10 Things That Piss Me Off
10. Frivolous lawsuits, like the guy that sued an entire town’s small businesses claiming they weren’t handicapped accessible, even though he hadn’t actually visited all of the businesses he was suing, and it turns out most of them WERE handicapped accessible.
9. People who don’t pick up their dogs’ shit, like my next-door-neighbors. If you want to own a dog, you have to clean up its poop, okay? I do NOT own a dog, because I do NOT want to clean up its poop. So why do I still have to clean up dog poop off my walkway again?
8. People who pay for their groceries with a welfare card, but have a brand-new Escalade with spinning rims or a lowered Nissan Z. (I’m talking about you, half the population of Webster!)
7. Children under 12 that define themselves as part of a certain religion. You’re not even old enough to understand what youre religion stands for, let alone all of the terrible things your religion has almost undoubtedly caused people to do. I’m not actually mad AT the children, though, I’m mad at their parents for brainwashing them.
6. Buying something at a store that says “Returns must be in the condition they were bought in”, and then as soon as you get it home, it breaks and you can’t return it, because now it’s not in the same condition it was purchased in.
5. The taboo against swearing. They’re just fucking words, it’s the meanings that people associate with them that can be hurtful, and if I’m not applying one of those words in a hurtful way against you, then what’s your fucking problem? If my car won’t start I’m going to say “This fucking blows!”, and if you tell me I can’t, I’ll say “This seriously displeases me,” and then I’ll punch you in the face. For not letting me vent properly. GRR.
4. The fact that churches are tax-exempt organizations, even though we supposedly have a separation of church and state, and the Catholic church has more money than any other person or organization in the world. I realize it costs a lot of money to cover up all those sexual abuse scandals, but surely they can start paying their share of taxes now that the country’s economy is in such dire straits?
3. Stubbing my toe. ‘Nuff said.
2. People who abuse the ADA and get money from the government because they “had difficulty with … keeping track of money and bills, preparing meals, doing light housework… and using the telephone” Seriously? I never do hosuework and I misdial the telephone all the time. Do I get money now? I am all for helping those who truly need it, but I’ve known so many people who get disability checks that clearly could be working. Being lazy is not a disability. If it was, I’d never have to work again.
And finally, the number 1 thing that pisses me off:
1. Being woken up on the mornings when I could actually sleep in by some asshole telemarketer, even though I’m clearly on the Do Not Call List. Apparently, it is OK for a company with whom you already do business to call you at all hours of the day and try to sell you MORE stuff. If I wanted Charter Telephone, I would have it already, and I would NOT have called you at 7:30 in the morning to order it!!
So… what pisses YOU off? Venting is therapeutic, you know!
