Things that annoy me today
Nov. 4th, 2004 01:43 pmI'm a little irratable today.......all kinds of things are getting on my nerves....things like
-when the seam in my stockings is rubbing under my toenail. So long to that nice pedi.
-when one of my co-workers heats up Dinty Moore Beef Stew at 10:00. I haven't even finished my tea. *barf*
-when the only dog paw that I don't wipe off is the one with mud on it
-when people make stupid small talk in the elevator
-when people have user names that are "so and so's wife/sweetie/mommy" get your own identity
-when people call and launch into a HUGE conversation without bothering to ask if you can talk. But then again, my bad for answering the phone when I'm running off to lunch/the gym/a meeting/the bathroom.
-one line reply emails, i.e. "you're welcome" save it for IM.
-people who don't appreciate other's viewpoint. If they don't share the same opinion, they're "wrong!"
-pencils that have a lot of 'pencil' but no eraser
-people that don't delete all of the "FWD" and >'s when forwarding messages. I don't want to scroll through 3 pages of "please read," "funny!!" or "FYI". Just add your own comment, then forward it.
-crochtety old farts who start "converstaions" by stating the obvious, i.e. "Well, another day." "So, Bush won." "Well, its lunchtime!" Thanks for the breaking news
-when not only the Brita is empty, but the 'refill' bottles to fill the Brita are empty.
-when I just ate lunch, drank a big glass of water, and I'm STILL hungry. Do I have a tapeworm?!?!

YES!
The dog paw happened to me this morning. I noticed just as she jumped on the sofa. ARGH!
The pencil thing is also a pet peeve of mine. I want a mechanical pencil with enough eraser to be useful after the first week, please!
