Thursday Thirteen!
Thirteen Things That Annoy Me

1. People who don’t make right turns at red lights (when it’s legal).

2. People who dress their 8 year old daughters like Fergie (the pea not the dutchess).

3. Charlie Gibson (oh it’s Charles now because he’s all serious and shit, eye roll).

4. Starlet po po sightings. Put on some panties or oh, I don’t know, get a fucking job.

5. Books wherein the author tells us the heroine is “spunky” or “saucy” but she’s a total whiner, dumbass doormat.

6. People who actually stop in the merge lane on the freeway. Those people need to have their licenses taken away forever and marked with a D on their foreheads so we all know to avoid their dumbasses. If you are afraid of the freeway or merging onto the freeway, do not do it.

7. Young men with pants belted around their thighs. I don’t want to see your boxers. You all make me feel a hundred years old and I want to stomp up to you, yank your pants up and shake my finger in your face while saying, “PULL YOUR PANTS UP YOUNG MAN!”

8. The guy next door who starts his Harley in his driveway at 5 am and turns on the stereo so loud it wakes me and my kids up. Hey, it’s 5 in the morning, your motorcycyle is loud enough, don’t add your damned music at full blast.

9. Snow.

10. Paris Hilton (and this is related to #4).

11. Romance novels with anal scenes wherein the hero um, ‘double dips’ which is unsanitary as well as squicky.

12. Waiting. Ugh.

13. The terrible twos. Thank goodness my daughter is so cute because she is evol!

  1. Yes, yes and yes to all of those (well, I don’t have a neighbor with a Harley, but I have neighbors who have visitors too lazy to get out of the car, so they honk the horn. Repeatedly. No matter what time of day or night.)


  2. Amen, sistah! Though I don’t have a two year old anymore. STill have PTSD from having raised a couple, though


  3. $&^%#$*^%%(*&^(%&%*&^$*$8653!!!!!!!

    Number Five.


  4. #8 made me laugh because I used to live upstairs from a dude that would get up every morning at 5am and start to play his harp. Yes, a harp. And yes, harps are lovely and lyrical but not at 5am and not when he plays the same one frakking song over and over and over and over.


  5. Ugh. I think about 80 percent of the population should have to walk, bike, or take a bus. My world would be a happier place


  6. Yes, to all of the above! I’m especially feeling #7, as the parent of a 12 y.o. boy. When I was in school, if anyone came to school like that, he would have been “pantsed” before first period. Now, that’s just called sexual harrassment. Sheesh.

    And do I really want to see my waiter’s ass? NO THANK YOU! It should be illegal for guys to be allowed to wear their pants like that in any sort of customer service environment. ICK. Ditto for the girls with the thongs that let their butts or tummies hang out. I do NOT need to know if the carpet matches the drapes, thank you very much!


  7. I hate so-called spunky heroines too. And double-dipping anal scenes squick me out.

    As for #8, my downstairs neighbor has decided it’s ok to watch tv AT A RIDICULOUSLY LOUD VOLUME at 3 a.m. This is not so bad when you’re already asleep, but if you’re up working late at night and then have to go to bed, well, that’s just f annoying. Especially if he’s watching something with lots of random explosions.


  8. I hear you about the driving stuff. Oh, and number 12. I HATE waiting!


  9. Yes, yes, yes! and LOL at squicky!!! that rocks.

    my TT is up too.

    *still chuckling at squicky*

  11. heheeee!! “marked with a D.”
    Dang - you crack me up. To the Harley I’d add idiots who decide to start firing their shotguns late at night or early in the mornings. I can only surmise they’re totally toasted and shooting at the moon. I don’t even both calling the cops anymore - they don’t catch ‘em.


  12. I totally laughed at number 5. I soooo agree.
