You know what really annoys me?  Trying to find a job.  I hear
'over-qualified' and 'need more work experience' from the same company, over
and over again.  And my stupid boyfriend keeps joking about me being to lazy
to find a job, when I look and ask and look more, and he doesn't even do
dishes. Which leads me to another annoyance... Doing all the dishes for my
boyfriend, and his jack*** friend (who cheated on my best friend, and then
blamed me and said I planted the used condoms buried in his bathroom
*shudder* waste basket!) AND I have to wash all of my boyfriend's clothes...
and he calls me lazy.

Todd,
 
Just got some snow in the area last night and had to deal with a 1.5 hour ride home from work.  Usually takes 45 minutes or so.  Similar situation this morning.  I'm driving a light compact RWD pickup truck, which is probably one of the sketchiest vehicles to drive in crap weather.  How is it that I can drive at least the speed limit, and every other vehicle on the road has to go 10-15mph under?  These people need to figure out what the F*** their car is car is capable of doing!!  And with the $50-60,000 SUV that cost so much mon-ay.....I've driven 4 wheel drives in Sh** weather.  They stick to the pavement like F**king glue!!  If I had one I would drive home smoking a cigarette, talking on the cell phone while driving with my knee. And I don't even smoke. The mirrors on those things should be big enough to notice that they need to get the F*** out of the way....and YES, it CAN handle the lane switch!
 
I'm not saying that I drive like a saint all the time or drive like an ass all the time......but I know what I'm doing and don't freak the F*** out when the road is wet. WTF.

Comcast.  Ugh.  This might not play to the younger OT fans but, here goes.  I go to Best Buy to get a new TV set for Christmas, since the one its replacing still has a dial tuner on it.  They're having a mega-sale on smaller LCD HDTVs, like 27".  There is also a promotion of $100. off the sale price if you sign up for Comcast HDTV service.  I already have Comcast HDTV in my house on the "good" TV, so I can't take advantage of the price break.  Oh well.  I buy the set - nice, great deal anyway.  Make everyone happy for Christmas. :-)  I set it up and call Comcast to come and replace the cable box with a high def cable box.  "Oh, no, we see from your records that you already have a high def box in the house.  We're sorry, but because of our limited supply of HDTV cable boxes, we can only put them into houses that don't already have HDTV."  Huh??  You're promoting this offer in one of the country's biggest electronic superstores and you didn't plan for enough boxes????  So I ask -- when do you expect to have enough boxes to go around?  "Earliest -- end of January".  Ok (grrr), there goes the Christmas surprise, or at least part of it.  "BUT" they say...(isn't there always)...."if you replace your existing high def box with a DVR box, we can install that tomorrow, and move your existing high def box to the new TV!"  Oh, sure, and how much will that set me back?  "A one-time $26. installation fee and $20. per month extra for the DVR service."  Gotcha!!    The bastards.  Yeah, I did it....shame on me.

Hey tOdd,
 
  Here's something that annoys me, but it's also funny so it's kinda...umm...funny and annoying, but...not...FORGET IT! Anyway, something that annoys me are arguments that happen because of a lack of communication. I'll simplify. I've seen arguments go on for hours on end, then end like so:
 
Guy1- No, you can't do it THAT way! THAT way's not right!
Guy2- I keep telling you, damn it, that...wait, did you say THAT way?
Guy1- Yeah.
Guy2- Oh! I thought you were talking about THIS way! OK, so, yeah I totally agree with you. THAT way sucks.
 
You see!? That entire argument was for nothing! So a word of advice, if your gonna argue, make sure you know what your arguing about.

PS- I also am annoyed by people who send e-mails with typos. Maybe it's because I'm a neat freak, but when I'm reading something and see that letters aren't what they should be, it's like something flicks me in the back of the head. It's a little annoying. I understand that there are exceptions to this, maybe people are just at work or in a situation where they can't go through the editing process, buy if you've got nothing better to do with your day, take the time to make it a little neater for the reader.

Hey tOdd,
 
 Here's something that annoys me. I just started high school at a public school, but my middle school was way harder because it wasn't a public school. It was this dinky, old Catholic school that went from kindergarten to 8th grade. I came in at 6th and I have to say my class was known as the most immature class in the school. We wore it like a badge! So after I leave, I still keep in touch with my friends. One of my friends, George, was still in 7th grade when I left and my aunt works there. Today I just found out that 2nd through 8th grade is going on a field trip to go see the Narnia movie! The Narnia movie!!! WTF!!?? Our field trips sucked! We couldn't afford buses, we had to have chaperone's, and we payed for half the expenses. They weren't even fun to go on! Now, they get all the buses they need, free popcorn and drinks, they rented an entire theater, and no chaperone's! I know what this is. It's a "the class of '05 is gone, yay!" party! That's exactly what it is! IT'S A CONSPIRACY OF THE HIGHEST LEVEL AND THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!!! Now I have to call my friends and spread the word!
