cob: lecturers who ask you to bring a loooong list of materials to the practical, when that list isn't likely to be in my bag. Seriously. Why can he not email us? Or tell us the week before? You want us to bring acetate to our practical? Cool. Just more than three hours warning would be good.

i hear you about the dixie cups and other totally pointless disposable stuff, why not get your kids a new tooth brush every time they brush their teeth if you insist they need a new cup! for petes sake! the cup has the exact same germs as the toothbrush!

i am going to add swiffers to that list. they are alright for cleaning small messes like the bathroom floor every once and a while, but my roomie uses them in the kitchen (which just ends up smearing the grease and spilled shit thats dried on the floor) i think swiffers are worthless...whats wrong with a good old fashioned mop?

and while im on this wastefullness kick...

when i see perfectly good recyclable items (especially when theyre not dirty-like juice bottles) in the trash! i just want to lock wasteful people up in their own filth so i wont have to deal with it in the future.

[kinkaju]

People who call and ring the phone a million times and I don't answer, and then they immediately call again two seconds later! As if they think they're going to trick me into answering.
God I have become so anti-phone lol

[dusty]

Anticob: People who block their numbers. Then I don't have to answer.

[culturehandy]

Cob: People who block their phone numbers. I'm not going to fucking answer if I don't know who it is.

[anna k]

Right, kinkaju. I hate it if someone is standing too close to me in a store. I move an inch, they move an inch. I just hate people in my personal space, period.

[kinkaju]

major pet peeve: people who tailgate me while talking on their cell phone

major pet peeve: when I'm looking at something in a store and it could be the most useless, ugly piece of garbage but someone else just HAS to come over and invade my personal space to also look at it, as if they're afraid they're going to miss out on something.

major pet peeve: when someone stands over my shoulder when I'm at my desk

[shinyx3]

the IRS


need i say more?

[culturehandy]

Cob; People who leave 20 messages a day. You know what's it's called when you call me and call me and call me? It's fucking telemarketing. it's month here, it's busy!

[dj-bizmonkey]

i second the ralph nader cob. what a megalomaniac.

[grrrlyouwant]

cob: look honey, we all know your paranoid germaphobe ass is far to precious to actually sit down on the toilet seat even with the dubious protection of the tissue-paper liner, but for fuck's sake, if the seat looks like it was just visited by an epileptic old man with palsy when you're through, squat closer to the target, and give it a courtesy wipe when you're done. or did you really think the next person to go in would mistake big yellow blobs of your germ-filled pee for backwash from the high-power flush? uh, here's a clue: no.

[culturehandy]

Cob: People who listen to their iPod's too loud. I hate fity cent. I wouldn't listen to him, so why would I want to listen to you listening to him?

Cob: People who chew on their finger nails then spit them out. Gross.

Cob: People who chew on toothpicks when they are done with them. Actually, people who pick at their teeth in public kinda creep me out. I don't want to know what is stuck in your back molar.

[zoya]

I actually like Ralph Nader, but I really hate the fact that he's decided to run for president. He's NOT going to win, and all it's going to do is split off people who would probably vote Democratic (I was going to say "for Obama" but that's jumping the gun a little..) and it could, once more, tip the balance. THAT makes me nuts.

[konphusion26]

Cob: Ralph Nader

[kinkaju]

Ugh how obnoxious. I hate that condescending attitude.

Along a similar line, I have a woman at work who constantly refers to me as "sweetheart" and "honey" and repeats exactly what I just said and acts like she was the one who came up with the idea and that she's "learning me a thing or two." Plus she's a fake bitch who has that fake laugh and smile and totally patronizes me, as if I'm too stupid and poor to know that she's even doing it.

I haven't figured out a way to safely get her back at this yet, besides avoiding her every chance I get.

[treehugger]

Big, huge, prickly cob....self righteous baby fucking boomers.

I was at a party today, I only knew the guest of honor...she said to me in front of her other friends, "happy birthday"...I said, yeah, it was the big 4-0....and the baby boomer women (all over fifty) started mocking me like, rubbing their eyes, crying, like "oh, cry me a river"...and I was thinking to myself, "I wasn't complaining, I was just stating a milestone for me."
They totally were condescending toward me and I felt awful.

Bitches.

I'm sorry, is your father dead? Is your mother in a nursing home with alzheimers disease and calling you "mommy"??? Until that time you have no fucking right to denigrate me.

I just hate that. It seems like that particular generation has been spoonfed this whole "I am special" garbage and they believe it and now if anybody is younger they aren't worthy.

This is why I get bitter.

*no offense to any non self-righteous baby boomers here....

[hellotampon]

Start marketing them, CH. You'll be rich!

[culturehandy]

Why not just trot your kid around in a plastic bubble.

[dj-bizmonkey]

second and third to hellotampon and culture about over-sanitizing. i wonder why we now have anti-biotic resistant strains of tuberculosis, syphyllis, etc. here's a tip. wash your filthy little hands. you can just rinse the bacteria off, you don't have to annihilate it.

cob: me being to busy when i got out of the car to remember my umbrella. now it's pouring rain and i have to walk 10 blocks to an appointment.

cob: new olreans total failure to re-engineer two failing pumping stations, so not only am i soaked from above, i'm wading through a foot of water.

[konphusion26]

COB: People who send those annoying azz chain letter emails; then when you tell them you HATE forwards, they laugh, smile, and say "I know me too!" , then send you 5 more forwards instructing you to send it to 5000000 other people or you'll have bad luck for the next 10 yrs.

They just don't get it!
