Shit that annoys you...

[DanaC]

anyone who buys from telemarketers.
They are BAD PEOPLE!!!!!!

No they're not. The people who employ them may be....but the ones making the calls are just people trying to earn a wage and feed their families. Telemarketing requires no qualifications, no experience etc....it's a job you can get if you can't get any other job. I know, because I have done that job. I never just hang up, but I don't buy either. I say to them straight away (sometimes interrupting their spiel) "I am not interested, don't waste your time on me, call someone who might give you a sale".

What annoys me? People who call telemarketers evil. They're just people earning a wage.

I worked as a telemarketer, selling foreign lottery tickets. I didn't stay long because it definitely was evil work.
I don't answer my home phone unless I know who it is and I feel like talking to them... which is almost never.

Saturday Night Live

Butler: Lord and Lady Doucebag!

Lord Salisbury: Well, well, well.. I was just asking Lord Sandwich, "Where the devil are those Douchebags?"

Lady Doucebag: Well, it has been impossible to get him out of his workshop! He has been working day and night.

Lord Salisbury: You, Douchebag? Well, I wasn't aware you dabbled in that sort of thing. What in heaven's name are you working on?

Lord Doucebag: Well, I would be happy to tell you.. but perhaps after you have finished eating.

Lord Salisbury: Well, here is Chambers right now. Would you like something to eat?

Lord Doucebag: We're not too hungry right now - just a plate of raw vegetables.

Lord Salisbury: Would you like some dresing with that?

Lady Doucebag: Just some vinegar and water, thank you.

Earl of Sandwich: Douchebag, how are you? I haven't seen you in the House of Lords in ages! Don't tell me for the first time in memory we are going to have a House of Parliament without a Douchebag?

Lord Doucebag: My dear Sandwich, Parliament has always had its share of Douchebags, and it always will.

Lord Salisbury: Spoken like a true Douchebag. I have often heard the King speak of your family.. [ to Earl of Sandwich ] ..and of yours, as well: "Give me a Sandwich and a Douchebag, and there is nothing I cannot do."

Earl of Sandwich: Hear, hear!

Lord Salisbury: So, tell me, Douchebag.. when are you going to show us that invention of yours?

Earl of Sandwich: Yes, Douchebag, just what kind of an invention are you sitting on?

Lord Doucebag: Well, it's a long story. Why don't we go out to the garden, and I'll explain it to you.

Earl of Sandwich: Tell me - did Lady Douchebag help you in the project?

Lord Doucebag: Help? Why.. she was the inspiration!

[ they exit to the garden to discuss the wondrous invention ]

HR departments and management that take 6 months to figure out who they want to hire. I'd settle for a "signs point to yes" or a "not fucking likely, jack-ass."

[Perry Winkle]

When people say, "Damn, you're a big guy. No offense."

I mean, I am a big guy, so unless you're calling me fat I'm not going to be offended. But when you add that "no offense" part, it seems to me that you were thinking something offensive when you said it.

when people say obvious but pronounce it oDvious

[Aliantha]

I don't know anyone who says odvious although it made me laugh when i saw it. I'm sure there are some people that say it. lol

When you go to the grocery store and plain white tortillas are on your list. The wall of tortillas has every conceivable kind of tortilla: tomato basil, garlic, spinach and onion, pomegranate, etc. etc. but no plain white. When will those damn trendy wraps fall out of fashion?

The laundromat that April and I go to lets you dry for free. I'm not sure how the timers work on them, but the dryers seem to cut out if they get to a certain temperature, rather than having a countdown timer. Sometimes they'll go for over an hour...other times, a couple of minutes. Fucking irritating as all hell.

Friend or person who's home I am in: Would you like something to drink?
Me: No thanks, I'm not thirsty.
We have root beer
No thanks
We have wine
No thanks
Bottled water
No thanks
It's cold
No thank you, I'm fine
It's no trouble
Really, I had something on the way
I really don't mind, I'm going to have some
...sure... I'd love some

[Kagen4o4]

you can end it at the start by saying.
"not at the moment but i'll grab it or let you know when im thirsty, thanks"

I'd just take what's offered, then promptly throw it at them. Then beat the shit out of them and say, "Look fucker! I told you I didn't want anything! Next time, listen, you fucknut!" Then I'd calmly sit down and pretend nothing had happened.

Just got back from grocery shopping. I hate when people block the whol fucking aisle as if nobody needs to get by, like they're the only person in the store. I just push their cart out of the way with my cart - if they look at me, I say excuse me.
