RE: Pet Peeves
fat chicks who wear stuff three sizes to small i mean come on i know i dont have a six pack which is why I dont go around wearing a medium or small sized shirt. If you cant see you toes it is time to stop wearing belly shirts and short shorts with g-strings in fact now that they deliver groceries to your door there is really no need for fat chicks to leave the house at all.
oh and overpriced beer (unfortunatly thosebastards know I will pay for a good beer)

RE: Pet Peeves
People that insist on stating the obvious...complete waste of oxygen. For instance,nearly all of John Madden's commentary is useless!
Or the people that stop for a pedestrian who is still like 30 feet from evening entering the crosswalk! Ugh!

RE: Pet Peeves
people who slow down about 300 feet before the turn lane. and the turn lane itself has to be 400 feet long. and then people who take FOREVER to get INTO the turn lane.
if your gonna slow down so early, at least GET OVER QUICKER!
usually its old people who do it.
but still.

RE: Pet Peeves
my pet peeves are stupid people and immigrants who don't want to learn English.
My respect goes to those from most Asian, European and Middle Easterncountries - they at least learn and use English - but the Mexicans feel CA is just Tejuana Heights to them. They have moved up and don;t need to bother to learn the lingo.
Funny story - had two families in our office - one Mexican the other East Indian. The Mexicans came first so we were trying to help them through their 14 yr old daughter acting as the interpreter. She was doing ok but was coping an attitude because her family was pissed off (like so many who get their cars impounded do) and was getting smart with me and my counter help.
Suddenly the wife of the Indian guy asks the girl where was she born. The girl looks at her and says in LA area somewhere - and then the woman asks - your parents have lived her all this time and still do not speak English? The girl had no answer. The parents obviously understood enough and began to argue (still through their daughter) about how they didn't need to.
"So this is why you need a 14 yr old to conduct your business?" the Indian woman said. "We have been here less than two years - on a legal visa - andneither my husband or Ido not have to rely on others to succeed. Perhaps you need to go back to your country and you can do better." or something to that matter...
That's when the 14 yr old and her parentsgot upset and I had to escort the whole family out.
When I returned the Indian fella began to apologize for his wife and I told him that I needed to thank her for saying what I would like to say 90% of the time. [8D]

RE: Pet Peeves
dear god i had a horrible week my car tried to kill me
this week i had an appointment to see my teacher at 830PM which is super annoying since i get our of class at 600pm and my house is too far from school to go home
on that day at 800pm i got me a flat tire in the parkin lot as i was leaving, getting the flatt tire was bad but then my jack broke on my half way and the car dropped, which scared the shiet out of me, god dam shietty audi/vw jacks, why did they get so cheap on the jack, so i had to call my bro to use his jack but it didnt fit so i got frustrated and barrowed his car to get to my teachers office (not on cmapus it was like a block away). went to go talk to the teacher had to hurry and rushed it, when i got back to my bro, my car was surrounded by cops, i was like wtf now, the cops where giving my bro the third degree, askin did u steal this car, why are u here and blah blah even though my bro had the keys and the same last name. the cops where total dick heads. funny thing was earlier today i was low on air (the tire that went out on me) and i asked the a cop in my parkin structure if he had an air pump or somehting and the dick head said do i look like a mechanic to u, im a cop, what was his problem, pissed that he didnt have his morning donut.
i gave up and just decided to use my bros jack again, it tore up the under body pannel a lil but i was too annoyed and pissed to care anymore
same everyone was pissin me off
i hadto meet up wit a classmatefor a projecton the same day i had to go to lunch wit a friend
my friend was late for lunch becasue she freakin over slept, that kinda annoying me
and i had to rush things and leave early to meet up wit my partner
my partner was freaking late casue she lost track of time
so i left my friend who came late to rush to meet someone who was also late
wat pissed me off themost was my partner didnt know my name
when we where puting the group members names down she was like who is CHENG
i just looked at her like WTF, i was super annoyed and just hung my head
i put the effert to learn ur useless name u kno
and the other days of my week been horrible schooling and test which is slowling killin me
and having nothing like disapointment after disapointment
i also wanted to say my tranny (tiptronic) on my audi took a shiet also, for a bit it wouldnt let me pass 2rd gear which is annoying when u stuck in a lil bit of traffic, nothing more gas burning then goin 35mph at 6000rpm, the stupid thing is when i exited and turned off my car everything was fine again, execpt i still have a hard shift and clunk into 3rd gear.
the only good thing was i went to the bar wit my friends on friday dranked a few and the down side is to day is saturday and im at work wit[&o]and im kinda messed up
