a HUGE pile of dog crap. 

Now we're talking!
PET PEEVES
1. Loser-y macho guys who own Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, or German Shepherds.*
2. Loser-y macho guys who own the above breeds and can't control them.
3. Anybody who owns any dog he or she can't control.
4. Pet owners who treat their pets like people. 
5. The above pet owners with resulting anxious, nutty, neurotic, ill-behaved dogs.
6. Dog owners who bring their dogs into shops and public buildings despite the prohibition.
7. Dog owners who leave their dogs tied out alone for 14 hours straight.  Poor dog!  :\'(
8. Cat owners who neglect the cat, resulting in a scrawny, scruffy, forlorn looking thing who
    shows up on my doorstep looking for a hand out.
9. People who pick "pets" higher on the food chain than they: great snakes, big cats, wolves,
    giant lizards, and crocadilians.  This is just wrong!!!

*my problem is with the owners, not the dogs.  In fact, a German Shepherd is one of my favorite breeds.  Any dog gets nasty if it's raised that way.

I dunno.  Maybe she was in the shower with them at the time.  That WOULD be grody.  (The peeing part, not having her in the shower).

Amen to that.  If you are going to live in this country you should at least know how to speak the language.  It will make life easier for everyone...especially those that come from other countries.


Thank you.  Why can't people who move to America learn English first?  I'm sick of the ATM asking me English or spainish?

6.) People who drive like they own the road(young people, People who Drive Mercedes, Lexus, or a big SUV.) Why do you have to drive like that? There is no reason for it.



So my hummer is probably on your list?  I don't hog the road, I just like big gas-consuming automobiles.  Its my right as an American.

You're joking, right?

When someone gets on the subway and has to stand in the spot where I'm standing.  Like, right on top of me. Especially if they smell.

I actully got a call from the DNC and at first I wondered how did they get my number so I picked up.  And it was some fund raiser recording that SOUNDED like John Kerry saying ''press 1 to send George Bush back to Texas.''  So that freaked me out and I wondered if the DNC would be nice enough to add another option.  So I waited for the ''press 2 to keep John Kerry in Massachusetts'' option and it never came so I hung up.  I wouldn't mind it if it was from the GOP or RNC but I want nothing to do with Kerry or the DNC!

People who try and tell me how I should live my life and that how I'm living it is wrong >:(

As long as a Hummer owner don't tailgate me we are fine. I underatand its your right as an American to own whatever vehicle you want. As long as we are on the subject of owing vehicles those "Buy American" theme drive me cazy. I mean some General Motors SUV's are built in Mexico. I guess I shouldn't buy an American Car because they are not built in this country.

Oh I hear you!  This is something that really annoys me, too!  >:(
oh yeah the calling back issue. Somebody was supposed to call me Saturday, Sunday, or Today. I wonder if they will call me.

huh???  I thought ties were supposed to be tied waaaay above the waistline (like around the neck)?  Or do you mean where the bottom lies?
??? ??? ???I was trying to picture that myself,and can't .Maybe ;) :) an illustration is in order.Cheers!

Thank you.  Why can't people who move to America learn English first?  I'm sick of the ATM asking me English or spainish?

Um, GWBush, I think you need to spend a year or two as a Guatemalan peasant.  After that you won't mind the big machine that gives you money asking you a question. 
Think about, the ATM says "English or Spanish" and you have to press one or the other, this does not exactly rank among the great travails of humanity!
At my ATMs, if you just ignore that question, it goes to English by default.  Maybe not on others, but nonetheless...
::)

huh???  I thought ties were supposed to be tied waaaay above the waistline (like around the neck)?  Or do you mean where the bottom lies?

Duh :P  I worded that incorrectly.  What I meant was, I hate when the bottom lies above the wasteline.  Sorry for the confusion. :D

Okay, I get it now, I was right with  my 2nd guess.  Along the same lines, ones that are waaaay too long look stupid as well :D

I know.. and ones with huge knots, too. :P

Any NASCAR fan who thinks 'their' driver is an absolute SAINT...they all screw up...by accident or intentionally(usually when they have been 'done dirty'). I KNOW neither Tony Stewart or Dale Earnhardt Jr is perfect...so I cut them a little slack when they have bad races.

Duh :P  I worded that incorrectly.  What I meant was, I hate when the bottom lies above the wasteline.  Sorry for the confusion. :D

When the skinny end of my tie is longer than the thick end, I hate that!  It's like, now I gotta start all over again.  I don't mind the tie extending slightly to the belt, but no longer than that.

A word of advice....buy a pellet gun, they're not illegal in most places and the dog could possibly die of lead poisoning if they still make the pellets with lead.  Not that I'd know from experience or anything ;) 8)


Forgot to add that they're much quieter than a shotgun :P
:o :oIf you really want to fight fire with fire,but not kill the dogs,maybe put treats with laxatives mixed in them in the yard.The dogs won't be able to eat them if they stay out of your yard,so staying in their own yard would be the best thing for everyone!Cheers!

A few points:

1.A shotgun is legal throughout all of American, not sawed-off shotguns, but shotguns in general and if it was me I'd use the shotgun.
2.Speaking from experience pellets are still made with lead and will kill most things they go into.  BB's are a safer bet.
3.Shotguns can be suppressed like any other gun through silenced bullets/shells or equiping it with a suppressor, though I wouldn't do it, its illegal now because of Brady's law I think.

1.  He lives in NYC.  I highly doubt the police (and neighbors) are going to take too kindly to someone firing a shotgun.
2.  I think you missed the point, the object IS to kill the dog.
3.  See above.  Firing a shotgun in Queens (isn't it Howard?) would be too darned noisy to do it "covertly".  That's why a pellet gun is his best bet

Next time it happens,I'm gonna follow the dog's owner,pull down my pants and pee on HIS TREE.What goes around comes around,I say. >:(

Not only that, a pellet gun is a lot less messy than a shotgun.

A 10-gauge shell leaves one heck of a mess.  :P

That's kinda cruel.  It's not the dog' s fault, it's the owners fault, why are you killing the dog?  If anyone even tried to kill my dog, they had better be looking over their shoulder for me.

LOL! ;D

No, I don't advocate killing anyone over something so minor as dog crap on your lawn, that's a bit extreme.  Your issue should be with the owner, not the dog.

I know, I was j/k. What people should do is pick up all the doggy doo and put in the owner's yard-someplace where they are sure to find it-maybe on their porch, or on their car. Just a suggestion.  ;)

At least he apologised, Howard. That's good news. Do you have a kind of 'Odd couple' friendship where you hate and like each other at the same time?

Certain family members who can't get their lives together and they invite you over to visit and complain about how they're just "hanging on by a thread" and you want to say "what else is new?, the two of you have been 'just hanging on by a thread' for the past twenty years," but they're real touchy about it, so you just keep your mouth shut, and you don't want to go visit them anyway, but they're family, and you've got to be diplomatic lest you get in the dog house with other members of the family, and you get the old GUILT TRIP!

I hadn't been to the movies in ages.  I went today to see "Fahrenheit 9/11."  They showed 7 commercials before the previews even started.

I despise those cell phone rings, they're so stupid, and LOUD!  I suppose I was pre-Goth in the '80s, the Robert Smith look with black clothes and eye make up.  I dunno, for me it was just some adolescent street theater, but today there seems to be a lot of spoiled sububan pathology behind it.  There's a whole of gross piercings, ugly tattoos, and an obsession with sexual kink.  Bleccchh.
High school kids playing hacky-sack are annoying just because I associate them with the annoying types who play hacky-sack.  Hacky-sack? That's in New Jersey, isn't it?  Hacky-sack isn't nearly as annoying as sidewalk skateboarding kids who don't know how to ride the d*mn things!!!  You're walking by bracing yourself for one of the boards to fly up and conk you in the head!  Skateboarding is prohibited on sidewalks in my town, but it never seems like the cops are around to send the little punks on my way.  Yeah, my meter runs out for five minutes, and I get a ticket, the skaters get to raise Cain all afternoon!

Male thongs?  Don't like 'em?  Don't look!

I guess you probably do it too.  The reason is I don't think hacky-sack was meant for 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 year-olds.  I think it was meant for people between 5th and 7th grade.  Them playing hacky-sack is no better then the middle school-aged kids who play hop-scotch out in public in the town square.  Sorry kids today seem to know so much more about sex and stuff like that but at the same time they grow up slower and slower and slower.

I first saw hacky-sack in the very early '80s, it was introduced to me by my big sister's hippie fiance.  I don't remember it as recreation for children, but always a game for college-age crunchies.

I hate encountering those cars in which the people have installed alarms that say, "You are violating this vehicle's space!  Stand back!"  It's like, you don't own the air in the parking garage, you big jerk.  I parked next one of those alarms a while back.  I did the only thing I could.  I expectorated the biggest wad of phlegm I possibly could on the windshield!

What about those guys who own $200 rusty subcompacts and they insist on installing "The Club," or whatever anti-theft device!

"The Club" should be renamed "The Scam".  ::)

All you have to do to defeat the club is to take a set of bolt cutters to the steering wheel.  Takes about 3 seconds.  or use a hacksaw, for 15 seconds.  The Club then slips off and you have unfettered access to the steering wheel.  :P

People who don't bathe or shower regularly...having to sit next to them on a crowded bus. There are some homeless people I've been around that smell like a latrine...not being mean,it's just sickening to me.Are they so mentally ill that they are afraid to bathe? Or maybe with their illness being active and their not being treated,they are apathetic and don't realize how horrible they smell.

Jehovah's Witnesses,Mormons,and salespeople knocking on my door and bothering me in the morning!!

Well, they have no place to shower.  I guess they kinda get used to it.  Either that or they can't smell it, kinda like you can't smell your own bad breath.
Okay, First of all they DO have a place to shower.where I live there is a place set up for them.....and if they don't want to use that place they could always wash up at a 7-11, Wal-Mart or other restroom....If I were ever homeless I would make Darn sure that I soaped up my stinky shirt and sponged off my pits.....NO excuse for stench :P

Most of the homeless are people you don't see idle on the streets.  The ones you do see on the streets tend to be mentally ill or substance-addicted.  Some of them have endogenous disorders that make it impossible for them to look after themselves, others became unable to look after themeselves after addling their brains with drugs or alcohol.  When you can't care for yourself, and there's no one to care for you (or coerce care upon you), you're gonna be out on the street, and you're gonna stink!

A lot of mentally ill people, especially schizophrenics, are either too paranoid or too disorganized to get themselves to a shelter.  Sometimes they're right to be paranoid of shelters because people have been robbed, beaten, and raped at shelters.
Other homeless people would rather stay on the street than go into a shelter because of the militaristic and dehumanizing policies some of these places impose.
I have seen homeless people enter stores in the city only to have the employees give them the bum's rush--literally!  Street homeless are persona non grata everywhere.  I can't say I blame business owners for chucking out the bums.  Stores are there to make money, they're not equipped to deal with people society has forsaken.

So where do you place this one? There was this "homeless" woman that I saw who was holding a sign that said something like, "Please help my children. We are poor and homeless." The best part? She had a frickin' freshly done French MANICURE!

Oh yeah....she was also wearing a bunch of gold jewelery that didn't exactly look fake. :P

There ARE exceptions though, Max. Many of the ones I come across at the library are pretty "normal" ...they read great books and use computers but thier stench is just ridiculously repulsive.

Your top 10 cell phone gripes:


1. Talking in restaurants

Gregory Edwards lost his appetite on a dinner with his girlfriend thanks to a man in the next booth who started talking about a kidney stone operation. "My ginger ale didn't look so good after that," said Edwards, 32, from Forest Hills.

2. Tattling in trains

On a recent 10-hour Amtrak trip from a vacation in Virginia, retired schoolteacher Wanda Wingfield was trapped in cell hell. "People talk so loud - they're louder on the phones than they are in person!" griped Wingfield, 60, of Castle Hill, the Bronx.

3. shouting at sports events

Sports fan Rob Greenblatt, from the Upper East Side, said he hated seeing guys at the NBA Finals talking courtside on their phones.

4. Self-absorbed at the store

The sign next to Frank Puebla's cash register spells out in clear block letters, "No Cellphones at Counter." But every day, the cashier at Saifee Hardware in the East Village still has to put the kibosh on oblivious chatterers holding up the line as they gab away. "It's annoying," said Puebla, 26, of Borough Park, Brooklyn.

5. Talking in theaters

Despite the city ban on cell phones in movie theaters, plays and concerts, pesky ringers still go off.

6. Babbling on the bus

Nobody likes to hear cell conversations on a city bus - especially Maria Ulmeanu. "Every time I get on the bus, I say, 'Please God, let it be quiet,'" said Ulmeanu, 48, from Astoria.

7. Not stopping in the stall

Yes, even the porcelain throne is not safe from the phone. "They're inside the closed door, speaking to their husbands, their friends, their parents," objected Long Island Rail Road ladies' room cleaner Gloria Bolton, 50, of Flatbush, Brooklyn. "They should do that in private."

8. Continuing in the cab

Amy Suggs hates cabbies with cell phones. "You think they're talking to you," said Suggs, a 32-year-old clothing salesclerk from DUMBO, Brooklyn.

9. Hands-free? What's that?

Looks like the ban on hand-held cell phones in cars is a bust with many drivers. "People still do it all the time," said Michelle Amran, 34, a homemaker from Forest Hills.

10. Below the belt

Bookstore owner Jim Drougas confronted one techno-savvy slimeball. "He showed me like a dozen pictures - all of girls' butts," said Drougas, 54, owner of a bargain bookstore in the West Village. "I told him there was a lot of police activity in the area and he better watch "his butt."

True.  When I worked at 7-11 we were told not to let anyone use the restrooms...also if people weren't buying anything they had to leave.  Paying customers see homeless in the store and they won't go in.  Not good for business.

As others have pointed out, shelters are not exactly ideal.  AND, especially in most big cities, they are not allowed in stores unless they are buying something.  Heck, in alot of places in Chicago, they won't even allow patrons to use the facilities unless it's a small child.  My son and I stopped at a Dunkin Donuts near Midway Airport the other night when taking my brother to the airport and the worker wouldn't allow ME into the restroom, but when my son said he had to go, he let us use it.  And, this was AFTER we had already purchased stuff.  I guess they could always use a public fountain ::)
I hear ya it's just that here they can walk into any Wal-Mart or King Soopers and have access to a restroom....heck...the library lets them in they can use THAT restroom to wash up. I've seen some actually that cared enough to do just that.

No but I can assure you if that ever happened they'd get a boot up thier *ss.

He then proceeded to finish off his cancer stick and flicked the butt against the building ::) At least Apple cores are biodegradable

I had to go really bad when I was out at my doctor's for a bladder infection...I was on my way out of the pharmacy to go home....the closest place was a 7-11. I asked to use a bathroom,had explained my situation....the stupid cashier said I could not use the bathroom there,that he did not care if I went on the floor,to go outside,he was calling the cops...I went to Dunkin Donuts...they let me use their bathroom...I did NOT make it. How embarrassing. I washed out my undies and my shorts,used the hand dryer to dry them quickly..d**n that 7-11 on Morris Avenue in Atlantic City...they just lost a customer!

It sometimes depends on the neighborhood, Mark.  My dad works at 7-11 and at his store the public is not allowed to use the restroom.  They have found needles and other paraphanelia in there after some have gone in.

When I went to London, I was amused by the sheer number of public toilets everywhere.  I suppose some of them might be pretty nasty, but at least it keeps any public space where one can conceal oneself from reeking , like in New York or Boston.
See, if I had a kid, I'd just go up and say, "OK, my boy's got weak kidneys, you let us in or he's gonna hose down the joint."  I'd try and borrow one, but parents aren't too receptive to strange men who ask if they can take their little boys to the toilet.  I mean, it just don't work out so good, you know..."

Four college guys rent the house next to mine and pull all-nighters every so often. They get drunk, yell and howl, and play their stereo, where all I can hear are the booming bass speakers - sounds like a jack-hammer from midnight till about 4AM. A couple of hours later I have to get up and go to work.  On a lighter note, you mentioned King Soopers, I remember we used to call it King Stupids, lmao ;D

Someone with obviously too much time on their hands, drove up the road and shot a paintball gun at my house and some others on the road.  >:(  There wasn't any damage, but it was a pain in the butt cleaning all that crap off!

The latest commercial for Commcercial Federal Bank....it's a radio commercial and it talks of somebody finding a purse full of credit cards and cash....they return it to the bank and the bank tracks down the owner. It makes her Christmas as she thought all her money was stolen. Here's my problem....they go on to say how the guy at the bank is a hero for finding the woman and that is the great service you get from thier bank....no further mention of the person that returned the purse????

Well, at least old London town had the good civic intentions.  In cities like New York and Boston, developers just pretend people don't have those biological necessities.  Of course, no matter what city you go to, the drunks and the junkies and the psychos are going to pee hither and thither instead of where they're supposed to!

They got rid of almost all the phone boxes (or booths, as we call them) in America because they weren't handicapped accessible.  The phones just stood out in the open air, and drunks peed on them all the same!
:P

People who judge a person by their SIZE,BEHAVIORS,HANDICAPS,etc,etc,......without bothering to TALK to that person.

My friggin credit card company.  How many times do I have to tell them I'm not interested in their stinkin "protection plan"!!!  They call on average once a week to offer this to me.  If we didn't get Toys R Us $$ back for all we spend, I'd cancel the darned thing, but it's nice not to have to spend anything for the boys' Christmas & Bday presents.

We had this idea of handing out pictures to anyone who stares. Maybe we should do that. Right now, we just resort to the old "Take a picture, it lasts longer" thing! :P

I imgine you have it harder than me. I've seen how people act when a person in a wheelchair is around. It's dumb, in my opinion. You have the right idea though. I'm just going to start handing out pictures. I hate to see what happens when I start showing my pregnancy. :D

Well, adults just stare at us. It's kids who actually say something!! Mostly little kids to their parents. And their parents don't say a word! I remember one day Rush and I were in a strip mall waiting for a ride home and some little girl says to her dad, "She's so tiny!!!" He said nothing (that I could hear anyway). I said back, hopefully within earshot, "It's not my fault!" By the way, I'm only four foot tall, so I am tiny, but sitting in a chair makes me look even smaller! ;)

As for when you start showing, Jessica, you'll probably get lots of glances, and looks of disbelief...but hopefully not disgust! I for one would be fine with it! I don't care about such things.

Well, adults just stare at us. It's kids who actually say something!! Mostly little kids to their parents. And their parents don't say a word!

Well, it is kind of creepy that I have to buy my shoes in the same department as they do. But at least they're tax free!! "Are these for a child?" "Er...yes! Yes they are!" Incidentally, there's also a T-shirt/poster/music/miscellaneous paraphenalia shop I go to, to buy the occasional band T-shirt and I get the same question. Only the guy at the counter nods as he asks. So I grin and nod back! Sometimes being small has its benefits! Cheap clothing!!! ;)

:o :o :oIt's too bad nice bras aren't found in the kids or preteen dept.In the 80s it used to be pretty easy to find bras in size 30 or 32.But now,it seems the smallest size is 34---the increase in obesity in America's kids has apparently articficially skewed the average sizes of underwear.I do live in California-but -I guess the stores don't think Asian women wear bras!And I'm not flat-chested either--I'm a B,so the typical kids styles don't work for me.They look rather sumo-like!!! :PCheers!

Rush and I get stared at too!!! Like...what...a girl in a wheelchair can't have a man?! And no he's not my attendant, he's my husband!!! :)

We had this idea of handing out pictures to anyone who stares. Maybe we should do that. Right now, we just resort to the old "Take a picture, it lasts longer" thing! :P

Well, some things are easier said than done.

As a short man, I encounter society's prejudice against short men all the time.  The media just LOVE reporting studies showing how short men get less respect, don't do well with women, don't make as much money, don't get promotions, have a higher suicide rate, have a higher heart disease rate, and so on and son.  The attitude from smiley beautiful people is, "gee whiz, men, I guess you better not be short!"  Height didn't matter so much to me until it became clear how much it mattered to our vain, appearance-obsessed society.
You've got all these women who just won't even consider dating a guy under 5'10," no matter what their height is.  Even if the guy is relatively attractive, like me, being "short" is a no-no.  The problem with height is that it's an immutable charactaristic.  There is a term heightism, which means discrimination against short people. 
Then there's what they call "short man's disease."
I was in a chat group about height prejudice, but it was just bitter short men kvetching about all the ways in which they had been slighted.  They picked up on every possible insult to short people in the media and wrote angry letters to the offending parties.  These guys liked to brag about how they bested taller guys in bar fights.  I found the whole thing insufferable.  I took one of the to task for saying, "short guys are expected to go out with fat women."
I said told he should show more compassion.  Fat women face similar prejudices to short men.  I got barraged with angry retorts about how "it's their fault they're fat, they just eat eat eat," and  "yeah, that's what they want us to do as short men, take the leftovers."  I could go on at length about these @ssholes, but the point is, they were the ones with "short man's disease," if anybody. 
In a way, I can't blame them.  If you don't have a chip on your shoulder as a short man, the macho culture will put one there for you.  It's just something you have to deal with.  However, bitterness and rage get you nowhere no matter what challenges you face, so I try to follow a path of wisdom...sometimes I stray
::)

Too many Hollywood remakes! and awful looking silly comedies?? is that the right word?

"it's their fault they're fat, they just eat eat eat,"

OMG! You do not know how badly that used to p*ss me off! I used to get told stuff like that all the time. "You have such a pretty face, if you'd just lose weight...." "You know, you could stop eating at any time..." etc. You can't just stop eating at any time. Mrrrrrrr. I struggled with my weight for years and years. I'd diet, lose a bit of weight, and then gain it all back and then some. At my heaviest, I was 20 pounds shy of 400 pounds. I loathed myself, but my mouth would rebel against my better judgment and I'd eat more and more. Finally, I just snapped and decided that I didn't want to look like that anymore. It took me a year and a half, but I dropped 200 pounds. I'm still not as light as I want to be (and I can't diet right now for obvious reasons ;D), but I'm happy with myself.

This isn't true for all people though. Some do have medical conditions that bar them from losing weight. There is also the very real disease of overeating (which I sort of had). It's right up there with bulimia and anorexia. That's why it irks the hell out of me when people say stuff like that. You don't know the person, so why are you making such stupid statements? The only time I get really annoyed with larger people is when they piss and moan about their weight and yet they're putting away fast food like it's going out of style. Don't expect compassion from me if you're going to stuff a Big Mac down your throat while crying about your weight. ::)

Just for the record, I never did eat much fast food. It was always big portions of homecooked meals. :-\\

My point exactly.  My disability, depression, has a behavior component to it.  Same thing with obesity. Sometimes with depression, you want to shut the shades and sleep all day.  It's the most tempting, but most destructive course of action.  Similarly, downing Big Macs and ice cream sundaes is most tempting for obese people, but most destructive.  When I see people with behavioral problems hurting themselves, I know how hard it is to fight.  Sometimes you win the battle of will, sometimes you lose.  Too many people hang onto the myth "stop eating so much" as the simple solution to obesity.  That's about as useless as saying "snap out of it" to a depressed person.
There's also a myth that SHAME works.  If you make people feel bad enough about their behavior, they'll change.  Shame--that is "toxic shame," as John Bradshaw called it--causes incalculable destruction.  Yet, so many people, mostly right-wingers, go on about how there's not ENOUGH shame!

On the flip side of that, I was always "super skinny" growing up (5'6" and maybe 85 lbs in 4th grade) and people were always telling me "you need to eat...you're too skinny" like I was anorexic or something.  When I explained to them that I DID eat, they looked at me like I was a liar or something.  ::)

Gaahh!  I know!  I'm 15 and I've weighed exactly 122 pounds for I don't know how long.  The last couple of years at least.  I'm one of those people that can eat and eat and eat and eat and never gain weight, and I'm sick of people saying "You need to put some meat on those bones!" ::) et cetera.  Most people wouldn't dare to guess how much I eat, but it's a lot.

You know what, though, you can't really blame the kids.  They don't understand that you don't have to say EVERY thought that comes into your head.  I've had my kids make comments about people before and I explain to them that a)it's not nice, they wouldn't want someone talking about them & b) WHY the person they commented on is "different" (if I can discern).  I once had a lady go off on me when my (then 3 y.o.) son asked me why the lady was so short (she was a dwarf).  I was in the middle of explaining to him that she was born that way when she came over and started yelling at me for having a rude child.  I then explained to her that he had never seen someone like her and was curious, like ANY 3 y.o. would be.  She said a few "choice words" and walked off.  He then asked  me "Mommy, do all short people use bad words?"  and I replied "No honey, only the rude ones" ;)


Who said I blamed them? I don't blame the kids. They don't know any better. However, the parents should teach their kids to first of all, not stare at people. That is more rude than making comments to a kid's statements. Second, the parents should teach their kids to be more tolerant of people who are different than they are before they are confronted with a situation like that!

By the way, I would never have a go at a kid's mum or dad for their behaviour. I understand that kids are kids, and if they're really young they may not understand what they're seeing. Hopefully the parent(s) will explain that not everyone looks the same as they do and to never judge a book by its cover. However, if they want to raise their kids to be intolerant jerks, that's their business, too. Just as long as they don't offend me and make me angry. "You won't like me when I'm angry!"

Don't forget the donuts. ;D

Heehee.  Funny story...my SIL's have "codes" for cops...they call them "donuts".  They explained why they call them Donuts to my middle son.  Last weekend, we were going to a Dunkin' Donuts and he sees a cop in the parking lot next to it and says "Gee, wonder if that policeman is in the Dunkin' Donuts?"  When hubby asked why?, he said "Well, you know Dad, cops eat a lot of donuts" ;D
At an apartment complex I used to live at, I was talking with a security guard and he was being constantly interupted by his partner on the walkie-talkie....he was at the Dunkin Donuts wanting to know what kind the other guy wanted ;D :D

Heehee.  Funny story...my SIL's have "codes" for cops...they call them "donuts".


We just call them "pigs". :)

It's so funny how people associate cops & donuts.  My father (along with his two brothers & my grandfather) are/were police officers & none of them even like donuts. ;D

People that are always looking for the bad in things really annoys me.  Be positive, people...it will make life seem much better.

LMAO!!  They try to use "codes" that noone else can figure out, though "donuts" is pretty obvious too ;D


We don't, but then again, we're not known for our subtlety. :P

Besides, we figure that the cops are so out of shape that if they DID hear us say that, they'd never be able to catch us. :D

Karen, I know what you mean.

He/she doesn't have a job but there's millions of others he's keeping awake.  Unfortunatlely, I live in the front of the street instead of the back of the building.

Are you sure he/she is homeless, or just hanging out?  A lot of those annoying homeless people are mentally iss, or otherwise disabled, no one would hire them no matter how hard they tried.  Heck, if you don't have an address and a phone number, you can't even submit a job application, not on the free market.

Fake people annoy the hell out of me, that and almost every living thing :D

Here's a big list of things I hate:

People:
1. Hypocrites
2. Homophobes
3. Intolerant Religious Zealots
4. Anyone willing to commit a hate crime
5. Badly-Behaved Children, such as those who swear, use violence, taunt others or listen to their intolerant, racist parents.
6. Corrupt officials
7. Critics. I don't mind people who do it for a living, but regular people who won't shut up about their opinion on how you're failing at everything
8. Arrogant people
9. Con Artists. Brilliant as they are, I do not respect their work
10. Those who lack senses of humor. There are a lot, especially on this site.
11. Spiteful ones
12. Anyone bent on genocide
13. People who are depressed without reason, and write bad poetry to seem "sad"
14. Annoyingly optomistic people. I don't have a problem with you looking on the bright side, but stop desperately seeking one in EVERYTHING! God how I hate them. I loathe them. Them and their song "The Remedy". I hate that song. A lot.
15. Pseudo-intellectuals. Anyone who pretends to be intelligent by doing things that seem intelligent.
16.Conformists. This is right up there with Optomists.
17. People who won't shut up about how great the 80s were and how bad the 90s and 00s are. I wouldn't care, but some of them NEVER shut up about it.
18. People who use WTF and HTF instead of swearing like they mean it. I denounced swearing, but I feel that you should either use it or not. No trying to get away with using the first letter in a web acronym, or putting an asterisk on 1 letter.
19. People on messageboards that go, "Hey ;D I ;D happen  ;D to  ;D like..." After you give an opinion on something.


There are more in that category, but I don't have the time or space to list them all.


Things:

1. Trendy music. Who decides which songs are cool? We need to shoot that person in the face.
2. Constantly changing and upgrading technology. Just when you get something cool, it's obsolete, and everyone hates you if you don't get the new thing.
3. Web logs with no substance. Instead, they're crammed with online quiz results and bad poetry.
4. Message boards with people who do nothing but shoot down the opinions of others. See my signature for a similar thing I hate. It's made me become a hermit. I'm a fine hermit, if I do say so myself.
5. McDonalds commericials. They all seem to encourage the hatred of less-attractive people and view them as second-class citizens, denied bus seats to anyone more physically "attractive" or anyone who happens to have McDonalds food. I also hate whoever's deciding what's attractive in people. It's probably the media, so...
6. The Media. I hate them and their unrealistic perceptions on beauty.



I have OH SO MUCH more, but I have neither the time or space to hate all I want, so I may come back. I also want to see if this post gets any responses. Later!

Hey...I'm big...and once in a while I go to Burger King and get a Whopper Jr regular(notice NOT supersized)value meal. I am a food addict,and I have to really plan out what I eat to keep myself away from certain foods. I think a tendency for addictive disorders is in my family-my mom was a MAJOR alcoholic who tried to get 'on the wagon' several times...she died at 63,kinda young nowadays to die....and my biological father was an alcoholic and compulsive gambler. I have a hard time talking about painful things in my life,so I tend to stuff myself-and the pain-with food. I go to a therapist to help me work on my problems and the pain from my past...

???You must not have any food sensitivities if you can "stuff" yourself.I like to indulge in things like diet cola,frozen yogurt,middle eastern yogurt drinks,chocolate,and Indian buffets.But I have a sensitivity to foods containing corn products,egg whites,pork,lots of fat,lots of sugar,apples,OLestra, and some preservatives,so I have to limit the amounts of these foods I eat.A regular soda usually has enough corn syrup to give me a headache.If I ate so much I was ready to barf, :Pthat would limit my craving for more food the next time."Pigging out' on stuff likeRomaine lettuce and those mini carrots is good,since there's not enough stuff in them to make you queasy afterwards.But i guess spending time using the computer is a diversion.Cheers!

I have lactose intolerance,so I buy Lactaid milk. That's the only food intolerance I have. But I have intolerances to sulfa drugs and the antibiotic drug CIPRO.....

At the moment, the state government and their sh*tty handling of Medi-Cal. ::)

Oh yeah, and the obstetrician who I was supposed to see a month ago. :P
Doctors and dentists who don't accept Medicaid patients.....happens a lot in NJ....

People who have the mistaken idea that NASCAR fans are all rednecks! And they also think that all racin' fans are Southerners.......Hello,NEW JERSEY has NASCAR fans,so does New York and Pennsylvania...!

"Music" today ::)

I produce a weekly radio program, and I'm telling you, there's no better time than now for the kinds of contemporary music I like.  I just saw some of the best composers and performers at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MassMoCA), on the 3rd annual Bang On A Can Marathon.
Mind you, this kind of music is an aquired taste but the genres of minimalism and avant garde chamber music are vibrant and fecund...

Long lines at my bank(Commerce Bank in Absecon)caused by business people bringing huge wads of cash to be deposited....every dollar has to be counted....most banks have a teller JUST FOR BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS..the reason I complain about this is my legs are bad from my diabetes,and they hurt like hell!

Dentists who are stingy with the Novocaine....
