Things I am sick of....

That commercial for Reynold's Wrap where it shows how you can line your baking dishes with foil and bake some chicken in the dish and then just wad up the foil to a perfectly clean baking dish underneath. It never works this way for me.. Somehow the cooking stains manage to sear through however many layers of foil I put in there causing me to have use Comet on the pan to get it clean.

Resealable packages of lunch meats, etc. I can never get them open to begin with without cutting the zip-loc strips away.

Always having to use the small sample sizes of toothpaste because what's his face tells me it is foolish to buy toothpaste when he gets it for free.

Swiffers.

People with no manners.

Trying to explain to Alax for the 37547654357th time that none of the local supermarkets have a "vegan" section, therefore my selection on what to buy for him is limited and if he is sick of carrots and tomatoes then maybe he better have a hamburger.

Tuning in to another star studded episode of Freaks-n-Geeks and the television set isn't even on.

AAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Im boring...the thing i am most sick of is...

a call you race to get from the shower when you are on your way to an interview/to do a presentation/major appointment and either the caller hangs up before leaving a message OR

its one of those calls presuming you need a second mortgage when you dont even have a first one!!!! Totally pointless!!!

Top Ten Things I am Sick Of

10. Empty juice cartons in the fridge.

9. Washing every sock in the house and still ending up with socks that
have no mates.

8. Finding the roll of bath tissue on the back of the commode instead of
on the holder.

7. My daughters school have fund raisers and selling outrageously expensive items no one wants to buy.

6. Hearing the phrase "JUST ONE MORE MINUTE?" at bedtime.

5. My daughter slamming doors when she is angry.

4. Asking about my husbands day at work, and then actually hearing
about it.

3. Scratch off tickets that allow you to win back the exact amount you paid for the ticket, no more no less.

2. Insomnia.

1. When my daughters concerta dosage doesn't seem to be having any affect, and it has to be adjusted for the upteenth time.

Those commercials where the long list of side effects is far worse than the initial little problem.
.. (side effects include diarrhea, nausea, sexual malfuction, insomnia, oily discharge and possible death)..

Tired of people talking on their cell phone while "attempting" to drive - ARGH!!! Also, very rude to talk on a cell phone while you are shopping in a supermarket or while you are in an elevator. Cell phones drive me CRAZY!

Having food allergies that drastically limit my life.

Applying for jobs and being told I'm overqualified.

Doing laundry.

That's about it. I actually have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to enjoy in life.

I have the rare "opportunity" to add 5 channels of HBO and HBO on demand to my current direct TV service and a DVR for ONLY $9.99 more a month for the first 3 months and then it is only $29.99 a month more.

I tried to explain to the girl that we wouldn't even own a television and have direct TV if we hadn't had the need to lure babysitters to our house..

She didn't care... She responded that even if I went out to the movies one time per month I would pay more than $29.99... Wow! I know movies are expensive but $30 for just me to go to the movies? Yes, I would have to have a large soft drink and a box of Junior Mints--- But I would have those at home too!

When I was a teenager I used to sneak out to independent films ...wooooo...and a big part of that was picking up a box of Junior Mints at the theatre!! I loved them at the time, but I always had the same thing happen to me with them...For some reason I always choked a little on the first one. Weird, huh?

Cellphone conversations in store bug me a little but there was one time it REALLY bugged me. That was when the guy was talking on the cellphone at the same time as checking out at Walmarts. He didnt even say "hi" or otherwise acknowledge the cashier. I thought that was exceptionally rude. Most of the time I make a point of smiling or saying "have a nice day" to the cashier first when we r both in a hurry, or making a joke when neither of us are, because cashiers have a rough job. Thats me, of course, but I still think that was very rude.

You sound like a very cheerful and courteous person wintressanna. I have to add one more thing because this just happened to me. When your husband is watching T.V. and decides to change the channel but can't find the remote. He spends ten minutes tearing apart the living room looking for it, when he could've just walked over and pressed the button on the $%&# T.V. This happens alot. He also flips through all the channels while they are advertising.

I agree that bad manners of others can be very irritating.

LOl my daughter does the same as your husband. I keep advising her to do what shes gonna do with the Tv/DVD first and then tear up the livingroom looking for the remote. My sister had a unique idea to solve this problem. She had a basket to which all the different remotes were affixed with individual strings of yarn i believe. You would think this would work, but they managed to cut themselves loose and go wandering about the cushions anyway!

swiffers I have a huge pet peeve :( Now how about one that had a washable cloth on it that I would support (although I still think it doesn't do a very good job I swear by my blue hard as a rock drying thing)

disposable anything that isn't ness. gets on my nerves...

and about the TP, hey, I'm just happy if I find one in reach!

I have a pet peeve about trying my best to follow message board rules and others not bothering does that fall under manners? It just saddens me and no I'm not bashing this board I'm just obsessive about such things to a degree "across the boards"

I watch the Home & Garden Network and I am sick of
"Eclectic" and "pop!"

I am sick and tired of a scandalous electric company that over charges, doesn't always credit your account with the payments made, or in some cases outright charges you twice without a definitive answer as to why. I am tired of their customer service representatives who must have taken classes on "talking in circles." I'm tired of hearing about billing cycles, payment options, and being forced to ultimately pay whatever it is they say I have to pay no matter what.

I am sick of not being able to figure out how to re-salt the rim of a margarita glass when there is still 'maragrita' in the glass.

Liars. Cheats. Rotten people. Don't they know what goes around comes around?

#1. People who stop 20' from the crosswalk line at a red light,

#2. People who change lanes through an intersection,

#3. People who leave 20' of space between their car and the one ahead of them while at a stop light,

#4. People who flash their blinkers twice then shut if off BEFORE changing lanes,

#5. People who don't shut up long enough to hear the answer to the question they just got through asking me,

#6. People who get on my tail and wait until we are real close to an off-ramp then they jump into the left lane and pass me and force their way back in front of me and exit. I just speed up.

One guy tried that and ended up rolling his car. Now that was funny!

,

#7. "I am Mr. Momahar Ebonic assistant to the late President Arcane Flapdoodle of Nigeria and I have $50,000,000,000,000.00 I need to place in your bank account, if I can trust you that is... Type of email,

#8. Emails trying to sell me vitamin pills and breast enlargements, or something,

#9. The smart-ass at the restaurant I go to who thinks he know's what I want and rings it up before I even open my mouth,

#10. Stores that don't honor sale prices and when you prove that that item is on sale the clerk treat's you like a moron,

#11. Clerks who follow me around and keep their eyes on me as if they are sure I'm going to steal something

,

#12. People who put toilet paper rolls on backwards with the paper sliding against the wall and you have to rake the paint off the walls with your nails to get the stinkin' paper!

#13. Buying a small item at Costco that comes in a huge plastic package that is so big and tough I need a hatchet to get the darn thing open!

Those are just a few of mine.

* REALITY TV SHOWS - Haven't we proved to the world how stupid. materialistic and shallow (Bachelor, Marry a Millioniare, etc.) Americans are!?

* RUDE PEOPLE - I am a Victorian at heart when it comes to manners and expect others to be the same. Silly Me!

* BAD TABLE MANNERS - I swear 1/2 the country has been raised at a trough!

* STUPID PEOPLE - not those with true challenges, but those who just don't have a lick of common sense!

* That annoying card commercial with the snorting, hissing, blasting, etc. laughter!

* HEAT - I am ready for autumn and Winter!

I'm sick to death of all the angry people in the world. There are just too many of them!!!

Cell phone usage in public places--very tiresome!

I'm tired of trying to date men my age who only act like they are still in high school and are just out for sex. I'm a person, too.!

I'm peeved at college professors who create stressful situations so the students can "grow up" when I attend a school where 80% of the students are working their way through school. They have enough stress in their lives already.

You may not be able to GO in FR, but you can certainly FLUSH reality TV.

Liver as a food item--wholly inappropriate!
