Speaking of bathroom etiquette, by all means, to the person who feels that it's their prerogative to think it's the 4th of July (if you know what I mean), every time they're in there, leave that kind of thing at home!! Thank you.

Sorry SOMMS, but I just had to vent!!

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 11/6/08 at 10:59am

So, my vent is about my vent..it's dirty and I dont want to change it's filter...I cant afford a new vent, so I'm sure I'll get sick because of this old dirty vent.

That didnt make me feel any better.

Dottie, I saw that Snuggie ad too. I was laughing my butt off!

The Snuggie was invented to conceal hand jobs...clearly!

I love this thread!

Re:"I work at Target..it's terrible. But I love it when I'm in my red polo, khaki pants, with my name badge on holding a walkie talkie and a scanner and a guest comes up to me and says, "Do you work here?"

People in Target who walk up to me when I am wearing a GREEN shirt and JEANS and ask if I work there need to STFU and take their stupidity elsewhere.

People who reply to a mass email at work and CC: everyone need to STFU. People who reply to a regular email at work to ask me a question that was answered IN THE ORIGINAL EMAIL need to STFU and leave.

People who take up two parking spots so their "new" crappy a$$ car doesn't get dinged need to STFU and deserve to get keyed.

People on message boards (other than BWW) who insist on "welcoming" me to the community every time I come out of lurkhood to post need to STFU, because even though my post count may be low it freaking SAYS I joined in 2003.

And lastly, people who insist that my 6-month pregnant self must be carrying twins because I am so big REALLY need to STFU and get far, far away from my hormonally charged slap.

My, that DID feel good


ETA: and people who walk into an otherwise empty public restroom and take the stall right next to me when there are 10 other empty stalls need to STFU. Seriously.

Don't they think that you would know by 6 months if you were having twins?

They would if they weren't morons. However.

This is my new favorite thread. Suddenly, I don't feel so alone.

I absolutely hate the escalator and sidewalk issues. I hev never been able to understand how two people can figure out a way to walk slowly and meander enough out of sync to block an entire downtown sidewalk, but it occurs right in front of me every day. I try to predict their rhythm and get past them, but they always switch it up so end up bumping into them and then they act like I'm being all rude, even when I say, "Excuse me."

And I was just thinking about the double-door thing yesterday. I really don't get the people who literally stand there and wait for people to come in the door they wish to exit when there is another door RIGHT NEXT TO IT not being used. I always walk by everyone and open the door myself and say, "Huh. It works!"

And Comcast is my nemesis. They have screwed up every service call I have made in the last 5 years and they have billed me incorrectly ever since I moved to my new place 4 months ago. They scheduled my move wrong (not even close to anything I requested), never turned off service to my old address, billed me for both accounts after discussing their error 4 times in 3 months, placed my account into collection, and then when a supervisor told me everything was corrected and I was receiving a massive credit, instead of crediting my account, they billed the credited amount placing my account further into delinquency and I had a $1300 cable bill. The last time I checked, it was supposed to be corrected, but I will have no idea until I receive the next bill, of which I told them I have absolutely no faith will be accurate. The only people who have every done anything right at Comcast are the technicians who install my equipment. Other than that, there is nothing good about the company, but they have an exclusive contract for service in my building, so it's Comcast or nothing.

And then there is my next-door neighbor who plays techno house music at ear-splitting volumes with his speakers firmly achored to the walls that share my unit. I have spoken to him, filed complaints, but he always manages to forget that other people besides him live in the building. And it's not just like you hear a little bass, it literally rattles the appliances. During the day, I wear wireless headphones around the house just to try and block out some of the noise, but it often overpowers those as well. And when he goes on a meth binge or whatever, you can not only hear all the lyrics, but it will suddenly occur at 1 am or maybe 5:30 am in sporadic bursts for a minute or two just so it startles you awake every time he changes songs halfway through. The board is supposed to decide on further action, but it takes a long time since he's a renter and everything has to go through the owner of the unit. Next time, I think I'll call the police. I'm just afraid the guy will wig out on me. He's seriously creepy. And straight, too, judging from the sounds of his porn preferences I can hear through my bedroom walls.

Those employees should be fired..I'm just saying.

It makes me mad when my grandmother bashes my high school right in front of me just because she didn't like who they named it after over 25 years ago..I have no control over that! And just because I did theatre instead of playing sports like my precious cousins did does not mean it was okay that she always went to go watch their games but skipped out on my plays. Her excuse was that I "only do backstage stuff" and that since I wasn't the star "it's not a big deal."

UGH! I graduated already and she still gives me crap about it.

Mr. Matt you need to switch to Direct TV! That really is ridiculous!

Posted: 11/6/08 at 4:15pm

Shannon that really SUCKS!!!!!!!!

I didn't do sports either...mainly cuz I didn't like Field Hockey and those girls would have kicked my ASS!!! But I was a literary nerd (newspaper, yearbook, poetry magazine) and my grandmother threw me a small party when I was appointed Editor-In-Chief of the school paper. Lame: yes, but very loving of my grandma.

Stockard, I must say...I enjoyed your delivery. Not too wordy, to the point, and indubitably true.
