Must Go: Blogs or websites that block you from using the back button to leave their site. It just keeps refreshing their site. I have to use the drop down menu – and doesn’t my poor mouse hand get enough exercise already?

… people that yell at me about how much Jesus loves me

… people who activate sticky keys on a laptop and then get so frustrated they walk away

… people who send goofball messages from my computer when I leave it unlocked for 5 minutes

… WordPress plugins that suddenly lock me out of my site or quickly bring it down without warning

… waking up at 5 am with a stuffy nose and other allergy symptoms, only to be tired all day

People who judge unfairly based upon looks or stereotypes… instead of what’s on the inside.

Thanks for the giveaway!

First, work. No explanation needed.
Second, gray hair! No explanation needed.
Third, aging! No explanation needed.

Maybe if I stopped the first one, the other two would slow down!

Crazy, inconsiderate drivers. Blogs that automatically plays music when you load their page. People who keep on asking you when you’re getting a baby, especially when you have told them millions of times that you’re not trying yet!

Well, for starters I totally agree with your cellphone comment. I am just about ready to get nervy enough to yank the phone out of the hand of the person, snap it shut and say, “Do your business with this clerk or get the heck out of line.” At our post office, if you are talking on the phone, they just say, “next”. I love it!

And then there are the CLERKS who keep talking to other clerks while they are ringing you up. They carry on a nonstop conversation as if you are not even there. If you pay by credit card they do not even need to stop to tell you how much it costs. They just flip the little gizmo around to show you your total and keep going. I’m like, “hello, this isn’t Russia or something.”

When I was a little girl, clerks in stores were paid on commission. They brought you another size in the dressing room and then rang up your order so their salesclerk # would show up on the sale. Of course, clothes back then cost just about what they do now even though minimum wage was $2.35 or whatever. But clothes weren’t made in China or some third world country; they were made here, mostly. Then the unions priced them out of reach (in my opinion). So now even the “nice” stores at the mall don’t have any service. If you want someone to fetch you another bra size so you don’t have to completely redress, bring you mother!

Thanks for the giveaway.

The “baby fat” I gained with my 2 pregnancies has got to go!.
Ummm, my last “baby” is almost 3! Seriously, the excuses just never stop. But I NEED the calcium in my nightly bowl of ice cream. Don’t I?

Nurses who don’t/won’t take the best care of their hospital patients, especially when the patient is my sister.
Summer stress for teachers who need to recharge their batteries for the upcoming school year.
Rising gasoline prices.

Business (or their employees) who no longer think customer service is a priority. It’s bad enough to see someone in a store talking on a phone, but when you’re ready to check out and they don’t get off the phone, that’s a problem. I usually just walk out and take my business elsewhere.
One other thing that must go… disrespectful teens. Whatever happened to raising your kids to respect their elders??? Did I miss the memo?
