There was a Seinfeld episode where they replaced saying "bless you" with "you're sooo good looking" ... I say that quite often and get the oddest looks...
which reminds me...people that are hypocrits and people that tell those "you had to be there stories"
...thats kinda annoying too...
oh wait I do this
...oh well i guess we are all hypocrits

does this mean I annoy myself?

1. Bad spelling.
2. Bad grammar.
3. Lack of punctuation, which causes what would be a ten sentence post to become a huge run-on paragraph. It takes so much work to read and decipher it that it is really not worth the work involved in reading it.
4. When I hold a door open for someone and they walk right on through without even looking at you or saying, "Thank you." Even worse are the ones who give you a crappy look like you are nuts for holding open the door and then walk through without saying anything. I always loudly say, "You're welcome," when someone does that. It beats letting the door fall shut on their ungrateful butt.
5. People who fly by you in traffic, don't use a signal to get over, cut you off and then cross three lanes of traffic to execute a turn.
6. People who interrupt.
7. People who ask a question and then don't listen to your answer, and then proceed to rattle on about themselves (I have a co-worker who does this CONSTANTLY.) Then a day or so later they ask you the same question.
8. People who immigrate to America and then go through life without ever learning a word of English.
9. People who mistreat animals.
10. People who treat animals as a disposible accessory. A pet is a lifetime commitment, and just because the dog (cat, or whatever) misbehaved when you didn't train it, doesn't make it a bad animal. If the animal is misbehaving, chances are it isn't getting the attention it needs to learn correct behavior.
11. People who buy "designer dogs." A Labradoodle or a Puggle is nothing more than a mixed breed that can be found at your local pound, and they cost a hell of a lot less there. It's not some exotic breed that was developed with special traits in mind, as the back-yard-breeders would have you think. It's a grossly overpriced mutt.

I have a friend that does this all the time!!! He will ask a question and then 2 or 3 words into my reply he will interupt to answer his own question, ask a new one or say something completely random...And then ask me the same question later on in the same conversation.
And he wonders why I dont have much to say to him...

Have you ever gotten the "Exactly" treatment from him?? I've known people who ask a question and then when you answer it, they'll say "EXAAAAACTLY!!" (usually while pointing at you) and use it as an opportunity to start talking about themselves. Arrrrrghhhhhhh!

LOL...All the time!!! It's kind of funny because he is completely self obsorbed around his closest friends (like me), and polite around most other people...

OMG my husband's step-mother does this every darn time we talk to her. She came from Canada and she just goes onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn about how much better Canada is than the US, and how everything in Canada is better than here. I agree that Canada is probably quite nice, but we always want to ask her, okay, so, why did you move *away* from Canada to the US?? :notsure:

Most people study and read a lot about these fish to keep them. It isn't that tough to learn the names percula clown and blue tang. Just a pet peeve of mine.

What about clownfish and hippo tang? Does that bother you as well??
Both are only nicknames, just as nemo and dory are.
I insist that all here start saying amphiprion ocellaris and paracanthurus hepatus!!! :mad:

Yes, the "nemo and dory" thing bothers me. Come on, these people are not four (chronologically at least).
Bad Drivers! If you cut me off, and then proceed to flip me off because I honk at you! Well, don't act like an idiot.
Attention All Nashville Drivers: The cellphone is not glued to your ear!! I repeat the cellphone is NOT glued to your ear! Hang up and drive or use hands free like the rest of the world.
I hate using public restrooms but sometimes it is unavoidable. Previous users please flush/plunge your excretions. I have yet to find out how a woman is able to pee on the toilet seat, but it never fails that when I go into a womens public restroom there is pee ON the seat.
If you borrow something, please return it. (to all my mooching neighbors)
Last but not least, I can't stand people who only call/visit when they want/need something.
Thanks for the venting!!
I feel better!
