ALSO... and this is thanks to the confusing addiction that is MySpace.com...

I've noticed several people who I went to highschool with who refer to "Fenton, Missouri" as "F-Town, Missouri".

Stop it. I beg of you. It's lame.

It's one thing to stop. It's another to turn and see you, then continue to take their sweet time.

Or when people stop right next to another stopped cart, stopping all traffic flow in the lane.

Or when people lead their kid by the hand along next to their cart, thus taking up the entire lane. Then of course they walk REALLY slow, because they can't steer their cart with one hand very well. And they refuse to pull the kid to the side and let you through.

I really despise grocery shopping. The whole ordeal frustrates me.

People that use the word "like" in their sentences entirely too much:

And I was like... and then she was like... and then we were like...

It's like, creepy.

People who turn their signals on and then forget to turn them off.

My dsyleixc fingers, batsards!

People that will not get over when they aren't passing someone and there are obviously people who want to go faster piled up on their tailgate.

Oh, and people that walk into my office and make it a point to walk around my desk and look at my computer screen to see what I am doing. The boss is one thing, but everyone else can go sit and spin!

People who say excuse me in that tone of voice that is only used to say get the f@#! out of my way. I am sorry, is my presence in this world an inconvenience to you. I was looking it the frozen case at Costco Saturday when a "lady" walked up, yelled excuse me, and then opended the door in my face and grabbed a 30 lb box of bacon. Gee, I am sorry I was in the way of your bacon binge beeoch. I mean, I know bacon is you know bacon and all, and it was 30 lbs of it, enoughto make fatbulldog roll over and play dead, but I would have moved without you getting all huffy.

I like it when people say, "That's your opinion."


Oddly enough, the opinions expressed via my mouth are usually mine.

How about the people that say you're sitting in their seats at the stadium when in fact they have no clue where the heck their own seats are?

At Busch II, my friend and I were sitting in the bleachers when this old guy with a rattail and a gold stud earring came up to us, gave us a not-so-gentle jab on the shoulder, and then gave us the "scoot over" motion with his hand.

I then pulled out my ticket stub, proved that I was in fact in the right place and that his seat was in the next section, and gave him the "scoot over" motion.

=D>

Couldn't agree more! I hate when people state the obvious:

"Hey! You're here!" Am I? Or am I just hallucinating?

"Hey I called you twice!" And I didn't answer twice!

"Do you want another beer?" Does a bear crap in the woods!

:D
