What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

They basically told me to go get fucked. I seriously don't know how these people go home and sleep at night.

Yep just like the insurance companies. I have a kidney disease that causes high blood pressure. My bp is very difficult to regulate at times so anything futzing with my kidneys creates issues and messing with your bp isn't f**king advisable. So I had massive stones form one year and they were uric acid stones which are very hard and difficult to get rid of. They tried all the normal avenues and they didn't work. My bp was bouncing like crazy making me mad sick and the stones were god damn painful to boot. I was in and out of the hospital 17 times with bp issues, infections, etc. After a few other surgeries, the doctor determined I needed a surgery that was basically the same as the ones they had done before but it used a different machine. The insurance company said the machine was "experimental". I found out that my company was one of the last holding out on approval for this machine. (It's now in common use and is approved by all insurance companies.) But they would not allow me to have this surgery even though it would get rid of the stones and save them money in the long run and save my kidneys from more damage...and possibly save my life.

I got on the phone with this woman from the company and eventually was given the supervisor. I'm a very composed educated person so to eventually be reduced to a weeping blathering idiot by this woman was remarkable. I had been through a year of pain and anguish. I flirted with death on more than one occasion. But the way this woman talked to me was so cold and so flippant that I was amazed she could sleep at night. I thank god every day that I can not be one of these people.

The manager gets on, and says $260/month is the minimum, I can take it or not, and if I don't they're marking my account as 'unwilling to sign up for monthly payments'.

Bureaucracies are no smarter than half of the average intelligence of the people paranoid robotic fools behind them. And that's being generous.

So we can get off of serious peeves for a bit, you know those hangers that have those clips on those? The ones that are supposed to hang up jeans? Screw those, I can save a bunch of time folding my pants in half and using a good old normal wire hanger!

wtf @ hanging jeans? Hell I quit hanging my laundry in general lately, it just goes out of the clean basket, worn, and into the dirty basket.

Only applicable in the winter when you need that extra toastiness before heading out the door.

Government programs have been a heap of crap for me as well. I applied to get help finding a job through the state's vocational rehab program since I qualified for having a disability.

I have been on this program eleven months and I'm not any closer to finding a better job than when I started. My last employer will spin it otherwise, but I got shitcanned for my illness and that's the only reason. Father ran the busniess better than his prick of a son anyway.

I leave messages and get no calls back, when I have to reschedule and appointment, its pushed back for three months. They must really be busy doing nothing for anybody, because that's all I've gotten from the last year in thier program.

"I'm axeing you"

I swear to god if my roommate says it one more time I'm gonna cut someone. It's ASK. A S K. Not AKS, not AXE, none of that shit. Learn how to pronounce the fucking word.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Maybe you should do so with an axe, y'know, to really drive your point home.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

No offense to anyone but please tell me he/she is not white. Thats what really ticks me off. I'm used to the African American slang from the AA community but when you start seeing suburban white boys running around doing it.........it makes me want to hurt someone.

I'm pretty sure people of all races share that sentiment of despise, Grandma.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

No, she's black. It still annoys me though, I don't give a shit who you are, it's not that hard to pronounce "ask."

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Ask is so archaic.

Sour Patch kids. Not the food itself, but I believe that they purposely do something to them so that once you near the bottom, they start tasting better. Everytime I buy the things, its ok, then midway its all "WHOA, wtf are in these things!?" and I get to the end and am tempted to eat the sugar dust.

I sometimes feel there is cocaine or something in there, like what they put in Krispy Kreme's.

OMG! I'm not the only one that thinks that!
