I am fed up with Wal-mart! I saw a marked down blouse I liked and decided to try it on. Ok I get my 1 item hanger and try all the doors..none unlocked, no item hangers to mark the occupied ones. I spotted one door ajar and hang my hanger on the door..the dimwit at the desk smiles and I go in. No more had I gotten undressed then I hear a knock and "Maa'm you need to come out!" I yell back occupied..another knock..again with the come out..all annoyed! Thinking something is really wrong, I hold the blouse up to my chest and open the door a crack. The dimwit and another woman are standing there and the dimwit says..this is her room! (pointing at the lady) The dimwit was smirking and the lady was embarrased.
I was hungry..tired and annoyed. I snapped back that unless she wants me to flash the world they both can take a freakin' seat! I put my blouse back on and stormed out..I threw the blose on a nearby bench and told the dimwit..you sat right there and let me go in, you didn't unlock a door for me and you are a lazy child. She kept saying sorry, smirk gone. I guess since I did her job at one time..it made me madder then it should have.
Things like that do nothing for my blood pressure or my temper control. When I start to get hungry my temper gets very short.
If you are a diabetic or have other issues..try HALT
never get too:
Hungry
Angry
Lonely
or Tired.
All I was missing was lonely. Should have stayed home!

Anyone who cannot say please or thank you or your welcome or hold a door open when you are clearly right behind them..........

When people look right at you while driving and cut you off. It's bad enough people that aren't paying attention cut me off, but now I'm going to get a bunch of people (it's been happening all week) that look right at me (knowing that they are going to cut me off) and do it anyway.

Even more...last week I got a ticket because some idiot decided to cut me off and instead of rear ending him...i moved over onto the onramp and don't you know...look up in the rearview...state cop. GRRRRRR

I hear you! I drove a semi for 12 years with my hubby, and I've seen people do the most idiotic and dangerous things! I'm far from perfect myself, but I at least try to use common sense. One time my husband was driving and heard on the CB there were teenagers in the next town playing dangerous games with the truckers. They were pulling right in front of the big rigs, then slamming on their brakes! Laughing their heads off! I'm thankful they didn't get hurt, (someone called the Highway Patrol and stopped them) but I wish I could have taken them to the scene of a wreck I saw where a car short stopped in front of a semi, was run over, and everyone was killed, including the children. So very sad!!! The truck driver was interviewed, and said he would never drive a big rig again. Big trucks need plenty of room to stop. At least as long as a football field.
Cutting someone off is not worth the extra few seconds saved.

You're upset? Really, I couldn't tell I agree with you 100%!!

I once went to 3 staions for quotes..when it got down to a normal price, I told the guys to put my parts in the trunk for my huband to look at when he came home from a TDY..my hubby the mechanic..the price was less then quoted when I picked up the car! (my ex was an electrician btw)

 

[StarrzChylde]

The thing that really gets me is that the people at this shop know me, and know that my step-dad is a mechanic. A second opinion is just a phone call away. I could even drive the two hours to my parent's house and have him fix it for me. Was just looking for the convenience factor here of using a shop directly across the street from work.

LAST time I ever let anyone other than my step-dad even LOOK at my car.

Made a cake for a friend last night (my own death by chocolate cake)
Hid the cake UNDER Veggies in the fridge, tacked a note on cake pan just in case it got found "DO NOT EAT"....
woke up to find cake 1/2 gone and no one around...............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr gear grinding and head lopping going on here today!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mary Kay]

Off with their heads!

 

[Safira]

Since the cake is half gone already, I'll take the other half. You know so you have more room in your fridge, I'd do that for you, cause I'm nice like that.

 

[lostinthemist]

oh pretty much all of these things make me grind my teeth. The result? a constant headache. But I can add a few I think:

People who say "I'll get back to you asap" and don't.
People who patronize me and smile while doing their best to make me seem stupid.
People who can't seem to decide what lane they want to be in and firmly believe they are alone on the road (or the entire world!)
People who say "should of" and mix up their, there and there, not to mention to, too and two.
Salesmen who will not return calls. (clearly they are alot richer than me!)

yeah, I have a headache...

 

[thelook]

Safira: send me your addy! lol, I ended up running out and buying more stuff to make another one, mind you, this is a made from scratch cake...oh and it turns out that it was not the kids who started it, DAD was the instigator!!!

Lostinthemist Welcome to the women's room...the saleman one gets to me every time!

 

[Mary Kay]

Mail order meds! Mike gets them sent to him from the V.A. ..they keep sending him the same two meds! The problem is they don't send the rest!

 

[lostinthemist]

Thanks for the welcome! One more to add: People who ask you what you want and then say "I got you this instead because I decided you didn't really want item x." I haven't slugged anyone--yet.

 

[StarrzChylde]

You must have some amazing self control.. I would have knocked that person on their... well, you get the idea.

I have another one: Those people who talk sooo nasty about others one minute, only to act cheerful and nice 5 minutes later when the object of their ridicule walks into the room. This is actually happening at WORK. I mean, seriously people... are we still in high school?!?!?!

 

[Safira]

StarrzChylde I'm going be one of those people who talk bad about someone behind there back right now, but I need to get this of my chest

If you have door handles in your house that are over 40 yrs old, and ALL of them have not been working for at least 10 yrs. Then don't get mad at my husband when he can't open your bathroom door because the handle isn't working. If my husband then spends over an hours trying to get the door open without having to break the door and just can't do it, don't get mad at him because he has to break your door. Until someone can invent a foldable hammer and screwdriver so he get the hinges off he needed to put a small hole in your door to get the broken handle off so he could open the door. (and if you look it's a small hole that can be fixed, and no one will ever know) Look at his hands and notice his hands are all cut up from trying to get the door handle off himself without any tools. YOU should have replaced those handles 20 yrs ago When they went out of style, or maybe 10 yrs ago when the all started breaking. Be glad it wasn't one of my children stuck in that bathroom, or worse my father. Dad would have had a heart attack in that bathroom, and we'd be planing his funeral. Is this what you want?

Oh while we're at it, "brain freeze" from eating ice cream, is not literal. You cannot freeze your brain and die from eating ice cream. Please find one person who has died and then during autopsy they opened the head and found the brain with ice crystals on it, and I'll change my opinion. Until you can find said person DO NOT tell MY children they will die with a frozen brain from eating ice cream. I don't like you tell my children such BS, it's freaks them out. They are children who should enjoy eating ice cream once a month with the fear that they will die.

OK rant off/ and how was everyone else's weekend.
