Didn't like that one? Then try this one:

You couldn't hack the winters in Minneysoda any more, so they kicked your ass out and exiled you to Texas, where even the Okies avoid your ass.

 :-)

YOU try clearing 6+" of snow off of a 135 ft driveway with spinal cord issues & 3 surgeries...... :tongue:  (and by YOURSELF)

Besides, I wasn't "exiled", but returned to my Native State...

and SCREW those inbred Okies!! (I had some  sit by me at the Doctor's office on Monday, all three were morbidly obese, two were on oxygen & in electric wheelchairs!!) The one sat on my cane and didn't even notice it!!  :o

Yeah, I didn't catch that the first time around.....Thundley requires all his change bills to be facing the same way??  Well, aren't we la-dee-da.   Need them ironed with starch as well?  

Here's my current peeve.  They are playing that Plentyoffish.com commercial WAY too often.  And what the hell is the last line in the song?  "There's got to be a reason for ~garble~"

I've freely admitted in the past that I'm somewhat OCD......

I started doing that when I used to get most of my breakfasts & lunches from a vending machine. Don't knock it, it worked.

BTW, NEVER EVER touch the stuff on my desk. Even in chaos, I know where everything is.....

Taking wrinkled bills and running them along an edge (like the side of the machine) works pretty well, too.....

Idiots that pass and pull in front of you and then make a left turn, forcing you to stop while they wait on oncoming traffic to clear.  If the jerks would have stayed behind you could have made it through the light.

I eat a LOT of mexican food...... Don't matter where I am. When I was up in MN, for the longest time I had to go to a Mexican Market. A couple of years before I left, Walmart started carrying "Latino" foods.

If I am in the left lane and going above the speed limit and some asshole flies up on my ass.  I slow down.  It makes my day to piss someone off  :tongue:

It was his attitude that got me however. it's how dare we not sell anything mexican!! If we(any American retail store) do sell anything international, it is out of courtesy, or for the fact that Americans like to make mexican(or anything international) dishes in the privacy of their own home.

...Aside from the obvious Libtards

Just the every day stuff that gets on your nerves.

I can't stand:

Liars
Nose-pickers
Tail-gaters and those who don't use their signal lights
Noisy eaters. Hearing you chew, chomp and slurp grosses me out.
Channel surfers who won't even stop to look and see what's on. 
Bad spellers (someone here is driving me nuts and if I quoted this person to fix her posts I would be a hero member by now!)

Other seriously more important stuff but you get the drift.

What are yours?






I know I can't spell...but give me a break..I gots a swiss cheese brain still.

I'm reviving this just because I can.  I'm pissed. 

You know how the DUmmies refuse to believe something, even though it's right on videotape?  Such as everything Beck shows, then the DUmmies say "Fox Lies!" 

I am spending time on someone else's mistake, done over and over again.

Me:  You have double-dipped this deduction.
Them from another company:  Nope, no I haven't.
Me:  <prepares paper evidence, complete with arts-and-crafts blocking out of info that's NOYB, and faxes it over.>  Do you see?
Them:  No, Karin.   :lalala:

They started putting the stupid letterbox around my movies! Then, they told us it was because our TVs were the wrong shape. Then, the bastards sold us new flat TVs in the supposedly correct shape. Last week, I picked up a new DVD and watched it on my new shaped TV and what did I see? The *******ED LETTERBOX! HNC, I'm not sure how, but, you are to blame for this.
