Redstar, in our family, that's referred to as "The Murray Goodbye."

How about when you are trying to leave someone's home, and they just keep talking and talking and talking. All the while, you keep trying to edge closer and closer to the door. It took me nearly an hour to leave a friend's home like that a couple of years ago!

My pet peeve for today: People who take the elevator to go only one floor. I work on a high floor, so the elevator is almost always packed and I am almost always one of the last people to get off. It drives me nuts when the elevator stops on 31 and somebody squeezes in, only to get off on 32. Take the stairs!!! Exercise is good for you!

It was especially ironic today because the woman that got on was immediately talking to her friend who was already on and said that she didn't make it to the gym this morning, and she feels bad for missing out on her exercise.

My bf's best friend has a tendency to bring his girlfriend along when he comes over to do work on his bike or what I like to call "guy time"... I have nothing in common with his girlfriend, and he doesn't give us any warning that she's coming - I consider it a dropin, and it drives me nutty!!!

we solved the problem of guests overstaying their welcome.

one evening at 9:30 jack, our jack russel terror, looked straight at this couple we had over for dinner, and gave them a couple of sharp barks. They asked us why was he barking and dw said it is his bedtime and he wants you to go home. so, they up & left.

it always happens this way with people he doesn't especially like and we are very appreciative.

My pet peeve is seeing people treat cashiers and waiters/waitresses rudely. Oh how I hate that. I used to be a cashier and I HATED it when people would throw their money down on the counter for me to pick it up. A couple times I just looked at the money and looked back at them until they figured it out and handed me the money. I'm always sure to say "thank you" to waiters and waitresses and cashiers and I've trained my husband to do the same.

Sorry Crazy - but I hate stairs due to a childhood issue. I will continue to go up and down even if it's only one floor. = )

Old ladies twenty years older than me (and that would put them in their 70's) who pass me when I am out walking. I mean, I am moderately fit and I have long legs, and I walk about 4 miles an hour, and it just unreasonably peeves me off to have some granny go breezing by me. Especially on a hill.

Speaking of elevators, it really annoys me when I get on one with another person and they announce their floor, expecting ME to push THEIR button for them....uh, is the word "Otis" stamped on my forehead? Are your fingers broken? I didn't think so, so do it your damned self!!

There are times where I am swamped with stuff in my hands, or the elevator is crowded....I still push my own button thank you very much, so you need to do the same!!

SBG grumpy today 'cause there is no lunch

Otis? is that a common elevator operator name? I thought he was a town drunk in Mayberry?

Hipp, most of the ones I have seen has Otis stamped on the bottom of the elevator....actually, they are on escalators, too.

Pretty damned pathetic that I knew the above information

ARGHHHH!! THOSE SONSOFYOUKNOWTHEREST!!

Okay, so I mailed a frickin' electric bill two weeks ago....the sucker never cleared. I recently called the company inquiring about why it had taken so long to clear, so they gave me a 15 day hold on the check, which meant that I could resend another one if the current one didn't clear within that time.

So I get a check from a friend and have so far not put it into my checking account. Yesterday I went to Target and charged for a few things (going against the electric bill money with the intention to put the other check in today). So what happens? The futhermucking electric check cleared yesterday!! Those futhermuckers!! LAWD, WHY, WHYYYYY!!

(Hissy fit over) So now my account is overdrawn....I had to call the bank and straighten that out, plus I have to haul ass after work and put my friend's check into my account. My rant is MY ELECTRIC COMPANY SUCKS!! They ALWAYS clear my checks as soon as they get them, but naturally, they take their turtle slow time to clear this one....UNTIL I FOCKING DECIDE TO TAKE FUNDS OUT OF THE ACCOUNT!!

SBG spewing rant on an empty stomach, tugging at her hair, DARING ANY CO-WORKER TO COME UP TO HER WITH SOME SHIZZLE!!
