Things that annoy me.
- People who insist on showing me their blue tongues after they have eaten blue food.
- People who insist on telling all about their kids vomiting and pooping, (I’m really not a fan of the wee ones, they scare the heck out of me) and then get all and offended and bored looking when I tell them about my cats latest round of vomiting and pooping.
- Strollers in the grocery store.
- A certain husky when she rolls in turkey or deer crap. (sigh, but I love her anyway)
- Gum. I don’t like it, I don’t like it when people are eating it around me, and I really hate it when they spit it out on the pavement where it gets stepped on.
- The two hundred year old lady I got stuck behind yesterday when I was late for work, when I was finally able to pass her I looked over and she had a juice box in one hand, a banana in the other and was steering with her elbows. I hope she has hemorrhoids
- The gazillion handicap spaces in front of the local Lowes store, I’m all for handicapped parking don’t get me wrong. But at this particular store they are five deep on every isle. Never are they going to have that many handicapped people at one time entering a hardware store. Don’t get me started on a local grocery store where they have a million and two, (I counted) handy capped spaces, (although at a grocery store I can see why) but they also have spots ‘reserved’ for parents with young children. I have to be honest, I park in those spots.
- People in general.
Okay so why is this titled not really a blog post? Two reasons, one I promised myself I wouldn’t rant on my blog, and seeing as this is not an actual post it doesn’t count. The second reason is because today is the thirtieth of the month, and my stats are tied with last month so I just need one person to read this and I beat my last months stats, yes I am that pathetic when it comes to such things. And I did enjoy writing this.
Thanks for reading.

Yay! You beat last month! And I agree with several points!
You made it official and put me one ovet last month. Since your view I’ve had a few more views making this month better then the last three.
Those reserved family spots are lifesavers. Sorry.
They were not thought of in 1989-1991 when I had my 3 sons under age 3! I could have used something like that! I had one in the stroller, one on “top” of the stroller in a carrier and one holding on to the side of the stroller. We were a sight! š
No need to be sorry, they still really annoy me.
Yes but what about spaces for those of us who have such severe arthritis in the knees but refuse to apply for a handicap sticker yet because there are people much worse than I but at the end of a long freaking day on my feet in the lab I have to park at the back of the parking lot so that some young mother doesn’t have to push the stroller as far. It is all on your perspectve. The only ones that deserve the close spot are the truly handicapped for whom life is difficult enough to just get out of the car.
Denyce, you could get one and just use it on the days the knees are acting up. š
My personal fave is #8!
Congrats on beating your stats for the month.
I too question the family parking spots, like how many does the world really need, and know someone with a handicapped sticker/pass who really shouldnt have it. Pisses me off. Then again many many things piss me off….
I too am annoyed easily, way to easily. I should probably work on that, but its hard when you are annoyed.
OK, I’m probably going to annoy you with this: here, we don’t have sufficient parking!!! And the handicapped or the mother with kids – it’s more like the 80’s that Lois mentioned; no such consideration.
But we are creative – the entire family looks out for a free parking lot or we leave early to get a slot in the parking near the shops. Otherwise, we take the 2-wheeler, that is a must in this traffic congested city and that can be parked anywhere. We don’t bat an eyelid even if it’s on the pavement š
It’s like I said, I don’t mind the handicapped or even the family. I have an issue when there are 15 isles of parking and the first 5 spots of each row are specialty parking. That is 75 spots gone, in front of a hardware store. Never will they get that many people in at the same time. And more often then not, some idiot with a handicap sticker who only has one because grandma is handicapped and the third of e ery month he has to take her to the podiatrist parks in one of the spots and grandma isn’t even in the car!
