    What makes it even worse-is when people who can't sing do this.

    Yeah, well... I can sing if I want to, even though my singing stinks.

    I know all the lyrics, though.

    Hey my singing stinks too, but I don't try to make people sick with it when we are riding in one vehicle together. ;)

    People who get up and sing karaoke, and actually think people are laughing because they are enjoying themselves!

    Of course I wouldn't know anything about this, because I have a wonderful singing voice. I'm sure people aren't clapping because they are happy I'm getting off the stage? :p LOL!

    What I hate the most, is people that go to karaoke, and sing the same three flippin songs every single time they go!

    You all crack me up. :)

    Synn, really, my procrastinating is with things like cleaning my house, getting my hair cut, buying a new bra. It really only affects me. ;)

    I really need a new bra. :(

    People who come up to you and say... You look tired... are you tired? Oh thanks for pointing that out to me! :p Sometimes I feel like saying... you look a little heavy today... are you full? ;)
  • Aug 20, 2008, 10:26 AM

    Yeah... I know that feeling, Alty. That's why I laughed so hard.

    Not as bad as...

    "whoa, sneezy...you look like $hit...you ok?"

    Or

    "good lord, you look like hell, what happened?"

    Um, well you see... I was sleeping with your overweight wife while drinking your cheap liquor... and... your kid kept calling me "dada" and I was fighting him off all night. That's just it. I didn't get much sleep.

    In the "you look tired" spirit...

    When someone says to you "are you grumpy?" or "are you in a bad mood?"... well sure, yeah, now I am. Never claimed to be little mr sunshine, but asking me if I'm pi$$y pretty much slides me right into that slot... I'm at least mr almost chaffed after that.

    Which of course plays off the "are you mr pi$$ypants today?" comment my wife made once when I was stomping around and muttering, as I've mentioned before... yeah... yeah id pretty much say I was mr pi$$ypants once you put it out on the table.

    However, I'm digging all the bra talk.

    I had a feeling you'd like the bra talk KP. ;)

    I'm going shopping this week, off to find a new bra. I have a hard time shopping for one, I'm an odd size, 32 DD, most DD's are for 36 and over. I usually have to go to a specialty store and pay a small fortune for a bra. Also, I can't wear lace, I get hives. :(

    Right now my two bras, yes two, are falling apart. Because I only have two I have to wash them allot, and of course that makes them wear faster than normal. If I ever find a great bra that fits, for a good price , I'm buying half a dozen. ;)

    So, a new pet peeve, having to spend allot of money on a necessity like a bra because I'm an odd size. :(

    Heh... try for a DDD sometime.

    Peeve: Victoria's Secret doesn't believe in anything bigger than a C cup.

    So I have a gift card to Victoria's Secret (don't ask... long story).

    I can not find ANYTHING there that fits me. Even their pajama bottoms are designed for the butts of 10 year olds. But I'm wandering through, looking for ANYTHING, and the sales clerk tells me, straight faced, "oh, most of our customers as old as you just spend gift cards on lotions and perfume".

    I'm 33, for god's sake!

    /grumbles.

    I would have turned around and said well my policy is to smack all sales girls your age upside the head!. ::evil grin::
  • Aug 20, 2008, 03:10 PM
    Alty
    OMG Synn, that's ridiculous. So what are they saying, that anyone over 15 doesn't want sexy lingerie that fits? Arrrrrrr! :(

    We should protest. ;)
  • Aug 20, 2008, 03:12 PM
    Synnen
    Well, what's TRULY hilarious about this is that the long story about the gift card is that I got it complaining about their customer service to begin with.

    That's sad. I think all us larger breasted women should go to Victoria Secret together, arms locked, and complain! Hell no we won't go, hell no we won't go! :)
  • Aug 20, 2008, 03:38 PM
    Synnen
    Nah... I just don't go there anymore.

    I've called them on it several times over the years, and they always CLAIM they are working on a "larger women's" selection, but I'm offended by that term as well.
  • Aug 20, 2008, 03:59 PM
    Alty
    Larger? Ya, that offends me too. I do have big breasts, but I'm not "large". Grrrrr! ;)

    When you go to see male strippers, and you only have a pocket full of Loonies or Toonies to stuff in. (eh, lol) Ooopppsss! I guess that isn't a peeve... that would be a plus when you look at it right! How much more weighed down can those thongs get? :p

    (I suppose we could tip with a roll of quarters?)

    Ran into another pet peeve today: People that must back straight out of a parking place and clear the front of the vehicle before turning the wheels.
  • Aug 21, 2008, 12:58 AM
    kp2171
    Since parking was mentioned...

    My wife was with her boss headed out to lunch and she pulled into the lot and proceeded to back in to her parking spot, as she often does, at my urging. It takes a little longer sometimes to slip in and she sometimes takes the clearer, more open spot that's a few cars further away from the door.

    He, clearly annoyed by her habit, asked smartly if she did this so everyone could get a better view of her shiny grill and detailed headlamps. This had become a pet peeve of his.

    Once into the spot she explained she did this for two reasons... first, often when you survey a spot you get a good overall glance of your surroundings and know where pedestrians are. Backing in with a better awareness of the area was safer than backing out after contorted glances with bad sightlines within the cabin, often with little awareness of the area after getting in, putting keys in, etc... after all, many little kids couldn't be clearly seen through the back window of the truck... so she does it, in part, to avoid hitting an errant child when leaving.

    Second, the battery is in the front of the car. Should the car need jumped, facing outward is the best bet for easy access.

    Being a father of three wild, unpredictable boys, and being that his job, in part, is tied some to forcasting risk, he apparently he shut the heck up and never mentioned it again.

    Parents that are too busy on their cellphones texting or talking, and let their kids run out of a store into a busy parking lot, and then scream and swear (in front of their kids) at the drivers, calling THEM irresponsible!
