When people get pssed off at you because you're honest about something, yet they did the EXACT same thing in reverse and find nothing wrong with it....

Additionally when customers come in at exactly 2 weeks when you quote them 2-3 weeks and start calling every day made that it's not ready. Maybe it would be done if you stopped bitching. Also I said I would call when it's ready. I do not get paid till you pick up the item. You WILL hear from me. I enjoy getting paid much more than listening to bullfuck consistant annoyance.

Depends on if you're talking about reasonably attractive females...and by pajamas you mean their skin. :ymdevil:

And Recca, I feel ya the only good thing about my situation is I don't have to deal with such people.

I thought the pyjamas thing was an urban myth, or only done by Liverpudlian chavs, right up until I saw a few women round here doing it.
I remain baffled.

i am seriously getting fucking annoyed by my parents and sisters habit of telling me to do stuff when iam already doing it.

washing the plates and they tell me to wash the plates. While standing there watching me do it.

Cleaning my bed and they walk in, tell me to clean my bed.

Why should i be annoyed? isnt the fact i know i chose to do it already by myself enough?

No thats not it. i have that BUT ITS LATER WHEN THEY START LECTURING ME ABOUT NOT BEING HELPFUL AND NOT DOING ANYTHING UNLESS IAM TOLD that annoys the shit out of me.

I got in some trouble at work for doing that. I'd read the person's mind in charge and start doing something that they would then tell me to do.

One of my pet peeves is when people get sayings wrong. Like people that say "I could care less." For some reason or other it grates in my head.

Now, I'm not an alcoholic... but I do like the odd beer now and again. It's the perfect drink with certain foods. My pet peeve is that I'm kind of concerned that I might actually be developing a mild allergy to alcohol.

I'm already allergic to aspirin. Whenever I take something with aspirin in it, my nose runs like a faucet and my breathing becomes difficult for a couple of hours. The reason I think I might becoming allergic to alcohol is that several times in the last couple of years whenever I drink enough to get tipsy, my nose starts running quite a bit. It's the same cause and effect that I see when I've taken something with aspirin.

Part of the reason this bugs me so much is because... and I mean this truthfully... I'm starting to run out of things to drink with any consistency! I've already given up soda for my health, and many fruit juices are acidic to the point that drinking them frequently will give me bad heartburn. If I can't enjoy a couple of beers here or there, I'm going to be that guy who goes out to every restaurant and orders a water to drink.

Maybe it's not an allergy at all, but mild favism.

Twisty ties. They're annoying, my cats always get a hold of them, and they're creepy to step on. Twisty ties.

Someone posted an image on Facebook where their daughter (who might be anywhere from 5-7, idk) was in just a pair of underwear. She was doing the dishes and it's supposed to be innocent but still. COVER YOUR KIDS. jfc.

Because there's still people who'd want to "tap that." *shudder*
