What are your pet peeves?

[Prudence]

Not a lot of desk space for a lamp, but since I'm in charge of the financials that's what's going to happen if the power trip keeps up.

And risk management? HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think we're suppose to be grateful they let us use electricity at all.

Wait a minute...

She knows you are there and STILL turns the lights off?!? I just assumed that she thought no-one was around and was trying to save electricity. What a freakin' bee-ach!

Not that I have heard of. I just deal with it. Luckily this is the frist full-blown infection since I was enlightened by flax seed oil pills.

I just thought of another pet peeve. I hate people who wear shirts featuring a band, yet they don't even like the band.

If I went up to every girl I saw wearing a Rolling Stones shirt and asked what her favorite song was, I bet most wouldn't even have an answer. Most I have asked don't at least.

If I'm going to wear a shirt featuring a band or movie, I make sure I like the band/movie. I love the Beatles, I have a Beatles shirt, I love Van Halen, I have a Van Halen shirt.

Let fans be fans, don't make me look like some teenager who's clueless to classic/better music.

If people could just open the top of the carton like we used to as kids, then they wouldn't need to use all that plastic to make the cap and the inner seal.
Right?



I hate all these new products that are coming out that are disposable. Disposable toilet bowl brushes, disposable mops, disposable dust rags. So much waste. If you have a good toilet brush use it. You shouldn't have to buy something over and over again. One toilet brush is plenty. Get a hardy mop, it'll last you forever. Get an old shirt and use it as a rag.

Same with vacuum cleaner bags. Get a vacuum that doesn't need a new bag when it's full. Get a freakin' bagless vacuum cleaner.

A pet peeve involving my own idiocy: I hate it when I prepare for coffee -- measure and grind the beans, place filter in basket, turn on warmer, pour water, put ground beans in filtered basket, insert basket into slot in brewer, then walk away...without turning coffee maker ON!!

I do this twice a week at mimimum.

It sounds like you ought to have a cup of coffee first.

I did this once with a crockpot meal. Came home and it was pretty gross.

Seriously though, you should call them. I had a coworker give them a call when she got some bad carpal tunnel and they did come in and help change things a bit for us. I think they usually don't know what's going on, but when they're called they do their job.

Not here. They've already paid out on my L&I carpal claim and nothing changed. I guess I don't have much faith in them.
