This happens all the time to me. I think it works like a telephone line, if someone is trying to call you like to feedback or post on one of your subscibed posts, then you get a busy signal like that. What is easy, type a sentence or 2 then send. If you hit the jackpot then hit EDIT and finish the post so you don't forget what you wanted to sayQuote:

How about negative A-holes... they drive me mad! But it sure is nice when you can get them to smile... huh?;)
Sadly, I live in atlanta... and as much as I want to stop and help, I hear WAY too many stories.
I never stop to help motorists. I'm usually a single female, by myself, alone--no way, Jose.
I do, however, call the police :D
I guess because I live in a smaller city, it's more about people snubbing their nose at you. I wouldn't stop in a place like Atl. or say Minn/St Paul either! No way!. no how... not a chance! Remember the story I told you Sneezer? Eeeeekkkk! Scary truck drivers!
Hee hee, Synn... I just had to giggle. You said you are "usually a single female". I can just imagine you driving down the hwy. and seeing a broken down motorist, and popping the trunck, and Bubba or Jose, pops out with a monkey wrench, and says... how can I help you boys? Maybe I've been looking at too many puzzles tonight!. I'm getting silly! ;)Quote:

Parents that buy their kids the cell phones, and then wonder where their kids are because they have turned off their phones, or on both lines and texting their friends and too busy to answer!
REOWR!
Well. Off to help my friend move in.. . keep on reowring.
Have a good day Sneezer!
Construction that starts at 7 AM, after a weekend concert that ended at midnight.
Why is it okay for the city to break the rules about noise ordinance, but not everyone else? I'd like to see the mayor live across the street from this park, frankly.
One more step (back) and you use these old glued sticky fly catcher rolls again...Quote:

You're cruising along a back road/highway, not really expecting the worse to happen when all of a sudden you **SLAM** on your breaks and then think to yourself, 'Gee I need new breaks soon.' Now your stopped. You try to look around the car in front of you just to see what all the commotion is about. You sigh; there are about 100 cars in front of you. After a half an hour goes by, you and the rest of traffic going under 10 mpg finally start to pick up. First 15 then 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and your back on track. By now you are so frustrated. You think to yourself, 'How can I be cruising at such a nice speed, stop for that long and then traffic picks up again? You look around for evidence, hoping to see an accident. About a mile up the road a cop has somebody pulled over. ARG!
Traffic slows down for the stupidest things, I tell you. Drivers automatically think that they will get pulled over by the already occupied cop when they go 5 miles under the speed limit.
When people walk into where I work and they are on their cell phones or texting and can't even get off to tell me what they need or want... how RUDE! I always say goodbye before I start to talk to someone. I think we out of remember our manners people! (unless it is an emergency of course... lol)
I'm guilty of that one! I often talk on my cell phone in the grocery store and Target and the gas station and pretty much anywhere I'm running errands. I live a very long way away from a lot of my friends--in one case, there is a 7 hour time difference. We've got this thing, several of my friends (plus my mom!) and I, where we go shopping "together" by going to the same store and talk on our cell phones.Quote:

Synnen, you know how to act busy in a polite way. Some 'busy' people drive me NUTS! They think that because they have so much work to do that you aren't busy too. They just assume that you will do everything for them.
I got delayed for an extra 15 minutes on my way to work last week because... there was a mattress on the side of the road. Not IN the road, not ON the road, not in the LANE... on the side. Stupid rubberneckers!! :mad:Quote:

When you are driving down the road and look over only to see someone (or someone's kid) picking their nose. Gross! (although my kids have prob. Done it from time to time ;) )
AND-if it is the driver doing it, they tend to then swerve (sp?) all over the road-looking for somewhere to wipe it or flick it.
UGH! I am gagging here-but had to share.
When the garbage men come, and don't take your garbage, because the containers weren't sitting directly on the edge of the lane, and they couldn't be bothered to walk the other foot or for that matter just reach. Then they take the time to leave you a sticker, with a warning to put it out on the very edge of the back lane!
Ok. This may sound dumb, but it has bothered me for years and years...
How in the hell did that girl in the Guns N Roses-November Rain video die?? :confused:
People who eat with there mouth open I have no bloody wish to see what's going on in that hole full of germs thank you.
People who don't take care of there personal hygiene and inflict there stench on others...
I hate it when the toilet paper roll is empty but I didn't notice it until it was too late, that's so annoying for a girl!
Also I hate it when I wash my hands (at home) and go to dry them and the towel is missing, and I have to wipe my hands on my pants, ARGGG!!
My pet peeve's
Parents who have perfected tuning out their brats and don't realize or care their children are running around like savages and annoying everyone in the restaurant or where ever I may. If your kid is 9 and he/she is running around a restaurant I will say something to you!! I have made many a parent walk out of restaurants cursing me out under their breath because I pointed out to control their kid.
Lateness I hate when people are late or if someone makes me late for something that annoys me to no end.
Putting shoes on my couch. I know my couch isn't that expensive but still if you want to put your feet up take off your shoes. I don't know where you have walked and I don't want to sit on it.
People who wear WAY too much cologne/perfume.
I mean, smelling good is fine. Marinating in it is YUCKY!
Milk that goes sour long before the due date!! Yessss, I just took a big gulp! Sorry for the ewwwwww factor!
Ah the loo paper thing is a common occurrence here because my lovely husband has an imunity to putting on a new roll gggrrrrr
Cred, any idea if they still make those? I think I need some of those. ;)Quote:

How do you accidentally brush your teeth KSS? LOL! ;) I know what you mean though! How about grabbing a drink and thinking it's juice, in a dark glass, and finding out it's milk, or something totally unexpected! :eek:Quote:

Oh, I have another! Flyers, junk mail, a mailbox that is stuffed full of crap every single day, even though you have a note posted that says no more flyers please!. and the obvious one that follows that!. people that can't read!
Huh?. car... did I drive here, or did I... wait, what color is my car?. sorry lady, I thought that was mine! And then of course if I happen to find it... keys?. did I bring keys?. I must have brought keys! :rolleyes: :DQuote:

Sneezy, please tell me that's never happened, lie to me if you have to.
I have a sign on my door that says "no solicitors" every week I get someone ringing my bell, usually at 7am, trying to sell me something.
I open the door, they start their speech, I point to the sign, they look at me confused. I explain that I put the sign up for every solicitor, including them. Most times they stare at me confused because they have no idea what solicitor means. Really?
Now I have a dictionary on the step by the door inside my house, when I point to the sign and get a confused look, I open the dictionary, it's earmarked to the correct page, and pass it to them, I wait until they're done reading, say have a nice day and close the door on their poor confused faces. Someone's got to educate these people. ;)
I might be a little politically incorrect here, but the "JW's etc." that come to your door in their suits and ties at 7am on a Saturday or Sunday, and want you to read their litterature, and preach hell fire and damnation!
Starby, really, take my advice, just tell them you're sacrificing a virgin, they'll leave so fast you won't know what hit you. ;)
