Thick rimmed "yuppie" glasses... (they think they look cool/yuppie instead of like poddy dorks.




Good one. They usually have a pompous attitude to match, too. Like they're better than others because they wear fugly plastic glasses.


Hey my glasses are just like these- :P actually I try not to wear them but my eyesight sucks at work!

I rest my case. :icon_lol:

Why, whatever do you mean?  :angel:
It seems it has become necessary to qualify my posts:

check mister in hte last post wins thread in tf. there was a quote fest going on for a while. so technically no one won cause no one wrote anything. it was all smilies speaking of glasses got these for 16 dollars from coastal ( saved almost a hundred lol)
not quite as dorky as the thick plastic ones shown above
but it allows me to read the posters across the building ( 45 feet away) and look over top and see close up.
p.s.  whats annoying peoples children ill behaved and breaking wind, im showing a thousand dollar ring to someone and their child ill behaved and farted, i cannot leave ( because of the ring) so im forced to listen to the childs incessant bitching and smell the broken wind after making the sale. i said,( to self) jeez someone farted,  then said an SBD too. if theyre going to fart, at least make it audible like this ( then i let one go) bitchy child laughs and said i can do better, he tries but shits himself lol

Oh I have one ... yea just 1 ...

People who murder the english language ...

"Could of" instead of "could have" I told someone I wish I "could off" him. Haven't heard from him since.

Cool.

Depending on regional accents, the contracted version of could have (i.e., could've) is pronounced as or sounds like could of.

Back on topic:
Prospective employers who do any of the following:

  • Fail to notify the applicant (me) that they've received my materials. Really, is it so difficult to send a form email saying "hey, we got your resume"?
  • Not following up with the applicant post interview regarding the position after the applicant contacts the prospective employer regarding the status of said position.

Ice makers that make those crescent shaped things that match the inside curvature of a drinking vessel, resulting in a dam-like structure of ice preventing one from consuming said beverage in said vessel without it all suddenly dumping all over your face.

agreed. at let them know 1, whether they got the job or not, if not, why they didn't.
another peeve , i tell someone im going to do something. i DO it, if i cannot, i have the courtesy of getting in contact with that person explaining why i cannot or why it would be delayed. i dislike those that drop off the face of the earth after comitting to something

I've got to add:

P Platers in utes and 4x4s. They seem to lack understanding on how to safely make these vehicles move forward.

People with one headlight out on their car and so drive around with the other on high beam.

Professional drivers just being out and out bully drivers. Heard of indicators or looking you muppet?

My Co-workers.

or dont put so much ice in cup Eh?, if it dams it up, find out whats stopping flow instead of turning it up. course if said drink involves alcohol. people dont usually stop and think about it. i rarely drink anymore, but when i do, i never use a straw. for some reason ( using same amout of alcohol) i tend to get far more intoxicated than sipping

That's cause you drink faster when you use a straw.

People that start up chain saws, concrete cutters, jackhammers, etc., right next to your smoko room when you just start smoko.

That's my ba.........I mean fault.

I bought a motorcycle off a guy a couple years ago, and every other sentence ended with "and all that jazz." The same guy tried to convince me the motor was junk "and all that jazz", but the rest of the bike was complete "and all that jazz". I could take it for a spin around the block if I wanted to, but he forgot to mention EVERY bolt was only hand tight! Handle bar clamps, foot peg mount, even the motor mounts! And all that jazz.

I also hate it when my boss asks when "we" are going to do something work related. Well sir, "I" am going to do that as soon as possible, but if you plan on helping I have an extra set of gloves you can borrow.........

When a person higher up the work pecking order (eg, Supervisors) wants something done. Instead of saying, for example, "would you take out the trash" they say "Do you want to take out the trash." Turning a work instruction into a question which signifies I have a choice and which mentally garners an answer of "No". The result is, the work is carried out but now it is done so begrudgingly.

People who pull out into fast moving dense traffic and seem unable to find the accelerator.

Single Lane Fever Sufferers. That is where they will do significantly faster on dual lane carriage ways where they feel safe but go to a single lane they get scared of the oncoming traffic and drop down to significantly under the speed limit.

Hallelujah Brother! ..  ;)

lack of merging skills is one of my main gripes during morning/afternoon rush hours ...

it should be a bloody refresher course to keep your licence! .. for so many ppl out there! .. and its on both parts of the road!....

the person merging in should know how to spot and evaluate a gap into which they can adjust speed/distance/position input!

the persons that are travelling right next to the merge lane area should be leaving some decent gaps and watching also! not wanting to be part of a freight train or think they are nascar drafting!

every morning... every damn morning i'm driving or riding to work.... the traffic slows to under 40kph for about 3kms on one section of freeway ... it goes past one particular merge lane/on ramp and back to freeway speeds... just because the mouth breathin cretins dont know how to behave around a merge lane! ...

ok i know a lot of people have a lot worse traffic and delays than i do... i'm not claiming i have it the worst ... just sayin the merge thing is possibly one of the primary congestion causes for a lot of freeway and major road situations..

and yes ... i am angelic when it comes to my own merging and leaving a gap or even changing lanes to allow safe merging ... angelic i say!  :angel:  :D

not at anyone ... but on forums in general .... lack of checking P.M's ! .... mainly when its halfway thru a exchange! ...

When I find a very interesting, addictive thread while I am browsing my usual forums before I go to bed.

Jeez, I really hate that. Why can't I find these while I'm at work!!! Damn youuu!!


These may have been said already, but heres a few of mine..


People that do not understand how to merge.

Improper use of there, their, they're, your, and you're.

People who make loud noises while chewing their food.

People who sag their pants.

99% of movies these days.

Rap/ techno/ dubstep

People who think their Macs can't get viruses and swear by it.

My boss Kurt.

And many more but I have to go to bed. I'll post more as I think of them tomorrow.
