Things that Kinda' bug me

Well, I haven't ranted in a while. I've been gathering material. So since I've been gone so long, I figure I will just make a list of the things that have been bugging me lately, so getcha self a bowl of popcorn and a coke and settle in for Roge's top 20 list of things that have made her say "Really?" over the past few months,

#20. My two middle children spitting on each other, it's a new game at our house. Extremely sanitary, I know!

#19. The smell that's in my car right now, old cheeseburgers and playdough, again very sanitary...

#18.The guy at the drive through window at the Taco Bell up the street who when I ask for some ketchup and salt responds with ,"how many do you want?", not so bad right? Well when I say "oh, a few" and he asks me to be more specific..... need I say more. He does it every stinkin' time I go there.

#17. Whoever let their dog throw up in front of my driveway and left there the other night... Way to support the HOA!

#16.The guy who comes into my office to talk to me and while he's waiting decides to remove his underware from his butt.. Way to start off the week..

#15. People who cuss other people out while you're on the phone with them. I mean this man called his wife everything but the name her parents gave her and then says to me, "Sorry, I couldn't hear you can you repeat that."

#14. When the cashier at the checkstand sees me, my husband and our four kids with one shopping cart walk up to check out and asks, "Are you all together??" There are times that I am tempted to say, no, I just follow random white men around Target for kicks!!

#13. When you tell someone specifically what to do and a few minuets later they come back and ask you," So what did you want me to do?"

#12. That one person and you know who you are who, rather than saying that they want to talk to you walks up behind you or next to you, location is unimportant and sighs really loudly so that you'll ask them what they need. I have taken to just walking away

#11.That embarrassed feeling that I get when I go back for seconds at the CostCo sample tables. I feel like I'm stealing. ( That makes me sound fat and greedy doesn't it?) We all do it, but strangely enough we all feel that way.


And now, for the the Top 10

#10. That stupid little green patch on facebook, I can't even water the plants in my house.

#9.When I get the bill for my pedicure and it includes callous remover, I didn't ask for callous remover? and when I ask the lady why that's on there she says " Oh, honey I have to put callous remover, your feet are so rough" There went your tip sweetheart!

#8.Infomercials that test my intelligence. I really am not too stupid to find my keys in my purse or believe that I can grow grass on cement blocks or drop two dress sizes by hanging upside down.

#7.People who take their kids to Chuckie Cheese and don't watch them. "Excuse me , mam, could you please tell your sweet little angel to quit drinking off of my soda, I know the refills are free, but gimme a break!!"

#6. The lady driving in front of me last night who decided, while going 30 MPH up Crown Valley Parkway, just to stop her car in the middle of the road while she figured out if she wanted to turn left or right. Did I mention we were both in the middle lane?

#5.It's late and I'm tired so I guess you'll just have to wait, won't you!!!

Craigslist

I absolutely love Craigslist. It is my favorite place to find anything and everything that I may need.I even found my couch on Craigslist. It's a really nice couch. But you know the old saying , "With every blessing, comes a curse". While I think that I may have just made that up it sounds about right. So not only do I waste precious hours of my life scouring Craigslist postings to see what's out there, ( the blessing), I also post things I want to sell on there as well, ( the curse). I'm the kind of person who lays things out pretty straight, so when I post things I'm pretty clear about what I have and how you can get it.  For example, I moved out of a house recently and I had a few  things that I just couldn't take with me so I decided to put them up in the free section of Craigslist. The posting went as follows:   "Moved and can't take these things with me,' I've moved out of my house and I have left a few items out front that I have no room for. It's a gas grill that works, just needs a little cleaning, a powerwheels battery operated car for kids that needs a new battery and a refrigerator that works fine, it's just a little old. I am no longer living at the house, so it's a first come first serve deal. Here's the address, good luck." Alright, let's just take a minuet and see what conclusions can be drawn from what the posting said. 1. There is no one living at the house where the stuff is. 2. All of the things sound like they are in pretty good working condition with the exception of the kids car that just needs a new battery. 3.The stuff is free so it'll probably go fast. 4. If I want to take all of it I will probably need a truck to do it. None of that sounds so far fetched right? So why did I get 15 e-mails that asked me some of the stupidest things I've ever heard? Ok so two days after the post went up I get an e-mail that said, " Hi there, just wanted to see if you could let me know if the things are still outside" Huh? Was I not clear about not being there anymore?  Another said, " Just wanted to know if you had any kids toys"  ???????   But my favorite was the guy who asked me, " How big is the grill , do you think it will fit in my car.? Like I know what kind of car he drives!! ARGHHHHHH. Why are people so lame? Here's the thing though, that kind of thing happens every time I post on Craigslist. I had a garage sale once and posted the name of the street it would be on, what day it would be and the type of items that would be there. I said " Big garage sale. Sofa, Chair, Tv, strollers, children's clothes and home decor." So tell me, why did some lady e-mail me and ask me , and I QUOTE " Hi there just wanted to see if you would have any musical instruments, guitar, flute, drums,  violin,  harp, guitar pedals etc... Or any watches, not the battery type though." WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??!!!?!?Of course, I advertise that I'm having a garage sale, list the kind of things that will be there  and forget to list the fact that I have a harp in my garage that I need to get rid of.  I guess there's no height requirement for the Internet. " You must be this smart to use your computer".... Oh well,  I'll still post and I'll keep getting stupid e-mails from stupid people.
