Invariably, when I get my hair cut, someone asks, "Did you get your hair cut?"

I reply "Yes."

Then they ask, "Did you get ALL of them cut?"

That was funny the first time I heard it - back in the 5th grade. On second thought, it wasn't funny then, nor was it funny the 5,000,000 times I have heard it since then.

Oh female nether gates of sacred creation, does thou really require half a roll to cleanse thyself?

I wear a company shirt and jacket....drive a company truck....all decaled up. Can't stand it when people see me coming out of my truck and ask me..."do you work for "*****" Sometimes I just say..."No, I just really like the clothes".

Back to people who make too much noise.

They stand (or sit) outside to talk on their phones. Yak Yak Yak Yak Yak.......and I'm sorry ladies but it's always a woman doing this. VERY annoying because I'm usually doing gardening which is a very mellow activity - as long as "someone" is not YAKKING constantly in the background - 3 doors down even!

You'd think they could still lower their voice a tad while out in public!

Add the talking on the phone while driving. Who is around to enforce the distracted drivers' laws? The cops could make a fortune out of these violators plus those who run stop signs..... unbelievable.:eek:

Just tell them you did, It was the one growing out of the tip of your nose. Then tell them they to ought to do it.

"Horrific"
.
I think it's horrific that this word is overused.

People who whistle a 'tune' loudly. I am sure in their mind, their ability to hold a tune is spot on, and on par with a concert flutist, but to my ears, it sounds horrific, in the truest sense of the word. ;)

I solved that problem by keeping the house well-stocked with the large Scott rolls. One roll sometimes lasts up to a week. Maybe too much info, sorry.

Feminine Perfume:

In small quantities is ok. Some may say attractive.

In large doses is not ok. Some may say offensive.

In large doses in confined spaces should be outlawed under the Geneva Convention...

In my book, there are three ways to wear perfume --

A whisper: one has to lean in close to a woman to smell the perfume.

A statement: one can smell the perfume as a woman passes by

An announcement: one can still smell the strong perfume in an elevator 5 minutes after the person wearing perfume was in the elevator.

Signal lights. Is their use illegal in some areas?

I just returned from a driving trip to Ontario and Quebec, via highways 20, 30 and the 401. On the multi lane highways, it was easier to tell what folks were going to do by the drift of their cars than by their use of signals, as only about 1 in 5 drivers used the things. The exception being truck drivers. Their usage of signals was almost universal.

It seemed interesting too, to note that in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the posted speed limits were 110 kph and the usual speed seemed to be about 115. In Quebec and Ontario, the posted speed was 100 kph and the usual speed was, you guessed it, 115. However, the OPP and QPP weren't even looking at you unless you were going faster than that.

West of Kitchener-Waterloo, in a mixed bag of sun and snow squalls, I witnessed a rectal orifice in a 3 series come by me at what I would guess to be something just above 160KPH in the left lane, jump over two lanes to the extreme right, pass a couple of tractor-trailer rigs on the right, going up a hill and blast on up the road. I must admit, I was waiting for the leading rig to move right to let the other truck by on the hill, but he was watching his mirrors and Bimmer Guy got away with the manoeuvre. Of course he was saving his signal lights for something better.

I'm very happy to live in sleepy ol' Nova Scotia.

What about signs that state gas next exit. So you get off & there is no gas to be found. Yeah maybe friggin' 5 miles down the road. Gas should be no more than .5 miles from the exit for them to be able to say, gas next exit GRRRRR

Oh man that steams me too.


Commercials for Japanese cars that have a British voice over.

All too often when someone is killed, we hear something like, "...at least he went out doing what he loved."
Well, I guarantee the person didn't "love" their last few moments of life.
When I hear someone say that, I always think, "How about we see how much you love those same last few moments."

How about those crosses on the side of roads were someone was killed? Ummm... folks, that's why God created cemeteries.

People that take 9 hours to do a <1.5 hour task, and think they're doing a good job.

People that whine about California.

Evidently only Christians die in car crashes. I have never seen a star of David or a Buddha roadside memorial.

How do you know they are not referring to a lady of the night that is really good at her job?

People who whistle nonsense. If they could actually do a recognizable tune it might be more bearable.

People who walk up to our reception area and look at you while talking on their cell phone.
I guess they expect the receptionist to wait for them to finish.

SLOW drivers who roll through stop signs as well.

They think they are driving safe by driving SLOW.

All they are is CRAPPY drivers who should be pulled over and thrashed!

Passing through the market checkout and being asked if I'd like to donate my change to xyz charity.
When it catches me the wrong way, I say, "No thank you, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to feel like a jerk". :mad:

they will use YOUR donation to claim the grocery store or their crop. donated


BTW - my newest pet peeve is people who call waiters "boss"

Good point.

Double clicking to delete spam....single clicking regular asshat's email.....

Or bosses that call their employees 'waiter'.

How about people who just mill about - no apparent goal...just taking up space and getting in the way. :mad::mad::mad:

People who send parcels that require a signature.

C.mon......really? :rolleyes:

Oh, let me see....
-I hate people who tailgate. (do they honestly think I'm going to speed up)
-Anyone on the road that runs their bright lights with a set or two of driving lights.
-Those that leave their shopping kart in the middle of the isle.
-Lazy people who don't work but still accept Gov subsidies.
-Obese people who need an electric scooter in the grocery store.
-Parents that won't say anything to their LOUD kids.
-Needlessly barking dogs.
-Thumping stereos that I can hear over my 72" diesel mower.
-W I N T E R
-Car trouble
-Holiday traffic
-Wimpy people who can't handle any amount of discomfort without medicating.
-Politicians who want to change the world, that join the old boys club.
-I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

Lately I've noticed a trend on the road: when a car makes a right hand turn into a street or driveway, they slow WAY down - almost to a standstill as they make their turn. As if they are afraid that if they drive faster than 2mph through the corner, their car will instantly flip and cause death, famine and destruction...

Meanwhile, the car behind said car just wants to go straight at the normal speed limit (35-40mph).

Argh -- if you are that afraid to make a right hand turn, then just make three left hand turns around the block and allow the rest of us to be on our way!

This must be a "thing" now. I had 2 vehicles yesterday do this. I may have called the driver of one of them an old goat. To myself, of course.

Its amazing the amount of stupidity on the road these days.

I only do this if the person behind me is riding my bumper.
That driver is already too focused on one thing, so I don't want to make any sudden movements that would cause him/her to hit my car.

Otherwise, I turn off the stability control and drift it in at 35.

In the same vein, people who make a right turn and do a WIDE swing as if they are motoring a big rig.

I do this, but of course I drive a Ford F350...SmileWavy

Nosey grocery store clerks who insist on asking me questions about some of my purchases as they scan:

"What do you put this on?"
"Does this taste good?"
"I've never tried this before"
"How do you make it?"

UGH!!! Just scan it and put it in a friggin' bag, would ya'? STFU!

People who ride once a year and forget how to ride (not surprisingly).

In Western Nova Scotia each year we have the Wharf Rat Rally. Thousands of bikers from Eastern NA arrive in the province. I swear some of these folks haven't thrown a leg across since last year.

I suppose I should be glad they are being cautious and prudent, but when you've got a gaggle of these machines trundling down the roads and c-r-e-e-p-i-n-g around the corners, it makes one feel , shall we say, slightly less welcoming. Especially if you are trying to get somewhere. :mad:

Learn to drive the darned thing before you leave home!

I thought it was just me, but a week after the rally, I was talking to three riders who said they avoid the rally for just that reason.

Rant off.

That's 4 or 6 across!


Ya know what really burns my butt?
A flame about 3 feet high.
