People who blow their nose at the dinner table while dining out! Helloooooo...... Excuse yourself and go to the restroom to take care of your bodily functions...and WASH your hands while you are there! And in general, people who go out in public when sick with very contagious upper respiratory infections, or GI bugs...<sigh>

EOR(end of rant)

I’m SOONER born,
And SOONER bred,
And when I die,
I’ll be SOONER dead!
GO SOONERS!
I be ready for some football!

One little walker-runner Dude for every 10 miles!

Certain people in this household who do NOT rinse out pop cans before placing them in the receptacle. Attracts ants in the summer and gives me sticky, icky fingers when I return them to the recycling machines!

Oh boy, I could really go to town on THIS one! LOL!!

People who do not use their turn signals. People who USE their turn signals and then don't turn!

People who talk on cell phones in restaurants, doctors' offices, theaters, and while driving.

DH who never shuts a cupboard door! LOL!

Patients who schedule appointments, show up 15 minutes late, and the first thing they ask is "Is the doctor running on schedule?" I want so badly to say, "NO, you ignorant idiot, because the person ahead of YOU was 15 minutes late too!"

Patients who call and start the phone conversation with "I was wondering..." Well STOP wondering already and tell me why the heck you called me! LOL!

Costco for not having a "10 items or less" lane.

Grammatical and spelling errors, particularly on the NEWS - aren't these people degreed JOURNALISTS for pity's sake?

OK, that ought to hold me for a while!

LOL, Char! You covered some of my favs, too.

Ok, operators of remote control tv devices who have perpetually itchy fingers--you know who you are, DH!

I'm gonna add more: People who call on the telephone and don't identify themselves. They just start talking as if you know who they are.

People who go into public places stinking to high heaven because they haven't had a bath in weeks, or washed their clothes, or brushed their teeth, and have an aura of tobacco and alcohol clinging to them. Thank goodness for Oust and Lysol Spray!

People who ask you, "Are you still on that diet?"

People who pull out in front of you when you are driving the speed limit, and then refuse to speed up.

People who drive with their parking lights on.

People who drive with their lights off in the fog. (As if I can see them, anyway).

People who park at a diagonal across 2 spaces, or who drive those humongous pickup trucks that take up a space and a half.

My biggest peeve - drivers who do not indicate where they are going. Hello do they think I'm psychic or something? How the heck am I supposed to teach DS to do the right thing when no one indicates?

OUCH, April, that would certainly peeve ME too! I like your avatar...tee hee!!

Hey, vent away. Sounds like it would help.

I'll add - a mother who gets drunk at Christmas Eve dinner and then berates me, not outright, but in a sarcastic way in the guise of "teasing" - boy does that torque me!

If she didn't live ON MY PROPERTY - I'd not worry about "keeping the peace" - but you gotta do what you gotta do, girlfriend, and I feel your anger!

I agree vent away.

Oh April, that's awful!

I have a few from my unfortunate forages in town this week...

People who pass you when you are doing just over the the speed limit, and then drive too slow, so that you wonder why they passed you in the first place.

Drivers who don't pay attention to WHICH LANE they are supposed to be going into when there are multiple left-hand turn lanes, and almost squash my car on the side MY KID IS ON.

The same idiot driver who decides that its okay to try to forcibly shove me over with his car, so that he can be in my lane. AND his idiot friend who was laughing because it was so fun to try to terrorize a woman and her child.

Video store clerks who don't check-in your movie after you tell them that its defective so that you get a late notice from the video store threatening to charge you for the movie.

People who are so frantic about their Christmas shopping that they knock down a small boy, and don't even apologize or check to see if he is alright. Yes, I know he bounces, but he's not their child, so how would THEY know that?

Store managers who don't plan their scheduling well, and have only one register open while their is a line going all the way to the back of the store. And for goodness' sake... he's the MANAGER, would it kill him to actually run a register for a little while?

Waitresses who repeat "without the bun?" several times and look at you like you are from another planet. What?!? Has no one ever heard of allergies around here? I mean no one ever looks at me like a lunatic when I order the burger with no pickles!!!

That's probably enough rants from me... or the next person will be ranting about people who hi-jack forum threads

People who hijack forum threads! You can hijack this one anytime.

People who invite you to a get-together and ask you to bring something like a loaf of bread; and when you bring a nice loaf of whole wheat bread, you see that everyone else has brought that nasty cheap white gooey junk, and your loaf just sits there. Sigh.

All the horrible weight-loss commercials that pop up around the turn of the year. They are bad enough the rest of the year, but they seem to get worse around Jan. 1.
