    1) People who are obsessed with brand names. Especially some people I know who won't deign to step foot in a "regular" store with me, but will actually stand outside while I shop there. The type who have to insert the brand name of whatever clothing you compliment them on. The type who always have the latest designer labels on their backs, but every single month their utilities are scheduled to be disconnected at the end of the day. Said people will also have feverish debates among themselves over whether the new bag I just bought is real or fake, and if it's real, how *I* can possibly afford it. YES, the bag is real, and I had to save up my money over time for the splurge (very occasional splurge, that is).

    If you prefer designer items, that's your perogative, but realize that a) a lot of folks genuinely don't give a shit, and b) just because those folks don't give a shit doesn't mean they have a problem. It's possible that they like you regardless of what you're wearing or driving.

    2) People who just can't understand why you want to go to college and get a degree.

    3) People who have to do whatever everybody else is doing, whether it's their circle of peers or just everybody else around them.

    4) People who can't do anything by themselves, and consider you a freak because you can.

    5) Women who can't do anything without a man, and consider you a freak because you travel solo, leave the house after dark to run errands, perform your own household repairs, operate a grill, go to movies and restaurants solo, etc.

    6) Call me prudish, but I've always hated sex talk on the job. A little occasional raunch is okay, but a major pet peeve of mine is when some turn every single subject back onto sex. I have an coworker who is constantly regaling me with her many sexcapades. I'm not that close with her. To date, I haven't thought of a polite way to curb her prattle about her many sexual conquests. Some "experiences" need to stay in the bedroom.

    Can you tell I find my coworkers profoundly irritating?

    Having a doctor's appointment and you have to wait an hour to see him. Our time isn't important I guess. I know the doctor has to take the time with the patients, but why do they overschedule so tightly? I've gone up to the counter and told them I have another appointment in 20 minutes, (only if I really do) so "I had better get in in the next 5 minutes or I'm leaving", and I will NOT pay for a missed appointment. Usually I get right in.

    People who feel they have the right to make unsolicited criticisms of my appearance.

    eg. you should cut your hair; you should wear makeup more often; have you put on a couple of pounds; you're getting too thin

    BITE ME!!!

    Oh and when I see guys walk around with the phone ear piece hanging from their ear when they arent even on the phone! Guys, you dont look like your in the FBI, you look stupid.

    LOL Exactly - It really makes me laugh when I see people walking around the supermarket wearing one of those - like they cant possibly take they hands off the trolley and answer the phone and stop shopping ( even if they get a call that is )

    Arrggh that reminds me of one time - I had an appointment and arrived a bit early. I was kept sitting there for half and hour before they decided to tell me, sorry there has been a mistake, the doctor your appointment is with is working at a different office today !!!! So 1) the letter they sent me had the wrong address on and then 2) they didnt bother to tell me for half and hour. I was fuming because if they had told me when I arrived I could have made it over to the other office in time.

    Personally I dont understand the toilet seat thing - if its up just put it down, if its down put it up, doesn't bother me !

    I hate it when someone uses the last of the milk or something or just leaves one drop in and puts the empty carton back in the fridge !!!

    I hate it when drivers think its cool to accelerate and a rediculous speed and screech the tyres as they pull away - only to have to slam the breaks on at the end of the road ! - I espeically hate it when they do it near the school at picking up time - inconsiderate & dangerous ***hole drivers make me sick - seem like it will take something tragic to make them think

    People who use cell phones during a movie -- unless you are an organ transplant recipient and waiting for "the call" please turn them off.

    People who kick the back of my chair during the movie -- arggghh!

    People who discuss loudly their lastest bowel reconstructive surgery (or anything else gross) at a restuarant or public place -- I should have to pay to hear some of this crap!

    People who do not say "thank you" when you hold the door for them, like I am Bentley from "The Jefferson's" -- This lady looked scared and confused when I yelled out "You're Welcome!!" That'll teach her!

    People who are reeeeallly pushing the "10 items or less" feature at grocery stores.

    People who try to steal my parking space that I had been waiting on for 5 minutes!

    People who make more money than me and are as dumb as a box of rocks!

    OK thats all for now! LOL ....In the immortal words of a great "American"...I'll be back!
