Skyrad 0 #1 February 4, 2004 No not rats with pink eyes......What little things that proberbly shouldn't but really do wind you up? Mine? 1) People on the bus popping gum and chewing louadly. 2) One woman taking one kid to school in a SUV/Landcruiser in London. 3) Recent graduates that went on a Gap year to Thailand, followed eachother around getting stoned and now know ebverything there is to know about everything! 4) Drivers that don't say thanks when you let them out. 5) Bus drivers who think they're doing you a favour by giving you a lift. 6) Speed bumps 7) 5p coins the size of a shirt button Whats yours?When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Too much big money around here. our tuition just went up 15% this year, (now about $145 per credit hour, min 13 credit hours a semester) because of our shortage of Funds - well, the Alumni just built a 12-foot solid bronze wildcat in their reception hall. We are a very alumni-centered university.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beowulf 1 #14 February 4, 2004 Salesmen that try to sell me some thing that I clearly don't want. If I want it I will ask for it. I don't need salesmen to tell me what I want or need. Salesmen in the mall that grab my arm thinking that is a good idea! They find out really quickly that I really hate them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheenster303 0 #19 February 4, 2004 People who perform a "Mexican Roadblock" on the road. I hate those! But I am the first to admit if someone tries to pass me and I'm already going 15 over the speed limit then I sure as hell will mexican roadblock those sons of bitches. Tailgaters. Unless your Brad Pitt, stay off my ass! I especially hate road rage. Can't we all just get along? (Someone please tell me you see the irony in this post )I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Rebecca 0 #20 February 4, 2004 I can't believe this just happened. Actually, I can, 'cause I kinda 'sensed' it would. Before I get to my oh-so-thrilling-story, have any of you developed a sixth-sense sorta thing on the road, to where you can just tell what the people around you are about to do (with no other indication?) Well, I have this ability, along with a very healthy, active, carefully cultivated and righteous road-rage. (A personal flaw I intend to work on, it's just people are so stupid...) Anyway, on my lunch break just now, I was the first car at a light, in the right of two lanes on a one-way street. The left lane must turn left. The right may turn either way or go straight. I wanted to turn left, and indicated this with my handy blinker. The light turned green, so I gave a nice, wide arc, staying in my lane, and wouldn't you know it, the dumb bitch next to me also gives a nice, wide arc, swinging her fat suburban ass right into my lane, nearly hitting me. The fact that I saw it coming before the light ever changed helped me avoid that, but also just made me angrier. I expressed this ire using international sign language, and I tried to pull up on her left to make sure I was communicating effectively. She was already into a right turn, so I didn't catch her eye. But I did see her carefully manicured middle finger return my message. When people think I'M the asshole for getting upset at THEIR mistake, I get homocidal. I seriously wanted to follow her and rip every one of those pretty little nails out with pliers. Still do... Which brings me to another peeve: while I respect stay-at-home moms and retired folk, why must they jump in their cars and add to rush hour? Huh? There are enough of us trying to get to and from the office as it is - I don't need every Houston housefrau and blue-hair getting in my way. If I were retired or lucky enough to stay home with my kids, I sure as hell wouldn't even dream of wedging my Expedition into 5:00 traffic. Man, do I have anger-management issues. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
