The State Troopers calling to ask for money for the children of dead State Troopers.

It's even worse when they call twice in two days. (Why would I give you money today if I didn't want to yesterday?)

It's even worse when they call at 8:30 AM on a HOLIDAY.

I remember a small unexpected snow storn in, 1994 or 1995. It wasn't more than a quarter inch and there were people who abandoned their cars on I-5 and walked. The swath of stupid Washington snow drivers extends, I would say, from Everett in the north to Longview in the south. The gorge brings enough cold air to Portland/Vancouver that they get enough snow each year to provide a minimum education.

I have a policy that I never give to an organization calling on the phone. If it is something interesting, I ask for the official name and then check them out on the web, or I ask them to mail me something. Too many scammers out there.

I don't, either. I also think I will never give to an organization that ruins a holiday or a souffle.

Is there a way to file a complaint about the timing of this call? I realize that charities are supposed to be exempt from the no-call list thing, but aren't there rules about what times it's inappropriate to call?

The jerk who keeps honking his horn in the parking lot is on my pet peeves list right now.

I HATE that!

Men who drive around in their cars without a shirt on. It happens a lot in Los Angeles. I had a guy pick me up for a date like that once. Friggin' farm animals!

Personally, I don't see a problem with it if they are hot! :snap:

Ringing the Mexican doorbell?

I don't care if they're a God in man's skin clothing. Put a damn shirt on.
