Hate it when that happens. You think the computer is slow or something, so you click "submit" again and then you're looking at a double whammy.


Last night, the family and I were driving on the interstate to visit relatives in Kansas. Our front driver side tire jus went to shreds....literally. We pulled over, got the spare to drop, and put the jack in place. The jack went up about two inches and then no more. It's one of those lame "spin" kind, not a pump jack. I was turning the crank with the crowbar, but the jack just couldn't take the weight of the truck. It took 30 minutes for a state trooper to arrive, who in turn, called us a wrecker who was another 45 minute for us. We arrived at 1 a.m. I was very irritated. Moral of the story-find one of those giant pump jacks and don't use those cheap, and worthless jacks!

DH = Darling Husband

Sometimes used tongue and cheek and other times sincerely.:whistling:

Please notice that when you will see me posting "DH" it's because I've put him on my shit list!

Noted.


Today I'm irritated because the doctor told me I'm not allowed to do anything at all this week, I can't even go to university!
Yesterday evening I went horse riding and the horse got a little too close to the wall and then my knee hit one of the iron beams supporting the ceiling. :(
 
Today I'm irritated because this one girl in my band class is really annoying and today she out-right lied to the teacher! She told him that she can't be at the football game that we're playing at on Friday because she just found out today that she has an overnight cross-country meet in Montana (an 8/9 hour drive). How come she just found out today when the rest of the cross-country team has know for 2 weeks? And it's not like it's a minor meet, it's two states away and it's for overnight! I asked another girl in cross-country if she'd been going to practice for the last two weeks! She acts like this perfect little know-it-all brat! :mad: And when she was late coming back from a break and my teacher was yelling at her (she was 15 minutes late), she just stood there and smiled and pretended like she wasn't late at all. And today my band teacher told us to whisper during the morning announcements so others could hear, and she raised her hand and said, "I think people shouldn't be allowed to talk at all because I can't hear." Yes, Elizabeth, the world does revolve around you.
 
Today I am irritated by the sound of small combustion engines. They've been running all day long; lawn mowers, leaf blowers, pressure washers and gas fired edgers, all running in my neighborhood, all day long. Let the grass grow and the leaves settle on the ground for a few days - the wind will eventually blow them away.
 
Today (and two other days) I am irritated by our new neighbor who leaves her nasty ass trash on her front door step instead of taking it down to the dumpster right away.
If you don't want to take it down and want to wait until you go out, that's fine. But leave it on the inside of your f'ing door. That's what we do.

Looking at other people's trash is disgusting. There's even something in our lease agreement about how we're not supposed to leave trash on our doorsteps. I think it's some sort of health code violation.

Yuck. I can't stand this filth and laziness.

Janet,for goodness sakes, I have to get everything ready for winter.(the only thing I don't have from your list is the leaf blower, rakes and the kids hands is the engine there):D
 
Too much paperwork today and I'm not sure that what I'm writing is ok, it might need some changes later.:blink:
 
Just a few off the top of my head that I've noticed this past weekend.

-People who say the word "smorgasboard."

-People who refuse to change lanes when you are trying to merge onto the interstate.

-Sarah Palin

-Advertisements that play before you listen to any video stream off of a news website.

-Political advertisements by politicians with a sissy voice.

-Unseasonally warm weather

- Brick roads that are in horrible shape.

-When the Huskers lose.:sad:
 
Today I'm irritated because a colleague from work has spent all morning talking to himself and whistling. Doesn't he realize how irritating that is?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :banghead6mx:
