  • Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

    Went to have a little nap earlier. Just as I got relaxed, I get a call I look at it, "Restricted" so I put it back down. If you don't want me to know who you are, then I'm not answering. Then five or ten minutes later the phone chimes that I have a voice mail.

    There's only one person on earth that will leave me a max limit voicemail.

    I got up two hours later and, sure enough, its Mom. For some reason she's going on about the first time my Dad and her broke up in college and how she met the brother of James Taylor (yes, that one, apparently) out of that. And this because my sister defriended her on Facebook. I don't know how the two are related, but she thought it was important to tell me.

    I know why, its because she's still trying to win some non-existent war for me and my sister's affection. I love both my parents, but damn Mom, that ship has sailed , my sister and I have our own lives now.

    And believe me, I've told her that before - its just makes her go off the deep end with rage when I do. Its never in the past, always in the here and now with her. I sometimes sit here wondering, "When I have a wife and kids, is she still going to be like this, calling me up with these crazy stories of hers?" Is she could to wage this war for affection with my children? I'm startng to think if she could to it to spite my father, she totally would.

      Look on the bright side BBQ, at least you'll never actually have a wife and kids.

      But yes, phones in general are a peeve. I've luckily managed to get over most of my fear of speaking on phones that I had as a kid, but still loathe them. If you have a phone, you can send me written communications, which are almost always more efficient uses of time. Only time you need telephony is when you have urgent business, or you want to hear someone's voice.

        Well, that's what my mom claims, but she uses most of the time to bitch about my father and her 25 year-old divorce rather than learn what what new things are going on in my life. Every somehow sequeways into how horrible my dad is, regardless of the topic of conversation, she will connect it somehow.

        Like right now, she's talking about the Wall Street sequel and how the bad character from the first movie is just like my dad. I'm being completely serious right now, I'm hearing it now. And now she's talking about her divorce lawyer. I'm sure she'll be talking about my evil uncle's role again in five seconds.

        I don't know how he's evil, I've always seen my uncle as lethargic.

        Oh wait, she's on the James Taylor connection again...

        Now Carol King and Carly Simon for some reason, NPR and Sarah Palin.... There will be a connection to my evil father here somewhere, I'm sure. I don't know how she'll connected it, just that she will.

          I hate that I was out of work for three weeks and naturally I got into the bad habit of staying up late and dicking around online, and now my schedule's all fucking jacked up to the point where it's nearly 1 and I can't sleep yet. This is why I didn't want to wait three fucking weeks to start working. Because I knew this exact thing would happen without me even trying (because seriously, I didn't try to, it just happens this way) and now I'm going to show up for my first day with probably like 3 hours of sleep. And lying around in bed right now is pointless because my body is not ready to damn sleep, so now I'm still up late fucking around even though I went to bed nearly an hour ago with all good intentions of going to sleep.

            LuL... editing peoples posts to make them sound terrible is a past-time of mine. Yours was so full of vulgarity, it was hard to resist.

            Good times... and no offence intended. I'll gladly erase this and replace it with soemthing flattering if you like.

                My boss's boss is complaining that I took 26 hours of overtime the other week. In my defense, 10 of those hours I was compelled to do.

                  It's been a while. We've talked before in threads from FFXI... but that was over a year and a half ago before I quit. I'm just covering my bases. Glad you took it in good stride. It mad me chuckle while editing it.

                  Its the small things...

                            I have this one t-shirt than I have decided is just somehow a food magnet. Every other shirt I have I seem to come through meals with no issues whatsoever, except this earthy green t-shirt.

                                1: Heavy smokers who sit next to you on the bus. Not only does it make me gag and cough, but it also makes me unable to fucking breath well.

                                2: People who say AKS instead of ASK. How hard can it be to take your time and say ask? Come on! If you say "I want to AKS you." Then Imma call the cops on your ass for wanting to axe me...

                                3: Not knowing your work schedule for the next week. It like, I gotta keep asking the manager when do I come in next? Tomorrow?"No" The day after" "Yes". "When?" "8 AM" "Ok..." Then its the same the next day of work...

                                4: People who listen to cRAP music on the public bus. I don't want to listen to the cRAP at all! It is so fucking loud the entire bus could hear it, and not everyone wants to listen to the cRAP at all! Its fucking cRAP, not music! I don't want to listen to the F word every three seconds, and then hear shit every 5 seconds. Who the fuck wants to listen to that cRAP!?!

                                Can't spell crap with out Rap...
                                1) Cigarette smoke triggers a hayfever like reaction whenever I breathe it in which sucks so I feel your pain. Did I mention that 3 of my closest friends also smoke?

                                The worst smoke is marijuana smoke though. It's not too bad when you expect to smell it and can smell pleasant but when you are breathing in fresh air and someone starts smoking it or someone who smells of it walks by. The sudden smell hitting me is enough to make me gag half the time. Sometimes I'm tempted to just let rip and vomit over the person who does that.

                                2) Never actually had this problem since I live in the UK though I will add in a UK specific one. People who are inconsistent about how you pronounce works with "oo" in them.

                                You get people who pronounce "Book" as "Buhck" and "Cook" as "Cuhck" yet they don't say they are "Out of fuhd so I'm going to put on some buhts, go out hunting to shuht a muhse". It's always some stuck up rich kid from the south who pisses and moans about people not pronouncing "oo" as "uh" in seemingly random words. Seriously, one or the other, if you use both you just sound like some pretentious southern twat whose parents pay for people to wipe your arse for you.

                                And yes we do both use "Ass" and "Arse" in the UK. I do always find myself laughing when an American game subtitles "Arse" as "Ass" *glances at Dragon Age*

                                3) Bad managers are bad. Sometimes I wonder how some keep their jobs.

                                4) It's always some group of 15 year old kids as well, acting as though they're being badass (yes we say it as badass, "badarse" is something completely different) for sitting at the bad of a bus with whatever junk is in the charts blaring out of their mobile phones while hurling verbal abuse at anyone who walks onto the bus, when in reality all it does is make you wish for a sudden nuclear holocaust when you imagine what these people will be like when they are older. People wonder why so many kids get stabbed on buses in the UK then you remember they they are always kids like this and it's usually the kids who were carrying and got the knife turned on them.
