Stupid things people do that pi$$ you off!

I just feel like I have to vent. My girlfriends',sisters', boyfriend was sitting at home a few days ago and noticed I was online during my work shift. He called my girlfriend and ratted and she called me all ticked off asking me if I wanted to loose my job or what.

I have a few things to point out. First point, I was actually on my lunch. Second point, I have a temporary access password for the network for this week only and internet browsing is not locked out on my account so I figured as long as I am not wasting company time it should be fine. They also have webmarshal installed so I was not visiting any offensive sites. Third point, the task which I was given one week to do was finished yesterday afternoon which is a day and a half sooner than expected and my boss was very pleased.

So my answer to the original question....
Why can't people mind their own business?
 
Hmmmm.

On second thought I think I will add to it. How about......

People stirring the pot instead of answering the question.

I don't know anyone here and just thought a good icebreaker would be to ask people's opinions about something that truly bothered me.
 
Please stop touching my (rather costly) LCD. Actually, you can touch the LCD, just not the SCREEN!! I know what you're talking about when you want me to look at a particular part of a webpage; you DO NOT have to put your GRUBBY, OILY, GRIMEY, SNOT LACED, EAR WAX PICKING, TOILET PAPER HANDLING, POMADE SLICKED, DINGLEBERRY CRUSTED fingers onto the screen. All it ends up doing is leaving a disgusting and quite difficult to remove imprint on the screen that I have to stare at and remind me just how filthy your mud filled, tire greased, tiger balmed, crotch sweated, ass scratching fingers really are.

And for god's (pick one) sake, DO NOT take the next step and run your fingers across the screen as it is in contact with said screen :|

oh, and keep that pen as far away as possible. you know what? don't even bring it out; hell, don't even bring it to my desk.

That is all.

Your girlfriend's sister's boyfriend has no place being a snot like that. If it were your girlfriend, MAYBE... but most likely still "no."

For the record, Even though you are on your break and done with work, you are still using company resources so it's still something they COULD fire you for.... but I wouldn't want to work for a tightwad company like that anyway.

I doubt there are many people here that haven't checked email or something at work where there is internet access.
 
I hate people who can't seem to figure out how to use the center turn lane. They seem to always be driving smallish cars that will fit without a problem, but stick out 3 feet and wonder why people get all pissed at them.

Another thing is people who drive slow in the left lane. The driving teachers need to get it through their heads, "Stay in the right lane, even more so if you aren't keeping up with traffic!"

And then there are the pinheads who get a green arrow left turn signal, and sit there, trying to figure out if they are supposed to go or not, and sit there, until someone, usually me honks at them to snap them out of their daze. I had to go to a defensive driving class for work one time, and got into an argument over this with another guy, who having driven for 40+ years should have known better.

I slept through most of the class, but guess who got the only 100% on the test?

Little old comatose me!

everyone needs to get this! it sucks going down a highway at 65 to wind up behind 2 asshats driivng side-by-side for miles at under 60.


another thing: cruise control. i love my cruise control, but even in a car without it, its not *that* damn hard to maintain a steady speed. yet, the other day, there was a mercedes in the lft lane on the highway, some older woman behind the wheel, who would speed up and get past me, then slow down and fall be hind....she did this for a few minutes before i decided to speed up even more and get clear of her.

i also *hate* people who dont turn into the nearest lane. if youre in a truck with a trailer i can understand, or driving a bus or some other large vehicle with some awful truning radius, but some bitch in a new thunderbird almost ran into me as i turned left into the nearest lane, and she was coming off a right turn...INTO MY LANE.

 
You should confront him about it, and tell him to mind his own damned business. What a sh!t head.

im with ya. when i let someone play my psp i tell them to not touch
the screen. but what do i know. they always end up greasen the screen
pretty well anyway.
 
Loud Gum chewers need to die. In PA we have this standardized test called the PSSAs. During this test I had to sit next to possibly the loudest gum chewer on the freaking earth for about 2 hours. I have never been so close to flipping out on someone. Also people that like to poke lcd screens to see the "swirly colors" and call us up when they break.
 
Here in Maryland, there seems to be some sort of driving rule that you can't ever go faster than about 30 mph when trying to merge onto the highway. No matter how long the ramp is, no matter how fast the traffic is moving, the vast majority of the drivers around here will get going about 30 mph, and then try and fly into traffic that's going more than twice as fast. Even going from highway to highway, I've actually seen people who were going 65 on the highway slow down on the ramp to go to the other highway. And I can understand on those stupid cloverleaf intersections, it's hard to go fast on those ramps. But even on the nice long ramps between westbound and northbound highways, for example, you'll always have some asshat going about 35 mph. It really doesn't seem all that complicated of an idea, and given the extreme number of car accidents on the highways around here, you think people would eventually figure it out.

Of course, almost every year there are at least a few good sized snow storms around here...but has anyone in Maryland figured out how to drive in snow? Of course not... 😀
