Want to know what else chaps my hide? No? Too bad.
It pisses me off when a person starts dating someone new, and they fall off the face off the earth. I understand about new relationships... how exciting it is... all the passion... wanting to spend time with them... blah blah blah. What I don't understand is why some people completely forget about their friends. You know, the people they've known and been friends with for years. The people that know them better than anyone else. The people who pick them back up when they get dumped. Especially if the s.o. tells you not to hang out with them anymore. That's just the beginning of months, years, decades of being controlled. Fuck that.
Also, the changing of personalities. There is a difference between looking at yourself and deciding some changes need to be made and changing because the person you are dating wants you to. I'm not perfect. I've dated some super losers in the past. But I have never, ever changed who I am for anyone, nor have I expected them to change for me. If someone doesn't love you because of who you are, then it's just not going to work. Or you are going to end up miserable.
Please, guys, grow a spine and go get your balls out of her purse. Ladies, grow a back bone and roar.

Old Navy Commercials
Old Navy commercials used to be cute and, for a commercial, somewhat enjoyable.
What the fuck is going on with the commercials?? Did they hire someone new? Some person who is all about the cheese? Every time one of their commercials comes on tv, my teeth automatically start to grind against each other.
http://youtu.be/kD_9JFM67Bo
The above is one of the first new commercials I saw. It made me want to gag. Rock that dress in the day time? Something about an ATM and glitter? Aaaaaaaah yuck.
And now... NOW... they are using 80s songs, but changing the lyrics.
http://youtu.be/f2d67_USMCw
Holy crap. That and the bowling commercial makes me want to shove pencils in my eyes and ears. It also, unfortunately, makes me want to boycott them. Their jeans don't fit me well anyway, so maybe that's not such a big loss.

Neighbors
I'm sure you think your car alarm is super awesome, and that you think it's a great idea to show it off. But, uhhhh, maybe you could have shown your buddy all it's power and glory when you arrived earlier tonight, instead of at 11pm? And 11:10... and 11:15... and 11:19... and 11:20... and 11:21. I'm sure the people next door with the new baby think it's bitchin'. Along with anyone else who was sleeping.
Of course, these are the same people who apparently think the neighborhood wants to hear their whiny kids running around screaming and hollering at 11:30. Which is what is a happenin' right now.
Ooooh, common sense, where have you gone?

Turn Signals & Lack Thereof
One of my Dad's pet peeves was drivers who didn't use their turn signal.
A common phrase we heard A LOT: "I work for Ford, so I know they put turn signals on *insert name of car here*."
It seems this pet peeve has been inherited, because holy shit! How lazy does a person have to be where it's a chore to raise your arm up a bit and nudge a plastic bar? Or did I miss the memo saying using your turn signals is so not cool? Like, as if.
Regardless, it's annoying. They put turn signals on a car for a fucking reason. That fucking reason is to alert those behind you that they'll probably be slowing down soon or moving into the same lane as you. Just a little heads up.
It's a good thing they don't give us the option of using brake lights. Unless of course your brake lights are burnt out. Which is an entirely other blog post.

Crocs.
Let me start off by saying... I HATE CROCS!!!! Yes, inanimate objects can be annoying too.
Son of a bitch! I HATE THEM!
I am amazed at how popular they are. I can only assume this is because "But they are so comfortable!" I'm sorry, but nothing can be THAT comfortable that you are willing to wear something so hideous. Surely there are other, better looking shoes that are just as comfy. And not only are people subjecting themselves to this gawd awfulness, they are putting these horrid things on their children's feet! Why? Because it's easy to get on and off. Lazy!!
There is even a store in some mall that only sells Crocs. It's a good thing there isn't one here. I might end up on the news for throwing rotten eggs at them.
Anywho, when they first started out, they had one basic design:
*shudder*
I can't help but think these things have got to make your feet super stinky. Granted, it has air holes, but what if it rains? Screwed!
After a while sales apparently declined, because there was talk of the Crocs company going bankrupt. Oh how happy that news made me! I might have even shed a tear. Or two.
Oh, but they weren't going down without a fight. They came back and decided to come out with more designs, such as:
Want to know the name of those? The first is the "Sexi Flip" and the second is the "Sexi Sling Back". *blank face* Those are sexy? Maybe if you're a 60 year old mumu wearing crazy cat lady. For everyone else, not so much.
You want to know what really chaps my hide?
*thud*
Let me stop for a second and explain that I am a big fan of Converse. I have somewhere around 10 pairs of Chucks. And I love them. So, when I saw that these bastards of the shoe world dared put out a tennis shoe that resembles Chucks, I about fell out of my seat. Hey, fuckers! Why don't you just stick to your crappy sandals and stinky clogs, and stop stealing real shoe company designs.
I wonder how many people will be browsing through their photo albums 10, 20 years from now and gasp at the hideous Crocs that adorn their stinky feet. You know, like when I look through my childhood photos and regret the lacy hair ribbons, the popped collars, the rat tail and the leggings.
I really can't wait until these shoe abominations are removed from the face of the earth.

Uhhhh, no.
I'm in retail sales. Luckily & thankfully not face to face retail sales. I already deal with some of the dumbest people on the face of the earth. I can't imagine having to deal with them face to face. Boy, do I have stories. Even just over the phone and email they drive me bonkers. You'll be seeing a lot of stupid/rude customer posts from me. Fo' sho'.
We recently ran a promotion for free shipping if your order totals $25 or more and only good through yesterday. TWENTY FIVE OR MORE. 2. 5. Not $19.95, not $21.99, and not every time you order from here until the end of time. SERIOUSLY. It's not too difficult to figure out. I guess unless you can't count?
One of the offenders checked their credit card charges today. That pretty much tells me that they knew they weren't supposed to use that code. I'm fully expecting a return email saying she can't believe we didn't honor the code, or some other whiny shit.
You know that saying "The customer is always right"? I'm not sure who came up with that bullshit, but whoever it was should be flayed.
UPDATE: Just as I prophesied, she whined and cried about it. What don't you understand? I'm not sure she understands the term "subtotal". Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Another one? Seriously?!?!
Third time is the charm. Right? Riiiiiiiight.
I'm a nice person and not overly judgmental. There's just this one thing. People annoy me. Most people, anyway. Sometimes it's a noise they make, other times it might be something they say, while other times it might be something they do. I love it when it's a combo... or mayhaps a trifecta!
I mean, let's face it... there are some stupid people out there. Have you ever browsed lamebook.com? It makes me shake my head in amazement at how stupid people are on a daily basis. It also makes me a bit sad. And scared.
So we've got the educationally challenged. There are also the assholes, the selfish, the rude, and the clueless. To name a few.
Anywho, so people annoy me. At time they get on my last nerve. I know I'm not the only one with this affliction. A message board I used to frequent had an entire thread dedicated to venting about annoying coworkers. It spans many, many pages. There is also a random "you annoy me" thread, which is also pretty damned lengthy. I feel like a whiner when I vent to friends or the boyfriend. Not to mention, the boyfriend usually gets the deer in the headlights look when I start rambling. Poor guy. The best solution is to make a blog where I can vent to my little hearts content. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more!
I might not have been the best at keeping the other 2 blogs updated, but for some reason, I don't think I'll have a problem keeping this one going.
