when im in the toilet in a pub having a pee and people talk to me

I hate when people tell you that they'll get back to you that night, and then they don't call you back for two days.

I hate it when I just want to buy one thing at Costco and there are huge and long lines with people who seem to be refurnishing their homes. Why don't they have a damn express line???

I hate it when I tell telemarketers that I can't talk now because I'm eating dinner, and they say, Sorry, but they don't mean it because they called precisely AT that time in the hope that I would be home eating dinner.

The problem with the Do-Not-Call registry is that there is a loophole: If you are currently doing business with a company (or have done business with them in the past), then they are exempt from the registry. Also, charitable organizations and political parties can call you; they're exempt as well.

This is a lot of garbage. I mean, I have absolutely nothing against charities, but if I want to make a donation, I will contact them. I really do not care to be bothered at home.

I will admit, though, that there are times when I will participate in a telephone survey. Sometimes they can be inoffensive.

But, what particularly ticks me off is when my phone rings and I pick it up to answer it and find that there isn't a human being on the other end - only a damned recording. This happens a lot with political annoyance calls. I will not speak to a machine. Period. More and more, this is also happening with "customer service" phone numbers - you want to talk to a person, and no matter what you say, the damned automated voice is hell-bent on not letting you speak to a human. You sometimes have to be very clever to get your call routed to an actual person. (Of course, sometimes the actual person turns out to be a cretin and I wonder if I would have been better off with the machine.)

That's just the tip of the iceberg, as far as things I hate. Believe me, I could write a book or two (or twenty).

Signor V.

AMEN! I think companies do that just to discourage people from calling. What's even worse is the "voice recognition software." I'm sorry, but from my experience with such, the software still has a loooooooooooooooooong way to go before it should be put in the public sector.

SV, I think we park our car in the same garage as the saying goes. Let me know when your first volume comes out, I'll look for it

Having to wait in line to go to the bathroom. There is always a line in the ladies room.

BTW Congrats to you Yank fans.

That's because you ladies always go to the ladie's room in groups!

Maybe I should start using the men's room. I never understood that. A little privacy please!

Well next time I'll use the men's room.

Then you and PB can go together!

You know, that's true!!! It's common knowledge.

I can see it now at Friday's BB meet. SC rises from his chair and says to Geoff, PB and DMC, "you guys need to go to the restroom?" Ha ha ha Wouldn't that be a kick?


TIS

DC's coming?

BETH!

Oh, I wasn't supposed to say that out loud!!!

As long as he goes #1 and not #2.

Not possible. Geoff and DMC rather be alone.

Ha ha!! Too late!

No, my mistake. I edited. I wanted to tease DC but obviously can't if he's not attending.

You're bad!!!!!!!!!

So the Col. can't pee with them?

when people say thats so funny and dont laugh

I hate when people are telling me about a movie and mid-sentence say "Have you seen it?" and I say no, and they overreact by saying "You HAVEN'T?! WHAT?!?! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT?! HOW COULD YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT?!?! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT!" and they make me feel like a moron for not having seen the movie.

i agree

Wasn't this in a Scrubs episode? I was thinking Seinfeld at first, but I seem to remember JD being annoyed about a girlfriend that did that.

maybe im not sure it does annoy me though!

I hate it when a team (like Cleveland) thats SUPPOSED TO be good rolls over and plays dead against the Yankees.

And pee all over your shoes?

SC, What baseball team do you root for?

He's still rooting for The Boston Braves.

Almost as bad as The Red Sox losing 2 out of 3 to those freakin Orioles.

Smart ass!!!
