My Pet Peeve of the day...

Useless TV channels. I have digital cable and 250+ so I expect some useless channels but the latest is The Tennis Channel. Now, I don't know about ya'll but I've got better things to do then watch Tennis from 1994!

And to keep up with the theme that this thread has had today...

Something about two men running around smacking balls and talking about love scares the hell out of me.

I have a ball-less mouse. Does that mean it's a female? Or that it's been fixed?


I hate it when you're on your break at work, and you are reading, and someone can't stand the fact that you're reading, so they do everything they can to distract you from your reading so you will talk to them instead.

"whatcha reading?" (show them the front cover)
"is it good?" (I don't know, I can't seem to concentrate on it...hint hint)
"what's it about?" (I don't KNOW! I haven't had a chance to freaking read it yet..HINT-FREAKING-HINT)
"ya have any plans this weekend?" (thank God it's time to go back to work)

yadda yadda yadda!

I had one girl that was constantly doing that at the break table. She'd strum her fingers on the table, and look around while she desperately thought up something else to "chat" with me about.

At another job, I took lunch at my desk, and read while I ate. It was inside a warehouse office, where the material handlers came in to do their paperwork and turn into me to input. After sitting there for 10 minutes blissfully by myself, one guy comes in, sits down, and just stares at me while I read. He starts into the above montage. THEN he gets all po'd at me and says, "you're just like my Mom. It really ticks me off when the only other person in the room ignores you and reads a book. If you're in the room alone, you should be sociable. HELLO KID...I was in here alone and reading. YOU are the one who came in and sat down. IF you don't like it...LEAVE!!!

I've got one! Just this morning my old, annoying retired neighbor started a chainsaw job at 6:30AM!! What the hell?!?! I guess he founded it to be of utter importance to get out there that early to cut down his pampas grass. Then, the jerk has the audacity to cut down our pampas grass!! The thing was big but we trim it (the former owners planted one on each corner of the back of the property) and I could understand if he TRIMMED it on his side but the jerk CUT it down WITHOUT asking! If he asked I would of given him the go ahead but he didn't. (I would imagine he will expect us to clean up the mess he made with our plant. That is the way he is.) The old man had about 6 pampas grass plants planted along his property line to the empty lot next to us. Yep, cut them all down and they were big. (For those of you that may not know what pampas grass is, it has grass like leaves on it and it can get up to 6' high and quite big around.)

My nervous are now shot by being awoken in an awful fashion and listening to the chainsaw continuously. My dh isn't even home. Imagine he will be ticked off. I just can't believe people have the audacity to do these things and not think of others in the neighborhood!

Tagurit, did you resolve the situation? did you speak to the neighbor or retaliate with multiple late night phone calls (with caller ID blocking, natch)?

My pet peeve of the day is highlighted by the lead photo at CNN.com. As Ross stated on Friends, "Y O U apostrophe R E means 'you are'. Y O U R means YOUR!!!!" Why do so many people not seem to know this?

The photo is of a store being boarded up in North Carolina. On the plywood board, someone has painted, "Go Away Isabel Your Driving Us Nuts".

Crazy, as soon as the neighbor saw my dh walking over, he had all these pathetic excuses. Even blamed his son. His son said his father told him to cut it down. Now at least the old man knows, we won't sit back and let him do what ever.

Also, your pet peeve is mine. I live on the coast of NC. I know what you are talking about. Also, I live next to Camp Lejeune. I can't even begin to tell you how many people spelled "heroes" wrong. I wanted to go in and show every one of them a dictionary. I saw "hero's", "heros" "heroe's". Unbelievable. I know the thought was there to say thank you to the Marines but come on!

Tagurit, according to my dictionary, it can be spelled either heroes or heros.

My peeve of the day: Repair persons! "We'll be there between 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM." Right and I've got to stay home all day hoping somebody will eventually show up. Of course you have to kind of stick around the house and phone in case they call....like in "We'll call you when we're on our way". Actually didn't hear a call once and they cancelled the appointment because "Nobody was home". I saw their voicemail with 15 minutes but it was too late "Sorry, we've already gone on to the next job." Really love the ones who call at 4:00 PM and say they'll have to reschedule until tomorrow. Of course then you have to explain to a boss why you're off two days in a row to get a washer, or whatever, repaired. Service???? What's service?!?!?! Urgh!!!!!

Mack, you have a new members folder where I've left a note for you: Mack's Folder

Draheid - Thanks for the folder. Guess after a year plus I should have gotten around to that. I did not get the email but that's probably because my old email address from Virginia is still posted. New one is rklug@sbcglobal.net.

My pet peeve today is this: You come back from lunch and co-workers are looking for something and ask for your help, then you start looking and they try to look in the same exact spot you are looking. This just happened, so I just quit looking.
