Subject: Pet peeves...(Part Dos)

Written By: Natalie on 05/29/02 at 01:31 p.m.

...about the opposite sex.  (Thought I'd toss it up a bit.)

What bothers you the most?

**As a sidenote, this does not include ALL men.  These are just some observations I've made.**

(Here's my top ten list):

10. Beer breath is not a turn on
9.  Hello!  Remember a thing called chilvalry?  How hard is it to open a car door or pull out a chair?
8.  Since when have t-shirts w/ holes and pit stains become a fashion statement?
7.  Having more than one girlfriend at a time is NOT a form of charity
6.  Being able to burp the National Anthem doesn't make you more patriotic
5.  You don't OWN the remote...I do!
4.  Not every person stopped next to your car at a red light wants to race
3.  Trying to serenade me with "We ain't nuthin' but mammals, let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel" isn't the  way to get me in the mood
2.  Terms of endearment do not include: "old broad", "my beeyotch", "old lady" or "my ho"
And finally,
1.  No, it's NOT funny when you flatulate in public

From a male chauvinists point of view, top ten most annoying things about women:
10. So why do you get a kick smelling people's breath?
9. Women don't return our chivalry. The least a woman can do is cook us dinner or pay our tabs.
8. Women have jeans with w/holes and stains. You don't hear us whining about it.
7. But having more than one boyfriend is "Keeping America Beautiful"?
6. How do women know we burp the National Anthem? They don't even go to the ball games.
5. And you'll eventually own the whole house too.
4. Women do like to race-the biological clock.
3. And "Not tonight dear, I have a headache" only makes men more determined.
2. I'd rather say terms of endearment than watch "Terms of Endearment" 100 f***ing times.
1. Oh yeah, then  Y R U laughing? ;)  
Note to women: This is only a joke. I love all women-most of the time. ;D

Get me a magazine rack, I got issues! (Keep in mind that Langdon is newly single after nine years and more than a little prone toward bitterness...)

10. Why do you jump up and touch things... signs, tree branches, the ceiling...what's the point?
9. You try sitting in a butt full of potty water in the middle of the night and then tell me leaving the seat up is no big deal.
8. Your dogs don't know they have balls. Neuter them!!!! It won't cut yours off at the same time, I promise.
7. When you work an average of fourteen hours a day, don't have the audacity to tell me it's for me. If you're too tired to give me a little lovin', then it ain't worth it.
6. I like your friends. I think they're great. Don't use them as an excuse when you come home drunk.
5. I don't want to call your peni$ by a separate name, thank you very much.
4. And while we're at it, don't name my bre@st$!
3. Do you have to get out a fresh glass every single time you have some water? If the answer truly is yes, how about leaving it somewhere vaguely near the kitchen when you're through with it? The dishwasher would be nice, but I understand that the sink is soooooo much closer...
2. When I don't laugh at your joke, it's not because I'm stupid, it's because you're not funny.
1. Tip top tippity pet peeve... to be crass and possibly edited... why do you expect me to injest your bodily fluids when you won't even taste mine? The tongue. Learn it. Love it. USE it.

Note: the ex is not an ex because he was guilty of ALL of these, just one or two. Wouldn't want to give anybody a false impression.

Other note: I am also aware of the existence of a certain man or two who frequent this board who are guilty of none of the above...you'll be kidnapped shortly.

I have some minor grievances too, but not nearly as bad as the ones posted above.

10. Please make up your mind.
9. If you say "NO," don't tell me later that you actually meant and felt like "YES."
8. Please make up your mind.
7. Read. Read some more. One couldn't possibly be this dense.
6. Please make up your mind.
5. When I said, " I like it" for the 20th time, it is because I really liked it and didn't say "go and change again and let's make it to the theatre 30 minutes late..."
4. Made up your mind yet?
3. Obsessions with an abusive ex and judging me by the terrible choices one has made in men before.
2. Ok, now, have you made your mind? Everyone is waiting.
1. Cancelling at the last minute after all the trouble I went to get the tickets for (opera, play, film, art festival, etc) just to spend more time riding motorcycles (among other things) with "abusive" ex ::)

As I gaze into my crystal ball I see this becoming a pet peeve of TB's in the future:

Calling me up after you're married and have two kids to tell me how much you regret not choosing me and how you wish you'd never made up your mind THAT way.

Then I'd be getting sooo many calls day and night, I'd have to have my number unlisted (wait a minute - it already is!) ;) ;)

I'm reminded of the film, Before Sunrise, but, then, I remember how horribly warped I look next to Ethan Hawke :P

You got that right.  

My pet peeve (ex behavior alert) is having a job and using your paycheck to buy crap that is not necessary....don't help pay the bills even though you live here.  I love supporting people who don't help out.  Definately don't buy a box of auto racing trading cards for $25 and then look at me and tell me "but this one is worth $50, honey"...well take it to the light company and see if they will take it for payment of the bill.....But, then again there is a reason I call him ex. :)

I get this in work sometimes, but most of the guys at work are better than this.

The guy goes to college for X number of years to learn Really Technical Stuff, Takes An Exam And Passes It, and is granted a license to repair Dangerous Stuff.

I went to college, too.  I was even on the Dean's List for Academic Excellence. But it was in a different subject.

I hate it when this (particular) guy assumes I am stoooopid because I don't understand what a whatsamawhosis is, or why it's better to use than a doowatchee thingy.  I'd like to see him try to figure payroll taxes, or calculate depreciation on a fixed asset. >:(

Trust me, you don't really "eat" it.  Stop gnawing. Do you like teeth?

Why do I find pubes in the bathroom closet? What the hell are you doing?  The Satuday Night Fever John Travolta blow drying his hair dance?

If (as you insist) you are so massive, why can't you aim that puppy to actually hit the toidy?  According to you, you could stand 5 feet away, so why is my ceramic floor always slightly discolored?

Please, please stop playing sink the toilet paper.  You couldn't hit the side of the barn if I were aiming it for you!!!

That is an exit. AN EXIT!!!!  Next time you ask, the produce is coming out, and you are first!!!!

No matter what you say, the Penthouse Forum letters are total BS.  Get over it.

OK, you have a bad back. I will cut the lawn.  The next time you complain that the lines are crooked, I will cut you!!

Loosening your belt and belching loud enough to break the sound barrier is not a compliment to the meal.  Saying "Good meal" is.

Did I mention no gnawing?

Why did it take 4 years for you to paint the living room, but the garage drywall was painted in a New York minute?  Please do not insult me by saying you need your "area" to be fixed up.  The garage looks nicer-the furniture is going in, and you tools will be up in the living room.

You snore.  Admit it.  Yes, you do.  The neighbors know it.  Cleveland knows it!!!  If I want to try to get to sleep before the woodchipper starts, please- it's nothing personal. I haven't slept since the Bee Gees were No.1.

Please- I am not the ball and chain, your old lady, your other half, or you b i t c h.  I have a name. Use it.

It is not amusing to play the washrag game every day and night.  Yes, you are a stud.  Oh, my.  Rolling my eyes?  Not me.

Calling it winkie is juvenile.  So is calling it Jake the one-eyed snake.  You're 42, for God's sake!

No matter how many times you ask, having a threesome is not normal behavior, coming from a man who will not take the Lord's name in vain, or say God Da**it.  I would think that the guy upstairs views adultry as being the greater sin.

No, you are not going to wrestling school. Shut up.

Those peenie pills don't work.  It's a scam.

You can work out all you want, but smoking a pack a day and guzzling beer and doing other substances will negate the whole effort.

No, you may not open a tatto parlor.  Shut up.

I do not think NASA wants you. If you can't climb on the ladder to clean the gutters, you won't have a prayer in zero gravity. Shut up.

No, I will not cut up you food for you prior to serving it.  You are 42. for goodness sake!

No, you may not open a bar.  You will lose money.  Shut up.


Thanks for letting me vent, guys.  BTW, this is a composite of a lot of men that I know-I'll let you figure out which ones apply to my hubby! ;)
