or when you call up an automated line and it says " after the tone, say what you're calling about"

and even though you say it really clearly, it then says, " I'm sorry, I didn't get that."

and you have to say it again and again until it works
Thanks for this!

When people think a movie or TV show is just something to have on in the background while they constantly talk. It's OK if *they* don't want to watch it, but *I'm* trying to watch it, so please let me.

when you are looking forward to watching a dvd, it arives, you go to put it on and find out that it's the wrong region and will not play in your player

I never understood regions anyway. a dvd's a dvd, you never have that issue with audio cds

I get irked when something falls out of the freezer and my mom makes a big deal out of it. It happens a lot. Today a frozen TV dinner fell out and she asked if it broke. I sort of snapped at her and said nothing broke. How does a frozen solid TV dinner even break?

People who are bitter because they are spending Thanksgiving alone so they try to bring other people down with obnoxious Facebook memes.

People who hate Christmas so they do everything possible to try and make Christmas miserable for everyone else around them.
I really enjoy this time of year so I’m not going to let anyone else ruin it for me.

That story I just read about a school in the UK that is banning kids from wearing expensive coats so other kids won’t feel bad because they can’t afford them. That’s just life though. People are always going to have better things then you do. You just have to work hard when you are older so you can buy them yourself. This is exactly what happened to me. Everyone in grade school had Tommy Hilfiger clothes and Converse and Vans shoes. I had Walmart clothes and knockoff high tops. I got made fun of a lot for my clothes. Now I have worked hard so I can afford North Face jackets and Vans. But I never thought to go to the school and complain about how unfair it was.

people who have so much of an interest in something, they ignore what you say (unless it is about that interest)

I know someone who is obsessed with dogs who won't even say hi to you, or smile at you, or look at you- if you don't, at some point, mention the words dogs, labradors, kennels and walkies in the same sentence

FYI, I had this problem with my condo and too many other places - I invested in these "cleats" that you put on your shoes. You absolutely will not fall on ice and I have found you don't even need to put both on, just one to keep you stable. Yaktrax traction cleats - you can get on amazon.
Thanks for this!

Do you remember a weird show called The Brothers Garcia? I watched it because I watched everything on Nickeloden back then, but I guess it’s on lists of weird kids shows.

I still watch some Nickeloden.
Haha. Ginger was certainly one of my favs! It's a classic for me. I also really like The Amanda Show. I watched a lot of Nickalodeon as well but sadly can't remember The Brothers Garcia for some reason. It may be because I am slightly older (I was in my pre to early teens when I'd binge Nickalodeon) One show that I remember and loved that no one else seems to remember is "Yvon of the Yukon". My sister and I would watch it alllll the time but it didn't last long. And ofcourse there were the classics like Rugrats and Spongebob. Those were some real good times... once in a while I'll search up these old shows on youtube for a hit of nostalgia

And sorry, I just saw your reply!
Thanks for this!

People that are rude, inconsiderate and feel as if laws, rules and social etiquette simply do not apply to them ... Especially drivers that act in a reckless manner with no forethought about the dangers they are putting themselves and others in just because they feel that where they need to be is more important than where anyone else needs to be ... Not only irksome, THEY SUCK!

I can understand saying a few choice words during times of stress, anger, etc. I do it too.

But when somebody cusses constantly, and they're not even mad, it's just the way they talk... after a while, I start wondering. Do they not know any other words? I've even heard the f-word as a generic placeholder or stutter, the way people might use "um" and "ah." As in, "I've lived here for..... (casually says f-word while adding it up)..... six years." Why is that necessary?

People who think it’s necessary to say really personal stuff on Facebook. Why is it necessary to say you just got out of the mental health hospital or saying you are on meds?

Losing the end of the Saran wrap (plastic cling wrap). If you manage to find it again, it takes ages!

It was at my staff Xmas Party last night. It was a really great night except the same guy won three of the prizes - including a 77in television (yep you read that right, my company provided a massive TV). There had been enough prizes for everyone to get one but his winning three of them left two of us empty handed. I am miffed about being one of them. A bit unfair don't you think?
