Peeves
Why is it that whenever there are leftover donuts after a meeting everyone assumes the fat guy is going to take them home?
My daughter (the one away at college) called tonight to tell me she didn't have money for gas, so she was borrowing money from a friend so she could drive home to get gas money from me. Huh?
I was at McNugget's last week, and I swear the goldfish working the register had to walk back to it FOUR times to read it before she got my order complete. I had ordered only a side salad and a medium diet coke! What planet do they hire these people from?
Great.... Video and TV on your cell phone. As if bad drivers didn't have enough to distract them...
I hate it when the paper publishes the same Dilbert cartoon two days in a row. They never publish the missing one.
Yah, I have to rant once in a while. This is a great place to do it. My wife is a technophobe so she won't read this and tell me I'm whining.
I was going to allow comments, but within twelve seconds of making my first post, some stupid spammer posted a comment saying "Great blog, come get a new credit card at my site..." Sheesh. While I do usually oppose the death penalty, I think I am willing to make an exception for spammers.
Major peeve: idiots who throw their cigarette butts in my yard, or who flick them out their car windows without looking to see if someone is beside them. Now I have to drive either with my windows up or while wearing fire-proof underwear.
Peeve: a kid's pet rabbit that leaves little surprises all over the house, especially since I like to take my shoes off once I come home. Yuk! I guess I should be glad he didn't get a pet camel.
Why is it that the spell checker at blogger.com thinks that the word 'blog' is misspelled? Or that MS Word doesn't understand the word 'Centrino'. Is it because my computer uses an AMD processor instead of an Intel?
Final peeve of the day: Even though my daughter is off at college, and has been for over a month, there are still idiot friends of hers that still call here wanting to talk to her... at two o'clock in the freakin' morning!
