One of my biggest pet peeves is guys who think that because you are a girl you know nothing about _________(fill in the blank)..... i'm confident enough with myself that if i don't know something i will ask, i don't need you to dumb stuff down for me just because i'm a chick.

People who drive recklessly and put my life in danger. I drive this one dangerous road almost every week, it's 1 lane each way with tons of semi trucks and no side to veer off onto if needed...mostly swamp, large trees, or tight bridges. I never tailgate on this road because of this, plus just in the last 2 weeks 5 people have died on it. And i get people that tailgate me like crazy then pass me in little sh*tter cars because there is like a 4-5 car space between me and the car in front of me. And it's not like i'm driving slow, i'm usually going about 70! ugh.

People that think that because they are rich, exceptionally smart, or hot can get away with anything and everything and only define themselves by that one trait.

People that are fake, and adults that act like they are still in high school..... for example, I have classes with sorority chicks that make fun of how other people in the class are dressed. Grow the f*ck up.

Incompetent people who pretend to be competent and just get in your way and slow down your day because you have to compensate for them because they won't admit that they can't do the job. Also people at work that are lazy. I don't want to do your work for you and get paid for only doing my work.

Hmm.... what else? Oh, people that are disrespectful of your belongings.

ANd lastly, people that are inconsiderate.


WOW, it sounds like i hate everyone, but really i don't! I actually tend to get along with everyone and anyone, but this stuff just really really bothers me, regardless of how i handle them or the situation.

I've found the PERFECT solution for tailgaters... Clean your windshield! No, rilly, clean your windshiled. Of course, this only works at highway speeds (70 qualifies) and has almost zero effect against the taller SUV's. The spray from your W/W's will go back and mist up the TGers windshield. Not enough to clean it, just enoiugh to annoy him/her. I go through LOTS of washer fluid with this technique but I get to ANNOY lots of people. Its a trade off...

I'm not rich, but I am exeptionally smot, AND hart, so I'm defined by 2 traits. Nyaaahhh! (yeah, I mispelt those on porpouise, phunnier that way)

Growing OLD is mandatory... growing UP is optional

hmmm.... cosmic string theory, well i know very little about that theory, so on that one you can feel free to enlighten me if so needed but i believe it's related to black hole like objects in space and their correlation to the Big Bang Theory..... or does it relate to cosmic bowling or something? I don't know all the specifics, studied bio, chemistry, and physics but switched major to business

good idea about the windshield wiper, i usually tap my breaks and watch them freak out, or i just slow way down and let them pass me..... not too dramatic, but.....what can you do

and yah, i just don't like people that are mean to others for no reason...i mean, if you do something and deserve it it's one thing, but seriously being mean and rude is lame and pointless

and i am pissed about disrespectful people because i was out of town for 2 months, went home and found that my roommate trashed my house and had a bunch of freaks in my house who filled my garbage disposal with cigars among a million other things, luckily i got home right when her lease was up so i didn't renew it.... it's a brand new condo and i own it, so it's not like we just rented some crappy place, i'm still bitter about the situation

and i'll think about your proposal..... i can't think of any girl who would refuse a "sniper scope"..... how big is your sniper scope? lol that would probably help me with my decision

ta ta!

awe, well you can come and be my new roommate if you want, lol..... yah it just was really annoying because she seemed so sweet and quiet but what can you do, i guess i kinda over exaggerated, nothing was really trash trashed, but i had to throw a 200 dollar rug away from my screened in deck because it looks like some mixed drinks were spilled on it, and it's really humid here so the entire 5 by 8 rug was molded, a 500 dollar rug had to be thrown away from the kitchen because something red was spilled all over it, brand new marble coffee table was stained from drinks sitting on it and won't come off, and brand new couches were stained a bit, turned on my over without looking into it first, smoke came out and inside was a plastic bag and about an inch of something spilled on the oven floor, my new washing machine smelled like mold, so obviously something sat wet in it for a long time [&o]

i had my mom come up, lol, and help me clean, the condo is only 1400 sq feet and it took us 8 hours to clean the whole place up

on the funny side (ok this totally contradicts my earlier statement about mean people) when moving out she slipped down the steps and broke her ankle, oh, and i'm not giving her her deposit back, but deposit wasn't even enough to cover the cost of the two rugs let alone everything else.... and i'm not a rich person here, all my furniture was paid for by my credit card, my parents helped me with my downpayment and having a roommate almost pays my mortgage.... .so i'm just pissed in general

sorry had to rant
