I thought this might be a little amusing. Keep in mind, it's not meant to offend anyone. I'll start and then everyone can jump in with their own observations about the world in general. Like this:

1. What is up with the stick-figure family stickers on the backs of SUVS? How stupid can you get? And the CAT too?

2. Why does the dude behind you in line always have bad breath?

3. Why does one person in the office always seem to have the world's most annoying laugh and find everything funny?

You know when texting lingo has gone too far when, you say something funny and the person says "lol" instead of laughing.

1. What is up with the stick-figure family stickers on the backs of SUVS? How stupid can you get? And the CAT too?

Lol - what happens when they get a divorce? Do they go out with a scraper and remove one of the spouses.

[greylove]

LOTS of LAUGHS, lynn!! "Do they go out with a scraper and remove one of the spouses?" That struck me so funny.........it was too good to let go by!!! .

^^^^^(((Lynn)))!!!that is sooo good!!! Good idea for a thread, ladyjrnlist--thanks!!!

How much does it cost the stupidmarket to hire people to put sticky thingies on each piece of fruit?--if they didn't waste the money on that, do ya think fruit might be cheaper???

[Open Eyes]

yeah, I hate those sticky things too, I don't like the time it takes to get it off the fruit either, or even worse, not seeing it until you feel something in your mouth that you know is not fruit.

But as always it is probably put there so that that right price is applied to that specific fruit including the price of that little sticker.

LOL theodora - can you imagine having the job in the 'stupidmarket' (good one) of putting the stickers on all the fruits and veggies. Ever got a salad and see the stickers still on a piece of tomato..... I have?

[OurLadysTears]

Why is it that a whole isle could be empty except for one shopper and they always happen to be right in front of the item that you want to grab?

Why is it that when you are browsing a certain area in the store for clothes, etc. there always seems to be one person who feels the need to start looking at the same clothes right night to you and it is like they are trying to challenge you to the waiting game to see who will move out of the way first?

[Open Eyes]

Oh and why is it that even when I make the effort to leave early to get somewhere on time I always get behind a slow Joe and there is no passing zones for miles.

And did you ever notice that no matter how much you try to space things apart so that you can handle them one at a time, it always has to come all at once.

What is even worse is when you are already running late and you get caught behind someone slow! Ugh! I hate that.

And yes, when it rains, it pours!

Okay, I requested that my three free credit reports be sent to me.(my printer and I are on the outs)
I finally got down to the mailbox today.

"Cool", says I; "I have all three!"
Equifax--yup, Experian---yup--------------Trans Union .......................

Why would they send me a piece of mail here and then want PROOF that I live here?

ya know, there's always one.

[Sanada]

Ehh, I don't know, I think they're cute. We got some for our camper.........

[filensave]

-What is with stop signs not being at the edge of the road where I can actually see oncoming traffic? (Okay I actually know an answer for this...but still...)

-Why is it when you don't want to be early you are always wicked early but when you can't be late you make it there by the skin of your teeth?

Stick people have got to go! I find them annoying but what really bothers me is when people have their childrens names under them talk about not being safe!!

[gma45]

Why is it when you are driving behind someone slow and you finally get to a passing lane they always speed up?

[ladyjrnlist]

Why is it people still insist on commenting "it's hot out here" when it's August and we all have that figured out?

[Indie'sOK]

Why is it that people insist on using "lol" when something isn't even funny?

Me, to friend: My grandma just died.....
Friend: oh that sucks lol

Really? True story too.

[Open Eyes]

Why do people insist on lying? I did a job for a company and they told me they sent out a check. I didn't get the check and they insisted they mailed it. I still didn't get it two weeks of waiting. I spoke to them today and they said they just got it in returned mail. Ok, I would believe that had they not sent me mail many times before and managed to get contracts out to me and I get them in the mail in either the next day or two.

I know they just used the money they got paid for my job to pay their bills and float while making me wait. I also know they make clients pay in advance before I do a job. I told them fine, send me the envelope with the return stamp on it, they said "Oh no we already shredded that". And then they asked me if I was acusing them of lieing. And this isn't the first time they have blamed the post office for me not getting my check. And that job was hard over 90 degrees with a heat index of 105 and no shade and my eyes got sunburn for the first time in my life.

I really hate when people lie and then make me out to be the bad guy when I call them on it. It is a big trigger for me, it has happened too many times to me. I have been dealing with a big fat lier next door that has left me with a mountain of bills and damages, tells the truth and then finds out the terrible damage and just lies.

And the two are connected because if I didn't have to work to barely pay the interest on the debt created by my neighbor I would not do any more work for this company that makes me wait to get paid and lies about it.

And I can't be nice about it because all that does is give the company permission to just use me again and LIE.

Vent over, bad day today

As a person with freakishly wide and flat feet, I can so identify with your comments.

[ladyjrnlist]

I hate liars too. But the shoe thing definitely gets me. Happens all the time!

I wouldn't say "always" (thought it does make a more dramatic effect), but often, yes. I often speed up when someone passes me. Rationally, when I see someone passing I look at my speed and if I see that I am going a bit slow I will speed up.

But irrationally:
1) socially conditioned sense of competition
I am not competitive, and whenever I find myself in that scenario consciously I refuse to play, still if I don't pay attention it sneaks up on me. I sensed a little competitive reaction from myself on the road more than one occasion.

2) imagined judgments
I found myself reacting to being passed as if I was being judged to be slow, or pokey, "another woman driver", etc. Amazing how much I believe I can read people's minds, eh?

It's all rather entertaining to see what kind of crap passes for thinking when I don't pay much attention.

[saywhat?]

Why is it that every time I sit down to relax for a minute the dogs decide they want out or in? Who taught them to bark so annoyingly if I ignore them??? How rude!

Why do you need to have money to keep money?
