Okay, last post was what I love, let's switch to what I'm tired of...
Stupid commercials. I hate the new Routon car commercials with Brooke Shields. They aren't clever - they're just stupid.
People who take up two parking spots for their car. If you're that worried, get a cheaper car or park further away. Please.
Politics. I can't wait for this election to be over. The nasty campaigning on both sides is out of control.
Laziness. I have no patience for you if you are lazy.
People who vote based on party or race. If you're voting for McCain because he's Republican or Obama because he's black, you're an idiot. Vote based on what you believe and what they stand for. Pay attention.
People who don't discipline their kids and expect the rest of us to be fine with it when their little cloven hooves go running past and over us. It's not cute. It's not funny now and it won't be funny in 10 years when they get sent to juvy.
Viagra commercials. Maybe some day when I'm a dusty old cougar and need to get a little sumthin' sumthin' I won't find it so offensive, but today, right now, eewww. And, not for nothing, I'm sure Elvis would be thrilled to see what you've done with Viva Las Vegas. Not bad enough he's buried in the backyard like a family pet, now look what you've done.
People who complain about the current economy but haven't changed their lifestyle. We're in this mess because we were greedy and made bad decisions. I realize that's not true for everyone, but for most of us, it is. Grow up, suck it up, and take responsibility for your own actions.
Okay, enough for now. It's actually been a nice day off, relaxing, reading, watching some cheesy old horror movies, but I had a conversation with my daughter and it made me think. She mentioned a conversation she had with a friend who has more disposable income than most of my working adult friends, and although I love that friend of hers, she needs a good spanking.
On that happy note, what are you tired of?

Oh, so many complaints, so little time!! *deep breath* Okay...here goes...
Rudeness. All kinds. I don't discriminate. But come to think about it, I'm especially annoyed by people who are rude or inconsiderate to the elderly. That really makes me mad! Seriously, get off your *ss and give your seat to the grandmother tottering nearby.
People who drop in unexpectedly. What? Your time is more valuable than mine? What if I was in the bath, or about to go out or having a fight with my SO? Go - AWAY, and call ahead next time!
Bratty kids in restaurants who have parents who ignore their behaviour. Maybe it's okay for you to listen to their tantrums because you're used to them. I am not, and would like a peaceful night out, thank you.
Mail that gets destroyed by the letter carrier as he stuffs it into our postal box.
People who say 'Season's Greetings' instead of 'Merry Christmas'
People who mistake Canadians for Americans.
Oh...I could go on and on...but that's also a pet peeve of mine. People who don't know when to shut it - so I will! :) Thanks for the chance to vent.
"People who mistake canadians for americans? Seriously? Is that like an epidemic or something? That's pretty funny. Anyway, I'm with you on the whole political thing. I'm tired of having conversations with people who are so deeply rooted to a party that it blinds them.
Undisciplined kids, fo sho. People that can't effing drive, and just the stupid and close minded in general. Open that shit up. Open sesame. C'mon, you can do it, ooooooopen.
Mr. Poopie, if you were Canadian you would realize how many times we get mistaken. And the fact that Americans pin Canadian flags to their coats and bags while traveling - is annoying but hilarious because most people abroad can tell Americans because they're louder and generally more annoying than Canadians. They dress badly on vacation too.
When I was in London, UK, some people said to us...'Canadians? Oh yeah, they're smart Americans.' Made us laugh though!
girl - All my life I've been getting mistaken for being from every other hispanic country than the one I'm actually from. I don't need to be Canadian to have had the same experience. It's not so bad, really it isn't.
"Americans because they're louder and generally more annoying than Canadians. They dress badly on vacation too" Who's sounding like the closeminded one now?
Not closed minded. It's true. As a teen, I worked as a cashier at a gas station near the highway. Lots of tourists from the States, people from all over would come in. I'm hardly closed minded. At least my country teaches us about people from around the world, not just our own. We had penpals from the States in our English class - the kids thought we lived in igloos, didn't have bikes and skied to school. That's sad that they'd think such things about the country that shares their border. I'm sure the same misconceptions are also in place with Mexico. It's just facts as I have experienced, that's all. I know there are always exceptions too - thank goodness. LOL.
lose that girl: haha. I bet you don't live on the coasts of Canada. I sometimes think middle America is another country. We coast liberals are smart, dress nicely, keep our voices low and appreciate culture and diversity. Now I'm the one sounding closed minded but some stereotypes are true. I love Canada.
Some stereo types are true. However, we shouldn't use them as a paradigm to characterize an entire nation.
I have to say I've enjoyed the comments more than my original blog. Thanks guys!
"People who don't discipline their kids and expect the rest of us to be fine with it..." totally makes my family holidays unbearable
