13 Things that yank my chain.

Haven't been in the office for the past two friday's so...here ya go another one.

13 Things that yank my chain.



1 - Bad Drivers. This encompasses an entire portion of drivers though - those that don't use their directionals, those that don't know how to merge, those that pull into my lane and go slower than they should be (like yesterday when I had to follow someone doing 45 on 52 which is 60 mph...my exit was coming up and couldn't pass), anyone that doesn't MOVE at a green light, people that tailgate, drivers that go slow in the snow. Obviously people that cut me off. People that slam on their breaks (for no reason). Yes I don't like drivers in general but bad drivers are the worst.

2 - Along the lines of bad drivers are bad walkers. It bugs me to NO end when pedestrians do not use crosswalks, and when they do use crosswalks they walk against the walk/do not walk sign. Drivers like myself rely on those "WALK" and "DO NOT WALK" flashing lights to know if there might be pedestrians in the walkway. I honk at walkers that walk during the "DO NOT WALK" sign. I do.

3 - I've been made fun of for this one... I have absolutely no patience with fast food chains that mess my order up. Especially when I'm in the drive-thru. (usually it's only when I'm in the drive-thru). I take the drive thru for a reason - either I'm in a rush and can't go in or I'm lazy and don't want to go in, either way it's a safe bet that I do NOT want to go into the facility. My orders are simple. Cheeseburger plain. I have asked for cheeseburgers plain for YEARS. (and for years they have been messed up) so I tried to reword my sentence. "Cheeseburger with nothing on it" which usually results in me getting a hamburger. Cheeseburger minus everything - they have no idea what I'm talking about so I get it all. "Plain cheeseburger" also doesn't register. "Cheeseburger plain" I can guarantee I'll have ketchup on it. Nayway - I have taken to sitting in the drive thru and checking my order before I leave. Screw the rest of the people behind me. I have also gotten to ordering something they can't mess up. i.e. nuggets or something of the like. The other day I was in the drive thru and ordered a mcdonalds ..2 for breakfast (Bacon, cheese, egg biscuit - not even an option for sausage) and I got sausage. I was sick of getting all the way home or to work and finding out my order was wrong. Sticker on the food says "double checked for accuracy" Double checked my ass.

4 - lAm3rZ Sp33k and undue abbreviations - Ok I've been online wayyy to long. I hate when people type with numbers. It drives me insane. I hate when they replace the entire sentence full of letters for numbers (i.e. lam3rz sp33k) or just once (i.e. any1) I dislike when people type "u" for "you" "1" for "one" "r" for "are" "y" for "why". My favorite is "ctc" or "hru" (care to chat and how are you) Seriously. It doesn't take that much time to type out all the letters involved in constructing the sentence and it makes the person look just a bit smarter. (I must make a statement here that there are some abbreviations that I do use i.e. LOL and BRB but those stuck from when I was much much younger...I've grown out of all the other abbreviations)

5 - Telephone - I really just don't like the telephone. I only like it to call people I don't see often. Otherwise, send me a text (NOT txt, put in the extra "E"!!! hah). That was a simple one.

6 - Up until a couple weeks ago I would have said my Moxi. Seriously it would go out at the most inopportune moments and screw up my recording. Dink.

7 - Sometimes I think people in general - I have a very low tolerance for stupidity. People that lack of common sense drives me insane. 99% of the people on those Jerry Springer shows and the judge judy shows...yea gotta go. And they spawn. It's insane.

8 - Pop Music today. What the hell is wrong with music today? Do you know what it's going to be like when our generation hits the nursing homes? We'll be callin people pimps and bitches, slappin people's badonkadonks, showin off the grills, trollin for booty, feelin our lovely lady lumps and we won't know how to speak proper english while we are there. I can't stand it when people don't speak proper (leave out verbs or change verbs to "we be..." no you don't be..you "ARE"). Yes. I just can't listen to something at 6AM that sounds like soft porn.

9 - Other peoples bathrooms. I am not saying anyone has a dirty bathroom, that's not it, I just have a hard time taking a SHOWER in someone else's bathroom. It's the whole foot fungus thing. GOD FORBID I have to take a bath at someone else's house, I would probably do it fully dressed. Thinking about it makes me squirm.

10 - Show boaters / one uppers - not everything is a contest, you don't have to one up me, you don't have to show off what you have. a wee bit of modesty goes a LONNNNNG way.

11 - I don't think I have anymore...I don't like the standard terrorists, animal abusers, child abusers etc etc but I can't imagine anyone would so I don't feel like typing about it.

SO I say here - I am eating 12 & 13. They aren't missing. hah
