People who wear wool hats to make fashion statements in the dead of summer in Texas. "Um excuse me, it's 103 degrees out. Does how you look really mean that much? Surely I won't be the one to dial 911 when you collapse from heat exhaustion. F you assface".

People who still write checks in the supermarket. "Ummm jackass. I got into this line because it was shorter. If I knew you hadn't moved out of the stone age yet, I would have got into the other line. I hate you and your 17th century ways you assface".

People who care about "NFL Power Ranking Polls" - I've been a huge sports fan my whole life and I can't think of anything less interesting than how strong someone thinks a certain team is in week 4 of the NFL. "Oh how could you possilby think the Saints are stronger than the Colts? Blah blah blah. Try debating something even remotely interesting asshat".

P.S. To be clear because sometimes this stuff gets misinterpreted, I'm not really that hostile about any of these things. I was trying to add some color commentary to be silly about it.

Oh that's a good one. Wait....what kind?

People who never consider other people's feelings.

Right now I'm bugged by a tenant who never pays rent on time... and my ethical inability to kick her out on her butt.

That's a tough spot to be in.

The people I work with (and my job), especially our interns who think they are either too good to do what I tell them, or are too dumb to figure out the answers to the most basic questions on their own.

Someone else's moodiness.

Not being able to find a dance partner or a school that doesn't require me to find one.

If I lived near you and were male, i'd dance with you.

Aww, you always try to comfort me in such a cute way

I know you would, dancing with me can be a very sensual experience

I bet if you were to stand in the middle of a busy street, holding a sign that says 'Dance with me' you'd have dance partners queing up. Try it.

Haha Thank you, but I still hope I won't have to do something like that!

Younger guys are not really interested in ballroom, that's the problem... And it's a bit hard for me to find somebody more experienced, which would be perfect, as I've just started living in this city.

Anyway, I'm off to bed now. I hope I'll think of something these days...

Good night to you!

What's reeeeeeally bugging me lately are commercials disguised as tv programs.

TNT- "Leverage" basically a commercial for the Hyundai Genesis

CW- "Vampire Diaries" Last Thursday's episode they showed the lovely easy to operate sound system of the Ford whatever and had Goldfrapp's song so prominently displayed. They totally went Vanna White pointing out the lovely features.

So insulting!!!

Quit trying to use every second of every day of my life to sell me something!!!

Oh, and the other thing bugging me.

People.

Specifically, those that have an appointment at my clinic.

If you're an hour late for your appointment, don't throw the stink eye around because you have to wait for us to work you back into the schedule.

and

Don't tell me my job must suck. Were you raised by wolves??? Manners....ever heard of them???

grrrr.

Why is it so hard for some grown folx to accept that the world doesn't revolve around them and their nonsense?

Good luck with the search.

And goodnight!

My friend's wife, who I am "friends" with as well.

She's nice in most ways. But she has this need to be negative about damn near anything that those around her find positive or are happy about. I wish I could explain it better so I'll just give a few examples of what I mean.

Most recent example, I finally got my new phone which I am very happy with. I brought it to their house last night because one: I always carry my phone on me, even when I had a comparatively shitty one. Two: my friend wanted to check it out to consider getting one as a present, which I guess he won't be. Anyhow, I'm all happy about finally having a phone that isn't a piece of shit, and I mentioned one or two of the things I like about it. She purposely finds one minor thing, in this case the half second delay in the virtual keyboard going from vertical to horizontal, and smugly says "Yeah that's just like the phone I got a while back. Which I hate." I don't expect her to bow down and praise all things I deem of value, but damn, this sort of thing just happens WAY too often.

Example two: My ex-wife and I, then married, move into a new house, military housing actually. Our first place sucked and she never failed to remind us of that. My ex and I move into a somewhat nicer place, nicer than their place even. She walks in and rather than acknowledge any one way our house is nicer than at least our previous one (not her own house because I wouldn't expect her to do that), what does she do? "I don't like that there's not a bathroom downstairs. Oh the backyard is kind of on a slight hill." Forget that it has an additional bedroom and is far more spacious in both the living room and kitchen. The backyard could be better so let me shit on it.

Example three: We moved yet again (long irrelevant story as to why) into a house better than the previous two. We had a garage for a change, got an end unit, nice quiet part of the neighborhood, etc. "Oh it could be closer to the park. Oh I wish the living room were bigger." The fucked up thing is, they moved into the same housing units months later and suddenly it was wonderful and so much better than where we all lived previously. And theirs was so nice because it was right next to the park, blah blah. So part of me smiled inside when the inevitable happened. All the neighborhood kids started using her front yard as a shortcut to the park.

And I know that she had always had a negative view of my marriage, which eventually ended, but on decent terms. My ex-wife and I are still friends, she still trusts me more than her own family and would still like to be married, which she makes no secret of to anyone. But one day, at their house we are all (ex-wife included) just having a light-hearted time doing some personality quiz. We do the test for everyone, joke around about our personalities a bit, and then she HAS to throw in "Oh well it's no wonder your marriage had no chance in Hell of working". WTF? You know that she's depressed more often than not and that she'd still liked to be married and being a wife is all she really wants in life and you say that shit? Why did that have to be thrown in?I could go on about the whole ex-wife/friend's wife dynamic, it bugs me to no end. She actually had the nerve to tell my ex that she hopes she isn't trying to get back with me because "he's so happy now". I'm not trying to get back with my ex, but it's my decision either way. She has no business trying to make that decision for me.

Being how I am, I know I'll harbor it all inside and one day, I'll let it all out in a very explosive manner and hurt her damn feelings. This would of course affect my friendship with her husband who I have known 10 years and work side by side with everyday. But it's going to happen. Many of the examples I gave were minor and sound like a case of keeping up with the Joneses but that isn't so. It happens too often to put an exact number on it, and I've never felt like I've had to keep up with anyone, I think it's more her wanting people to feel inferior than anything.

Ugh. I have a friend who is somehat like that. Her and her mother used to stay with us and they would sometimes drive me UP THE WALL with that. And I rarely said anything b/c they are also the type who seem to like to argue.

My city council is bugging me right now! I am sitting here listening to the meeting that led to the death of a young man in my city. The meeting itself didn't kill this young man, but the hurtful words that came from my community, his community. I am upset to think that some of these people are my neighbors and that I voted for some to be on that council. I am upset that I am not sure how to voice my opinion and anger concerning this subject. I have never been so upset about something within my community until now.

At the risk of stepping on toes, because it happens here often...

This.Shit.Right.Here.Bugs.The.Shit.Out.Of.Me.Because.People.Don't.Know.When.To.Stop.

It's effective for phrases and maybe even a really short sentence. I think you can get away with 3-4 words, maybe 5 in some cases, before it gets ridiculous.

Example:

Good usage

This.thread.kicks.ass.

Bad usage

Oh.my.God.I.love.this.thread.it.is.my.favoritest.ever.really.

What's bugging me right now is people who leave their kids and pets in the car with the windows barely rolled down and it's 80 sumthing degrees. I don't care...that's still too hot. In the muhfuggin' car it's gotta be like 86 or 90 degrees. Why are people still doing this stupid shit? Take your kid in the fuckin' store with you and leave your pet in the car with the windows rolled down more - especially when you know you're gonna be in the store for like an hour looking at this/looking at that and aint buyin' shit.

it's close to 11pm and my kids are STILL messing around!

the weather outside is pretty stormy, so I've not heard their messing around until now, but wow, they make me MAD

a 6 year old should be asleep by 8pm!!!

frikking sharing rooms just ISN'T working around here

it hailed TWICE during the night, I thank my lucky stars that even though it was pelting on the windows on their side of the house, they didn't even wake up!

That stuff bugs me too, it gets right under my skin. I think if I saw a kid or a pet in a hot car with the windows rolled up, I would call the police or 911 and report their stupid ass. There is no excuse whatsoever for people to be doing stuff like this.

People who can't get through a normal conversation without interrupting it several times to use their stupid phone with internet connection to "fact-check" things the other person says.
