Sunnyone | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 01:07 pm     Ok, I'm going to join the Telemarketer bandwagon. I did this job for a VERY short time, and tried my best to be polite and shut-up (and hang-up) when the party wasn't interested. (maybe this is why i didn't last? LOL) ANYWAY...when I was going to nursing school, I also worked nights. One day, I was awakened by a telephone call telling me how lucky I was to have won this FANTASTIC vacation. I politely told them I wasn't interested. They decided otherwise. Continued to tell me all the perks of this fantastic vacation package and how "little" it would cost me. I again said I wasn't interested (yes, I should have hung up, but alas, I didn't) Her reply? "You mean to tell me you don't need a vacation? EVERYONE needs a vacation!!" Finally, after my niceness wore off, I bit. "Yes, this DOES sound fantastic! You were right! So, all I need from you is: someone to go to my classes, make sure I don't miss anything important and still be able to pass *and* somehow let ME gain the knowledge I missed while on your wonderful excursion. I also need someone who can go to my job, make sure I don't miss any time/hours/money and get all my bills paid on time since I won't be able to as I will be on my vacation to...where again?" They hung up...(I do have another telemarketer story but I'll save you the details...sorry for the long post!!) |
Weinermr | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 01:51 pm     What's a <>? |
Hippyt | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Today I hate electrical cords. They are everywhere,I hate them. |
Kady | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 03:35 pm     So somebody must think I'm a guy with a small <> who's broke. Watch out Fanny, if thats what they think about you, you will soon be loaded down with the 'Are you lonely' & 'Hot Chick Lookin for you' e-mails.  |
Nancy | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 04:23 pm     LOL I get those emails too fanny--and now i get ones that say 'beverly, do you want xxxx"(or whatever) umm beverly is the city i live in i don't think the city wants anything LOL LOL |
Sia | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 06:27 pm     pet peeve: getting on-line to research something, reading my e-mail and catching up on threads at TVCH, then disconnecting from the 'net--only to realize that I've gotten so involved that I forgot to do my "research!!"  |
Fanny | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 08:35 pm     LOL I can't believe that when I said <> it got moderated! I even used * and didn't spell it out! Weinermr, you'll have to use your imagination (or your screen name would do, too).

Weinermr | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Rats! I thought you would tell me!  |
Tess | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 09:53 pm     Fanny, you said weiner and got modded? Well I never! |
Fanny | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 11:22 pm     Yes, Tess, I did say weiner. Pretty much. |
Sawheel17 | Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 11:38 pm     ROFLMAO, Fanny join the club. Check out the Survivor thread on ROB. |
Weinermr | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 12:00 am     I say Weiner every day, and I never get modded. Well, only sometimes.  |
Fanny | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 12:23 am     But you say "weinermr", not "weiner", don't you? That might be the difference. You know, come to think of it my Tivo records programs it believes I would like and lately it's been recording crap like Boxing, Bullfighting, and Most Dangerous Car Chases. Between my computer and my Tivo, I'm starting to get a friggin identity crisis! Technology! There's my pet peeve! |
Tess | Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 12:40 am     Hahahhahahhaha, Fanny. Sorry, I know this is a very serious matter, but Bullfighting and Most Dangerous Car Chases? hahahahhaa. <goes off to bed wondering what fanny had to tell her tivo to make it think of recording those! hey! I didn't know tivos could think. scary.> nite, nite, fanny.  |
Bandit | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 08:32 am     <singing> "My hot dog has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R..." I felt all this talk about weiners deserved a song. |
Rissa | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 11:31 am     I have a major pet peeve!!!! Spouses who know their partners have NOOOOO taste yet allow them to decorate their homes. LOLOL I am in the middle of painting YET ANOTHER BATHROOM because of this!! We bought this home last year.. beautifull house, custom built, great layout, etc. Guy who built it then divorced wife #2 and let wife #3 repaint {sigh}. We know this because the neighbors couldn't wait to fill us in on the gossip. Anyway, this woman did the most bizarre thing. She painted three walls in EVERY SINGLE ROOM beige and then the fourth wall bright PURPLE!!!!! In EVERY SINGLE ROOM!!!!! Plus all three bathrooms are solid purple! And I don't mean "is it black, is it blue, no... it's eggplant" type of purple, I mean Barney the Dinosaur crayon purple. RFLOL What in the world would inspire anyone to do such a thing? Especially since this is a country setting, country home and she decorated with old rustic farm style. {sigh}. This is what comes from watching too many Trading Spaces reruns. LOL Hildi would be so proud. So for the last year, whenever I get a couple days to devote to painting, I have been. I don't want to repaint the entire house and don't want to try to match the beige on the three walls, so I have been just repainting the fourth wall in every room. Mostly with a much darker beige or olivey brown shade. I am just now finishing the 2nd coat on the last bathroom. {sigh}. Next up is my office and then last will be our dining room. {sigh} Enough sighing? {sigh} Hope this woman's next husband (this guy has moved on to #4 now) knows enough to keep her away from Benjamin Moore. LOL |
Tabbyking | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 12:19 pm     if you say 'pen is' as in 'the pen is mightier than the sword', they would probably accept it! lol |
Sia | Monday, March 31, 2003 - 12:46 pm     Today's pet peeve is something I can't control: the weather is fluctuating wildly lately. We had strange clumpy snow last evening, but it's been mild and warm/sunny in the last week or so. I am waiting patiently for real spring weather. |
Bandit | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:24 am     Why can't people let you merge on the freeway? It's like they think "Heaven forbid this person get to where they're going before me." So, you speed up and they do. You slow down and they do. Then the lanes merge and they're trying to run you off the road. And it's usually idiot guys in their stupid F-450s and Ram 1500s. Sorry. I'm bitter this morning. And my apologies to you guys out there that have stupid F-450s and Ram 1500s. |
Fluff | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:31 am      |
Kstme | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 09:13 am     My pet peeve is that I don't have a pet peeve this morning! |
Denecee | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 02:50 pm     My pet peeve is major today. It's people who have kids but don't take care of them. Last night's paper had an article about the mailperson finding two little girls(ages 2 & 4)with no clothes on, wandering the street alone at 7pm. The police said the mother reported them missing at 7:24 pm and that they had wandered 20 blocks from their house. (They had to have been gone at least an hour.) The police officer said he had to try hard not to vomit when he went into their house as it smelled of feces & pee. Dirty diapers and feces smeared on the bedroom walls. Two twin babies were also in the resident. Custody was given to family members. |
Bandit | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 03:17 pm     Gosh, that's awful. I hate hearing about stuff like that. I think parents that treat their children like that should have their reproductive organs ripped out (or off) of them. |
