List of complaints dating back to 1985...

OK, so not really. That was just a play on an old joke made at my expense back in high school. Never the less, I thought this might be a fun way to blow off some steam as well as an entertaining piece for people to read. I often say, "Nothing pisses me off more than...," haha! So here we are; an ongoing list of pet peeves which will be continuously added to.

1) When a guy asks you out but then expects you to come up with the plan OR asks you out and then says he's down for anything. NO!!! This is the equivalent of saying, "I'm bored and I don't know what to do but I have chosen you to entertain me." Wow, what a great contest I have won!!! No thank you. If you ask me out, you should have a plan or at least a few ideas in mind.

2) Drew Barrymore. I don't know, there's something obnoxious about the way she talks or looks.

3) People who believe everything they see on TV or people who have no good support for their beliefs or values and defer to such excuses as, "that's just how I was raised," "that's just how it is," or ANY reference to the Bible. In conclusion, people who don't think for themselves.

4) Men who email me asking for naked pics. Really.

5) People who talk entirely in slang like, "Dat shit is phat," people who write entirely in caps and or without punctuation, oR pEoPle ThAt WrItE lIkE tHis.

6) People whom consistently misuse homonyms such as their, there, and they're or to, two, and too.

7) Britney Spears. Can everyone just get over her already?!!?!?

8) OH...people that get annoyed with ME because I have never watched their favorite television show by which they vicariously live their lives or because I don't follow American Idol or any other "reality" TV shows.

9) Bill collectors that have a computer call your house only to ask you to sit on hold. I mean really, does anyone do that? I don't see how this is productive for them at all. I mean, they always say they have an important message for you. Sure, some dumb smuck might sit there thinking, "ooo, maybe I won a million dollars". But I'll bet that only works once.

10) People who sincerely believe that WWE is "real"...eh, or any soap opera for that matter.

11) People who waste my time. Wow! That should have been #1!

12) People under the age of 50 who in the 8th year of the 21st century STILL cannot manage simple computer tasks such as attaching a photo to an email or saving a file.

13) People working behind a counter that don't acknowledge your presence with something like, "I'll/someone will be right with you".

14) Sitting on hold for any more than two minutes.

15) Pretty much all ISPs (internet service providers) available in WNY.

16) People who say that they do not like cats because they are not friendly. No...it's just that the cat doesn't kiss your ass for approval like a dog would. These are always the same people that have a problem with me being as independent as I am.

17) People who arbitrary hate any animal.

18) The phrase, "Age is just a number". Sure...when you are a 54 year old man hitting on a 28 year old women. How about a better argument maybe like, "I have lots of money and I don't know how to spend it."

19) The phrase, "It's what's on the inside that counts." Shut up, really. Only an ugly or dishonest person would say that. And yes, "what's on the inside" certainly does count. But that is NOT going to override a completely grotesque or even strongly unattractive exterior. If you want to argue this with me don't; cuz you're a liar.

20) Ooo, LIARS, dishonest people, people who say they want honesty but do not practice it themselves OR people who ASK for an honest answer and then get upset with your response.

21) People who in anyway debate with me my decision to not have children. The most annoying is "you never know,". Yes because it's not like reproducing is a choice or anything. It's not like we have any control over that. And that's like saying, "you never know...something you do not want more than anything in the world could happen to you." That's nice! Second and third would be again, any appeal to the Bible or stating that, "You just have to!"

22) Marriage.

23) People who state the obvious and or insult my intelligence.

24) Pro-lifers...this kind of goes hand in hand with the extremely religious or #3.

25) Men that I don't know who email me with things like, "how are you," and or "what's up".

26) People who tell me I should be dating an older man. Um, no thank you. (a) Older men typically look to be my father's age and I do NOT have a daddy fetish. (b) Older men typically either have children or want to start making them tomorrow. (c) Older men hold strong to old-school stereotypes regarding male/female roles. (d) Older men ALWAYS talk down to me like I am a child. I was never a child. But they ALWAYS think they are smarter and more experienced in life just because they have been on the planet for a few years longer than I have. They constantly insult my intelligence. And (e) Older men tend to like younger women because they feel they are in a better position to control "their woman". NO THANKS!!!

27) Non-technical people that offer me "technical advice" which is 9 times out of 10 either wrong or blatantly obvious.

28 ) Any person that talks about or offers advice on any subject on which they are clearly not educated or qualified to advise.

29) Twenty-five feet of snow in 24 hours in MARCH!!!

30) Surveys which contain questions in which the choices are NOT mutually exclusive or the questions themselves are double-barreled.

31) Guys who upon your seeing their pic, ask things such as, "Do you like?," "What do you think?," "Am I hot enough for you?," "Are you attracted to me?," OR those guys that debate their attractiveness and put themselves down in a sad attempt to fish for compliments.

32) People who are oblivious to the fact that NY is a state and NYC is a city within the state of New York and that there is a whole lot of NY outside of NYC! This is 1st grade geography folks.

33) People who type "sorry" as "sowwy",
as if that is supposed to be cute!

34) When people make me talk about things or ask tons of questions when i really need to be left alone. I can be verbally vicious in this situation. If I am not talking it's probably a good thing.

35) TV shows where they allow viewers to call in and ask stupid questions or make dumb comments.

36) Actually, 95% of all that is on TV.

37) Unproductive meetings (which is in reality, redundant), meetings that are obvious excuses to avoid actual work. If you want to sit around a table and talk with your co-workers, go to lunch together.

38) Being forced to play games at meetings under the guise of it being an icebreaker or some team-building bullshit.

39) Coworkers that think I NEED company on my lunch break. NO!!! If we are not friends outside of work, chances are I don't want to talk to you unless I'm being paid to do so.

40) People who proudly boast that they do not read or whom respond to such a suggestion as if you were trying to sell them crack.

41) People who post photos of themselves that they took shooting into a mirror when all but very cheap cameras come with a self timer delay feature for use in this very situation.

42) When men say, "You're an attractive girl, how can you be single? OR, you should be able to get a man easy." (As if that is my life's ambition.) Yes, yes I could...if I wanted to. Maybe that's why I'm single...ever think of that? I mean, you would never look at an attractive male and say, "You're hot. How can you not have a girlfriend? OR, you should be able to get a girl easy."

43) White people that assume because I am also white* that I share their ignorant and racist views and/or want to listen to their bigotry.
(*I also hate the term white...as if I have NO color at all.)

44) People who are ignorant of other's poverty and say things like, "...it ONLY costs about $100" OR "if you visit Vegas, be sure to bring a few grand in spending money" OR in any way suggest that travel is easy and affordable OR things like, "you really should start saving for retirement". LMFAO! OK, suuure...right after I finish paying off that $70K in student loans with my $20K/year salary.
