amen.

one way streets in the city, and you drive down them late at night accidentally and a cop pulls you over but sometimes if you smile very nicely they let you go.

- strip lighting
- the death penalty
- this guy who works upstairs called James
- people who move the same way as you (again and again) when you're trying to walk past them

American ebayers who bid on items and then say they don't have paypal and offer to pay in baseball cards or cattle.

Attractive women who think they are above the law just because they have a nice smile.

certain fake newbies who start a plethora of semi-clever threads.

In the immortal words of Gerry Sadowitz :

There are only two things I hate - Everything and Everybody.
And miscellaneous in case I left anything out.

Knee jerk? I wasn't actually referring to you in any way.

AsylumUtopia said:

your sig is hitting home. is this all too negative?

starkitty said:

Nah. I claim sarcasm.

I'm really full of fun and joy and all things positive (except plus signs - they get stuck in my throat).

Conservatism

People who interupt

People blaming me personally (I only work for the company damnit)

Kissing customers asses because head office won't back you up.

Sorry, had a bit of a rant there!!!!!

These are a few peeves

sometimes i feed on the bitchiness too much. that can be fun too, but it doesn't always come across in print.

that must suck when you're covering their asses (the office)

i have a habit of interrupting sometimes, or rather finishing sentences.

starkitty said:

Yeah, I've got myself in a few spots of bother because of that. Although, after a while most people will know your style and know the manner in which it's meant.
So for the record, unless it's prefaced with something like "On a serious note" one can assume that the majority of my posts are sarcastic, humorous, bullshit, or attempts at sarcasm, humour or bullshit. And the rest of the time I'm just having a laugh.

It does, as I am the boss I always get called out because the younger staff either get too stressed and start answering back or just shy away.

I stand my ground. because all customers usually want is some compenation because they reckon you are being rude.

One day I am going to lose it and tell them to f""k off

wildchaotic said:

that will be satisfying. make sure you have another job lined up though.

blindingly bright sunlight

conversely, i love dark rainy days.

Yeah I'll make sure I do and I'll use all my vacation during my notice period haha

people who ask a question instantly, like, "why?" when you've been rambling.

TheFrog said:

oh, i hate that too

I love the dark and really windy days
