What annoys you the most

nilbog · Sep 14, 2007, 04:26 PM

What behavior, kind of person, etc. Annoys you the most?

AKaeTrue · Sep 15, 2007, 05:01 PM

OK, so here I go...
This really annoys me.
I make dinner for my family,
I serve everyone and by the time I finish making my plate,
everyone has already gobbled up their food and I'm left sitting there by myself at the dinner table.
OR
I'm cooking something that requires a few being cooked at a time,
as I'm cooking little hands and big hands keep picking at the food,
well, what do you know, when dinner is ready, everyones full...
OR
I try preparing a healthy dinner,
followed the recipe to a tee,
spent a lot of time trying to make it tasty BUT, no one wants to eat that "nasty" stuff they say...
then at 9 o'clock at night when I'm trying to get the kids to bed,
all I hear is "I'm hungry"...over and over again until I make them something to eat...

OK, I'm done...LOL

Kae, I think every mother in the U.S. goes through what you do. You should try sitting and watching T.V. when it's supposed to be dinner time. Your kids will say "Mooooom, aren't you making dinner?" And you can say " You want ME to make dinner? Are you sure? I can't even make the stuff you like." They should start begging you to make them dinner after that, saying "Yes you can, come on mom!" They'll realize what a nice favor you're doing for them every night and stop thinking it's just your job.

(When they grab for food, give them the eye of the tiger and mutter "Dinner.....Is not......Ready." Develop a technique that scares them)

He he...mom on strike sounds good to me...can I start now? LOL

I have one of those looks...everyone tells me i am not intimidating...that really irritates me. My eyes can turn red and it won't even matter...you got some advice for that one...?

Practice in the mirror, haha. My mom had an angry face/evil grin that creeped us out.

startover22 · Sep 15, 2007, 06:27 PM

I tend to laugh at myself when I am mad, or the reason for being mad......I grin a bear it all the time...To tell you the truth, i have made some faces in the mirror...just thinking about it makes me crack up...Poor kids...I hope they turn out ok...their mother is looney...

People that won't move over and let me go by when I'm speeding tjrough a residential area really annoy me. There's too many of them.

AKaeTrue · Sep 15, 2007, 08:40 PM

I try to make a mean face, actually, I think I'm very successful at it.
But, I get laughed at too...boo me...

So, did I hear someone say Strike? Sounds good to me too!
Start, are you with me?

Picket sign....check
Remote control....check (how do I use this thing?)
Bonbons....check
Fuzzy slippers....check check
Fluffy pillow....check
Comfy comfoter....check

Boy, I'm not use to this...I think I'll stay here all day.

Oh no, I just heard my children climb up onto the counter.
They're helping themselves to a snack...
Oops, sounds like they just dropped it and now food is all over the clean floor!

Hmmmm...Dog....check

I'm beginning to like this! Gallivant, this was a great idea!

Kae--
I was a bachelor for ten years, and though I didn't learn to cook much (I ate out a lot and what cooking I did was very spartan), I certainly did learn to appreciate it, and say so, when somebody cooks for me. My wife loves that about me, but she does get tired of cooking and I don't blame her. Some nights she makes herself a bowl of popcorn and I eat whatever I can scrounge. I figure she deserves a night off whenever she wants one. We live 25 miles from town so we don't eat out much.

Kae....I am there...I want a few good movies, or time alone in the car to listen to some dorky music that no one else in the family likes...LOL I will go grab my quilt and some coffee.....I have to wait a day...I have been craving a thanksgiving dinner so I am gonna make it all up today...Hugs...
Cowboy...when Dustin cooks I always tell him it was wonderful and nice of him to do so...You are a nice man to tell her you appreciate her...Hugs
