I know a lot of women and nobody I know goes around saying that they are a "mother" and that they are "rearing" their children. Where are you from? (Honestly, not trying to be snarky, just curious why this vernacular is annoying to you.)




Because it is correct English. Also, one is graduated from an school, university, college, etc., not
I graduated college.". Which school and why didn't they teach you how to speak English correctly?

People who feel compelled to criticize others but can't even proof their own post ("an school").

Bicycles on the sidewalk period.

Drivers who wait at an empty four way stop until someone else shows up.

Are you a recent arrival from India, by chance? We have several IT acquaintances who moved to No. Calif. directly from India in the past 10 years and they speak the Queen's textbook English like this.

Random annoying thing -- people who pretend not to understand how to merge when a lane will disappear on the highway, etc. They attempt to cut in at the last moment.

People who update their FB status contstantly

People who call themselves type A as a way to brag about how "perfect" they are

I could go on and on...

People who talk holding their cell phones while driving, esp turning corners, changing lanes, manoeuvring out of parking spaces.

Men who tuck their shirts into their shorts.

People who ask if you're done when they should be asking if you are finished. Unless of course you have been baked, broiled, or fried.

People who use the word persnickety.

People who let their cats roam free.

My single, childless, in-laws who are always telling me how I should be raising my children.

People (like Mike Holmes) who wear one earring.



If your ILs are childless where does your husband fit in this equation?


Obviously not MIL and FIL but SIL and BIL.

When I have a stray hair that is just long enough to bother me....but not long enough to tweeze.

When I bite my tongue. It's so hard to avoid biting that spot again!

This made me laugh, I understand the way it to work is to use the lane until the lane ends. I get annoyed at the people who insist on merging in a half a mile before the lane ends.

DH, DS, DD, etc.... I f*ing hate these designations. "Dear' is so condescending to me...I cringe every time I type it which I do only because it is much quicker than typing out husband or daughter, etc.

I also hate when guys say 'we're pregnant'. My first thought "waht a p*ssy"...does he have a vagina?

Someone who calls YOU to "catch up" but then proceeds to coo and talk baby with their infant throughout the conversation.

Parents who make no effort to control their kids. Kid have bad days, yes. Kids can be unpredictible, nasty, rude, etc. But please....please....at least make an EFFORT. Even if things continue to go downhill, I am cool so long as you made a damn effort.
