Tee hee!

News reporters who ask dumb questions - perfect example - reporter asking homeowner who is watching their home burn to the ground: "how do you feel right now?" (my response: "I feel like punching your lights out for asking such an insensitive, moronic question. How do you think I feel?") Homeowner's response last night to reporter: "totally numb."

We had a huge wild fire rip through Boise last night. 10 homes totally destroyed, another 20 unlivable. One life lost, 17 police officers hospitalized due to smoke inhalation while evacuating residents, and 1 firefighter hospitalized for injuries sustained during the fire. It looks like a war zone.

Reporters were running around interviewing the evacuated residents asking stupid questions. That's always been my pet peeve. I was impressed with a lot of the residents who were refusing to talk to the reporters. This was all live feed last night.
yeah, stupid reporters asking stupid and redundant questions.

I remember watching news briefings during the First Gulf War. General Schwarzkopf was answering questions, and there was almost always several reporters who would ask a question that was either stupid, or a re-phrasing of a question that was asked and answered earlier in the briefing. You could just see General Schwarzkopf thinking "duh...you moron, you've already asked that question 3 times in three different ways. Do you think the answer will change in 5 minutes???" Schwarzkopf had to have a really good grasp on his patience.

I hate that, too. I asked my son once what the police do when reporters get in the way. He just looked at me and said "you really don't want to know!".

Satisfied me!

parents who turn their children lose upon the world. wal mart, Kmart, grocery stores, video stores, or just out in public. As soon as they get out of the car, the parents turn a blind eye, a deaf ear, and act like its YOU that has the problem when their child runs you over to get to the video game demo section in wal mart.

people who push me! not physically touch me, but get up behind me to rush me. TRUST ME, I am moving as fast as I can. I dont like the fact that you are now standing close enough to know what size my underwear is. If I could move any faster, I would! or being bumped in the check out line by anothers cart. bump "Oh, Im sorry" bump "oh dear, Im sorry"

QFT (quoted for truth).

I had a young boy who's mother was too busy in her own world letting the kid run around run into my stationary shopping card, and of course he hurt himself.

Well mom comes over to young boy who's almost in tears (it looked like it must have hurt) and gives me the evil eye. UH? Not my fault you're so engrossed with the baking section that your kid is unattended running around like a tumbleweed.

amen Sally those dang commercials at night, omg
I had heard a few years back that the FCC was going to ban them being able to adjust the volume of commercials, they were only going to be able to broadcast the commercials as loud as the show they were being aired on... so much for that

FG does the new phone ring? hope so

Drivers who don't know that they can speed up when their cruise is on; especially the ones who think they have some magical right to occupy the left lane without yielding to traffic for scores of miles!

People who think that they are above the law.

Being asked what I'm doing when I'm obviously reading a book!

People calling me just to kill time during a commute, then, upon their arrival, abruptly cut the call in the middle of a conversation.

When a person says "yah. yah. yah. yah." really fast throughout my sentence (if you already know, don't ask me).

I realize some folks would have a problem, but the ones I am talking about are the ones that continually leave their grocery carts in the middle of parking spots so that you have to get out and move it a foot or two into the cart holding spaces so that you can park. Plumb laziness!

All of the above, so far.

Add people who don't clean up after their pooches, and/or let them do their business on the neighbor's lawn. If I wanted dog poop, I'd go buy some.
