why is it when a BYB is being called out on their unethical behavior they get defensive, then insulting?

Stop posting a billion facebook posts about how broke you are, and you can never do anything because you have no money and you dont qualify for scholarship grands, and you cant get student loans BECAUSE YOU JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR YOU CANT AFFORD. GET RID OF YOUR CAR AND STOP COMPLAINING.
You DO NOT need a BRAND NEW car. STOP acting like you do! I don't feel sorry for you at all.

Dear pop up black Friday ads

For each one of you that I accidentally click on, I'm not shopping at that store for at least a week. I hope you're happy. Stop it.

Kisses!
me

Cut it out with joining a forum just to find a mate for your dog. It'd be easier to deal with if they trickled here one by one but they seem to always come in groups. Reminded me why I have the intro threads on ignore on my other dog forum.

Maestro you loveable lump of clumsy giant schnauzer,

PLEASE stop hurting me, seriously, those "love bites" are not lovely, nor are the bruises covering my arm... Looks like my very sweet b/f has been hitting me thanks to your giant clumsy face being incapable of coming near me without making contact.

So CUT IT OUT!

Stop walking out into the middle of the road in our neighborhood, with your child in tow, and holding up your hand to tell cars to stop so you can jaywalk. We have CROSSWALKS. Walk 50 feet up to the intersection and use them!

Well, they're definitely not from WV.

In WV, they don't have the child "in tow," they send the child first!

Sadly, she does indeed know her stuff. You'd never guess though with her va-jay nearly hanging out. I am happy to report that the "young hussy treatment" worked, however, she has now taken to wearing skin tight pants to work instead. Sigh.

Why can I only thank this once?!?!?!

As a woman in IT I couldn't agree more! I've done this for 12 years...it's not looking like it's going to change any time soon.

Dear co-worker(s), please take note of my status before you send me an instant message. Yellow means I’m away from my desk which most likely means I’m at lunch or really away from my desk and not able to respond to you at the moment, yet you sit and wait…no doubt scratching your head and wondering why I haven’t responded. Red means I’m busy or in a meeting, yet you still interrupt me with your selfish request or idle chit chat because your day ends at 3PM and not one minute later. Oh, did I say I was busy…working on my own projects? Green means I’m available but I guess you think that means I’m busy or away because you never send me an IM when it’s green. Thank goodness beige is truly offline or you would probably try to send me an IM at the butt crack of dawn when you get to work and I’m still sleeping.
Thank you for your consideration.

Second gripe for today

Please…….stop talking on your cell phone in the ladies room! Number one, I have no desire to hear your personal conversation and second, it’s just gross! One hand on your phone and the other on the toilet paper roll, eeek!

I feel so much better now

Dear new neighbor of the year,

Your bass does not need to be turned up so high that the walls in OUR living room are shaking! The people who lived there before you had a party every weekend and still managed not to be heard by us so it's not like the walls are super thin.

One of my life goals/persistent fantasies is to install one of these wall blasting, window rattling units in my own vehicle.

Then, when I am accosted by music I'd rather not hear, bass or no, I can respond with more dynamic music. Classical. I've longed, ached to be able to do this for so long.

(Disclaimer: This does not mean I don't listen to other sorts of music, up to and including some of the stuff that's oft blasted from these units. It just means that I feel a little classical in response would be just desserts. I choose what I want to listen to, you choose what you want to listen to. It'd be considerate of you to not make me listen to yours, but if you insist....cuz I'm just that sort of ornery.)

A local plaza plays classical music so the teenagers don't hang around - and my dd's old high school used to play bagpipe music on the nights that they wanted the kids to clear out quickly so they could set up for whatever was going on that evening.

Heh that's exactly what my mother does.

No, bagpipe music is soooo much better. Obviously, Highland pipes are best, but really, any kind of bagpipe (Uillian, Northumbrian, etc.) will do.

**melbrod** · 12-29-2012, 09:27 PM

A friend of mine plays the bagpipes--she has to go outside to practice sometimes because her family gets tired of the noise.

Of course, that way the whole neighborhood gets to hear bagpipe music. Those things carry a long long way. Surprisingly, no complaints.

Australdi · 12-29-2012, 10:07 PM

playing bagpipe music wouldn't have worked to clear me out...I'm like a moth to a flame for it and have been know to wander off in search of the smallest waft of a piper. (I must be a rat) hehe

I totally did not want to be the first to admit it, but I love it also.

So, Ma Nature.

Cut it out.

Rain. OR snow.

Either.

Just cut it out with this in-between icy crapola.
