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 say

Also the smell, yuck, burnt fly is not a pleasant odor. ;)

It is fun to zap fruit flies though, they spark. :)

I still prefer the old $1.00 plastic fly swatter, even though you have to be careful where you aim when smacking them, I've lost a few treasures using one of those contraptions.

I ended up with extremely obese toads hanging around my bug zapper to party:eek: , and they scream when you swat them with a fly swatter. Yellow sticky flypaper, the cat gets herself tangled up in.

Ohhhh, in Oregon they do this at the gas stations and I wonder why in the hell can't I pump my own gas? I agree with this one!:)

How about when you are driving alone, and get a flat tire, or are having car probs, and people drive by and either pretend not to look, or they start laughing? That's always a nice one.

I pull over... I know its not safe... tell me not to do it and well, I may skip a few here and there but not all!

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! ;)

Just added one this morning...

Little girls who have extremely expensive gadgets and don't know how to work them in the first place... i.e. - a blackberry.

... Parents, DO NOT... buy your kid a $400 phone if all they want to do with it is take pictures and listen to music and spend another $150 a month on texting.. . it pisses the rest of us off who actually use the phone for its functional uses.

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...

Ooo I got a good one...

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.

I figure that if, as a childless person, I have to deal with the rudeness of screaming children in the store then other people can put up with me on my phone.

I do, however, put the person on the phone on "hold" when I need to speak with a clerk or cashier.

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.
