I find people that seem to never have anything positive to say here or express some graciousness for all the good they DO have quite disturbing.

But, aren't we all gratefull that we can still openly and publicly express those thoughts.

I am highly alergic to tobacco. If I breathe in too much smoke, I get an ashma attack. I don't care if you smoke, but not around me.

I have some liberal inlaws. College professors. They freaked out when I told them that our county of 110,000 people had 30,000 concealed carry permits issued each year. They are very naive. The liberal SIL thought buying and selling stock was gambling. Not exactly. With proper research before buying, a good company will gain in value. Historically faster than inflation. Research, buy low, sell high. They do not know how the capitalist system works. They have bleeding hearts and want to give money to every poor person that comes along, without finding out if they are frauds, alcoholics, or druggies.

People that tell you your wrong, when you post your experience with something, then personally attack you for not agreeing with them, and then can't let it go.

Here they are , folks, hot off the internet.

Council/Counsel
Steal/Steel
Heal/Heel
Buy/By
Advise/Advice
Breath/Breathe
Border/Boarder
Aloud/Allowed

Are there really people who think "more" is spelled "moar", or that "ever" is spelled "evar"?

Let's not forget the latest fad in illiteracy, "dag" when referring to a dog.

People who fight and argue with everyone, on a forum that's supossed to be a place to stand together.

And another one - website/web sight

It is a website, not a web sight. A site is a location, a website is a location on the web.

same difference...what?
real-a-tor for realtor
nook-ya-ler for nuclear
jool-a-ree for jewelry
"I COULD care less" when you obviously mean "I COULDN'T care less."
ax instead of ask
astrix instead of asterisk
lar-a-nix instead of larynx...

i was reminded today about an old pet peeve

people expect you to work around their dog

preasure washing......they ask me to keep the gate closed incase they let the dog out

i told then when i go through the gate my hands are full
they need to stay by the gate and OPEN it and CLOSE it behind me

i was already working TOOOO cheap because they were a freind

i have walked off jobs over a dog more than once
also removed more the one front door over finding it closed and my hands full
can't remember how many light switches i have removed and strait wired the light on

I KNOW ITS THEIR HOUSE...but i am there to FOCUS on my work
i can't focus on my work in poor lighting and obstructed walk ways

Obama saying the unemployment rate is 8.2 %- ya right. What about the people that gave up looking or the trained welders,mechanics,or machinists that took a job at the parts counter at AutoZone for 8 bucks an hour
News clips about the Zimmerman shooting showing a picture of Treyvon when he was about 13( I don't know what really happened that night but I know he ain't 13 anymore)

Bureaucratic Dogma
I dont care for the use of Numbers in the news (13K new jobs were created this week)
I find it a empty statement with no substance. Are they real jobs? or minimum wage jobs better suited for highschool kids as part time jobs?

Customer Service telephone banks (US Post Office and Sears Technical Support) Sears to get a Thermostat for a Kenmore Fridge, 5 diffrent people all wanting my phone # and again asking what my make & model were? (I hate Huge Business)

Liar's, Cheats, Swindlers

Parents that yell at their kids

Long winded ad's on TV

Super Sized foods and drinks.

Sport Hunting TV programs.

Political Ad's

Buying anything in Anchorage to fix what you have, they only want to sell you new stuff, the parts guy is always out to lunch (actual & figuratively) useally need to talk to the new guy first, then the shift forman and bumped up to the parts department manager.
I know Im in for it when I call saying I need a part and they say please hold while we connect you.
I lovesmaller businesses the one you call and the first person that answers actually knows where the part is on the shelf because they put it there themselves.

The unemployment rate is never correct no matter what president is in office. Once the benifits run out for a person they are taken off the rolls of the unemployed.

People who bid on your eBay stuff but refuse to pay and won't even contact you so you can relist it.

That piece of 80 grit sandpaper shirt companies sew into the necks of new shirts and call a label.
Idiots smoking outside the entrance of wal mart and you get a big blast in the face as you wade through them.
HOA's ( home owners associations)
Buying a product, get it home, open the box and some pieces missing.
car dealerships.
NBA basketball
Bad service at restaurant.

That reminds me.

People who end every spoken sentence with a rising voice inflection, so that you have to take a split second to replay it in your head to figure out whether it is a statement or a question.

That drives me absolutely bonkers.
