Weekly Annoyances......

It's time for another installment of your favorite blog post, the weekly annoyances. Its been a few weeks since things have annoyed me enough to blog about them so this will be packed full!!!!!


Voicemails


This first one is one I'm sure we are all guilty of doing but it pisses us off when it happens to us and that's the infamous voicemail that simply says "hey, it's me, call me back". Really?? Why don't you leave me a message and the reason you called and I'll decide whether it's worth my time to call you back. When you don't leave a message, my first response is that if it's that important, one of two things will happen. You'll either call back, or you'll leave a message!!! So the next time you call someone and are planning on leaving a message, make sure if you want a call back to let then know why you called, jackass!!!!! So the next time you call someone and just leave the message, "call me back", they might call you back and just leave the message, "Knock that shit off"!!!!!!





Stop texting Stickers


We've all seen these stickers now on the back of cars and although I agree with the message I have an issue with the stickers. Taking the time to read the stickers can also be distracting to some drivers as well, maybe not as much as texting, but distracting nonetheless. The biggest problem I have is that I recently have seen 2 different cars with these stickers on them, while the driver is on the cell phone with children in the car!!!! Hypocritical, don't you think?? Don't claim to be against texting while driving when what you're doing is distracting as well and you have children in your car!!!! So the next time I see that damn sticker on your car and you happen to be talking on the cell phone, I'm going to flash my lights and beep constantly and also tell you to, Knock that shit off!!!!!!!

 
Holidays


With the holidays approaching and the pending snow, it makes me reminisce of my years of working in the grocery/retail business. With the end of Halloween fastly approaching, in the grocery/retail business that only means that all of the Christmas decorations and candy gets put out. Unlike others, this doesn't bother me because I know the business and in the words of a famous philosophizer, "if you ain't first you're last"!! This means that the sooner you get this holiday merchandise out, the better chance you have of selling it before your opposition. Now here is the part that annoys me, the customers. Why is it neccessary to feel like you are the only customer and everything you want should always be there???? You have to understand that the workers at these stores have families they want to spend time with as well just like you, so they don't need all of your attitude driven bullshit!!! All I ask is that this holiday shopping season, take that into consideration and also remember that it is not the worker's intention to sell out of products so don't take it out on them!! So during this holiday season if you see anyone taking their frustration out on the store employees, I'll ask you to join me in pulling them aside and asking them kindly, Knock that shit off!!!! If that doesn't work, do what you have to do!!!!

Weekly Annoyances.....

I'm back with another installment of your favorite blog post!!! This week, as promised I'll touch on this plaid shorts phenomenon among the younger crowd and a few other annoyances. Here we go.........

Weekly Annoyance #1

This first annoyance is one I'm sure doesn't just annoy me and that is people who "think" they know it all. For anyone that knows me, I have an endless supply of meaningful and meaningless knowledge but I never claim to know everything, just mostly everything!! (that's a joke) These are not the people I am referring to. I am referring to the people that will ask a question, clearly not knowing the answer, and then when you tell them your answer they simply quip,"no that's not it"!!! Seriously, you have no clue but you're quick to shoot my answer down. These same people that claim to be experts in something from what they read and clearly do not know as much about it as those who experience it. You know the type, people who are "experts"on healthcare but are 300 pounds and not doctors. People who are "experts" on education but were "C" students and are not teachers. People who just think they know everything but write emails using "your" for "you are" and "there" for "they are", c'mon "your" killing me!!! Unless you're (see the correct way to use it) a doctor or a medical professor, do not act like you're (again) an expert in the medical field. Unless you're a teacher or an education professor, do not act like an expert in the education field. So think long and hard the next time you're acting like a know it all about something that in fact you know very little about. There may actually be someone who is an expert in that area and they might just tell you to..... Knock that shit off!!!!!!

Weekly Annoyance #2

The next annoyance also involves so called "experts" in the political field. It boggles my mind how emotionally attached some people get to politicians and what they say. When will people wake up and realize that all politicians LIE. Americans are upset with Obama and his healthcare bill. Well if you wouldn't be fat and maybe do some pushups, you wouldn't have to be concerned with your health on a daily basis. Also, do you think McCain would have been any different??? He would have tried to pass a bill that pissed most Americans off too. For any of you political "experts" reading this I challenge you to throw your hat in the ring and run for president. What? You have no experience in politics? Then how are you an expert? That's right you're not!!!!! Stop acting like you know what will fix this country and it's economy. If there was a quick fix solution as most "experts" feel there is, it would have been done already. These "experts" say, "our president did this wrong, or he didn't do this right" guess what.... He is the president not you, so if you want to do something to change that, win the election. If you've noticed there is a running theme in mist of my posts and that is if you want to change something, don't cry about and do something to change it. Don't complain about how someone else is handling issues because if Americans felt that you could do a better job you'd be in office!!! I'm not saying I agree with everything Obama has done or said, but has there been a recent president that has had a 100% approval rating??? No! I'm sure there are things you do that people do not approve but does that mean you're a bad person?? No! The point I'm trying to make here is, before you criticize how the president does things or any politician does their job, think about if you could do it. It's one thing to sit on the outside and say "I'd do this or I'd do that" but unless you know what you're doing and have the courage to run for office, shut up. So the next time you criticize anyone in politics or any other job and aren't willing to put your money where your mouth is, maybe, just maybe, there will be someone there to tell you to..... Knock that shit off!!!!!!

Weekly Annoyance #3

Ok, it's time to finally address this whole plaid shorts phenomenon. When did it become cool to wear these?? Did I not get the memo?? Was there not a cover letter on my TPS report?? I don't understand what is so great about plaid shorts. I'm not knocking anyone who wears them, what you do in your personal life is not for me to judge, I just want to remind you that they do make other kinds of shorts. I remember when plaid shorts were strictly worn by 70 year old men and older but now they are worn by teenagers?? I am simply asking for an explanation.
I didn't forget about you, mr. "I wear socks with sandals". Seriously?? The whole point of sandals is to not wear socks or shoes. You defy that point and still go through the effort of putting socks on and can't muster up enough energy to put on the shoes so you slip your sock covered feet into sandals?
Wikipedia defines sandals as the following;
Sandals are an open type of outdoor footwear, consisting of a sole held to the wearer's foot by straps passing over the instep and, sometimes, around the ankle. While the distinction between sandals and other types of footwear can sometimes be blurry (as in the case of huaraches—the woven leather footwear seen in Mexico), the common understanding is that a sandal leaves most of the upper part of the foot exposed, particularly the toes. People may choose to wear sandals for several reasons, among them economy (sandals tend to require less material than shoes and are usually easier to construct), comfort in warm weather, and as a fashion choice.
Nowhere in that definition does it say that socks should be worn. This defeats the purpose of wearing the sandals!!!!!!!
So the next time you're wearing plaid shorts and you're not 70, or you're wearing sandals with socks, or in the rare case of wearing plaid shorts with sandals and socks, somebody should tell you to..... Knock that shit off!!!!!
