I LOVE glasshouses - they're pretty w/ all of the flowers and trees!! It's neat!
I know I'll get blasted by those of you in the beach communities but I just can't stand it when people wear flip flops or (worse yet), Birkenstocks with socks everywhere and anywhere besides the beach, quick trips to the store or at home!
Being casual and comfortable is great but I don't want to see people's ugly toenails on long plane rides, in bars or, worse yet, when I go into a business and people are wearing them! I am a teacher and there are other teachers, not P.E. teachers, who wear them and it looks tacky! Also, I think it looks stupid if I go to a bar or club and a guy has a nice shirt, nice pants on and then flip flops-major turn-off!
O.K. I'm rambling, I'll stop now!

I need to add that obnoxious Aussie Croc Hunter, Steve whatshisname. Did you all see the video of him holding his infant in one arm while dangling a piece of meat in front of a crocidile using the other arm? And he wasn't leaning over a fence or anything. He was in the freaking pen with the croc! Reminiscent of Wacko dangling his kid over the balcony at the hotel. Are they auditioning for "Stupid Baby Tricks" or something? 
In light of this week's winners in both the Mega Millions $162 million jackpot and the Powerball $210 million dollar jackpot (one winner in the former, two winners in the latter), and in light of a relative telling me he'd take the annuity, more people who should be shot (note, I immediately shot my relative)...
- Those winners who choose the annuity payouts. First of all, why the hell would ANYone want to receive their winnings over a frickin' 29 year period? What if, God forbid, you don't LIVE that long? Sure, your heirs will have the money via your estate, but a lot of good THAT'S going to do you.
Secondly, you can take the lump sum up front and invest it and make a helluva lot more in the long run than you would via the annuity payout.
In light of that, why is it always really old people who win the Lottery or people who can barely speak English?
Why is it always someone other than ME that wins the lottery? :confused: frown
- Steve Irwin, so-called crocodile expert, who stands in a crocodile pit and stupidly holds his 1-month-old infant son in his left arm while he feeds a huge crocodile with his right arm. Then he proceeds to take his son and \"walk\" him around the crocodile pit.
- Terri Irwin, Steve's wife, who when asked about the stunt, said, \"I think it was a wonderful sensory experience for our son. I think he dug it.\"
:confused: :confused: :confused:
I hate when big lottery winners say how happy they are working and won't quit their jobs. Give the money to ME then and you can keep working, you SOB's!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my friends has a 4.0 as a Biology major with a minor in Physics. She's currently applying to medical schools and has been accepted to a few thus far. When it comes to anything science related, she's a genius. However, she is dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to anything related to history, geography, politics ... etc. After trying to talk to her about politics, I highly doubt she could guess the two dominant political parties in the US on a multiple choice exam. Politics is a subject area that she's doesn't have any sort of interest.
While I'm a science geek, I also love history, geography, politics, foreign languages, etc., so it just boggles my mind how she just doesn't have any knowledge about these things.
My point ... I do have a point somewhere in my rambling ... is that I still consider my friend intelligent even though she misses "very obvious questions that anyone should know the answers to." While I think it's sad that she could care less about the Eiffel Tower, some people just aren't interested in that subject. Granted, most young people are rather clueless when it comes to what you think is general knowledge, but it's hasty to generalize that certain people are dumb because they don't know where one can find the Eiffel Tower.

Trust me, I have been teaching high school for 12 years now and you'd be surprised at how much teenagers, parents and fellow teachers just don't know! Some are lazy, others just don't care and some are really just dense!
Parents in the last few years, my siblings included sometimes, just give everything to their kids, let them play these stupid video games for hours on end, don't nurture reading with them and just don't get involved nowadays!
That's not all parents but lots of them! There's no communication, thus these kids have no clue when it comes to basic facts that they should know; plus, they miss a lot of school, teachers get frustrated with them that they aren't learning or doing the work and just give up!
Our school has good students but I see it more in the urban schools, where there is overcrowding, minorities and parents who are absent!

People who blame their self-destructive behavior (DUIs, drug-taking, over-eating, promiscuity, over-spending) on low self-esteem.
I'm not saying that low self-esteem doesn't exist, but 9 out of 10 people who blame their foibles on low self-esteem seem to suffer from the exact opposite: a gross excess of self-esteem.

- People who have 6\" of snow on their car and brush off only their windows! Hey, you morons! Brush it off your roof, hood, and trunk, because I don't particularly like driving behind what amounts to a blowing snowdrift on 4 wheels. And just how the hell can you even SEE when a half-foot of snow is covering your headlights, too? Sheesh!
- Chicago news reporters who repeatedly break in with \"Storm Watch\" updates just because we got our first snow of the entire winter, and what did it amount to? Wow. A staggering 6\" or so. Hey! Guess what, you morons? It's frickin' January in Chicago! It's going to be cold. It's going to snow. Just how the hell is this so urgent, huh? F--- the breaking news reports on this. Screw the \"storm watch\" if it's not some major blizzard. Even the National Weather Service isn't saying \"Winter Storm Watch or Warning,\" so why make a big deal of it? Now, if we get 6\" of snow in July, break in with that. Then will I realize it's newsworthy.

What makes you think I want to work on a computer I had nothing to do with to begin with? Just because it happens to be my job, doesn't mean I like dealing with it during my off hours (this is why i have a Mac at home). And don't get offended whne after I have told you "No" fifty times, I then say "My rates for Consulting are $65/hour."
No I won't fix your computer for a six-pack...
No I won't fix your computer because we're friends ..(and after asking me, we're no longer friends, because I know I've told you the rules about asking me for computer help)
No, I won't fix your computer because your kid can't get their homework done, take him to the library you cheapskate or buy him a new computer...

I've been known to give them the same look. Often I'm crossing the street near my house when I have the green light, and a car is turning towards me. If they keep driving and come too close for comfort I'll yell at them and give them the finger. One of these days I'm going to grab a rock or a coin and fire it at their rear windshield.

.....If they keep driving and come too close for comfort I'll yell at them and give them the finger. One of these days I'm going to grab a rock or can and fire it at their rear windshield.
My tactic for these idiot drivers who don't see pedestrians (often me) because they're beginning a turn & not looking in the proper direction is to yell loudly and throw up my arms to get their attention. If they don't immediately stop & just go by (with me having had to dodge their car) I pound on the vehicle's rear side panel or trunk as it goes by. I'd be scared to chuck a rock or can at them--too many chances they could be armed!

few. Koreans take the view that "If I don't know you, you don't exist."
A lot of their behaviour is predicated on that idea.

Like when I walk up to a cashier carrying stuff to buy, and they ask "are you taking this Sir?"
Duh!
Or when you go to the fitting rooms carrying some stuff, and they ask "do you want to try that on?"
Huh??
Or my personal favorite. When I go to a shoe store, and try on shoes, and instead of the sales person asking me how they fit, are they comfortable etc, telling me that "you should get those shoes man, they look great". Yah. They may look great, but I'll be crippled by Saturday.

How about people who use their cellphones while driving, (bullet number one), drive about 40 km per hour below the speed limit, (bullet number 2) and are either in the fast lane, or straddling 2 lanes (bullet number 3) and when you honk at them, they give YOU the finger, (not just bullet number 4, but empty the whole freakin magazine into them)

I find this problem more with fast-food workers than other service personnel, but it can happen anywhere there's a cash register. I'm at the counter trying to order something and the person who's supposed to be waiting on me keeps turning around and talking to someone across the way or behind them and I have no idea if they're hearing what I'm saying or paying attention to what buttons they're pushing on the register.

Someone's always standing around staring into space or chatting when it's their turn, and you just want to give them a shove, or snap your fingers at them. Or shoot them.

People who pay by check at the supermarket or other store, then wait until order is totalled to find and take out checkbook. When I used to pay by check, I'd fill out date and name of merchant before or while order is rung up, so only thing left to do is put in amount and sign the check.
Merchants whose gift cards charge you $2.00 month for inactivity after 6 months or one year.

I second the motion for somebody to shoot a guy or a girl who is dressed up, and wearing flip-flops. Most of the time the flip-flops have holes in the bottoms.
Another bullet should be reserved for the people that choose to drive 1 mile an hour on a two lane street while ignoring the mile long traffic behind them.

I've been reading this thread since it appeared....am I wrong, or has no one mentioned those super-cool folks who take up 2 or more parking spaces with their camaro or whatever.
more things that irk me:
more things that irk me:
- 85lb women driving 30ft Suburbans. Alone. My sister does this, but then she does live on a farm.
- People who can't accept that other people could possibly think, act and/or feel differently in any given situation. Not everyone cries at funerals, for example.
- Folks who nitpick Sam and Frodo surviving Mt. Doom. What? The Nazgul seemed perfectly believable to you, but how on Middle Earth did they not asphyxiate or burn up?
- Idiot Jayhawk fans who continually bring up Roy Williams, only to talk about how tired they are of hearing about him & UNC. (I suppose that group must now include me, by extension.)
- Foley artists. This bears repeating.
- People who worry about the words themselves, and not the context or they intent behind them.
- Which leads me to: people who attempt murder. They did intend to kill someone, it's just due to luck or their incompetence that they didn't \"succeed.\"
People who double-park anywhere, anytime, or for any reason, thereby screwing up the flow of traffic for hundreds of other drivers who are actually trying to get somewhere. The only legitimate excuse would be that they are already legally dead in their vehicle, thereby saving me a bullet for...
People who speed through parking lots.
People who don't give two-sh*ts about the condition of the piece of junk they're driving and nearly rear-end my car when I'm trying to drive slowly over a speed bump so I don't bust an axle. Relax, Dude! Or die!!
People who leave their grocery cart right in the middle of aisle 4 and wander off to get something they forgot in aisle 3 (there'd better be a damn good sale on bullet-proof vests in aisle 3!) I'm often tempted to remove an armful of items from their cart and put them back on the shelves just to screw with their heads, but I've not had the nerve (yet).

I confess: When some woman once did this very thing, I went into her cart, took a few slices of bread out of the loaf of bread in her cart, and I opened the package of bologna, grabbed a slice, and walked away satisfied. Now only if she had Miracle Whip in her cart.

I wonder if she ever noticed?

Particulary those who double-park right in front of an empty parking space! Makes me re-think my postion of being in favor of gun control.
