Things that annoy me .......................

Jessie aka Maddies mate

Jessie aka Maddies mate Report 17 May 2009 22:19

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I know where my watch is pal, where the is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No , I paid 5 dollars to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dickhead?

10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? Ears,?

11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?' No it's really horendous - I always eat stuff I hate.

12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.

13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you if you don't insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering..... It has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger gets blank looks. How about I take a McStraw and McShove it down your McThroat.

14. People who ask: "Are you asleep?" Yes I was until you woke me up.

15. People who say, “I’m not going to lie..” Why would you talk to me if you are going to lie?

16. People who say, “Can I borrow a piece of paper?” when they obviously aren’t going to return the favor.

17. When someone asks you a question and you start to answer, then they say, “Wait, what? I wasn’t listening.” Why’d you ask then,?

18. When people come over your house and try to take the remote. My house, my remote.

19. When you are in a car, or listening to the radio, and people can’t choose a song.

20. When people say, “I’m so tired it’s not even funny.” Why would it be funny in the first place?

21. When people ask if they know you. Well, seeing as you don’t recognize me, no, we don’t know each other.

22. When people say, “what was I going to say?” How should I know, you were saying it.

23. When smart kids in school say they are going to fail a test or class, and they get an A. Sweet, nerd.

24. When a “new song” is playing on the radio, and it’s been out for like a year, the radio just hasn’t played it yet.

25. When people in real life use AIM lingo. LOL GES WAT? You fail at life.

26. Optimists in general.

27. When people don’t use their turn signals.

28. People who beep in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

29. When you are walking and it is crowded, and you can’t pass by someone.

30. When someone gets something planned and you get all excited then they cancel it last minute.

31. When someone asks you for the time and there are clearly three clocks in view.

33. When someone says something and realize it’s wrong and they say, “Jut kidding!” No, you weren’t, and you are making yourself look even more stupid.

Dear Jessie

What an accurate list.

The things that annoy me:

The GP/Doctor says "Its your age" when you see them about ANY medical problem.

People who queue in supermarkets and do not have their purse or credit card ready to pay at the service till.

Being told by a recorded message, "you are in a queue. Your call will be answered shortly". Like hell it will.

FInally, getting through to the hospital/council/ any service etc, speaking to real person and then being told the person you really need to speak to is on any of the following:

Annual leave
Sick leave
Away from their desk
In a meeting
Out of the office.
Not available, etc.

I will stop being grumpy.

Best wishes.

Love them all.

Mine are;
People who get to the toll booth and don't have their money ready.

When you go to the GP and they ask "How are you today" if I was good I wouldn't be there.
