Great, are the owners pooping in your yard now too??? I really think you should get one of those motion dection sprinkler thingys now......

One of mine is when people hang paper towels and toilet paper backwards. The end should be in front where you can see it. Thats the way it was designed.

Cats and their owners that poop in my yard? No, no....I said cats that poop in my yard, and their owners.

I may have already said this but I always wanted to name a dog of mine Peeve. Then I could say, "This is my pet, Peeve."

Okay, here goes. Although I run the risk of giving ammunition to scaeagles...

1. People who talk during movies. I came to see/hear the film, not you Chatty McChattins.

2. People who slurp soup or cereal really loud. Bugs.

3. Families who walk on sidewalks side by side holding hands taking up the whole sidewalk. It makes it difficult to go around and it's hard for people going the other way.

4. People who ask too many questions of cashiers when there's a huge line behind them. If you ain't prepared, get outta line.

5. People who don't know what they want at a food or movie counter after waiting in a line forever and with a huge line continuing behind them. "I don't know what I want. Let's seee. What do you want, honey?" Urrrrrrgh.

6. People who argue with pharmacists when the problem is clearly the customer's fault or the doctor's fault.

7. People who kick my seat at the movie theatres or on airplanes.

8. Cellphones that ring crazy rings or play songs. And those cellphones that are really walkie talkies. We don't want to hear you talk and we definitely don't want to hear who's talking to you.

9. The term "The OC". I hate that. "Are you from the OC?" "No, I'm not from the Orange County, you dinglecheese."

10. The word 'prolly' bugs me whenever I see it in a post. It's weird.

11. Preachy people on the streets trying to get me to sign something. Left and right. Piss off! The other day, someone comes up to me and says, "Are you registered to vote as a Democrat?" I say yes. "Do you want to hear what the Republican leaders are up to?" I say no. "Then you like facism?" I say, "Get the hell out of my face."

12. Hypocrits. Practice what you preach. Lead with integrity. And when you fvck up, own it.

13. People who don't vote but complain.

14. Out of touch people that think they're not out of touch.

Servers that die and the 6am calls that come with them

Prolly not much there I can use, GC. I'm not even from the OC so I don't have occassion to takl about it.

mousepod · 08-11-2006, 08:47 AM

Ooooh, GC reminded me of one that is particularly Californian.

I hate hate hate being accosted to sign my name to a stupid petition (or multiple petitions) for a ballot measure every time I walk out of my friggin Safeway. Some jerk shoves a clipboard in my face with "Help stop the killing of cute puppies," or something equally facile. Once I realized that my signature was worth $1 to them, my newest tactic is to offer my signature on any petition for .50 each. Only seems fair. Nobody has taken me up on my generous offer. Yet.

scaeagles · 08-11-2006, 08:52 AM

I think it's illegal to pay for petition signatures, isn't it?

In Massachusetts, it's not illegal to fool someone into signing the wrong petition. That's how the anti-marriage equality folk did it here. They told people they were signing petitions to legalize wine sales in grocery stores etc when they were actually signing ban gay marraige petitions...
